Delhi Police Arrests Six in Operation Against Shahzad Bhatti-Linked Terror and Arms ModulesPreviousNext

Delhi Police's Special Cell arrested six individuals linked to two modules associated with Pakistan-based gangster and terror operative Shahzad Bhatti. The modules, operating across Delhi, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh, were involved in terror activities and illegal arms trafficking.

Investigations are ongoing to determine the full extent of the network, its connections, and any planned attacks, including possible links to recent incidents like the Ranchi RSS office attack.
