Guwahati: Personnel of the Special Task Force (STF), in collaboration with Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu Police, caught a key operative of the ABT (Ansarullah Bangla Team) and JuM (Jamaat ul Mujahideen) in Chennai yesterday. Abu Salam Ali, son of Kuddus Ali, hails from Khudigaon Part-II, under Bilasipara police station in the Dhubri district. Abu Salam had been on the run since December 17, 2024, when the STF had arrested several ABT and JuM operatives. Investigations have uncovered that the arrested operative played a crucial role in the conspiracy, working in close coordination with Nur Islam Mandal and Shahinur Islam, aimed at strengthening extremist factions. Their intent was unmistakable-to undermine national security, disturb peace, and endanger India's sovereignty. This arrest represents yet another significant stride in breaking the network of radical elements determined to spread unrest and threaten the nation's integrity.
The investigation is under Operation Praghat, which targets fundamentalist networks and Global Terrorist Organisations (GTO) nationwide.
