The Delhi Special Cell has arrested a suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative from Delhi’s Ghazipur area, officials said on Monday (March 30, 2026). According to police, the arrest of Shabir Ahmed Lone came after they learned about his association with “anti-India” posters at several Delhi Metro stations on February 22.
Describing Lone as a “tough and highly trained terrorist”, officials said he had allegedly established links with handlers operating on behalf of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). “Lone, also known as Raja and Kashmiri, is a resident of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir and was allegedly working as a handler of the recently busted module involved in pasting anti-national posters at multiple locations in Delhi and Kolkata,” said a senior police officer.
