Based on ‘Intelligence sources’, four Jaish-e-Mohammed ‘terrorists’ have entered Delhi and are planning to strike during the festival season, in retaliation against the government's decision to end special status to Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370. All four are said to be heavily armed.
Jaish-e-Mohammed is alleged to be a Pakistan-based outfit, which allegedly sent a threat letter in Hindi, to Bureau of Civil Aviation Security dated 10 September.
According to NDTV, country has been in a state of high alert after intel warnings of a terror plan to target PM Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval. The home ministry put out an alert to all states following a threat naming 30 major cities.
An "orange alert", which is a notch lower than the highest state of emergency, is in place at important installations, was discussed at a meeting at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home this morning.
We are on alert and taking all anti-terrorism measures. We are working on all inputs. There is nothing to worry," said MS Randhawa, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Delhi).
Alert led to searches across Delhi, especially in its more crowded neighbourhoods, reported NDTV.
