The National Investigation Agency detains ten suspected members of the terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed in Goalpara, Assam, during a targeted operation focused on recruitment and attack planning.
Guwahati:In a significant crackdown, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) apprehended ten individuals believed to be affiliated with the banned terror organization Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) on October 5 in Goalpara, Assam. The operation took place in the Krishnai region, where security forces identified and targeted a suspected hideout linked to the group.
The detained individuals are currently undergoing intensive questioning at a secure location. According to Nabaneet Mahanta, Superintendent of Police for Goalpara, the suspects are thought to be engaged in various activities tied to JeM, including recruitment efforts, fundraising activities, and the planning of potential attacks.
This operation is part of a broader initiative by Indian security agencies to dismantle terrorist networks operating within the region. The NIA’s actions reflect ongoing concerns regarding the presence and influence of extremist groups in northeastern India, particularly in areas vulnerable to recruitment and radicalization.
The authorities have ramped up surveillance and intelligence-gathering efforts in the region to prevent any escalation of terrorist activities. This latest operation underscores the commitment of law enforcement agencies to counteract terrorism and ensure the safety and security of the local population.
As investigations continue, further details regarding the suspects’ connections and the extent of their operations may emerge, providing a clearer picture of the threat posed by the Jaish-e-Mohammed group in Assam and beyond.
