How 3 JeM Terrorists Were Arrested After Six-Month Covert Operation

Delhi Police arrested three suspected operatives of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror group and recovered explosives after a six-month covert operation on Wednesday, possibly thwarting a series of planned blasts in the Capital.

Special commissioner of police (Special Cell) Arvind Deep said that the three men — Sajid, Sameer and Shakir Ansari — were making improvised explosive devices (IED) to strike markets and crowded places in the city.

The trio was arrested during late-night raids in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh after a police informer managed to infiltrate the group. Police said the alleged mastermind, Sajid, was in touch with JeM leader ‘Tallah’, who says he is the brother of the terror outfit’s founder, Masood Azhar.
