Turkiye Handler ‘Ukasa’ Masterminded Delhi Terror Plot
In a major breakthrough, Indian investigators have exposed a well-organized terror module in Delhi, controlled by a handler in Turkiye operating under the codename ‘Ukasa’. The foiled plot highlights cross-border terrorism risks, with the bomber’s 2022 foreign trip emerging as the critical turning point in his radicalization.
How the Delhi Terror Module Was Uncovered
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) uncovered that the terror cell was in the final stages of planning a high-profile attack in Delhi. The group, consisting of locally radicalized individuals skilled in bomb-making, was allegedly taking orders from ‘Ukasa’, a Pakistan-backed operative based in Turkiye.
A key arrest led investigators to the bomber’s 2022 visit to Central Asia, initially deemed harmless. Interrogations revealed it was a training camp where he learned explosives assembly—transforming him into a potential attacker.
Who Is ‘Ukasa’? The Turkiye Terror Link
Intelligence agencies are racing to identify ‘Ukasa’, suspected to be a senior member of a Pakistan-based terror group using Turkiye as a base. The handler allegedly used encrypted apps to guide the Delhi cell, providing funds and attack plans.
Turkiye’s role in facilitating anti-India terror activities has raised alarms. Reports suggest some Turkish elements aid operatives and financing, complicating India’s counterterrorism efforts and requiring urgent diplomatic action.
2022 Trip: The Radicalization Turning Point
The bomber’s 2022 journey, framed as a “religious study” trip, was actually a cover for terror training. Investigators found he attended a fake madrasa doubling as a training camp, learning bomb-making before returning to recruit others and gather materials.
Authorities initially missed red flags due to his clean record, but digital forensics later exposed encrypted messages and suspicious transactions.
Security Agencies Crack Down on Sleeper Cells
With the module busted, NIA raids are underway to capture remaining members. Agencies are probing possible links to other sleeper cells activated recently across India.
The case has sparked debates over counter-radicalization programs and the need for stricter foreign travel monitoring for suspected extremists.
Diplomatic Fallout: India-Turkiye Tensions Rise
The revelation of a Turkiye-based handler may strain relations, with India expected to demand Ankara act against terror operatives on its soil. Intelligence-sharing with Central Asian nations is also being boosted to prevent future radicalization.
Conclusion: A Warning for India’s Security
The ‘Ukasa’ case reveals how terror handlers exploit global bases to radicalize locals. The bomber’s 2022 trip shows how seemingly innocent travel can mask deadly agendas. While Delhi is safer for now, the hunt for ‘Ukasa’ continues.
