Another big revelation has come to light on Tuesday in the Faridabad terror module with relation to the Red Fort blast case. 'Biryani' and 'Dawat' were used as the codenames of the white-collar terror module. The terrorist plot was being hatched in the name of food. All these terrorist doctors used the names of food and drinks as codewords to communicate on an encrypted app. 'Biryani' was used as the code word for explosives, and 'Dawat' was used as the code word for the day of attack.
'Biryani is ready' means 'get ready for the feast'
According to security agencies, when the message "Biryani is ready... get ready for the feast" appeared in the chat, it meant that the bomb was also ready and an attack was imminent.
Four doctors involved in the white-collar terror module—Muzammil Shakeel, Umar Un Nabi, Shahina Saeed, and Adeel Ham Radar—were discussing bombs and attacks under the guise of cooking.
