Delhi police commissioner B.S.
Delhi police commissioner B.S. Bassi on Monday said the national capital has always been on high alert but refrained from disclosing details about the presence of terrorists of any particular outfit unless they are arrested.
“People in Delhi must be aware that a terrorist can be living and operating from their next door... Terrorists can sneak into Delhi any day. Delhi has always been, it is and shall always be a target for terrorists,” Mr Bassi said at the annual conference of Delhi Police.
When asked specifically about the presence of two Jaish-e-Mohammad key members in Delhi and the reports surrounding the fact, Mr Bassi said: -"I will never share specific inputs about presence of terrorists from any particular outfit. I will share details only when we arrest any of them, otherwise not.”
“However, if people become alert following certain media reports, it is a totally acceptable situation for me,” the police commissioner said.
The police had arrested six alleged terrorists in 2015, which include operatives of al Qaeda in Indian sub-continent, Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Communist Party of India (Maoist) and NSCN (Khaplang), police records reveal.
