Gujarat ATS Arrests Eight Individuals Linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed Terror Network
The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested eight individuals from Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh for alleged links to the Pakistan-based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). The accused, aged between 18 and 40, were reportedly working to establish an active terror network in Gujarat, recruiting members and spreading extremist literature. Authorities registered cases under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Investigations revealed contacts with Pakistan-based handlers and recovery of jihadi materials. The arrests are seen as a significant disruption of JeM's activities in the region.
