UP ATS Arrests Two Men in Karnataka Over Alleged Pakistan and ISIS LinksPreviousNext

The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) arrested two men from Uttar Pradesh in Karnataka's Kalaburagi district over alleged links with Pakistan and ISIS. The suspects, Mohammad Sameer and Salman, worked at the Fair Exports beef factory and are being questioned at an undisclosed location. Investigators recovered maps from Sameer's room, which are under examination. The arrests followed intelligence inputs from a central agency, and authorities are probing their communications, reportedly conducted via WhatsApp and Facebook.
