Delhi Pol ice has successfully dismantled a Pakistan handler–backed pan-India terror module that had been silently working to advance the cause of Khilafat. The group’s ultimate aim was to establish a Caliphate in India under the extremist vision of Gazwa-e-Hind. In a decisive move, police arrested the mastermind along with four of his associates and recovered a large cache of IED-making components, explosives, and ammunition material.

It is important to highlight that terror outfits often exploit the concept of Khilafat to mislead and lure impressionable youth. They portray it as a sacred religious duty and a path to honor, dignity, and justice. By misusing selective religious texts, circulating radical sermons, and amplifying extremist propaganda through online platforms, such groups glorify the idea of a global Islamic state. In reality, however, they conceal the violence, exploitation, and destruction behind their agenda, preying upon vulnerable young individuals struggling with anger, alienation, or identity crises.

In this case, Delhi Police’s Special Cell, in a coordinated operation with state police and anti-terror squads from Jharkhand, Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh, managed to break the network. Acting on specific intelligence, the agencies arrested five operatives during a series of raids conducted simultaneously in Delhi, Ranchi, Nizamabad, Thane, Bengaluru, and Rajgarh.
