New Delhi. The team of Gujarat ATS and Faridabad STF have arrested a suspected terrorist from Faridabad while carrying out the joint operation. He is originally from Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh, his name is Abdul Rahman. Two hand grenades have been recovered from him. Abdul had been living in Faridabad for the past several days by hiding identity. According to the ATS, Abdul Rahman was in touch with the Pakistani intelligence agency ISI and was preparing to attack the Ayodhya Ram temple. He has also done the Reiki of Ram temple many times. He is currently being questioned. A photo of Abdul Rahman has also been released by the ATS.
The ATS team said that on the basis of sources of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and other security agencies, they got information about Abdul Rahman. When the team reached Faridabad, the suspect attempted to escape after seeing the police but was caught. The ATS and STF believe that this conspiracy may include many more people besides Abdul Rahman. On the basis of questioning Abdul, information about other suspects is being collected.
Abdul is just 19 years old. He found hand grenades by a handler of ISI which he hid in a ruin. He was about to go to Ayodhya for these hand grenades, but he was arrested before that. Currently these hand grenades have been defused by the bomb disposal squad. After the initial inquiry, the ATS team is now preparing to take him to Gujarat. This is considered to be a huge success for the ATS team, which has thwarted the conspiracy to attack the Ram temple.
