NEW DELHI: Delhi Police’s special cell busted a “pan-India terror module” as it nabbed five people from four different states who were hatching a Pakistan handler-sponsored “Khilafat model” in the country.In a press conference, additional commissioner (special cell) Pramod Kushwaha said that the accused had hatched a “two-fold plan” — forming a Khilafat-style group and then executing Ghazwa-e-Hind style jihad.“Their plan was two-fold. First, they had to form a Khilafat-style group. They have their own team, which is called Lashkar, and after that, they had to do jihad, Ghazwa-e-Hind type, on the basis of their distorted concept of understanding of Islam. Plus, some targeted killings were to be tasked to them,” Kushwaha said.“Sulphur powder, sulphuric acid, nitric acid, sodium bicarbonate, pH weighing checker, ball bearings and equipment which can be used for making an IED, wires, motherboards, laptops and mobile phones, plus weapons and cartridges have been found from them,” he added.This comes after Delhi Police’s special cell launched raids across the country and detained about a dozen suspects from Delhi, Ranchi and other places in coordinated raids on Tuesday and Wednesday after receiving specific intelligence from central agencies.Kushwaha said that five of these suspects were placed under arrest. Ashhar Danish, a resident of Ranchi, was the central character.“He was trying to give the impression from outside that he is running a professional company. So he used to code CEO. While in his inner group, his code was Ghazwa leader and as an NGO, he was trying to acquire land… They had an internal group, these are highly radicalised boys,” Kushwaha said.“Along with him, two people were from Mumbai — Sufiyan Abubakar Khan and Aaftab Ansari. These two people were arrested from Delhi. One Huzaifa Yaman has been arrested from Nizamabad, Telangana, and one Kamran Qureshi has been arrested from Rajgarh, Madhya Pradesh,” he added.Danish, the suspect arrested in Ranchi, was staying in a lodge for the past 18 months. He belongs to Bokaro district and claimed to be a graduate in English. Based on his disclosure, the cops, along with sleuths from the Jharkhand Anti-Terror Squad, conducted raids in Palamu as well.Delhi Police further said that the accused were trained in making IEDs and even cartridges. Police also recovered “incriminating drawings” from the accused. Cops said the suspects revealed their handler was teaching them to assemble IEDs online and told them to buy a range of items, including chemicals, to prepare a bomb.“This was a homegrown operation. So, acquiring weapons, including making IEDs, even cartridges, they were told to prepare on their own. Some incriminating drawings have also been found from them,” he said.Delhi Police filed an FIR under offences of promoting propaganda to create enmity between communities, disturbing religious harmony, and possessing illegal weapons.Police said that the central agencies are analysing the digital devices seized from the suspects to track their contacts and possible international links.The arrests have averted a possible terror strike in the country, they added.
