Three Terrorists With ISI Links Held; Connection to Shahzad Bhatti Emerges
New Delhi: The Delhi Police Special Cell has achieved a major breakthrough by arresting three terrorists linked to Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI. Initial investigations have revealed that these three terrorists were connected to the network of Pakistani gangster Shahzad Bhatti. These arrests are also being linked to the recent Red Fort blast case, although security agencies have not yet confirmed their direct connection to the main accused, Dr. Umar Un Nabi. All three accused are said to be residents of North India and have been in contact with the ISI for a long time.
The investigation into the Delhi blasts is revealing many layers. The emergence of this new module has provided the investigating team with several important clues. However, officials have also cautioned that all angles are being investigated and no conclusions are being drawn hastily. Nevertheless, these arrests have certainly given a new direction to the police investigation.
The Special Cell arrested the three terrorists from different states—Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Madhya Pradesh. They recovered several electronic gadgets, suspicious documents, and evidence of digital chats that shed light on their foreign connections. Police suspect these terrorists were planning attacks in Delhi and other major cities.
Shahzad Bhatti is a resident of Punjab, Pakistan, but is reportedly active in the UAE on a Moroccan passport. Bhatti describes himself as a "soldier of Islam and Pakistan" on social media platforms and has posted several threatening videos. He once smuggled weapons with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, but the two became enemies in 2025.
When Bishnoi threatened to attack Pakistan after the killing of 26 Hindu tourists in the Pahalgam terror attack in April 2025, Bhatti retaliated by claiming that he possessed confidential information related to the murders of Sidhu Moosewala and Baba Siddiqui, as well as evidence of political funding.
Delhi Police has called a press conference at 4 pm today. It is believed that the entire terror network will be exposed in this conference. It will also clarify whether these arrested terrorists are truly linked to the Delhi blasts or whether a new module was operating.
Security agencies believe that these terrorists associated with Bhatti's gang were expanding his 'operations network' in India. Police hope that interrogation will reveal significant revelations that will provide a comprehensive picture of Pakistan-backed terror modules active in India.
