Two suspected jihadists planning attacks in Delhi during Christmas arrested


New Delhi, Dec 16 (PTI) : Two suspected operatives of a jihadi organisation, who were allegedly planning to carry out attacks in the national capital during Christmas and New Year, were detained by the Special Cell of Delhi Police on Tuesday.

The two suspected operatives are believed to be natives of Sambhal district in Uttar Pradesh. Police refused to disclose the names of the operatives and the organisation they belong to. Special Cell teams are conducting search operation at several places across UP, tracking other potential operatives of the jihadi outfit, said a police officer.


The two youths detained by the police were already under the Special Cell's scanner. However, they disappeared around two years ago, following which they are suspected to have crossed the border and attended training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan with their associates, the officer said.

The two youths were detained on Tuesday from Delhi following intelligence input suggesting their presence. The police have also got certain leads suggesting that the duo, along with their associates, were allegedly planning strikes in the national capital during Christmas and New Year season, the officer said.

It is also believed that the duo attended training facilities allegedly set up by LeT, the officer added. Earlier this month, the Special Cell had registered a case in connection with the presence of two suspected LeT operatives who allegedly infiltrated from PoK and were seen in the national capital, where they are allegedly hatching plans to target high profile individuals.

    good, so you don't want suspects to be arrested but let free? and wait for their action, and catch red handed by camera and get your consent? Till they make one big impact, they continue to be innocents, right? come on yaar.

    wrong to arrest suspects and wait at least till they kill a dozen and that action is caught on live camera? come on. suspects means there is some evidence. In the past we have seen how some have rallied behind batla terrorists or even ishrat by saying that they are innocents. some people will not believe facts until it happens right infront of their eyes.

    There are many visible and invisible enemies to a country. Some are in training, hiding, recruiting, propagating, financing or protecting. India is fighting them since independence and even fighting them today. No country can eliminate each and every enemy.

    The role of good governance becomes therefore critical. Without good governance, there will be forced injustice, consistent injustice attracts propaganda, propaganda to recruitment and so forth till terrorism.

    A realistic fight towards terrorism has many many different dimensions to fight with. Modi Govt., is busy calling even soldiers who fought for the country as anti-nationals bec of OROP, then what can be the view of this ideology towards the one it always hated?

    Firstly, let us all be grateful to our security & intelligence agencies for the timely arrest of these jihadists. Citizens must be alert & report all suspicious activities to the nearest police station. The enemy is not in a far away country ! but right among us & will strike when they are activated, by their mentors. these sleeping modules or cells are highly radicalized & motivated, they are programmed to kill & be killed in order to enter Jannath ( Paradise) I hope & pray that my country be free, from the scourge of all evil in the coming new year 2016 !!!!!!

    what nonsense to jump into conclusion that suspects are innocents? as per you kasab was innocent, afsal, yakoob, tiger jundal, bhatakl are innocent, but only sadhvi is terrosit? don't bring religion on such things. terrorists are terrorists, they don't belong to any religion.

    Yes, if they are guilty please punish them but don't implicate innocents and spoil their life... which is happening these days and in Mumbai blast case only one is found guilty and rest are d innocent...Punish the guilty but if you frame and implicate innocents due to pressure from political parties, victimised group shall not keep quiet... Justice and social justice is prime important for peaceful society.....I don't say and shall never say Kasab, Bhatkal brothers, Pragna Thakur, Aseemanand, Col Purohit are innocents.... You know when Mecca and Malegoan blast took place, police took muslim youths into custody and kept them in jail for years until Late Karkare implicate Sangh Parivar members...History has the proof to vouch for my statement.

    How are police to know who is innocent and who is guilty as terrorists do not mention it on their foreheads that they are terrorists? If any innocent person is arrested and his life is spoilt then it because of the action of the fundamentalists who belong to the same religion. In any war there will be collateral damage.

    Instead of arresting them, and by badluck if some badincident happen on christmas / New year same Mr. shahnawaz kukkikatte, will comment that "isme RSS ka haath hai" right?

    suspect is hindu / Muslim / christian if a person may be threat to countries security should arrest and need clear enquiry.

    When Mr. Modi told "Religion should be delinked from terror" on Nov 22nd also our daiji friends shouted. and now many here linking the religion with terror by telling innocent just because of religion.
