Urgent Alert: Terror Module Busted in Gujarat. In a chilling development, the Gujarat Anti‐Terrorism Squad (ATS) has shattered a dangerous network, arresting three men who were allegedly planning terrorist attacks across India. On Sunday, the ATS announced that the suspects—identified as Ahmed Mohiuddin Syed, Mohammad Suhel, and Azad—were apprehended near the Adalaj Toll Plaza in Gujarat while supplying weapons. Among the arms seized were two Glock pistols, one Beretta pistol, 30 live cartridges and 4 litres of castor oil—apparently intended for chemical‐poison manufacture. Disturbingly, the ATS revealed that one of the accused, Ahmed Mohiuddin, holds an MBBS from China and had reportedly made contact with foreign operatives including a Telegram ID linked to Islamic State – Khorasan Province (ISKP). Investigations indicate that he was actively working toward synthesising ricin, a lethal chemical derived from castor-bean waste materials. Furthermore, the two other suspects from #UttarPradesh — Azad and Suhel — allegedly had “deeni” (religious) education, deep online connections abroad, and engaged in reconnaissance in several major cities including #Lucknow, #Delhi and Ahmedabad. The root causes are complex but clear. #Extremist ideologies are increasingly leveraging online platforms, foreign contacts and vulnerable recruits with outward‐looking networks. The availability of cheap, dangerous chemical precursors like castor oil and weapons routes operating across states create fertile ground. The trio’s ties abroad and local footprints reflect a broader shift: #terror cells are becoming more agile, mobile and deeply networked. Unless intelligence, policing and community awareness ramp up, such plots will continue to emerge.
