Police outpost blast: 'Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen Hindustan' post puts agencies on alert

NEW DELHI: Intelligence agencies have initiated an investigation into a social media post claiming responsibility for a low-intensity explosion near a police outpost in Ghaziabad.

The statement, circulated online alongside an audio-visual message, was released under the banner of an obscure group calling itself "Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen Hindustan".

The agencies are cautious as the incident comes ahead of the Red Fort blast's first anniversary.

Cyber intelligence teams and counter-terror units are currently tracing the IP addresses, digital footprints, and social media handles responsible for uploading and circulating the video and graphic banner.

Meanwhile, security protocols around vital installations across the National Capital Region have been heightened as forensic experts continue examining physical evidence recovered from the blast site.

The digital release features a structured statement in English alongside an Urdu audio voiceover.

The post explicitly asserts that the group targeted police personnel in Ghaziabad, framing the attack as a response to domestic policies and alleged atrocities.

The narrative accuses state authorities of oppression, targeting places of worship, and housing women and children in detention facilities.

Using inflammatory rhetoric directed at both the public and law enforcement agencies, the release attempts to delegitimize local administrative structures while warning of prospective operational escalations.

However, high-ranking security sources have discounted the credibility of the group's organizational background.

According to intelligence officials, no entity named "Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen Hindustan" exists in existing counter-terrorism databases.

Preliminary evaluations suggest the online release is not an operational mandate from a established outfit, but rather a psychological operation (psy-op) engineered by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in conjunction with gangster-turned-terrorist Shehzad Bhatti.

Investigators indicate that orchestrating such low-intensity incidents accompanied by fabricated digital manifestos is an old ISI tactic intended to amplify panic, exaggerate local terror capabilities, and incite communal friction.
