Delhi Police bust ISI-linked spy network, 11 arrested

The Special Cell of the Delhi Police on Friday busted a major spying network allegedly run by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), which is listed as a terrorist organisation by the Ministry of Home Affairs. Eleven people linked to the network have been arrested. The crackdown was carried out across several locations in Delhi and Punjab. Officials said the suspects had been installing cameras across the country as part of their operations. The accused were in direct contact with handlers based in Pakistan through encrypted messaging apps. They were allegedly receiving instructions to carry out spying and other activities that could threaten national security. According to additional commissioner of police (special cell) Pramod Kushwaha, the group had deployed CCTV cameras at various sites across Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan to track high-security zones.

The Special Cell’s crackdown comes after weeks of technical surveillance and human intelligence gathering. Authorities believe the 10 arrested suspects served as the local backbone for the network, facilitating logistics and mapping out vulnerabilities in the city’s infrastructure.
