Delhi Police arrested seven suspects, according to *The Hindu*, and later five more individuals linked to a Pakistan‑ISI‑backed terror module, Tehreek‑e‑Taliban Hindustan (TTH), as reported by *Times of India*. The arrested suspects were from Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, *The Hindu* added. Police said the network was functioning under the patronage of Pakistan’s ISI and was using Indians to further terror activities, *The Hindu* reported. The arrests were described as part of a wider crackdown on a trans‑border network allegedly involved in targeting police, spreading propaganda, and facilitating weapon and drug smuggling from Pakistan, *Times of India* noted.

Multiple sources confirmed that the terror network was linked to Pakistan’s ISI.

Separately, operatives of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in India and abroad are using detailed information available online on various government portals to identify wealthy targets for money extortion, *New Indian Express* reported. Information from portals such as GST and the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA), including project details, promoters and business turnover, is extracted to identify targets, the outlet added. Gang members are also scanning social‑media pages of prospective targets to gather additional information, *New Indian Express* said. A senior police officer stated that the detailed information helps gang members to create more fear in the minds of the targets, as the targets feel the callers have access to their inner circles and information, *New Indian Express* quoted.
