Assam Police Uncover Major Terror Module, Arrest 8 Suspects Including Bangladeshi National

The arrests, part of 'Operation Praghat,' reveal plans to target Hindu leaders and destabilize communal harmony in India.

Assam Special Task Force (STF), in collaboration with Kerala and West Bengal police, arrested eight individuals, including Bangladeshi national Md Sad Radi, linked to an Al-Qaeda affiliate.
The suspects were allegedly working to establish sleeper cells in Assam, West Bengal, and Kerala to carry out subversive activities and disrupt communal harmony.
Md Sad Radi, sent to India in November 2024, reportedly planned to recruit individuals and orchestrate attacks targeting Hindu leaders, including members of the RSS.
Recovered materials include mobile phones with suspicious apps, distorted religious texts, and documents linking the suspects to cross-border communication with Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Authorities are investigating further to uncover additional nodes of the terror network and assess potential connections to recent illegal infiltrations from Bangladesh.
