UP Migrant Arrested in Karnataka Over Suspected Pakistan-Linked Terror ConnectionsPreviousNext

Karnataka police arrested Suhail, a 20-year-old migrant from Uttar Pradesh, in Davangere on suspicion of links to a Pakistan-based terror organization. Working as a painter, he was detained following intelligence inputs and raids coordinated with central agencies. Authorities found suspected terror-related material on his mobile and WhatsApp, including communications with Pakistan-based individuals. The arrest is part of a broader investigation involving multiple suspects and alleged plots, including a potential attack on the Ayodhya Ram Mandir. Further interrogation and probe by Tumakuru police and the National Investigation Agency are ongoing.
