FollowNew Delhi: Security personnel are on high alert in New Delhi as intelligence reports suggest a possible terror attack on January 26, Republic Day. According to reports, the Intelligence Bureau (IB) has given inputs to the Delhi Police about the possibility of a terrorist attack on Republic Day.
There are indications that some VIPs are on the radar of terrorists planning attacks on the occasion of Republic Day.
According to the IB’s input, the banned Khalistani organisation Sikh for Justice (SFJ) is in the process of carrying out a terrorist attack on Republic Day. The organisation is likely to attack India Gate and Red Fort by placing explosives in a car. According to the agency’s input, SFJ may repeat hoisting the religious flag at Red Fort like last year.
Explosives brought from Pakistan
Intelligence Bureau claimed that terrorists had brought explosives from Pakistan to India. The IED found in Ghazipur Mandi was part of the plan.
