Delhi Police arrest 4 people for alleged ISI-backed terror plot involving drone-delivered weapons in Delhi

Image for Delhi Police arrest 4 people for alleged ISI-backed terror plot involving drone-delivered weapons in Delhi

A drone hums low across the Punjab border at night.

It drops a package into a field.

Inside: a pistol, live cartridges, sometimes heroin.

A 23-year-old picks it up.

His handler sits in Pakistan, messaging him on a foreign SIM.

The target? VIP zones in Delhi.

This isn't a Netflix plot. It's what Delhi Police Special Cell just busted open.


🚨 Four arrests. One shadowy name.

Delhi Police say they've cracked a cross-border terror module allegedly run by Shahzad Bhatti — a Pakistan-based operative linked to the ISI.

Four men arrested across Punjab and Delhi.

Recovered in the raids:

  • 🔫 Two foreign-made pistols (including a Turkish Zigana)
  • 🎯 Nine live cartridges
  • 📱 Five mobile phones with encrypted chats

The plan, cops claim: open fire near VIP areas in Delhi in the coming months.


🧠 Who is Shahzad Bhatti?

Once a Pakistani social media influencer.

Now being called the ISI's newest recruitment weapon.

His playbook is chilling in its simplicity:

  • Scout unemployed youth in Punjab on Instagram and Snapchat
  • Radicalise them slowly
  • Hand them foreign SIMs so Indian agencies can't trace the chatter
  • Deliver weapons by drone across the border
  • Point them at Indian cities

He's the same name that keeps popping up next to the Baba Siddique murder conspiracy and the Lawrence Bishnoi ecosystem.


🕵️ How the module unravelled

It started with one arrest in Amritsar — Shubdeep Singh, 23, picked up on Majitha Road.

One pistol. Five cartridges. Two phones.

He allegedly sang.

That led to Gurjant Singh (22) and Sajan Singh (28) in Punjab.

Then Gaganpreet (24) in Delhi — the recon man.

His job, according to police: scope out police stations, pickets, and religious spots. Map the soft targets.


🌊 The bigger picture nobody's talking about

This isn't a one-off.

Just last year, the BSF's Punjab Frontier intercepted 251 Pakistani drones, along with 329 kg of heroin and 191 weapons.

The border isn't just a line anymore.

It's a delivery route.

And the couriers? Cheap Chinese drones. The recruits? Local kids with nothing to lose. The handlers? Sitting safely across the fence, swiping through Instagram for their next hire.


⚡ The uncomfortable truth

Guns can be seized. Modules can be busted.

But as long as unemployment and radicalisation keep feeding the pipeline in Punjab…

the drones will keep flying.

And Delhi Police will keep racing to catch the next one before it fires.

That's all for now!
