NEW DELHI: An Intelligence Bureau report from October 2025 had stated that the Islamic State is tapping into the infrastructure of the Indian Mujahideen, which was largely wiped out a decade back and could have a link to the Red Fort blast in which 13 people died.
The Indian Mujahideen following the arrest of its top man, Yasin Bhatkal may have collapsed, but the agencies had always flagged the defunct modules of the terror outfit and said that these could be used by other groups.
Today with the probe into the Delhi Red Fort blast widening, security officials say that the Jaish-e-Mohammad, which ran the Faridabad module could be tapping into the infrastructure of the Indian Mujahideen which has remained largely defunct for more than 10 years.
While no direct link between the Indian Mujahideen and Faridabad module has been established as yet, investigators suspect that the Jaish-e-Mohammad could have used the infrastructure of the defunct outfit to procure arms and ammunition.
Following the arrest of Bhatkal and his associates many Indian Mujahideen operatives went underground. They are still lurking around and pose a huge risk to the system, explained an Intelligence Bureau official.
