Sharing details of the operation, the officer stated, “Preliminary investigation has revealed that the accused were associated with ISIS and were in the process of planning a major terror strike in Delhi. Electronic devices and incriminating materials have been seized from their possession.”

Currently, the suspects are being interrogated regarding their network and the details of their planned attack. “These arrests have prevented a potential terror attack in Delhi,” the officer added. Initial reports reveal that the two accused were arrested with arms and ammunition.

What material recovered?
