Pakistan-Linked Plot to Target Security Personnel Foiled in Lucknow; Four Arrested
The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested three men and took a juvenile into custody for allegedly plotting to assassinate police or Army personnel in Lucknow under instructions from a Pakistan-based handler linked to the banned Shahzad Bhatti Network. The suspects were reportedly promised Rs 3 lakh and tasked with filming the attack to send to Pakistan. Authorities recovered a foreign-made pistol and cartridges, and investigations continue into the plot's extent and connections.
