West Bengal Police Arrest Suspected Jaish-e-Mohammed Operatives Linked to Political Surveillance
West Bengal Police's Special Task Force arrested suspected Jaish-e-Mohammed operative Hamim Mondal and his alleged accomplice Arpita Sarkar from Bardhaman and Jharkhand, respectively. Investigations reveal their involvement in gathering intelligence on Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and other political figures, with Sarkar reportedly part of a honey-trap network. Authorities suspect links to Pakistan-based handlers and plans to target political leaders, including potential sabotage at Delhi's Jantar Mantar protest. The case is described as highly sensitive with national security implications.
