Delhi Police on Saturday, 21 February 2026, arrested six Bangladeshi nationals residing in Tiruppur for allegedly posting content on social media in support of a Pakistan-based terrorist organisation.
The action follows an ongoing investigation into online posts backing terrorists involved in the Red Fort blast incident. During digital surveillance, Delhi Police reportedly identified several individuals living in Tiruppur who had shared posts supporting banned terror groups.
Acting on the intelligence, a Delhi Police team arrived in Tiruppur and conducted inquiries at multiple locations. The suspects were found hiding in Uthukuli, Palladam and Thirumuruganpoondi areas.
Police arrested two persons from Uthukuli, three from Palladam and one from Thirumuruganpoondi, taking the total number of Bangladeshi nationals held to six.
Preliminary information indicates that the accused not only posted supportive content for Pakistan-based terrorist organisations on social media but are also suspected of conducting reconnaissance and passing information to terrorist handlers. Officials said the angle is under investigation.
Authorities further stated that the six individuals had allegedly entered India illegally using forged documents.
During the operation, police seized eight mobile phones and sixteen SIM cards from the accused. Further interrogation is underway in connection with the Red Fort blast case, police said.
