The investigation into a recent car blast near Delhi’s Red Fort has taken a critical turn with the revelation that 300 kilograms of ammonium nitrate remain missing. This significant quantity is part of an estimated 3,200 kg of explosives that were allegedly smuggled into India through border crossings in Bangladesh and Nepal. Security agencies are on high alert as they scramble to recover the potent substance.
During the course of the Faridabad terror module investigation, approximately 2,900 kg of ammonium nitrate has been seized from various hideouts. However, the remaining 300 kg is a major concern for national security. Officials have stated that the situation is not yet safe, and extensive nationwide searches are being conducted to locate any hidden caches of the explosive material.
Sources indicate that the ammonium nitrate consignment entered India through clandestine routes involving Bangladesh and Nepal. The arrested terrorists are believed to have acquired the material from a fertilizer company before transporting it across the borders. The discovery of this smuggling network has led to intensified surveillance and alerts across the country.
Preliminary findings suggest a well-coordinated terror plot with aspirations to strike sensitive locations, including religious sites in Ayodhya and Varanasi, as well as prominent landmarks in Delhi. The module reportedly planned to deploy over 200 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to create widespread disruption and fear. Investigations are ongoing to track down all individuals involved and prevent any further terrorist actions.
