In the wake of a deadly car blast in Delhi that left 13 people dead, Indian authorities have launched a crackdown across Kashmir, making several arrests as part of an alleged "terror module" linked to the attack.
The Indian government has confirmed the blast was a terror incident perpetrated by anti-national forces, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi describing it as a conspiracy. His home minister, Amit Shah, vowed to hunt down each and every culprit behind the incident.
While police have yet to make any formal announcement about who they believe is behind the Delhi attack, unofficially, investigations are underway into an interstate and transnational terror module that was targeted by the police in the days leading up to the explosion. This inquiry began after posters promoting Pakistan-backed armed terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad appeared in Srinagar.
Seven people have been arrested so far as part of these inquiries, including two Kashmiri doctors working in other Indian states. Police discovered 2,900kg of explosive materials and chemicals during a raid on one of the doctors' homes, suggesting that they were being readied for a multi-target attack.
The police network described as the source of the terror plot is seen as a "white-collar ecosystem" involving radicalized professionals and students in contact with foreign handlers operating from Pakistan and other countries.
However, the authorities remain tight-lipped about direct connections between the group and the Delhi blast. The police have warned that those suspected of involvement face severe punishment, including demolition of their homes.
As tensions rise in Kashmir, residents are living under high alert conditions, with multiple agencies conducting raids to disrupt terrorist activities. A senior officer added that they were monitoring all suspicious activity closely.
Meanwhile, officials from Pakistan have yet to issue a statement regarding the attack or alleged terror plot.

this whole thing got me thinking about how we let fear and paranoia control us... like in Kashmir, they're living under high alert conditions, but what's the point of that? is it really gonna make them safer? 
i mean, isn't it just a cycle of retaliation and more violence? 
meanwhile, india's all about hunting down 'terrorists' without questioning who's behind the actual terror... like, are we just looking at symptoms or the disease itself? 
and what's with this 'white-collar ecosystem' stuff? how do we even define radicalization in a world where lines get blurrier between patriotism and fanaticism? 
it's all so complicated, but i guess that's why we need more than just arrests and raids to fix our problems...
I'm telling you, something fishy is going on here... They're just using this as an excuse to crack down on Kashmir and silence anyone who speaks out against them. That whole "terror module" thing sounds like a bunch of smoke and mirrors to me. 
The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that there's a larger game being played here. 
it sounds like such a scary situation and my heart goes out to those 13 people who lost their lives 
the police are trying their best to catch the culprits but I hope they can find a way to de-escalate the tension ASAP 
meanwhile, let's keep our fingers crossed for peace and love in that region 
my thoughts r w/ the families of those who lost their loved ones 
hope the authorities can get to the bottom of this & bring some peace back 2 Kashmir 
lets focus on unity & love rather than hate n anger 
. I mean, 13 people dead is already a tragedy and now we're talking about potential arrests and crackdowns in Kashmir? It just feels like another example of how these situations can quickly escalate into chaos 
.
I'm also curious where the US fits into all this - are they going to take a stand on this one? 
. arrests are one thing, but lets see where this investigation takes us 
. and what about these posters popping up in Srinagar? is it really just a coincidence or is there more to the story 
? It's all so suspiciously convenient 
. And what's with the quick jump to blaming Pakistan? 
Has anyone considered that maybe there's more to this story than meets the eye? 
These arrests and raids are happening left and right without any clear evidence or trial 
. I'm worried that this will just fuel the cycle of violence and retaliation in Kashmir 
. We should be focusing on finding real solutions to peace and stability in the region, not chasing shadows 
and now it seems like there's a whole investigation going on, with so many arrests and raids happening in Kashmir
