In the poster related to four suspected terrorists with links to Al-Qaeda, the Delhi Police said people providing information on them will be given a “suitable reward” for the same, but their identity will not be revealed.

The Delhi Police on Tuesday put up posters of suspected terrorists near Hanuman Mandir in Connaught Place, in the heart of the national capital. As many as four posters were seen in the area that mentioned four individuals having links with Sunni Islamist terror group Al-Qaeda, among others.

The Delhi Police said those coming forward with any information regarding the four will be rewarded “suitably”. The names of informants will, however, be concealed, the department added.

On Monday, the Delhi Police installed facial recognition systems (FRS) and CCTV cameras at 30 locations, including six entry points for frisking, across the national capital to augment security ahead of this year’s Republic Day. An officer said the FRS has a database of a total of 50,000 suspected criminals.

People have been told to cooperate with security checks and also display their personal identification proof such as Aadhaar cards, voter ID cards and driving licence, among others, along with entry passes.

On Sunday, Delhi Police chief Rakesh Asthana said over 27,000 personnel have been deployed for security purposes and anti-terror measures ahead of the Republic Day celebrations. The Union territory (UT) police is also getting assistance from 65 companies of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs), Asthana added.
