Officers from the Delhi Police Special Cell working on the investigation into the IEDs found in Seemapuri on Thursday and Ghazipur last month confirmed that a motorcycle was discovered parked in the Dilshad Garden metro station’s parking lot, near the four-story building in Old Seemapuri from which the IED was recovered and destroyed on Thursday, February 17th, 2022. Officials believe that the persons who reportedly put the improvised explosive device (IED) at the Ghazipur Flower Market on January 14 utilised this motorcycle, which was stolen in the year 2020.

According to police, the discovery has revealed a direct link between the two IEDs, and they are now looking into whether local support was given to a “Pakistan-backed terror outfit” that reportedly prepared terror attacks across Delhi.

IEDs found in Seemapuri and the Ghaziabad flower market have been linked by Delhi Police.

The Shahdara police searched the area soon after the IED was recovered from a locked room on the second floor of the Old Seemapuri building, which was left in a bag similar to the one found with an explosive device in Ghazipur, and it was then that they found an unclaimed motorbike parked in a lane near the building, according to a senior police officer.

“At the Ghazipur flower market, CCTV cameras filmed the identical motorcycle. Two suspects were seen riding the bike and carrying the IED backpack near the flower market’s gate number one. “The Shahdara police notified the special cell officers investigating the IED case and turned over the motorcycle to them for further investigation,” a senior officer who did not want to be identified said.

Meanwhile, Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana claimed on Friday that the found IEDs were made to carry out explosives in public places and that such planning and execution would be impossible without local help.

“We’re attempting to prevent any such occurrence in Delhi by exposing all local and foreign networks,” Asthana said, adding that the IEDs found in Ghazipur and Old Seemapuri appeared to be similar.

An IED comprising ammonium nitrate and RDX was discovered in a Seemapuri home.

On the evening of February 17, 2022, the Delhi police special cell and a bomb squad retrieved an improvised explosive device (IED) from the Seemapuri region of Delhi. The police had got a complaint about a suspicious bag near a house in the Seemapuri region in the afternoon, and teams had raced to the scene. The National Security Group (NSG) was also dispatched to investigate the contents of the bag.

This IED, discovered just days before the second anniversary of the Delhi riots against CAA on February 25, 2020, is linked to the 3 KG of IED discovered in the Ghazipur mandi region on January 17, 2022.

It could be brought back that the Delhi Police, which has been investigating the improvised explosive device (IED) found in the Ghazipur flower market on Friday, January 14, revealed on January 17 that the device was part of a 24-bomb shipment sent by Pakistan’s terror state to Pakistan-backed terrorist sleeper cells or criminal gangs. According to a Delhi police officer, the stash was delivered either by land or by sea.

These IEDs were transported across the border to Indian sleeper modules and criminal gangs, according to sources. This IED was discovered in conjunction with a terror cell related to Dawood Ibrahim, which was raided by Delhi Police in September 2021, with arrests made in Mumbai, Lucknow, Allahabad, and Delhi.
