Four Pakistan-linked terror suspects to be produced before Delhi court today after police custody ends
New Delhi: Four terror suspects linked to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and the Mumbai underworld network are scheduled to be produced before Delhi’s Patiala House Court on Saturday following the completion of their police custody period.
The accused — Harvinder Singh, Manjeet Singh, Gagandeep Singh and Ang Kami Lama — were earlier presented before the court on May 30, when they were remanded to seven days of police custody for further interrogation.
The four were arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell in connection with an alleged Pakistan-backed terror module that investigators claim had operational links with Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company network. According to the police, the accused were allegedly acting under the direction of ISI operatives and handlers based in Pakistan.
During coordinated operations carried out across Delhi and several northern states, investigators recovered a substantial cache of weapons and ammunition from the suspects.
The seizure included Pakistan-manufactured hand grenades, Glock pistols and a large number of live cartridges.
According to the probe conducted so far, the terror module had allegedly conducted reconnaissance of several sensitive locations, including government installations, security establishments and crowded religious places in major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai and various locations in Punjab.
Investigators believe the accused were gathering Intelligence and assessing potential targets as part of a larger conspiracy.
In a related development, another key accused in the case, Huzaifa Ahmed Hashmi, was arrested separately and brought from Mumbai to Delhi on transit remand. He was subsequently produced before Chief Judicial Magistrate Mridul Gupta, who granted the Delhi Police an additional five days of custody for further questioning.
Police officials have alleged that the accused maintained links with the Dawood Ibrahim network and were involved in planning terror-related activities in multiple metropolitan centres, including the national Capital.
So far, the Delhi Police has arrested a total of nine individuals in connection with the alleged terror module. Of these, five accused are currently in police custody as agencies continue their investigation into what they describe as a Pakistan-sponsored network with links to organised crime and terrorism.
Further details are awaited.
