Red Fort Terror Plot: Doctor’s Phone Reveals Republic Day Conspiracy
In a startling discovery, investigative agencies have uncovered a potential terror plot targeting Delhi’s Red Fort on Republic Day (January 26). The breakthrough came after examining the phone of a Faridabad-based doctor, whose digital trail exposed alarming details of a planned attack.
Faridabad Doctor’s Phone: Key Evidence in Terror Probe
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Delhi Police’s Special Cell seized the phone of Dr. Arif Khan (name changed) during a routine cybercrime investigation. Forensic analysis revealed:
– Deleted messages hinting at a sleeper cell in the National Capital Region (NCR).
– Coordinates and images of Red Fort’s security layout.
– Encrypted chats with suspected extremists, including the message: “26th is the day. Prepare for the ultimate strike.”
Republic Day: A High-Risk Target for Terrorists
Republic Day, a symbol of India’s sovereignty, has been a prime target for extremist groups. The Red Fort, where the Prime Minister hoists the flag, is heavily guarded—yet Khan’s phone data suggests a serious security breach.
Intelligence agencies are probing:
– Khan’s travels to Jammu and Kashmir and alleged ties to overground workers (OGWs).
– Unexplained financial transactions, including cryptocurrency dealings.
Doctor’s Double Life: Medical Professional or Terror Facilitator?
While Khan’s patients and neighbors describe him as a soft-spoken doctor, investigators suspect he led a double life, using his profession to aid terror logistics. His family denies the allegations, claiming his phone was hacked.
NIA’s Response: Nationwide Security Alert
The NIA warns of a possible larger network, prompting:
– Increased drone surveillance around Delhi.
– Random checks at border areas.
– Coordination with neighboring states.
Political Reactions and Public Outrage
The revelation has sparked a political firestorm:
– Rahul Gandhi (Congress) questioned intelligence lapses.
– BJP leaders applauded agencies for thwarting the threat.
What’s Next in the Investigation?
Authorities are tracking Khan’s international contacts, particularly in Pakistan and Bangladesh, to uncover a wider terror nexus.
One question remains: Was this a credible threat, or is there more to the story?
