Security agencies have issued a high alert in central Delhi following inputs of a possible terror threat near the Red Fort area. According to sources, Chandni Chowk, including a prominent temple in the locality, could be targeted. Intelligence inputs suggest that the Pakistan-based terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba is planning an IED attack. The alert comes amid concerns that the terror group may attempt a major strike in India.
The threat is reportedly linked to an explosion that took place at a mosque in Islamabad, Pakistan, on February 6, which left 31 people dead and more than 100 injured in the Pakistani capital. Sources indicate that the outfit could be seeking retaliation and is exploring the possibility of orchestrating a large-scale terror incident in the national capital.
Security has been tightened around key religious sites and other sensitive locations across the national capital. Agencies are maintaining heightened surveillance, particularly around major temples and crowded markets, amid fears that prominent religious places could be on the radar of Lashkar-e-Taiba.
