Mumbai Man Arrested by ATS for Alleged Links to Jaish-e-Mohammed Terror Group
The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested 33-year-old Mohammad Hasan Abu Sarmad Akhtar near Mumbai's Mahim Metro station over alleged links to the banned Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). Investigators found inflammatory social media posts, including audio clips of JeM chief Masood Azhar's speeches and a comment about Prime Minister Modi's Mumbai visit, on his phone. The ATS is probing his online activities, possible contacts with Pakistani intelligence, and his role while working as a Rapido rider and perfume seller.
