New Delhi (India) February 22:On Saturday Delhi police Q branch arrested six Bangladeshi nationals living illegally in Tirupur for posting messages that they said support a terror outfit based in Pakistan on online social media platforms. The raid resulted in the confiscation of eight mobile phones and 16 SIM cards from the suspects. They were residing in Tirupur using forged papers, police said.
6 Illegals Nabbed for Pro-Pak Terror Posts
Based on the specific details about provocative posts and communication with the extremist modules working in Pakistan, the Q branch officers arrived at Tirupur on Saturday, with the help of the Tirupur police, and conducted raids in three locations there.
They arrested Mijanur Rahman, Mohammad Shabat, Umar, Mohammad Litan, Mohammad Shahid and Mohammad Ujjal. According to local police sources, this group is tied to a person who recently posted inflammatory posters in Delhi that were supportive of a terrorist organisation out of Pakistan.
8 Phones, 16 SIMs Seized with Cross-Border Links
Investigators seized 8 mobile phones and 16 SIM cards from the suspects. Data from these devices has uncovered ties to international handlers. The suspects appear to be receiving funds from across the border, authorities believe.
Officials also discovered that they were engaged in Delhi-issued activities regarding “Free Kashmir” posters and other suspicious acts. These confiscated mobile phones will be referred for forensic analysis to identify their users.
Probe Digs into Sleeper Cell Fears
The Delhi Q branch is continuing to interrogate the six men to learn how much they were in touch with terror networks and whether they might also have been part of a bigger sleeper cell. A preliminary investigation found that the devices were reportedly used to share materials advocating for banned terrorist groups, as well as keep in touch with potential handlers.
Joint Ops Highlight Anti-Terror Vigilance Boost
The suspects were detained for more investigation, possibly with charges of promoting terrorism on social media and flouting immigration laws. Yet there are continued worries about online radicalization and illegal immigration infrastructures that could be leveraged as security instruments, the case underscores.
The security agencies are more active, monitoring on the internet for anything they see that might incite violence, or support terrorist groups they think should be banned. The operation shows the joint responsibility of state and central police forces in responding to such matters rapidly.
