Five More Arrested in Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad Probe Into Alleged JeM Module; Total Accused Rises to 13

Police said one suspect allegedly tried to make a time bomb, and JeM literature and bomb-making material are still being recovered.

  • On Friday, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad announced the arrest of five more individuals allegedly linked to the banned Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed , bringing total accused in the case to 13.
  • These arrests followed the July 3 detention of eight alleged JeM operatives across Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, as investigators identified the new suspects while probing the group's attempts to establish an active terror network.
  • The ATS alleged the group operated from Jamia Abul Hasan Madrasa in Patan district since 2023, where members reportedly learned to assemble improvised explosive devices and circulated extremist literature including 'Akela Mujahid Jihad Kaise Kare.'
  • Judicial Magistrate R M Bhatia remanded the five suspects to ATS custody until July 24 following their court appearance in Mehsana district, where police sought remand to recover bomb-making materials and literature.
  • Investigators recovered a JeM flag, printed books by chief Masood Azhar, and ₹1.3 lakh in cash, which the ATS suspects were intended to finance the module's alleged operations.
