To discuss the issue of terrorism and the security scenario, the Delhi Police on Friday called an inter-State coordination meeting with its counterparts in neighbouring States and Intelligence agencies at its headquarters in the national Capital
“The meeting was called to discuss the issue of terrorism and the security scenario in the neighbouring States. The Afghanistan situation after the Taliban took over the country was also on the agenda,” said a senior police official.
On Tuesday, the Delhi Police’s Special Cell busted a Pakistan-organised terror module and arrested six men, including two ISI-trained terrorists.
The terrorists were allegedly planning several blasts across the country, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, during the forthcoming festivals of Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri and Ramleela.
Pakistan-based Anees Ibrahim, who is the brother of Dawood Ibrahim, was in touch with the underworld operatives to execute the terror plan.
The interrogation of the six men has revealed that the Pakistan terror module was being operated through two components — via the underworld and the Pak-ISI trained terror module.
The Taliban seised power in Afghanistan on August 15, two weeks before the US’ complete troop withdrawal on August 31 after a costly two-decade war. This forced Afghan President Ashraf Ghani to flee the country to the UAE.
The Taliban insurgents stormed across Afghanistan and captured all major cities in a matter of days, as Afghan security forces trained and equipped by the US and its allies melted away.
Thousands of Afghan nationals and foreigners have fled the country to escape the new Taliban regime and to seek asylum in different nations, including the US and many European nations, resulting in total chaos and deaths.
