New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Sunday said that it has found a range of explosives from the home in Uttar Pradesh of alleged ISIS operative Abu Yusuf, who was arrested late Friday night by the Delhi Police Special Cell after a shootout in the capital’s Dhaula Kuan area.“He was planning to plant the two recovered IEDs in a high footfall area of Delhi. After that, he was to receive instructions from his handler to carry out a fidayeen attack”, the officer said further.
Notably, the Special Cell team had arrived in the village last night with Yusuf, whose real name is Mohammed Mushtaqeem Khan. As per initial reports, he was planning a ‘lone wolf’ attack in the national capital.
On Saturday, DCP Kushwaha had said that Yusuf had planned to carry out the attack around August 15, on the occasion of Independence Day, adding that he was unsuccessful in doing so due to the tight security arrangements in place.
