Al-Qaeda linked module in Ranchi: Dr Ishtiaq, his associates wanted to form suicide squad, planning to turn India into Islamic Nation, Delhi Police finds

Ishtiaq had expanded his terrorist module to Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. He had purchased weapons from Lakhisarai in Bihar.

Al Qaeda-linked terrorist module’s head Dr. Ishtiaq who was caught from Ranchi in Jharkhand was preparing a suicide squad and had chosen a hilly area to execute his nefarious plan where he intended to bring his fellow terrorists and train them for the attacks. These shocking revelations were made by him and other accused in front of Delhi Police. According to media reports, Delhi Police’s Special Cell had recently reached Ranchi with Ishtiaq, Inamul Ansari, Shahbaz Ansari, Motiur Rahman and Altaf to know the extent of their preparation for executing their plans.

The terrorists told the authorities that they used to visit Nakata forest near Chanho village in Ranchi. This dense forest has no habitation around it and hence the activities happening inside the thick woods go unnoticed which is why it was considered the most suitable place to train terrorists. The perpetrators informed the cops that they were to be trained there to become suicide bombers along with learning how to handle weapons. They were following the orders of Dr. Ishtiaq who was responsible for their training. All of them wanted to bring Islamic rule to India.

Ishtiaq was the leader of the radical group. Some of these terrorists were reportedly sent to Rajasthan for similar training. The authorities also carried out searches in a madarsa. Jharkhand Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) carried out raids on 22nd August and arrested Ishtiaq and his associates. They are members of the Al Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) module. The development transpired based on a tip from Delhi Police.

Ishtiaq had expanded his terrorist module to Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. He had purchased weapons from Lakhisarai in Bihar. Raids were executed in Rajasthan. AK 47 rifle, .38 bore revolver, 6 live cartridges, 30 live cartridges of .32 bore, 30 cartridges of AK 47, dummy INSAS (Indian Small Arms System), air rifle, iron elbow pipe, hand grenade and other things were seized from there.
