NIA probes alleged ISI operative Jasvir Chaudhary drone smuggling plot
India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) is digging into a major terror plot allegedly planned by an ISI operative Jasvir Chaudhary.
The plan involved using drones to sneak weapons and IEDs across the Indo-Pak border and into Delhi, Punjab, and possibly other areas in February 2026.
The NIA has registered a case under antiterrorism laws on Ministry of Home Affairs directions.

Things unraveled when Punjab police arrested Shubham Kumar in Amritsar on February 10, 2026.
They found a metal-packed IED, foreign pistol, and ammo, reportedly dropped by drones from across the border.
Now, officials are tracking down more suspects and trying to confirm who Chaudhary really is.
