The car explosion near New Delhi’s Red Fort on 11th November shocked the entire country. The blast killed 10 people and left more than 30 injured.

Such Islamic terror strikes deep inside Indian cities were unfortunately common during the UPA years, but after Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014, these incidents became extremely rare. That is why this sudden attack created fear, anger, and confusion across the nation.

Before security and intelligence agencies could even identify whether it was a terror strike or an accidental CNG cylinder blast, social media was already filled with accusations. Claims of “intelligence failure” and “Modi’s failure” appeared instantly. Some even went to the extreme of alleging that “PM Modi orchestrated the attack to gain political clout to win the Bihar elections”. These claims began trending even before any official facts were released.

On one side, opposition parties loudly declared a “systemic failure”, and their supporters amplified the propaganda line pushed by Pakistan’s ISPR that this was a “false flag operation.” On the other side, nationalist voices strongly defended India’s security agencies and reminded people of the famous dialogue from the series The Family Man:
“We have to win every time; they [terrorists] only have to win once.”

But behind all this noise, India’s intelligence and law-enforcement agencies have been working quietly and relentlessly. In just the last 30 days, they have busted 9 terror modules, arrested over 40 Islamic Jihadis, and recovered 2,900 kilograms of explosives along with a massive stockpile of sophisticated weapons. These seizures indicate something far more dangerous than a routine terror attempt. The volume of explosives suggests that Islamic terror groups were preparing for a major, coordinated attack, possibly timed for an important national date, with the clear intention to kill hundreds or even thousands of innocent Indians.

These modules were connected to international terror groups such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Jaish-e-Mohammed, and various Pakistan-backed networks run by the ISI. Despite political noise and misinformation, India’s security agencies managed to quietly foil what could have been a catastrophic series of attacks across the country.

9th October: Babbar Khalsa terror module busted in Punjab, two arrested, and RDX recovered

On 9th October, the Punjab Police announced a major breakthrough. They busted a Pakistan-supported ISIS-linked terror module belonging to the Khalistani organisation Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). Two individuals—Gurjinder Singh and Diwan Singh—were arrested from Jalandhar, and police recovered an improvised explosive device (IED) packed with RDX along with a remote-control unit. Both men were booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Explosive Substances Act.

During the media briefing, senior police officials explained that the seized RDX was meant for a targeted terror attack. The Director General of Police stated:
“In a major breakthrough against Pakistan’s ISI-backed terror network, the Counter Intelligence, Jalandhar, busts a Babbar Khalsa International terror module operated by UK-based handlers Nishan Jaurian and Adesh Jamarai on the directions of BKI mastermind Harwinder Singh Rinda and recovers 2.5 kg IED/RDX and one remote control.”

This module had a clear link to Pakistan’s ISI and overseas handlers, showing how Khalistani groups continue to work with global terror networks.

15th October: Punjab Police dismantled a cross-border arms-narcotics smuggling network

On 15th October 2025, Punjab Police busted another cross-border module connected to Pakistan. This time, the unit was involved in both arms and narcotics smuggling. Three men—Rajan alias Sagar, Surinder Singh alias Pali, and Jagjit Singh—were arrested. Police seized 10 advanced pistols and 500 grams of opium from them.

Among the weapons were four 9MM Glock pistols and six .30 bore pistols, revealing access to high-grade foreign-supplied arms. Investigators found that the trio operated an inter-district smuggling gang and maintained direct communication with a Pakistan-based handler.

In addition to this, data from the BSF revealed a stunning detail: since January 2024, almost 350 drug smugglers had been arrested along the Punjab border—amounting to one arrest every alternate day. Most arrests took place in Amritsar, Tarn Taran, and Ferozepur—areas notorious for drone-based smuggling activities from Pakistan.

Back in 2021, the Central Government extended the BSF’s operational jurisdiction from 15 km to 50 km from the border, a move heavily opposed by parties like Congress and TMC. However, officials have clarified that most arrests still occur within the traditional 15 km zone, proving the necessity of the expansion.

17th October: Andhra Pradesh Police arrested two Pakistan-linked Jaish-e-Mohammed Jihadis

On 17th October, Andhra Pradesh Police arrested two active jihadis associated with Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). The arrested men—Sajjad Hussain from Uttar Pradesh and Taufiq Alam Shaik from Maharashtra—were in touch with Kotwal Noor Mohammed, a hotel cook in Sri Sathya Sai district who was secretly an active JeM operative. Noor Mohammed had already been arrested earlier by Dharmavaram Police for trying to lure young Muslim men into joining JeM and committing terror activities.

After Sajjad and Taufiq were caught, police recovered a single-barrel gun and Islamic Jihadi literature. Investigations revealed that both men were part of multiple WhatsApp groups and online channels run by JeM. They had direct links with Talha Bhai, the brother of Moulana Masood Azhar, who is JeM’s chief. Pakistani terrorist Talha was heavily involved in brainwashing Indian Muslim youth to wage jihad against India.

24th October: Delhi Police busted an ISIS module planning ‘Jihad against Kafirs’

On 24th October 2025, the Delhi Police Special Cell succeeded in busting an ISIS module preparing for a terror attack in India. Two men—Mohammad Adnan Khan alias Abu Muharib from Delhi (age 19) and Adnan Khan alias Abu Mohammad from Madhya Pradesh (age 20)—were arrested.

Police stated:
“One of the suspects from Bhopal had previously been arrested by UP ATS under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act; after obtaining bail in 2024, he resumed terrorist-related activity, chiefly through online recruitment and propaganda dissemination. Surveillance established that the module had begun procuring materials for improvised explosive devices (IEDs).”

Mohammad had indeed been arrested earlier under UAPA, but the court granted him bail in 2024. As soon as he was released, he went back to working for ISIS—spreading propaganda, recruiting young men through social media, and beginning preparations for IED-based attacks.

Furthermore, Mohammad Adnan had threatened a judge associated with the Gyanvapi case. On Instagram, he posted:
“THE KAFIRS BLOOD IS HALAL FOR YOU THOSE WHO FIGHT AGAINST YOUR DEEN.”
In the image, the word “KAFIR” appeared in red above the judge’s eyes—a clear sign of radical intent.

27th October: UAPA arrest of Zubair over terror links, Al-Qaeda material, videos and more

On 27th October, the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested a 35-year-old IT professional from Pune for suspected terror links. The accused, identified as Zubair Hangargekar, lived in the Kondhwa area of Pune and was taken into custody after investigators found he possessed literature connected to the global terror group al-Qaida. Shortly after the arrest, one of Zubair’s friends was also detained at the Pune railway station for questioning, as both had returned from Chennai after attending a function.

An FIR was registered against Zubair under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). According to ATS sources, this action followed an earlier operation on 9th October, when the squad conducted raids across the homes and offices of 19 individuals—including Zubair—based on intelligence collected during the Satara robbery and terror-funding case. These raids led to the seizure of numerous electronic devices such as laptops, hard drives, mobile phones, along with multiple documents and books that were taken in for forensic scrutiny.

During the wide-scale searches on 9th October, ATS officials additionally seized 40 mobile phones apart from the 19 laptops, giving investigators a large trail of digital evidence to examine. The case has since expanded as officials trace each communication, device, and link tied to Zubair.

7th November: Rajasthan ATS detained TTP-linked Maulvi Umar Osama

On 7th November, the Rajasthan Anti-Terrorism Squad arrested a cleric named Umar Osama from Sanchore in Jalore district. Investigations confirmed that Osama maintained direct links with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an Afghanistan-based Islamic terror organisation known for its involvement in cross-border extremist activities. The ATS revealed that Osama had been in contact with senior TTP commanders for nearly four years, during which he was actively involved in recruiting and radicalising Muslim youth, especially in the region close to the Gujarat–Rajasthan border.

Osama reportedly used encrypted communication apps to coordinate with foreign handlers. During interrogation, officials discovered he had already influenced four young men and guided them into jihadi activity. The cleric was planning to escape to Afghanistan through Dubai, but the Rajasthan ATS intercepted him in time. An interesting detail that emerged from the investigation was Osama’s family background—his great-grandfather Vali Mohammed had served as a Congress MLA from Barmer.

9th November: Gujarat ATS foiled Ricin bioterror attempt, arrested ISKP-linked doctors

On 9th November 2025, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad arrested three individuals, including Dr. Ahmed Mohiyuddin Saiyed from Telangana, after uncovering a plot to manufacture Ricin, a highly toxic substance banned internationally and classified as a major bioterror weapon. These men were linked to the ISIS-affiliate organisation Islamic State of Khorasan Province (ISKP). The ATS recovered 4 kg of castor-bean mash and several other materials required to produce Ricin.

According to investigators, Dr Saiyed, aged 35, held a medical degree from China and was acting under the instructions of an Afghanistan-based handler named Abu Khadija, who is associated with ISKP. Saiyed was also in touch with several individuals in Pakistan. During interrogation, he confessed he had been preparing to produce Ricin—also commonly referred to as “Ryzin”—and had gathered research material, chemicals, equipment, and all raw ingredients required for its creation.

ATS officials apprehended Saiyed during a raid near the Adalaj Toll Plaza on the Ahmedabad-Mehsana Road after receiving confidential inputs. He was travelling in a silver Ford Figo, inside which officers found two Glock pistols, one Beretta pistol, 30 live cartridges, and around 4 litres of castor oil stored in a plastic container.

Data recovered from Saiyed’s electronic devices led investigators to two more individuals:
– Azad Suleman Sheikh, 20, a tailor from Shamli, Uttar Pradesh
– Mohammad Suhail Mohammad Saleem Khan, 23, a student from Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh

Both supported Saiyed in acquiring weapons and had collaborated with him in Banaskantha, Gujarat.

Authorities later confirmed that the weapons recovered from the accused were supplied from Hanumangarh in Rajasthan, with arms consignments being delivered via Pakistani drones entering Indian territory. Investigators also repeated Saiyed’s confession that his handler, Abu Khadija, was a key ISKP figure in Afghanistan.

The arrested jihadis had also conducted reconnaissance activities over the last six months at several major locations: the RSS office in Lucknow, the Agriculture Produce Market Committee in Azadpur, Delhi, and the fruit market in Naroda, Ahmedabad.

10th November: J&K Police uncovered 2,900 kg explosives from Faridabad hideouts

On 10th November, Jammu & Kashmir Police uncovered a major terror network involving doctors, clerics, and educated professionals working covertly for Pakistan-backed organisations Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGH). Investigators described it as a “white-collar terror network”. Nearly 2,900 kilograms of explosive material were recovered from two houses in Faridabad, located just 45 km from Delhi.

The key accused included Dr. Muzammil Shakil, a 35-year-old physician from Pulwama, and Dr. Adeel Ahmad Rather from Kulgam. Both were allegedly receiving instructions from handlers in Kashmir and Pakistan and were waiting for final orders to execute a major attack in the Delhi-NCR region. Officials noted that handlers believed doctors were ideal operatives because “no one would suspect well-educated professionals in white coats.”

The raids on Dr Muzammil’s rented houses in Dhauj and Fatehpur Taga left the investigation teams stunned. From the Dhauj residence, police recovered over 350 kg of explosives, 20 timers, several assault rifles, handguns, and a large amount of ammunition. At the Fatehpur Taga house, officials discovered 2,563 kilograms of ammonium nitrate, a substance widely used in large-scale bombings.

Altogether, authorities seized nearly 2,900 kg of explosive material, including electronic circuits, wires, batteries, and metal sheets—enough to assemble multiple high-powered IEDs. The weapons recovered included a Beretta pistol, a Chinese Star handgun, an AK-56 rifle, and an AK Krinkov rifle.

This discovery came just hours before the car-blast attack near Delhi’s Red Fort. According to reports, the driver of the explosives-laden car, Dr Umar Nabi, panicked due to the earlier arrests and attempted to evade surveillance. In the process, he caused the blast that killed himself and 13 innocent civilians. Investigators found that he had driven continuously for 16 hours after the Faridabad module was busted.

Faridabad’s Al-Falah University soon came under the scanner after several arrested doctors were found to be associated with it. While the university denied direct involvement, security agencies launched a full investigation. Earlier reports by OpIndia revealed that the university’s Chancellor, Jawad Ahmad Siddiqui, had previously been jailed in Tihar along with his brothers for defrauding investors in Al-Falah Investment Limited.

12th November: NIA launched multi-state raids in Al-Qaeda Gujarat plot linked to illegal infiltrators

On 12th November, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) carried out coordinated raids at 10 locations across five states in connection with the 2023 Al-Qaida Gujarat terror conspiracy, which involved illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. In its press note, the NIA stated that searches were conducted at premises linked to several suspects and their associates in West Bengal, Tripura, Meghalaya, Haryana, and Gujarat. The teams seized multiple digital devices and incriminating documents, all of which were sent for forensic examination.

The NIA identified four Bangladeshi nationals—Mohammad Sojibmiyan, Munna Khalid Ansari alias Munna Khan, Azarul Islam alias Jahangir alias Aakash Khan, and Abdul Latif alias Mominul Ansari—who had illegally entered India using fake Indian IDs. These individuals were associated with the banned Al-Qaida organisation and were reportedly transferring funds to its operatives in Bangladesh. The agency also found evidence that the group was actively brainwashing Muslim youth inside India.

30 days, many terror modules unraveled, terrorists caught: Agencies continue the constant war on extremism

In just the past 30 days, India’s security and intelligence agencies have dismantled several terror modules and arrested jihadists preparing to spill the blood of Kafirs in a Hindu-majority nation. Along with Islamic terror networks, agencies have also taken down ISI-supported Khalistani groups. Altogether, in this one-month period, agencies arrested over 40 terrorists, recovered explosives and weapons capable of destroying multiple cities, and disrupted terror-funding chains worth crores.

Yet, at the same time, people from the same political ecosystem that once blocked any strong military action against Pakistan after the 26/11 attacks continue to label the current government “weak” and cry about “intelligence failure”. The Islamo-leftist lobby echoes Pakistan’s false-flag narrative, linking the Delhi blast to Bihar elections, while many others try to portray “Islamophobia” as a bigger problem than jihadi terrorism itself.

Meanwhile, the NIA, state ATS teams, and local police forces continue to take down online radicalisation rings, explosive-gathering networks, and even bioterror plans run by so-called “doctors.” They are fighting an asymmetric war that spans the physical world, the digital world, and the ideological space—and they are largely winning it.

While the Red Fort car blast deserved the national attention it received, the many terror conspiracies silently thwarted by security agencies equally deserve recognition. The attack that killed innocent people in Delhi will undoubtedly be avenged. But one tragic incident should not overshadow the many unseen victories won by our security forces every single day.
