Earlier police had sounded an alert in Delhi on Tuesday and released photographs of two alleged Jaish-e-Mohammed operatives who could try to carry out a terror attack in the city. The alert came on an intelligence input in wake of November 18 grenade attack at a religious congregation in Amritsar that left three people dead and 20 others injured.
