Five Detained in Rajasthan Counterterror Raids as Probe Shifts to Suspected Foreign Funding

Officials say the intelligence-led operation now centers on examining overseas contacts and money flows.

Overview

  • Rajasthan ATS confirmed five suspects were taken to its Jaipur headquarters for interrogation after pre-dawn searches across multiple districts.
  • Joint teams from the ATS, NIA and Intelligence Bureau conducted coordinated raids in Jodhpur, Jalore’s Sanchore area, Karauli and Jaipur.
  • Those detained were identified by officials as Osama Umar, Masood, Mohammad Ayub, Mohammad Junaid and Basir, with several linked locally to madrasas according to reports.
  • Investigators seized mobile phones, laptops, documents and donation receipts, which are undergoing forensic analysis to trace communications and funding trails.
  • Authorities have not named any specific overseas organisation, no formal arrests were announced, and the action comes days after Delhi-area ISIS cases that remain a separate line of inquiry.
