"We were getting intelligence about the three terrorists for quite some time. Assistant Commissioners of Police Special Cell Lalit Mohan Negi and Hriday Bhushan found out during an investigation that these terrorists are from Assam.

"They were planning strikes in Assam and then in Delhi. We contacted the Assam Police and nabbed them," Pramod Kumar Singh Kushwaha, Special Cell DCP, told media persons at a press conference.
