Gujarat ATS

However, the sinister biological warfare (bio war) or bioterrorism plot busted by Gujarat ATS is a concerning exposé. After IEDs, shootings, bomb blasts and Islamic radicalisation, India faces the ‘toxic threat’. The ISIS-linked jihadists arrested had prepared to use Ricin as part of their plan to cause mass casualties.

On Tuesday, officials informed that the Indian Coast Guard seized 300 kg of narcotics worth 1,800 crore in a joint operation with the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) off the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL). The joint operation with the ICG and Gujarat ATS was conducted on April 12- April 13.

The drug bust was jointly conducted by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) and the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). The drugs seized included 562 kg of cocaine and 40 kg of marijuana.

“Since he (Azhari) is an accused in this offence, his activities in addition to his Trust’s activities and financing will be investigated in detail,” SP Jat said adding that more stringent sections will be added in the case depending upon the findings of the investigation.

The suspects were also in touch with foreign handlers. They had acquired a pistol and ten rounds of ammunition. We suspect that they were planning to commit some terror-related activity.

According to reports, the accused is guided by handlers named Shariful Islam and Shayba, who are the district leaders of a terrorist group in Bangladesh's Mymensingh district.

The accused, Nilesh Walia, fell prey to a honey trap and subsequently leaked crucial information of BSF to Pakistan in exchange for money.
