Assam Police Arrest Three Linked to Shahzad Bhatti Terror Network

The Assam Police successfully apprehended three individuals suspected of maintaining ties to the Pakistan-based Shahzad Bhatti terror network. During the coordinated operation, law enforcement seized critical digital and personal assets, including five mobile phones, seven SIM cards, and various bank documents. These items are currently being processed as evidence to further map the suspected network's activities within the region.

The arrests underscore the state's ongoing efforts to disrupt cross-border terror modules operating within India's Northeast. Security agencies have intensified surveillance following reports of local links to international handlers. The investigation continues to focus on uncovering the depth of the network’s penetration and the specific objectives of the individuals now in custody under the relevant anti-terror provisions.

The successful neutralisation of this cell highlights the increased inter-agency cooperation in identifying threats originating from external terror groups. As the investigation progresses, authorities aim to trace the financial and communication channels linked to the Shahzad Bhatti network. The intelligence gathered from the seized SIM cards and bank documents will prove pivotal in preventing further recruitment or logistical support for subversive activities in Assam and surrounding border areas.
