The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has warned the Delhi Police of a possible terror attack by Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and other radical Jihadi groups ahead of India’s 75th Independence Day on August 15th. As per the reports, the IB submitted a 10-page report, in which it directed the Delhi Police to put in place strict entry rules at Red Fort ahead of Independence Day on August 15.
The IB report referred to incidents like the assassination of Japan’s former prime minister Shinzo Abe and the brutal killings of the Hindu tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur and Umesh Kohle in Amravati at the hands of radical Islamists and directed the Delhi Police to keep a watchful eye out for radical organisations and their activities in crowded locations.
The IB report mentioned how by providing Jaish and Lashkar terrorists with logistical support, the Pakistani ISI is encouraging terrorist attacks in India. The report also spoke about the instructions given to JeM and LeT to target powerful leaders and important places.
Prior to Independence Day, the IB has directed the Delhi Police and other states to keep an eye on extremist outfits. The ISI-founded Lashkar-e-Khalsa now includes Afghan fighters as members. This terrorist group is capable of conducting a significant terrorist strike in Jammu & Kashmir, read the report.
It also included recommendations for close monitoring of the Delhi neighbourhoods where Rohingya and Afghan Nationals and Sudanese nationals reside. Additionally, IB instructed the police to be on high alert in order to counter the threat posed by VVIED, sticky bombs, and Tiffin bombs. The report said that the terrorist groups LeT and JeM may carry out the attack using UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and paragliders and therefore, the BSF has been asked to remain vigilant.
