The Subversive Network: Underworld Links, Terror Strikes, and ISI Connections

A friendship started a quarter of a century ago. It happened inside a Bangkok prison. But that connection wasn't just personal. It led to something much darker. A diabolical plan. Terror strikes across multiple Indian cities.
Now, the Delhi Police is digging into some arrested individuals during interrogations. What they found? A whole subversive network . Something far bigger than anyone imagined.
A special cell of the Delhi Police moved in. They targeted members of the dreaded Mumbai underworld. But it wasn't just about those men. Media reports suggest these figures are also linked to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence , ISI. It’s from talking to them that the police stumbled onto plans for several terrorist attacks happening all over India.
The details start getting murky quickly. We’re talking about Munna Jhingada . He was part of this module. Handled by Pakistani underworld operatives. Shahzad Bhatti and other ISI associates were involved in running things.
Jhingada himself? He's known as a henchman to Dawood Ibrahim . Remember that? He carried out an attack on Chhota Rajan back in Bangkok in 2000, acting on Dawood’s orders. He spent seventeen years locked up in a Thai jail for it. Just waiting.
The whole chain of events stretches way back further than the arrests. Things started around the year two thousand. A Bangkok court handed down twenty years to Md. Salim , who went by Munna Jhingada, just for trying to kill Chhota Rajan. Rajan survived that attempt and vanished, heading off to Kenya.
And then there was the movement inside the prison walls. Jhingada wasn't alone in that Thai jail. He met a Nepali national named Ang Kami Lama . Lama was already lodged there. Officials said he was just another inmate.
Lama, the arrested Nepali citizen, was stuck in Thailand from 2001 until 2018. It was all narcotics related trouble. But during that time, he made contact with other co-inmates. Aizaz Rasool and Munna Jhingada. Both were from Pakistan. After they got released, Lama kept talking to Jhingada. Just staying connected.
Over time, Jhingada just climbed up the ladder. He became a close aide for Chhota Shakeel. And Dawood Ibrahim too. The influence grew heavy.
Then came the real operational side of things. Interrogation started revealing how this network moved. It turned out the ISI had brought in its trusted lieutenant. Shahzad Bhatti. Bhatti was tasked with orchestrating these terror strikes. Not just locally. New Delhi and other parts of the country were on the list.
Jhingada, owing to that long-standing friendship he had with Lama, used him and his Nepali gang for the actual execution of these strikes. It felt like a way to keep things moving. A setup.
Then you have another set of names popping up from Pune and Sahibganj (Jharkhand). Vijay Paswan and Nitish Paswan . They were arrested there. And they allegedly told the police something important during questioning. They mentioned their links to Bhatti’s network. That network? It wasn't contained. It stretched everywhere. From Dubai all the way into Pakistan.
The court stuff kept rolling too. A Delhi court actually sent a week of judicial custody to some other suspected terrorists. Harvinder Singh , Gagandeep Singh , and Manjeet Singh were put there for questioning. Monday was that day.
It’s all messy. It’s a web you try to pull apart. The connections are tangled up. And the urgency behind it? That feels heavy. Like something is still moving underneath the surface, even now. Just waiting to break free.
