**Delhi Police Busts Pakistan-Linked Terror Module, Averting Potential Attack**
**New Delhi, September 12, 2025** – The Delhi Police announced today the successful dismantling of an inter-state terror module with suspected ties to Pakistan. Five individuals have been arrested in a series of coordinated raids across multiple states, preventing what authorities believe could have been a major terrorist attack.
According to Additional Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Pramod Kushwaha, the suspects were radicalized online by a Pakistan-based handler who used encrypted social media to provide ideological training, weapon designs, and instructions for building Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs). The group, led by Ashar Danish (23) of Ranchi, allegedly planned to acquire land and “wage jihad” in India.
The operation began on September 9th with the arrest of Aftab Qureshi and Sufiyan Abubakar near the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station in Delhi. Police had been tracking the suspects’ activities for six months and apprehended them as they attempted to purchase weapons.
“Our teams had been tracking their activities for six months. They were also planning to recruit more youth,” Kushwaha stated.
Following the initial arrests, police teams conducted raids in Ranchi, Rajgarh (Madhya Pradesh), and Telangana, leading to the apprehension of three more suspects: Mohammad Huzaifa and Kamran Qureshi. Raids uncovered significant amounts of bomb-making materials, including sulphur powder, sodium bicarbonate, ball bearings, gas masks, and electronic devices which are now being analyzed by central agencies.
Investigators believe the group intended to raise funds to buy land for a “Khilafat zone.”
Authorities emphasized that the arrests had averted a potential major terror strike and are continuing efforts to trace the wider network, funding channels, and possible targets. Five suspects have been remanded in police custody. The investigation is ongoing.
