Terror plot to attack Red Fort foiled; 8 men arrested
Delhi Police have arrested eight men from a module allegedly planning subversive activities; the arrests come amid intelligence warnings that the Red Fort was on a possible target list.
The suspects, believed to have ties with Pakistan's ISI and Bangladeshi extremist groups, were caught in coordinated raids across Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
Suspects scouted locations in Delhi, Kolkata
Most suspects are Bangladeshi nationals who'd been living under fake identities while working in Tiruppur's garment factories.
Police say they scouted locations in Delhi and Kolkata, rented secret hideouts, and even tried recruiting undocumented migrants.
The group also put up pro-Pakistan posters earlier this month.
All eight are being brought to Delhi for questioning as police try to trace their handlers—one reportedly linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba.
After these arrests, security has been tightened at religious sites across the city, with more CCTV cameras and bomb squads on alert.
