The Q Branch of the Delhi Police, in collaboration with Tamil Nadu Police, apprehended six Bangladeshi individuals in Tirupur district on charges of promoting Pakistan-based terror groups on social media and residing in India without proper documentation. The arrests followed intelligence reports of inflammatory online activities and suspected links with extremist elements from across the border.
A team from Delhi Police’s Q Branch, along with Tirupur district police, carried out raids at three locations in Tirupur to detain the suspects. The arrested individuals, namely Mijanur Rahman, Mohammad Shabat, Umar, Mohammad Litan, Mohammad Shahid, and Mohammad Ujjal, were taken into custody without any resistance.
During the raids, law enforcement officials confiscated eight mobile phones and 16 SIM cards believed to have been used for sharing content in support of banned terrorist organizations and communicating with potential handlers. The seized devices have been forwarded for forensic analysis to uncover communication records and potential ties to larger networks.
Initial investigations revealed that the six detainees had been residing and working in Tirupur for a considerable period, employed in garment manufacturing units in Uthukuli, Thirumuruganpoondi, and Palladam regions. It was disclosed that the accused were living in India without valid passports or visas, with suspicions of using forged Aadhaar cards to secure employment and accommodation.
Authorities are currently conducting further interrogations to determine the full scope of their activities and ascertain any involvement in organized networks. Security agencies have heightened surveillance and verification efforts in the area to monitor potential illicit operations.
