Delhi Police have arrested eight suspects in connection with an alleged conspiracy to carry out coordinated attacks in the national capital and Mumbai, according to senior officials. The arrests follow an investigation that uncovered plans targeting both government and private establishments as well as security installations across both cities.

Investigators recovered substantial evidence during the operation, including digital materials and physical documentation that detailed potential targets. "We have collected evidence, including some pictures, videos, and coordinates of specific government and non-government buildings and security establishments at which these attacks were being planned," said a senior police official involved in the case.

The specific nature of the alleged conspiracy and the identities of the arrested individuals have not been disclosed pending further investigation. Police said they are continuing their probe to identify any additional suspects or associates who may have been involved in the planning.

The arrests come as security agencies across India remain on high alert regarding potential threats. Authorities have indicated that further details will be released as the investigation progresses.
