Rajasthan link emerges in Gujarat ATS terror arrests ahead of Delhi blast
JAIPUR: A Rajasthan connection has emerged in the case of three terrorists arrested by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) shortly before the Delhi bombings, raising concern among state security agencies. Following the revelation, a team from the Rajasthan ATS has departed for Gujarat to interrogate the arrested suspects. According to the Gujarat ATS, the trio had procured their weapons from Hanumangarh district in Rajasthan. The Rajasthan ATS is now expected to gather crucial information about the weapons supply network operating from the region. The team will conduct a detailed investigation into the suspects alleged links with Rajasthan, said Rajasthan ATS Inspector General Vikas Kumar. Preliminary findings from the Gujarat ATS interrogation suggest that the three accused obtained weapons from Hanumangarh district, and some consignments were reportedly smuggled into India from Pakistan using drones. Gujarat ATS arrests three people, including doctor, allegedly conspiring to carry out terror attack Officials said the visiting Rajasthan ATS team will seek to establish the route used to transport the dropped consignments and identify any local facilitators or intermediary networks. Rajasthan DGP Rajiv Kumar Sharma confirmed that while the Gujarat ATS led the initial operations, information pointing towards Rajasthan prompted the state ATS to send investigators to Gujarat. We are coordinating closely with Gujarat authorities to obtain complete information and take necessary follow-up action, he said. Though Hanumangarh does not share an international border, neighbouring Sri Ganganagar district has previously reported instances of cross-border smuggling, officials noted. Security agencies are now investigating whether those earlier routes were exploited to transport weapons and other contraband inland. The developments have sparked concern over potential gaps in border intelligence and surveillance. According to informed sources, drone drops from across the Pakistan border, previously linked to narcotics consignments in Sri Ganganagar and Barmer, are suspected to have been used to deliver weapons in this case. Authorities have described the confirmation that weapons, not just drugs, were delivered by drone as a serious security threat. The Gujarat ATS has identified the three arrested suspects as Dr Ahmed Mohiuddin Syed (Hyderabad), Azad Suleman Sheikh (Shamli, Uttar Pradesh), and Mohammad Suhail alias Mohammad Salim Khan (Lakhimpur Kheri, Uttar Pradesh). Reports allege links between the trio and the extremist group ISIS; authorities are currently investigating these claims. Officials further allege that one of the accused and his associates were attempting to prepare a toxic chemical, and that plans to use it in potential attacks are under scrutiny. These allegations remain under verification as investigations continue.

Delhi-based visa operator held after four Gujarati migrants were abducted in Iran
AHMEDABAD: A human trafficking and extortion racket has been busted after the rescue of four residents of Gujarats Gandhinagar who were abducted in Iran while attempting to illegally enter Australia. The Gandhinagar Special Operations Group (SOG) has now arrested the Delhi-based agent who orchestrated the crime and is digging deeper into the network. The four victims, including a couple, are residents of Bapupura village in Mansa taluka. They were kidnapped and brutalised in Tehran under the false promise of being sent to Australia. The mastermind behind this, Delhi-based passport and visa agent Zareek Ahmed Khan Safiq Ahmed Khan, was arrested by the Gandhinagar SOG following a meticulous interstate operation led by officer police inspector V D Wala under the supervision of SP Ravi Teja Wasam Shetty, marks a crucial breakthrough in the probe into this transnational racket. Police inspector Wala told local media that the accused agents, Zareek Ahmed Khan and Safiq Ahmed Khan, were arrested a few days ago and produced before the court, which granted police remand till November 13. After frantic efforts involving political intermediaries, all four victims were finally released on October 27 and flown back to India the next day. The Gandhinagar SOG swiftly swung into action, coordinating with multiple teams in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat. Their pursuit led to the arrest of Zareek Ahmed Khan, originally from Uttarakhand but operating from Delhi as a visa agent.

Congress seeks Amit Shah's resignation over Red Fort blast; questions 'serious security lapses'
Congress on Wednesday demanded the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the alleged security lapses that led to the Red Fort blast, which claimed 12 lives. Accusing the security establishment of serious lapses, Congress general secretary K C Venugopal said Amit Shah should step down if he has any sense of responsibility. When the Mumbai blast happened, when the UPA was in power, the then Home Minister resigned, taking moral responsibility for security. The opposition demanded his resignation, owing to moral responsibility for the security failure, he said. Venugopal said the Union Home Minister always used to lie in Parliament, claiming that there were no riots or blasts in the country under him. Our Home Minister always says in Parliament, there are no riots, there are no blasts, lying every time. Now, in front of his eyes, very close to his office, this blast happened. The government should come out with a clear-cut enquiry and should reveal the real reason to the nation, he said. Describing the balst as a failure of the BJP-led Union Government, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge demanded that the perpetrators of the terrorist act be given exemplary punishment so that it acts as a deterrent. It was unfortunate that such an incident happened in the national capital where top agencies, that are tasked with ensuring security, including the Intelligence Bureau functioned, Kharge pointed out. The culprits must be punished severely so that others should be afraid of doing it, he said adding his party would raise the issue in the Parliament next month, during the winter session. Now they have handed over the case to the National Intelligence Agency. Let the investigation report be out. The Parliament session will begin from December 1. After that we will see, Kharge added. On Monday evening, a high-intensity blast ripped through a slow moving car near Delhis Red Fort metro station, killing 12 people and injuring several others. The blast came hours after eight people, including three doctors connected to the university, were arrested, and 2,900 kilograms of explosives were seized in what investigators described as a white-collar terror module allegedly involving Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, spanning Kashmir, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
UP: Saharanpur doctor denies rumours of arrest, says cooperating in Delhi blast probe
Saharanpur (UP): Doctor Babar, a physician at the Famous Medicare Hospital in Saharanpur, on Wednesday denied rumours that he had been detained following the arrest of his colleague Dr Adil Ahmad, who is accused of having links with the proscribed terror outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed. Speaking to PTI , Dr Babar said he was very much present at the hospital and available to meet anyone. I am cooperating fully with the investigating agencies, but people should not spread false rumours, he said. He clarified that he has been working at the hospital for the past three years, while Dr Adil joined in March. I met him only after he joined the hospital. Before that, I had no acquaintance with him. His behaviour was polite and professional, and neither patients nor staff ever had a complaint against him, the general physician said. Expressing dismay over Adil's alleged involvement in terror activities, Babar said, It is painful that such educated people are indulging in shameful acts. About his participation in Adil's wedding, Dr Babar said, Four of us from the hospital had attended his marriage. We went as colleagues attending a fellow doctor's wedding, not that of a terrorist. He further said Adil had done his wedding shopping in Saharanpur and had even brought the items to the hospital on several occasions. We had reached Kashmir two days before the wedding to do some sightseeing. On the day of the baraat, we did not join the procession as only four people were allowed. We instead went out to see places, Dr Babar said. There was nothing suspicious about the atmosphere at the wedding, it was like any other traditional Muslim ceremony, he said, adding that Adil's wife is also an MD doctor. Adil was highly competent in his medical profession. His diagnosis and treatment were excellent, and patients always went back satisfied, Babar said, recalling that he last met Adil the day he was arrested. He had told me earlier that his mother was unwell and he might go home for a few days, he added. Babar said Adil never used a laptop and was only occasionally seen speaking on the phone during hospital hours. I visited his residence and nursing home a couple of times, but nothing about his work or lifestyle suggested he could be involved in anti-national activities, he said. He confirmed that the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force and other investigating agencies had questioned him and added, I am ready to cooperate with any agency that wants to talk to me. Dr Adil Ahmad, from Anantnag in Jammu and Kashmir, was arrested on November 7 by the Jammu and Kashmir Police with the assistance of local police and Special Operations Group (SOG). Investigators traced his movements in Saharanpur on November 11, where he had been working at Famous Hospital for the past six months. He earlier served at another private hospital in the city. Adil had been living in a rented house in Bapu Vihar Colony on Ambala Road. Locals described him as a quiet tenant who kept to himself but frequently received late-night visitors, with several vehicles often seen parked outside. The Jammu and Kashmir Police filed a case in Srinagar on October 28 after posters supporting the proscribed outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed appeared in several areas. CCTV footage allegedly showed Adil putting up the posters, leading investigators to trace him to Saharanpur. He was taken into custody from Famous Hospital and handed over to Srinagar Police on transit remand. Following his arrest, the medical facility terminated his employment and removed his nameplate, with hospital manager Dr Manoj Mishra saying that Adil had always appeared polite and professional, showing no signs of suspicious activity. A powerful blast near Delhi's Red Fort on November 10 left 12 people dead and more than 20 injured. The incident came days after a white-collar terror module, allegedly linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind, was busted in Faridabad and Haryana. Eight people, including three doctors associated with Al-Falah University in Faridabad, were arrested in the case, and large quantities of explosives were recovered during raids.

Jammu and Kashmir Police on Wednesday detained a preacher from Mewat, Haryana, in connection with the ongoing probe into a white-collar terror module allegedly operating out of Al Falah University in Faridabad. Officials identified the detained individual as Maulvi Ishtiyaq, who had been residing in a rented accommodation within the university complex.

Vande Mataram rendition to be mandatory in all UP schools: Yogi
LUCKNOW: Singing Vande Mataram will be made compulsory in educational institutions across Uttar Pradesh, CM Yogi Adityanath said on Monday. Addressing an Ekta Yatra (Unity March) event in Gorakhpur to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the national song, he said this step would inspire feelings of reverence and pride among citizens towards the motherland. There should be a sense of respect for Vande Mataram, he stressed, noting that anybody opposing the national song is insulting the countrys unity and integrity. Every citizen of India must stand united for this cause, the Chief Minister emphasised, adding, There is no point in opposing the Vande Mataram. No religion or caste can be greater than the country. We must set aside beliefs that hinder national unity. Notably, the move comes days after a political row erupted over the national song when Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that dropping key stanzas of the song in 1937 had sown the seeds of Partition and that such a divisive mindset remained a challenge for the country. The remarks were widely interpreted as an attack on the Congress. The BJP also accused the Congress of pandering to a communal agenda under Jawaharlal Nehrus leadership by adopting a truncated version of the song that year. The Congress hit back sharply, alleging that Modi had insulted the 1937 Congress Working Committee and Rabindranath Tagore, who had suggested adopting only the first two stanzas. National pride CM says move meant to inspire feelings of reverence and pride among citizens Accuses those against the move of hurting countrys unity and integrity Yogi stresses that no religion or caste can be greater than the country
