Intelligence agencies have issued a terror threat from Khalistani and Bangladeshi outfits for Republic Day, January 26. Haryana, Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have been put on high alert.

“Ahead of January 26, intelligence agencies have issued an alert warning that Khalistani terrorist organisations and Bangladesh-based terror outfits may attempt to target Delhi and several other cities across the country,” ANI reported, citing intelligence sources.

According to the intelligence alert, the ANI report said, Punjab-based gangsters are increasingly acting as foot soldiers for Khalistani and radical handlers operating from abroad. “These handlers are allegedly using criminal networks to further their agendas and disrupt internal security.”

“The alert states that these gangsters are active across Haryana, Delhi-NCR, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, and are gradually establishing links with Khalistani terrorist elements,” the intelligence sources said.
