Suspected JeM operative arrest leads Bengal STF to Jharkhand woman gathering info on politicians
Police said Arpita Sarkar was linked to a honey-trap network that gathered personal information on political leaders for a suspected terror module.
- On Friday, the West Bengal Police's Special Task Force arrested Arpita Sarkar in Sahibganj, Jharkhand, for her alleged involvement with suspected Jaish-e-Mohammed operative Mohammad Hamim Mondal.
- Police arrested Mondal on Thursday in Bardhaman, accusing him of plotting an attack against West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and linking him to 2019 Pulwama mastermind Sajjad Bhat.
- Investigators allege Sarkar used 'honey-trap' tactics to lure targets and gather sensitive information on political figures, with officials recovering WhatsApp chats between her and Mondal.
- Sarkar was brought to Purba Bardhaman for a court appearance Saturday as the STF examines digital evidence to determine if the collected information was intended to facilitate terror attacks.
- Mondal was reportedly expanding an ISI-backed JeM network across India, specifically targeting Bharatiya Janata Party leaders, with Chief Minister Adhikari stating the matter will be thoroughly investigated.
