Red Fort Blast Exposes Pakistan's New Terror Tactic in Kashmir
Imagine bad guys in another country want to cause trouble in Kashmir.
For a long time, they looked for people who were already known troublemakers.
But now, they've changed their plan.
They are trying to trick people who seem completely normal – like students or shopkeepers' sons – who have no police records and don't look like they're angry about anything.
It's like a silent trick because it's hard for families and police to notice anything is wrong until it's too late.
The bad guys are hoping these 'normal' people will help them do bad things, like a sneaky trick.
One of these normal people was even a doctor who was tricked into bombing a famous place called the Red Fort, which sadly hurt many people.
The police are trying to catch these bad guys and stop them, but it's harder now because the people they're looking for don't stand out.
Terror handlers, allegedly operating from Pakistan, are now recruiting individuals with no prior separatist links, criminal records, or visible radicalization.
This new strategy aims to use psychological warfare by targeting the emotionally vulnerable and disguised as ordinary citizens.
The Red Fort suicide bombing on November 10, 2025, executed by a medical doctor, highlights the severity of this new terror tactic.
Investigations revealed links to handlers in Turkey and the use of manipulated individuals for logistics.
Jammu & Kashmir Police are adapting their intelligence and surveillance methods to counter this evolving threat and are engaging in community outreach and behavioral analysis.
