Guwahati: Assam police caught a 21-year-old man on Wednesday, August 26, in the Ramnathpur area of Hailakandi. The Special Task Force and local officers tracked him down together. This arrest follows a wider investigation into the Pakistan-based Shahzad Bhatti Network. He is the fourth person captured in connection to this group since July 25.
Police found several documents on the suspect during the raid. Previous arrests occurred in Dhubri, Chirang, and Barpeta districts. Officials say the network orchestrates IED blasts, grenade attacks, and targeted killings throughout India. These operatives scout police stations, military installations, and religious sites. They also install hidden cameras to spy on sensitive locations.
The agency claims the arrest is part of their "sustained investigation and action against extremist and anti-national networks and their operatives." The network reportedly pays locals to carry out these hostile acts.
