The terror and mayhem they intended to perpetrate was intended to weaken and ultimately destroy the existing order so that an Islamic state could more easily be established in its place.
“‘To establish caliphate’—Delhi cops arrest welder, Class 12 student, two others ‘part of terror module,’” by Samridhi Tewari, The Print, April 19, 2026:
New Delhi: Four persons—an auto-mechanic, a Class 12 student, a security guard-cum-delivery worker, and a plumber—have been arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell for allegedly forming a radicalised module aimed at establishing a caliphate in the Indian Subcontinent. Police claim they were involved in recruitment, propaganda and preparations for potential terror activities.
In a press statement Saturday, Delhi Police said the four were arrested from Maharashtra, Odisha and Bihar, and have been identified as Mosaib Ahmad alias Sonu alias Kalam, a resident of Thane; Mohammed Hammad, a resident of Mumbai; Sheikh Imran, a resident of Bhubaneswar; and Mohammad Sohail, a resident of Katihar.
Police said the arrested individuals believed in the emergence of a “Khurasan-based lashkar (army)” and “were preparing to join this lashkar to participate in Ghazwa-e-Hind (conquest of India), besides radicalising others”. The police also claim to have recovered material for preparation of IEDs from one of the accused.
According to the police statement, the accused were admins and members of various closed groups on encrypted social media platforms, and were engaged in radicalising and recruiting others “for establishing a caliphate and Islamic state through jihad”.
Two members of the module, the police said, were in the process of collecting locally sourced material for preparing a remote-controlled IED.
One member of the module was, meanwhile, allegedly exhorting others to collect weapons and explosives. The said member had shared his bank account and QR code details on social media for crowd-funding in support of jihad, the police added.
The fourth member, the police said, promised to arrange arms training for the other members of the module and had asked the others to send money for the same.
“He had visited various sensitive installations, including the Red Fort in Delhi during December 2025, and had posted a photo of the Red Fort with a black flag atop to radicalise others,” DCP (Special Cell) Praveen Kumar Tripathi stated. Last November, a car explosion near the Red Fort in New Delhi had resulted in 13 deaths and over 30 injuries. A panicked doctor, suspected to be part of a terror module, was driving the explosives-laden vehicle….
Regarding the third accused Sheikh Imran, the police said he too has studied up to Class 10, and was working as a security guard and delivery boy.
In 2024, he began listening to the takreer or orations of modern religious scholars and preachers such as Tariq Jameel, Israr Ahmed, Zakir Naik, etc, and gradually developed radical beliefs, according to the police.
Imran came across Hammad and Mosaib on social media, and had also created a closed group where discussions centred on “jihad, khilafat and Ghazwa-e-Hind; he even discussed targeting the Ram Mandir, Parliament and military installations,” the police have alleged….

Once again, another example (among the already many thousands) of why Islam is a world-wide pestilence that must be eradicated, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
