Indian security agencies intercepted a plot to bury explosives in a Faridabad village, averting a potential attack linked to a planned blast in Jammu & Kashmir.
Indian security forces uncovered a scheme to conceal explosives in a village near Faridabad before a planned blast in Jammu & Kashmir could take place. The plot, which involved burying a large quantity of high‑yield explosives, was reportedly intended to be detonated during a public gathering in the Kashmir region.
Intelligence units received a tip that a group of militants had earmarked a rural site in Faridabad for the burial of the devices. Surveillance and covert operations were launched to confirm the presence of the explosives and to assess the risk.
On the day of the planned operation, a joint team of the National Security Guard and local police raided the site. They discovered a shallow pit containing several bags of explosives, which were immediately secured and handed over to the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) squad for safe disposal.
The successful interception is being hailed as a major preventive measure that averted a potential terrorist attack in Jammu & Kashmir. Officials have not yet released details about the identities of those involved in the plot.
