Rise of Self-Radicalised Lone Wolves Poses New Challenge for Indian Intelligence Agencies

Indian intelligence agencies are grappling with a surge in self-radicalised 'lone wolf' attackers who operate without physical contact with formal terror organisations, using encrypted platforms and online gaming channels. Recent arrests in Delhi, Maharashtra, UP and Gujarat reveal individuals radicalised through DIY material online, with mobilisation periods shrinking to weeks. Cases include Tushar Chauhan (20) in Meerut, who allegedly received Rs 3 lakh from ISI-linked handler Shahzad Bhatti, and recruits using PubG and FreeFire for communication.

India's Lone Wolf Terror Threat: Self-Radicalised Individuals Bypassing Traditional Counterterrorism

Indian intelligence agencies are facing a surge in self-radicalised 'lone wolf' attackers who consume DIY extremist propaganda online and communicate via encrypted platforms and gaming channels, bypassing traditional surveillance. Recent arrests in Delhi, Maharashtra, UP and Gujarat reveal individuals like Tushar Chauhan (20) and Rizwan who were recruited without physical contact with formal terror organisations. The 'flash-to-bang' radicalisation period has narrowed to weeks, leaving minimal intervention time. Investigators warn the lack of command structures means no phone calls or financial transfers to intercept.
