Pakistan Behind Delhi Blast, Says Minister-Flood-Damaged Border Fence Used To Push In Weapons

Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu has made a serious claim that Pakistan took advantage of Punjab’s monsoon floods to push large quantities of weapons across the border. He said that during the heavy rains, sections of fencing along the India-Pakistan border were washed away, giving smugglers a chance to sneak arms into India. These weapons, according to him, were meant for planned terror attacks in various Indian cities, including Delhi.

What Did The Minister Reveal About The Blast?

Speaking in Chandigarh, Bittu said that intelligence agencies were already tracing links of the Delhi blast to Pakistan-backed networks. He revealed that the suspects involved included a woman, a doctor, and a professor who will soon be caught. He warned that India’s security agencies, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah, will give a strong response. Bittu added that the main accused escaped moments before the blast but is now being hunted down.

What Was Operation Sindoor And Why It Matters?

Bittu reminded Pakistan of “Operation Sindoor,” hinting that India’s counter-terror network remains fully active. He said that Pakistan should not forget the consequences of provoking India. According to him, if Pakistan wants to fight, it should face Indian forces directly instead of targeting innocent civilians. His strong words were meant to warn both terrorists and their handlers that India will respond decisively.

How Did The Flood Destroy Border Security?

During the monsoon, Punjab’s Ravi River overflowed and caused severe damage along the border. Around 30 kilometers of fencing were swept away, and several BSF posts had to be vacated due to flooding. Nearly 40 border outposts in Amritsar, Gurdaspur, and Ferozepur sectors were submerged. Even Pakistani Rangers abandoned their positions as water covered large stretches of the zero line, creating gaps exploited by smugglers and militants.

How Did Smugglers Exploit The Situation?

With border posts empty and fences broken, Pakistani smugglers took control of abandoned areas. They used these points to send arms and narcotics into India using drones. While drone activity reduced during peak floods, once water receded, weapons and drugs began to flow again. Punjab Police and BSF recovered multiple weapon consignments in the months after the floods, confirming that the damaged border had become an easy route for infiltration.

What Weapons Were Seized After The Floods?

Authorities in Punjab made several major seizures. On September 12, CIA teams in Fazilka arrested two smugglers with 16 pistols, 38 magazines, and over 1,800 bullets. A day earlier, another 27 pistols were recovered. In total, BSF and Punjab Police seized around 81 pistols, eight hand grenades, and nearly 2,500 rounds of ammunition since the floods. All investigations pointed to Pakistani origin, proving that the infiltration was well-planned.

How Is India Preparing To Respond?

The Delhi blast and the weapon smuggling network have triggered nationwide security alerts. Central agencies are coordinating with state police to identify all links behind the explosions. Ravneet Singh Bittu said India will not remain silent and will respond to Pakistan’s “cowardly acts” with strength. As agencies tighten their grip, it’s clear the Delhi blast was not an isolated event but part of a larger cross-border conspiracy.
