A Pakistan ISI-terror module planned to target a historic temple in Delhi and a popular Dhaba on the Delhi-Sonipat highway and a military camp in Haryana through operatives linked to the Shahzad Bhatti module, Sources said.
The source revealed that the information emerged when the nine alleged operatives arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell under 'Gang Bust Operation 2.0' were interrogated.
The investigators had found that one of the nine accused had conducted a reconnaissance of the historic temple and sent photographs to their Pakistan-based handlers.
The module reportedly planned to attack police personnel and paramilitary forces deployed at the temple. The sources also said that the accused were given the task of carrying out a grenade attack on a Dhaba on the Delhi-Sonipat highway.
The location is frequented by thousands of people daily.
"A military camp in Hisar was also allegedly surveyed, and videos of the area were shared with handlers across the border. Some police stations in Uttar Pradesh were also on the target list," the source added.
Security agencies are now working to identify additional operative and sleeper cells that may be linked to the module across states.
They are examining digital devices to trace communication patterns, funding routes and the broader network behind the module.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-terrorism Squad had uncovered a terror conspiracy and arrested two suspects linked to a Pakistan-based network, ANI reported.
The suspects were caught with a pistol, live ammunition, and a knife.
Intelligence found that the gangsters were acting on the instructions of the ISI to compromise the internal security.
