New Delhi: Delhi Police’s Special Cell has arrested four men from Punjab and Delhi for allegedly planning a terror attack in the national capital on the directions of Pakistan-based ISI handler Shahzad Bhatti.

The accused were identified as Shubdeep Singh (23), Gurjant Singh (22), Sajan Singh (28), and Gaganpreet (24). Three are from Punjab, and one was arrested in Delhi. Police recovered two foreign-made pistols, nine live cartridges, and five mobile phones from them.

Acting on specific intelligence, a team led by Inspectors Satish Rana and Ashok, under ACP Vivek Kumar Tyagi, conducted raids in Delhi and Punjab. The first arrest was made in Amritsar, where Shubdeep Singh was caught with a pistol, cartridges, and phones. Further investigation led to the arrest of his associates Gurjant Singh and Sajan Singh in Punjab. The fourth accused, Gaganpreet, was arrested in Delhi on April 24.

During interrogation, the accused revealed they were in contact with Pakistani handlers using foreign phone numbers to avoid detection. They allegedly received arms and narcotics through drones from across the border. One of the accused, Gaganpreet, had conducted reconnaissance of police stations and religious places in Delhi and was tasked with carrying out a firing incident.
