Mumbai Man Arrested in Major Terror Network Bust
3 Jun
Summary
- Huzaifa was arrested in Mumbai by Maharashtra ATS and Delhi Police.
- He allegedly maintained contact with a Pakistan-based handler.
- The arrest is a significant step in probing a terror-underworld network.
Huzaifa was apprehended in Mumbai as part of a joint operation by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and the Delhi Police Special Cell. Investigators suspect Huzaifa was in communication with Syed Mudassar Hussain, also known as Munna Jhingada, who is reportedly based in Pakistan and is an associate of fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim.
Munna Jhingada is believed to have acted as the handler for several terror suspects previously arrested in connection with the case. Security agencies had conducted multiple raids across Maharashtra for three days prior to Huzaifa's arrest. Officials consider this a crucial development, as Huzaifa may hold vital information regarding the network's activities and contacts.
The Delhi Police Special Cell plans to seek a production warrant to bring Huzaifa to Delhi for further interrogation. The alleged terror module is under scrutiny for potential links to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and organized crime syndicates. Authorities are actively investigating Huzaifa's specific role and his alleged connections with other arrested individuals.
