Security agencies uncovered a terror plot orchestrated by four doctors who used encrypted Telegram messages with food-related code words to plan the Delhi suicide car bombing. The "white collar" terror cell, radicalized by Imam Irfan Ahmad from Kashmir, communicated using "biryani" for explosives and "daawat" for planned attacks. Their medical licenses have been revoked as investigations continue into their connections with Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammad.
