UP ATS Arrests 19-Year-Old from Tamil Nadu for Alleged Terror Conspiracy
The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested 19-year-old Maqsood Ali from Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, for alleged involvement in planning violent jihadist activities linked to Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). Ali was reportedly connected to WhatsApp groups sharing extremist content and had ties with a Pakistan-based handler. His arrest followed the detention of Mohammad Nabeel from Azamgarh, who was also implicated in the conspiracy. Authorities allege Ali was developing hacking tools and facilitating recruitment and training for anti-national activities.
