The Jammu & Kashmir Police, along with the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Faridabad Police, stopped a major terror plan by finding a huge amount of explosives and weapons in Faridabad.
The police recovered around 350 kg of explosive material, an AK-47 rifle, 84 bullets, and many items used to make bombs from a rented house in Dhauj village, Faridabad.
The house was taken on rent by Dr. Mujahil Shakil, a medical student from Jammu & Kashmir who was studying at Al Falah Medical College. He had rented the place about three months ago.
The operation happened after police questioned some suspects already arrested in Jammu & Kashmir. Based on the information received, they brought Dr. Shakil to Faridabad on Sunday to show where the materials were hidden.
Police found:
14 bags of ammonium nitrate (about 100 kg)
An AK-47
84 live cartridges
Timers
5 litres of chemical solution
A total of 48 items used for making IEDs (bombs)
Earlier reports said RDX was found, but police clarified that it was not RDX, but ammonium nitrate, which is also used for making bombs.
Another person, Dr. Adil Ahmad Rather, linked to the same terror network, had already been arrested earlier. Police believe both were part of a larger group with possible links across the border, planning big attacks in northern India.
Officials said this recovery is a major success and may have prevented a large and dangerous attack. All seized materials have been sent for forensic tests. Agencies like the NIA are expected to join the investigation
