In a significant breakthrough, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has apprehended the mastermind behind an Al-Qaeda terror module. The arrest follows the earlier detention of four individuals linked to Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), who were nabbed in a coordinated operation across Gujarat, Noida, and Delhi.
The Gujarat ATS uncovered a sophisticated social media network used by the suspects to propagate extremist ideologies. The agency had been monitoring the group for an extended period, leading to the exposure of a counterfeit Indian currency racket alongside their terror activities. The four initial suspects were found to be using social media platforms and certain applications to disseminate Al-Qaeda’s ideology, according to sources .
This latest arrest in Bengaluru marks a critical step in dismantling the AQIS network, with the Gujarat ATS continuing its efforts to neutralize terrorist threats in the region. The operation underscores the agency’s vigilance in combating terrorism and safeguarding national security.
