Four terrorists of the Pakistan-based terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammed have entered Delhi and are planning to strike during the festival season, inputs received by security agencies have revealed. Security has been beefed up following the intelligence inputs and several airbases across North India have been put on high alert.
According to inputs by the security agencies, a special cell of the Delhi Police received an alert last evening about the presence of the terrorists in the capital. All four are said to be heavily armed. The police have been conducting raids across the capital city. Areas like Jamia Nagar, Jafrabad, Chandni Chowk, Okhla among other areas have been raided by the special cell of the Delhi police in search of the JeM terrorists. Reports say that in total, 9 different locations were raided by Delhi police last night and 2 suspects were detained for questioning.
“We are on alert and taking all anti-terrorism measures. We are working on all inputs. There is nothing to worry,” said MS Randhawa, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Delhi).

In the past weeks, security agencies have received several inputs about possible terror attacks in protest against Centre’s move on Article 370 for Jammu and Kashmir. Spooked by the decision, terror state Pakistan has been constantly trying to create unrest in India.
Recently, India was on high alert after intel inputs warning of a terror plan to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval, home ministry sources said on September 26.
