Militant held by Assam Police under ‘Operation Praghat’

Guwahati, Jan 19: A person, suspected to be a member of a fundamentalist terror group, was arrested in Assam’s Dhubri district, a police spokesperson said on Sunday.

The arrest was made by the state police’s Special Task Force (STF) as part of ‘Operation Praghat’, an ongoing multi-state exercise against terrorists, fundamentalists and terror networks.

The spokesperson said, “One Jaheer Ali, a ‘jehadi’, was apprehended from Khudigaon village under the Bilasipara police station limits.”
