Army, Delhi Police destroy rocket launchers in Narela
The Story in Brief
A joint operation by the Army, Delhi Police Special Cell and the Forensic Science Laboratory is underway in Delhi's Narela to destroy a cache of weapons linked to two suspected terrorists arrested in Manipur, sources said on Wednesday.
The weapons, including rocket launchers, rifles, hundreds of rounds of live ammunition, detonators and other explosive material, were seized during a joint search operation in Manipur and brought to Delhi for examination and disposal.
Specialised teams are carrying out the controlled disposal, and security has been tightened around the area, sources added.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The destruction of these weapons in Delhi rather than in Manipur suggests forensic examination was needed before disposal. The Narela location is far from residential areas, reducing risk. The case dates back to the arrest of two suspected terrorists in Manipur, a state that has seen sporadic insurgency-related activity. The cache size, rocket launchers and hundreds of rounds, indicates the suspects may have been planning a significant attack. The disposal operation's completion will likely be announced once all material is safely destroyed.
