Continuous combing operation going on: Haryana Home Secy Sumita Mishra on high alert in the state after Delhi blast
Chandigarh, November 15
Haryana Home Secretary Sumita Mishra on Saturday said that the continuous combing operations are going on in the state following the Delhi terror attack.
Haryana was immediately put on high alert after the car blast near Red Fort Metro Station in Delhi, in which 12 people were killed and dozens of others were injured.
"The law is such that not everything can be disclosed. But, there is a high alert, and continuous combing operations are going on. And they will continue," she said.
Earlier, Security agencies have recovered the diaries of Delhi blast case accused Dr Umar and Dr Muzammil, which mentioned the dates November 8 to 12, indicating that the planning was underway for such an incident during that period, sources said.
According to the sources, the diary also contained the names of approximately 25 individuals, most of whom hailed from Jammu and Kashmir and Faridabad.
Delhi police have already arrested Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Muzamil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Saeed in connection with the Delhi blast case, as they had an alleged link to past terror cases.
Dr Umar, who was driving the car that exploded near the historic Red Fort, used to live in Al-Falah Medical College.
Investigation agencies on Thursday informed that around eight suspects were allegedly preparing to execute coordinated explosions at four locations, with each pair assigned to a specific target city.
Preliminary investigation indicates that the accused groups had intended to move in pairs, each carrying multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) for simultaneous attacks.
However, Al-Falah University has distanced itself from Dr Umar and Dr Muzammil, stating that the University has no connection with the accused beyond their official capacities, and that no questionable chemical or material is being used or stored on the University premises.

The mention of Faridabad in the diaries is worrying. As a resident of Haryana, I hope the combing operations are thorough. Safety of citizens should be top priority.
While I appreciate the security measures, I wish the Home Secretary could share more details with the public. Complete secrecy sometimes creates more panic than necessary.
The fact that educated doctors are involved is shocking. What drives professionals to such acts? We need better mental health screening in medical colleges.
Coordinated attacks at four locations? Thank God they were stopped in time. Our security agencies deserve appreciation for their timely action. Jai Hind! ðŸ™
The university distancing itself is understandable, but institutions should have better background checks for staff and students. Prevention is better than cure.
As someone who travels frequently between Delhi and Haryana, this news is concerning. Hope the combing operations yield results without causing inconvenience to common people.
