Security Forces Arrest 200 Operatives in Crackdown on ISI-Backed Terror Network
· India · Hindustan Times, Times of India, Zee News
Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced that security forces dismantled the ISI-backed Shahzad Bhatti terror network ahead of Independence Day. Coordinated operations conducted across 14 states resulted in the arrest of more than 200 operatives. Authorities recovered improvised explosive devices, grenades with Pakistan Ordnance Factory markings, pistols, live cartridges, and surveillance equipment during the crackdown. The operation involved the filing of over 80 FIRs to neutralize the group's plans for subversive attacks. The Union Home Minister cited the arrests as evidence of India's zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism.
Why it matters
The dismantling of this network prevents potential terror attacks across multiple states and disrupts a significant cross-border espionage and sabotage operation.
