Joint Commissioner of Police Karnal Singh today said that during initial interrogation Shabbir disclosed that one of his associates had provided him a huge cache of arms and ammunition on the directions of LeT commanders and these were lying at his hotel room.
"Following this information police raided the hotel and recovered one AK-56 assault rifle with two magazines, 60 live cartridges, 4-live hand grenades and hundred thousand rupees," Singh added.
Singh further said that the arrested militant was planning a suicide attack in the capital ahead of the Independence Day celebration on August 15.
"The motive of this militant was fidayeen attack, we cannot provide the location of the target since the location of the target is not given to them before hand to prevent any leaks in the plan," Singh added.
Shabbir was arrested from a crowded locality in the old quarters of Delhi on Friday.
