NEW DELHI: More than a year after the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI allegedly plotted attacks on a historic temple in Delhi, a popular dhaba on the Delhi-Sonipat highway and a military camp in Haryana through operatives linked to the Shahzad Bhatti module, sources said on Friday.The alleged conspiracy surfaced during the interrogation of nine suspected operatives of the module, arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell under its ‘Gang Bust Operation 2.0’ from multiple states.According to news agency PTI sources, investigators found that one of the accused had conducted reconnaissance of a historic temple in Delhi and shared photographs of the premises with Pakistan-based handlers through social media platforms.The module had allegedly planned to target police and paramilitary personnel deployed at the temple and open fire to trigger panic and disruption, a source said.The source further said the accused were also assigned the task of carrying out a grenade attack at a popular dhaba on the Delhi-Sonipat highway, frequented daily by thousands of people, with the intention of causing large-scale damage and casualties.“A military camp in Hisar was also allegedly surveyed and videos of the area were shared with handlers across the border. Some police stations in Uttar Pradesh were also on the target list,” the source added.
