Pakistan-ISI terror suspects: 4 to face Delhi court as custody ends
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Four terror suspects allegedly linked to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and the Mumbai underworld are set to be produced before Delhi's Patiala House Court on Saturday, 7 June 2025, following the expiry of their seven-day police remand. The accused — Harvinder Singh, Manjeet Singh, Gagandeep Singh, and Ang Kami Lama — were first brought before the court on 30 May, when they were remanded to Delhi Police Special Cell custody for interrogation into an alleged Pakistan-backed terror module.
Who Are the Accused
All four were arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell in connection with an alleged ISI-directed terror network that investigators claim maintained operational links with Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company. According to police, the accused were allegedly receiving instructions from ISI operatives and handlers based in Pakistan. A fifth accused, Huzaifa Ahmed Hashmi, was separately arrested in Mumbai and brought to Delhi on transit remand; he was subsequently produced before Chief Judicial Magistrate Mridul Gupta, who granted police an additional five days of custody for further questioning.
Arms Cache and Alleged Reconnaissance
During coordinated operations across Delhi and several northern states, investigators recovered a substantial cache of weapons, including Pakistan-manufactured hand grenades, Glock pistols, and a large number of live cartridges. According to the investigation so far, the module had allegedly conducted reconnaissance of sensitive locations — government installations, security establishments, and crowded religious sites — in Delhi, Mumbai, and multiple locations in Punjab. Investigators allege the group was gathering intelligence and identifying potential targets as part of a wider conspiracy.
Scale of the Crackdown
The Delhi Police has so far arrested a total of nine individuals in connection with the alleged terror module. Of these, five accused remain in police custody as agencies continue their probe into what authorities describe as a Pakistan-sponsored network with links to both organised crime and terrorism. This comes amid heightened security across India's major metropolitan centres following a series of cross-border threat assessments in recent months.
What Happens Next
With Saturday's court production, the Patiala House Court is expected to decide on further remand or judicial custody for the four accused. The investigation remains active, and further arrests or disclosures cannot be ruled out as the Special Cell continues to map the alleged network's full operational scope.
