Indian intelligence agencies have issued a strong alert warning of a potential surge in Pakistan-backed terror activities across the country. According to senior Intelligence Bureau officials, Pakistan’s ISI is coordinating a multi-front escalation, activating terror outfits both on the ground and in cyberspace.
Officials said the ISI has directed Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) to operate jointly while retaining their individual identities, enabling more coordinated, high-impact strikes. The primary focus remains Jammu & Kashmir, but agencies have also flagged plans to activate sleeper cells nationwide.
Intelligence inputs indicate that modules are being revived in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, with religious places identified as potential targets, prompting heightened security and state-wide alerts. A possible JeM-linked plot in Nagpur has led authorities to maintain “very high alert” status.
Beyond physical attacks, the ISI is reportedly expanding its cyber warfare units, preparing large-scale operations involving honey-trap attempts, cyber fraud, and disinformation campaigns aimed at provoking unrest and diverting Indian security resources. Officials warn that such campaigns could be used to incite communal violence, a tactic historically used by Pakistan-backed groups to destabilise the country and fuel recruitment.
Recent intelligence also confirms a strategy meeting in Bahawalpur between LeT and JeM cadres, where it was decided—under ISI supervision—to expand operations beyond Kashmir and establish additional modules similar to the disrupted Faridabad network, enabling pan-India strikes. Terror launch pads in Rawalakot are also being reactivated to facilitate infiltration attempts.
Security agencies caution that Pakistan’s growing desperation, despite provocative statements from its military leadership, is driving these escalatory tactics. With war seen as unlikely, Islamabad is attempting to destabilize India through coordinated terror operations and communal disruption.
