Vigilance in Crowded Markets

Posters have also been put up in Delhi's famous markets, such as Karol Bagh, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, Paharganj, Sadar Bazaar, and Chandni Chowk. The police have appealed to citizens that if anyone recognizes these terrorists or has information about their activities, they should immediately report them to 112.

Intelligence agencies warn

According to intelligence sources, Khalistani organizations, as well as Bangladesh-based terrorists and local gangsters, are operating under a hybrid model. Handlers based abroad no longer come directly to India, but are using gangsters from Punjab and surrounding states as foot soldiers. Weapons supply, reconnaissance, and attacks are being plotted in this manner.
