‘Free Kashmir’ Poster Plot Exposed: 8 Terror Suspects Nabbed from Delhi & Kolkata

New Delhi, February 22, 2026
Delhi Police Special Cell and central agencies busted a major international terror conspiracy, arresting 8 suspects linked to provocative ‘Free Kashmir’ posters in Delhi and Kolkata. Raids uncovered recce photos and foreign funding trails.

Arrest Locations

West Bengal: 2 nabbed from Malda district.
Tamil Nadu: 6 caught in Tiruppur garment factories (Uthukuli, Palladam, Thirumuruganpoondi) based on Malda leads.

Key Finds

Fake Aadhaar cards, mobile phones with encrypted chats to foreign handlers, recce images of Delhi/Kolkata metro stations and crowded public spots signaling big attack plans. First funding tranche received; more expected.

ISI & Bangladesh Links

Most accused (Mizanur Rahman, Mohammad Shabat, etc.) are Bangladeshi nationals using bogus IDs. Pakistan-based Kashmiri handler directs via ISI; aimed to spark unrest, communal discord via posters.

All 8 brought to Delhi for deeper probe to uncover local sleeper cells. Security forces hail it as major ‘Bleed India’ plot disruption.
