Delhi police make big revelations in big revelations in Lashkar module

New Delhi: A routine probe into anti-India posters pasted near the Kashmiri Gate metro station has unraveled a larger terror conspiracy with alleged links to Bangladesh-based handlers and the banned outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Posters Lead to Major Breakthrough

The investigation began on February 7 after provocative posters were found on metro pillars in North Delhi. CCTV footage and technical surveillance helped police identify suspects who had travelled from Kolkata to Delhi, carried out the poster campaign and returned shortly after. The case was later handed over to the Special Cell of the Delhi Police.

Kolkata Base and Foreign Handler

According to sources, the module had set up a rented accommodation on the outskirts of Kolkata for Rs 8,000 per month. The group allegedly received PDF files of the posters from a Bangladesh-based handler identified as Shabbir, who directed operations remotely. The posters were reportedly printed in Kolkata before being distributed in Delhi and Kolkata.

Investigators claim Shabbir transferred over Rs 80,000 to the module for procuring weapons, with more funds expected. Communication between members and the handler allegedly took place through encrypted messaging platforms. One suspect from Malda is said to have been in regular contact with him.

Larger Network Under Scanner

Authorities suspect that after carrying out planned terror activities, the group intended to send Bangladeshi operatives back across the border. Intelligence inputs have also pointed to the presence of multiple extremist organisations operating in Bangladesh, including Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh and Ansar Bangla Team, among others.

Eight Arrested

On February 15, the Special Cell arrested eight individuals in connection with the case, seven of whom are Bangladeshi nationals. A Delhi Police team, assisted by Kolkata Police, apprehended key suspects following coordinated raids.

Officials say the investigation is ongoing to determine the full extent of the cross-border links and any additional sleeper cells that may be involved.
