Delhi police arrest eight in ISI-linkedarrest eight in ISI-linked attack plot
Delhi police arrested eight people in India on Saturday in a case tied to a network involving Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence and Mumbai’s criminal underworld.
Investigators said the group was planning attacks in Delhi and Mumbai, making the arrests part of a wider counterterrorism effort between two nuclear-armed rivals.
Indian Law Enforcement
Police describe the arrests as the result of intelligence-led work against a suspected module that was preparing attacks in major cities. They frame the case as part of efforts to stop coordinated plots before they can be carried out.
Pakistan-linked Network Allegation
The case is presented by Indian authorities as tied to Pakistan’s ISI and criminal actors in Mumbai. No separate response from Pakistan was included in the articles, so the allegation remains the Indian side’s account.
- Delhi was once the capital of the Mughal Empire before becoming the center of modern Indian government.
- Mumbai’s port made it a historic gateway for trade, migration, and criminal smuggling routes.
- India and Pakistan have both expanded internal security powers since the 2000s amid repeated militant threats.
