New Delhi: In a significant development in the Red Fort Blast case, it has been revealed that the accused orchestrated their plan through a Whatsapp group, which they named "Wolf Pack." Sources say the group was mainly active between 11 pm and 2 am, a period they called the "Wolf Hours." Shaheen, the alleged mastermind, used to initiate conversations using the "howl" code.
Investigators believe Shaheen planned all the crucial tasks in the group, using the howl code to communicate. She had also created two subgroups led by females, named Aurora and Luna, after female wolves
Parvez, during his night shifts, was active in the group to plan the attacks. Investigators revealed that multiple numbers were connected to the WhatsApp group. While Shaheen was the admin, other accused such as Parvez, Arif, and others were also part of the group, sources revealed.
To maintain secrecy, the attackers used codenames instead of their real names. Arif was known as "Spiro," while Shaheen was called "Madam Surgeon," the alpha of the group. Shaheen frequently discussed ambushing targets using wolf-like tactics. Parvez was observed planning lone wolf attacks within the group. During the raid, investigators recovered a "chopper" from Parvez's residence.
