Delhi terror attack: Haryana on high alert, combing operations on

Haryana is on high alert with continuous combing operations following the Delhi car blast that killed 12. Diaries of the accused revealed plans for coordinated explosions and names of suspects, leading to multiple arrests by Delhi police.

Haryana on High Alert, Combing Operations Underway

Haryana Home Secretary Sumita Mishra on Saturday said that the continuous combing operations are going on in the state following the Delhi terror attack.

Haryana was immediately put on high alert after the car blast near Red Fort Metro Station in Delhi, in which 12 people were killed and dozens of others were injured.

"The law is such that not everything can be disclosed. But, there is a high alert, and continuous combing operations are going on. And they will continue," she said.

Investigation Uncovers Wider Plot

Earlier, Security agencies have recovered the diaries of Delhi blast case accused Dr Umar and Dr Muzammil, which mentioned the dates November 8 to 12, indicating that the planning was underway for such an incident during that period, sources said.

According to the sources, the diary also contained the names of approximately 25 individuals, most of whom hailed from Jammu and Kashmir and Faridabad.

Arrests Made in Connection with Blast

Delhi police have already arrested Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Muzamil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Saeed in connection with the Delhi blast case, as they had an alleged link to past terror cases.

Dr Umar, who was driving the car that exploded near the historic Red Fort, used to live in Al-Falah Medical College.

Coordinated Attacks Planned

Investigation agencies on Thursday informed that around eight suspects were allegedly preparing to execute coordinated explosions at four locations, with each pair assigned to a specific target city.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the accused groups had intended to move in pairs, each carrying multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) for simultaneous attacks.

University Distances Itself from Accused

However, Al-Falah University has distanced itself from Dr Umar and Dr Muzammil, stating that the University has no connection with the accused beyond their official capacities, and that no questionable chemical or material is being used or stored on the University premises.
