In a major anti-terror operation, the police have seized around 300–360 kg of suspected explosive material and an AK-47 rifle with ammunition from a rented house in Faridabad, near Delhi. Officials say the timely action may have prevented a major terror attack in the National Capital Region.
How the Operation Happened?
A joint team of the Jammu & Kashmir Police and Haryana Police conducted the raid in the Dhauj area of Faridabad after receiving intelligence inputs. During the search, police discovered large quantities of chemical substances, believed to be ammonium nitrate, detonators, timers, and an AK-47 rifle.
Two suspects were taken into custody for questioning. Police sources said the arrested individuals might have links to terror groups operating from outside the state.
What Was Recovered:
300–360 kg of suspected explosives
- AK-47 rifle

- Detonators and electric timers
- Mobile phones and documents
- All the seized material has been sent to the forensic lab for chemical analysis to confirm its composition.
Police and Agency Response:
Senior officials said the recovery followed intelligence inputs from ongoing investigations into Delhi’s recent explosion cases. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) have joined the probe to trace the source and destination of the explosives.
