Pak-backed terror network busted in Delhi, 7 held: Police
NEW DELHI, Jun 16 (PTI): Delhi Police dismantled an alleged Pakistan-backed terror-crime module operating in Delhi-NCR, arresting seven operatives accused of smuggling arms and narcotics from Pakistan and carrying out reconnaissance of potential targets, the photos of which were allegedly shared with handlers across the border, officials said on Tuesday.
The accused were allegedly working for Pakistan-based gangster-turned-terrorist Shahzad Bhatti and his associate Ajmal Gujjar, who investigators believe were operating under the patronage of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
Police said the network was involved in procuring and distributing illegal arms, ammunition and narcotic substances smuggled from Pakistan through drone drops in Punjab and subsequently supplied in Delhi-NCR.
