The Special Task Force (STF) has taken Hamim Mondal into custody following allegations that he was involved in a terror plot targeting Jantar Mantar in Delhi. According to investigators, the suspect was allegedly receiving directives from handlers based in Pakistan to carry out subversive activities.

Beyond the alleged plot at Jantar Mantar, the STF claims that Mondal was tasked with monitoring the movements of the Chief Minister. Officials stated that the investigation into the suspect's activities was significantly aided by information gathered from his girlfriend's social media accounts, which provided key evidence leading to his identification and subsequent arrest.

While the STF has released these details regarding the suspect's objectives and external coordination, the broader scope of the investigation and the specific timeline of the alleged plot remain under review by security agencies. No further details regarding the suspect's legal representation or specific charges filed in court have been disclosed at this time.
