Delhi police put up posters of Al-Qaeda and Kahlistani terrorists

NEW DELHI: Ahead of the Independence Day celebrations in the national capital, the Delhi police have heightened the security arrangements and put up posters of various terrorists linked with terror organisation Al Qaeda and Khalistan.

The police have put up posters across the city and they have also encouraged people to assist them in catching the terrorists. The Delhi police said that those coming forward with any information regarding the terrorists will be rewarded “suitably”. The names of informants will, however, be concealed.

Police said that the security measures are taken to raise awareness among the people and help police track the terrorists. Sub-inspector Komal Shakya, who is an officer in charge of the Khan Market all-women police booth, said that this is being done to create awareness among the citizens. According to the police, there are fifteen terrorists mentioned in the posters, out of whom six are associated with Al-Qaeda.

To ensure the nation’s security, ahead of Independence Day, Punjab police have also taken heightened security measures by carrying out spot searches at all the bus stands across the state, earlier on Tuesday.
