On Friday, the Special Task Force (STF) in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India, arrested Vikrant Kashyap, a 29-year-old man, for his alleged connections to Shahzad Bhatti, a Pakistani terrorist affiliated with the Al Barq Brigade. Kashyap is accused of sharing information about key government and military infrastructure in Dehradun, which he was allegedly filming for potential attacks. He reportedly communicated with Bhatti through Instagram and WhatsApp, influenced by the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, which fueled his desire for revenge. The STF recovered a .32 bore pistol, seven live cartridges, and spray paint used to mark locations with the TTH insignia. Kashyap was instructed to record videos of significant sites, including police stations and government buildings, and was promised financial rewards and relocation to Dubai. This case highlights a structured terror module that uses monetary incentives and disposable operatives for carrying out attacks in India. Bhatti has been linked to previous violent incidents, including a grenade attack in Gurdaspur, Punjab, and has connections to organized crime.
