New Delhi | September 2025
In a major operation, the Delhi Police Special Cell has stopped what officials call one of the biggest terror threats in recent years. An extremist group that was planning suicide explosions and attacks on political leaders has been caught, with several members arrested in different states.
What the Group Planned
Police said the group was close to starting their plans:
- Suicide Attacks: They were preparing to set off blasts in crowded places in Delhi and other big cities.
- Targeted Killings: A political leader from Maharashtra was listed as one of their main targets.
- Future Goals: During questioning, the group admitted they wanted to create their own rule in the country by using violence and fear.
How Police Caught Them
The operation was based on inputs from central intelligence agencies. Raids were carried out at the same time in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra. Police arrested several suspects and found explosive items, electronic devices, and notes with details of possible attack sites.
A senior officer said:
“The group was highly motivated and dangerous. Their goal was not just mass killings but also to weaken the country’s democracy.”
Things Recovered
- Bomb-making materials and IED parts.
- Maps, photos, and notes of possible targets.
- Phone and internet records showing contact with foreign handlers.
- Propaganda material used to spread extremist ideas.
Experts are checking the devices and communication records to find out about the group’s links with people abroad.
Government and Security Response
The Union Home Ministry has been informed and is closely following the case. Security has been increased in Delhi and other cities. Extra police forces have been posted at airports, railway stations, and government offices.
Political leaders from different parties have strongly condemned the plot and said this is a reminder that everyone must stay alert against such threats.
Advice for the Public
Delhi Police requested citizens to:
- Report any unusual or suspicious activity on police helplines.
- Stay extra careful in crowded places during festivals.
- Avoid spreading unverified rumors or fake news on social media.
Parting Thoughts
This police action shows how terror groups continue to change their methods, but also how alert the security forces are. While this immediate danger has been stopped, investigations show there may be larger networks still active. For Delhi and the rest of the country, this close call is a reminder of the ongoing fight against terror.
