NIA Uncovers Faridabad Terror Module's Plans for Coordinated Attacks Across India

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has uncovered a large-scale terror conspiracy linked to the Faridabad terror module, involving plans for multiple bomb-making facilities and serial attacks across India. Between August 25 and 30, 2025, two accused doctors allegedly conducted reconnaissance in Lucknow to identify government targets and logistics for future strikes. The plot reportedly aimed to create sustained panic through coordinated explosions, with Uttar Pradesh as a key focus. Authorities seized nearly 2,900 kilograms of fertiliser, potentially preventing devastating attacks.
