India’s wanted terrorist Farhatullah Ghori, living in Pakistan, has threatened to attack India in a video. He asked his sleeper cells to derail trains in Delhi-Mumbai and other cities and disturb the supply chain. This video was uploaded on Telegram three weeks ago. It surfaced in the media on Wednesday, 28 August. In the video, Ghori is telling the terrorists, ‘Use pressure cookers in bomb blasts. Intelligence agencies of the Government of India and ED are targeting their properties. This is weakening the sleeper cell network. We will come back and shake the government.’ Ghori has been declared a terrorist by the Government of India under UAPA. According to reports, security agencies are on alert after Ghori’s threat. On the other hand, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, in a press conference on Wednesday, called the incidents of placing stones on train tracks sensitive. Vaishnav said that the accidents happening on railway tracks are under investigation. Gauri is a suspect in Rameshwar Cafe blast
