Assam Police’s Crackdown on Jihadi Networks: One More Arrested in Dhubri
First Published: 19th January, 2025 14:14 IST
The jihadi terror operative has been identified as Jaher Ali.
In a major breakthrough, the Special Task Force (STF) of Assam Police has arrested one more jihadi from Bilasipara in Dhubri district today.
The jihadi terror operative has been identified as Jaher Ali.
Preliminary inputs suggest that Jaher Ali had been operating under the guise of an auto-rickshaw driver.
Following his arrest, he is being brought to Guwahati for further interrogation and investigation.
Earlier on December 30, 2024, the STF has arrested 35-year-old Gazi Rahman, a resident of Bhodeyaguri, Kokrajhar, the prime accused in the terror plot planning to attack RSS and other Hindu organisation leaders, from the Kokrajhar district.
With the latest arrest, the STF Assam has now apprehended a total of 13 jihadi operatives from Assam, West Bengal, and Kerala.
Earlier this month, a nationwide intelligence-led operation, involving the active cooperation of West Bengal and Kerala Police, led to the arrest of 8 fundamentalist jihadis, including one Bangladeshi national from Kerala.
This operation uncovered a terror module plotting attacks in India.
On December 25, 2024, the STF Assam carried out a raid and search operation with the help of Kokrajhar Police at Namapara and arrested 2 persons identified as Abdul Zaher Sheikh and Sabbir Mirdha.
On December 27, police arrested a member of Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), a Bangladesh-based terrorist organisation from Dhubri district.
The apprehended person was identified as 36-year-old Shahinur Islam of the Bilasipara area in Dhubri.
