From Gwalior To Delhi Shrines: How Four-Month Special Cell Track Decimated Bhatti-Gujjar Terror Apparatus | Exclusive Reported By, Last Updated: July 02, 2026, 17:30 IST Delhi Police Special Cell has arrested 4 key handlers tasked with launching immediate terror strikes on major religious sites and security establishments in the capital The arrested module admitted to successfully receiving heavy consignments of sophisticated weapons and narcotics dropped via cross-border Pakistani drones. Image/ANI In a swift and clinically executed multi-state sweep, the Delhi Police Special Cell has intercepted and neutralised an active Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) operational frontline, arresting four key handlers tasked with launching immediate terror strikes on major religious sites and security establishments across the national capital. Operating directly from the hyper-sensitive border terrains of Tarn Taran and Amritsar, the operatives—identified as Shubdeep Singh, Gurjant Singh, Sajan Singh, and Gaganpreet—were captured with foreign-made pistols and a substantial cache of live ammunition. High-Risk Blueprints and Crowded Targets Exposed Interrogations have laid bare a highly dangerous plot. The arrested module admitted to successfully receiving heavy consignments of sophisticated weapons and narcotics dropped via cross-border Pakistani drones. Acting under explicit directives from their handlers, the group had already initiated detailed reconnaissance of sensitive crowded locations, security infrastructures, and prominent shrines in Delhi to execute targeted firing incidents.

The subsequent recovery of highly encrypted operational blueprints, active financial logs, and direct voice notes detailing these installations points to the true, calculated nature of the joint ISI-Bhatti apparatus. Investigators note that the syndicate’s strategy relies heavily on weaponising localised, low-level criminal networks to engineer high-impact national security threats, utilising lucrative cross-border drug profits to completely self-fund their operations. The ultimate objective remains a deliberate attempt to exploit communal fault lines and systematically destabilise peace across Punjab and the wider capital region. The Evolution of a Multi-Stage Crackdown The breakthrough marks a massive operational follow-up to the Special Cell’s decisive crackdown on June 16, which saw the arrest of seven high-level operatives belonging to the joint Shahzad Bhatti-Ajmal Gujjar terror-crime syndicate. That earlier phase successfully dismantled a deep-penetration cell featuring local criminals from western Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, including prominent operatives Mohit alias Yogi and Anas Tyagi. During that raid, security forces recovered sophisticated Zigana semi-automatic pistols and intercepted incriminating voice notes coming directly from Bhatti, exposing an operational nexus that extended all the way to jailed Indian gangster Deepak Agrola. Shifting Trajectories: The New Recruitment Blueprint Intelligence agencies have highlighted a deeply troubling shift in Bhatti’s recruitment paradigm during recent sweeps.
