Terrorists inspired by Al-Qaeda have been caught in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan by the Special Cell of Delhi Police and Bhiwadi Police. The joint team has arrested six terrorists from the Sarekalan village of Chaupanki police station area.
The arrested terrorists are not local. They were being brought here from other states of the country and given training in using arms and ammunition. The forest of Sareklan village was being used as a terrorist training centre. The news of a terrorist training centre running in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan created a sensation. A large quantity of weapons and other explosive materials have been recovered from the terrorists.
Bhiwadi seemed suitable for terrorists
The forests of Sarekalan village were considered suitable for terrorist training. This village is the last village situated on Ajmeri Naka of Rajasthan. The border of Haryana starts from here. Besides, there are inaccessible forests and hilly areas all around. Here there is no movement of common people and security forces coming from outside.
In the past too, there have been cases of bike theft and cow slaughter from here. Here, criminals escape by taking advantage of the borders of two states, but this time the matter is very big and serious.
There is a possibility of collusion at the local level in this matter also. Nearby villagers go to the forest to graze their animals. Hence the possibility is that everyone is aware if someone suspicious comes from outside in a rural area. How can the local people remain unaware of the firing that takes place during weapons training? At the same time, it is difficult to operate such a big centre of terrorism without local cooperation. In this way, the police are trying to connect to the local network.
Inspired by Al Queda terrorists
The intentions of the terrorist module inspired by the dreaded terrorist organization Al Qaeda, which was exposed by the Special Cell of Delhi Police, were very heart-wrenching. Most of the youth of this module were planning to go to Al Qaeda camps in Pakistan, Afghanistan and other countries for dangerous terrorist training.
According to Delhi Police officials, initial investigation has revealed that there are 25 to 30 youths in this module and all the youths have taken training in terrorist activities here. Some alleged terrorists of this module have done reiki in Delhi. So far 14 suspects have been detained. Eight terrorists were caught in Rajasthan and six from Jharkhand. According to the officers, there is every possibility that some more youth in the module will be caught soon.
Head of terrorists caught in Jharkhand
Raids have also been conducted in UP and Jharkhand to catch terrorists. 130 to 150 police officers and soldiers of the special cell were engaged in raids across the country till late Monday night. They caught Ishtiaq who is a doctor by profession. He is a famous radiologist from Ranchi. Moreover, he is the kingpin of this terrorist module.
It is being told that module leader Dr Ishtiaq was influenced by Al Qaeda for a long time. He was in contact with some bosses of Al Qaeda. It is being told that a few years ago he had come in contact with an Al Qaeda terrorist. After this, he started on the path of terrorism. Furthermore, his objective was to mislead as many youths as possible into terrorists so that they could destroy on a large scale in the country.
Ishtiaq also ran a madrasa in Ranchi. In this Madrasa, he was also engaged in misleading the youth and diverting them to the path of terrorism. The doctor misled the youth in the Madrasa in the name of religion and he set up a module by pushing the youths on the path of terrorism. 25 to 30 youths have been identified in this entire module. However, the identity of the captured terrorists has been hidden.
Most of the youth arrested/detained and associated with this entire terrorist module linked to Al Qaeda are residents of Ranchi. Due to this, the module quickly came in contact with the kingpin. None of the arrested accused youths are highly educated. Some of them run a shop and some do small jobs.
IG took a meeting
The Special Cell of Delhi Police seized the captured terrorists, weapons and other important materials and took them with them. Information regarding how long the training centre was running in the area is unavailable. Since the matter is related to terrorism, even senior police officials are avoiding telling much about the said module.
After such a big module of terrorism was caught in the area, IG Anil Kumar Tank took a meeting. Took information about this from SP Jyestha Maitreyi and other senior officials. Instructed to strengthen the security arrangements in the area and keep an eye on suspicious activities.
