In a major security operation, the Haryana Special Task Force (STF) arrested three individuals near Ambala after recovering approximately two kilograms of explosives believed to be RDX from their possession. The arrests were made during a targeted operation conducted on the basis of specific intelligence inputs received by security agencies.
According to officials familiar with the investigation, the operation was launched after authorities received credible information regarding the possible movement of suspicious individuals carrying explosives in the region. Acting quickly on the intelligence, the STF set up a surveillance and interception point near Ambala.
Police sources revealed that the suspects were traveling on a motorcycle when the STF team intercepted them. During the search operation, officers recovered around two kilograms of explosives suspected to be RDX from the possession of the accused.
Authorities stated that the motorcycle used by the suspects carried a Haryana registration number and belongs to one of the arrested individuals, identified as Jangveer.
Identity of the Arrested Individuals
Following the arrests, the three suspects were identified as Jangveer from Haryana, Ali Akbar from Ajmer in Rajasthan, and Anas from Meerut in Uttar Pradesh. All three individuals are currently in police custody and are being questioned by investigators.
| Name of Accused | Place of Origin | Role Under Investigation |
|---|---|---|
| Jangveer | Haryana | Owner of the motorcycle used in transport |
| Ali Akbar | Ajmer, Rajasthan | Suspected associate in explosives transport |
| Anas | Meerut, Uttar Pradesh | Suspected accomplice in the operation |
Explosives Believed to Have Been Brought from Punjab
Initial investigations suggest that the explosives may have been transported from the punjab region before the suspects were intercepted by the STF team near Ambala. However, authorities are still verifying the exact origin of the explosives.
Officials believe the material recovered could potentially be RDX, a powerful military-grade explosive. Forensic experts have been tasked with examining the seized material to confirm its composition and origin.
The recovery of suspected RDX has raised serious security concerns, prompting law enforcement agencies to intensify the investigation to determine the purpose for which the explosives were being transported.
Police Investigating Possible Terror or Criminal Links
Security agencies are now focusing on uncovering whether the arrested individuals were acting independently or were part of a larger network involved in illegal explosives trafficking or other criminal activities.
Investigators are also examining whether the explosives were intended for a specific target or operation. Officials have not ruled out the possibility of connections to Organized Crime or extremist groups at this stage of the investigation.
Authorities are currently interrogating the accused to gather more information about the source of the explosives, their intended destination, and any possible collaborators involved in the operation.
Investigation Continues
The Haryana Special Task Force has launched a detailed investigation into the case, with multiple agencies expected to assist in examining the seized explosives and tracing their supply chain.
Officials stated that further developments are expected as the interrogation continues and more evidence is analyzed. Security agencies are also reviewing intelligence inputs to determine whether similar attempts to transport explosives have occurred in the region.
The arrests highlight the importance of intelligence-led policing and coordinated security operations aimed at preventing potential threats before they materialize.
