In a major counter-terrorism operation conducted amid ongoing Diwali celebrations, the Delhi Police Special Cell has successfully foiled a terror plot targeting high-footfall areas, including malls and public parks in the national capital.

The Special Cell arrested two suspected ISIS operatives — both identified as Adnan — who were allegedly planning to carry out attacks during the festive season. According to Additional Commissioner of Police (Special Cell) Pramod Kushwaha, the duo had been in contact with a foreign handler believed to be operating from the Syria-Turkey border.

Investigations revealed that the accused had conducted reconnaissance of several crowded locations, including a major mall in South Delhi, as part of their preparations for a potential strike around Diwali.
