In a significant counter-terrorism operation, Rajasthan's Anti-Terrorism Squad has apprehended three individuals with suspected connections to the Islamic State (ISIS), marking the second major breakthrough in anti-terror operations within a week.
The arrests come just days after Delhi Police's Special Cell captured several alleged ISIS operatives, revealing what appears to be a coordinated effort to dismantle terror networks across northern India. Security agencies are investigating potential links between the two groups.
Coordinated Security Operations
According to senior security officials, the Rajasthan ATS acted on specific intelligence inputs to detain the three suspects who were allegedly in advanced stages of planning terrorist activities. The operation was conducted with precision to ensure no security breaches occurred during the apprehension.
"The timely detection and arrest of these suspects has potentially averted a major security crisis," revealed a senior police official familiar with the operation.
Growing Terror Concerns
This latest development highlights the ongoing challenges faced by Indian security agencies in combating radicalization and terror threats. The back-to-back operations in Delhi and Rajasthan indicate heightened alert levels across security establishments.
Intelligence sources suggest that the suspects were under surveillance for several weeks before the decisive action was taken. The investigation is now focusing on determining the extent of their network and identifying any potential collaborators.
Enhanced Security Measures
Following these arrests, security has been intensified at critical installations and public spaces across Rajasthan and neighboring states. Police and paramilitary forces have been placed on high alert to prevent any retaliatory actions.
Security analysts emphasize that these operations demonstrate improved intelligence sharing and coordination between state and central agencies, reflecting a more proactive approach to counter-terrorism.
The investigation continues as authorities work to uncover the complete scope of the alleged terror module and ensure all potential threats are neutralized.
