The Maharashtra ATS has taken 21-year-old Yash Singh into custody from Navi Mumbai in connection with an active terror module. Security agencies have intensified their probe following this high-profile arrest, questioning the accused to unearth deeper conspiracies and identify his local contacts.
Recce of Israeli Targets and Synagogues
According to investigative agencies, Yash Singh carried out a detailed reconnaissance of sensitive Israeli locations across Mumbai. This notably included the Chabad House, which was previously targeted during the tragic 26/11 terror attacks. The accused also gathered specific intelligence on prayer halls frequented by Israeli nationals.
Expanding Reach of the Terror Network
Recent security findings indicate that the digital and ground network operated by Pakistan-based terrorist Shahzad Bhatti spans multiple states across the country. Operatives linked to this network have reportedly been assigned various tasks ranging from basic recce to handling weapons and coordinating attacks, prompting heightened security alerts across several regions including Delhi-NCR and Maharashtra.
Ongoing Interrogation and Investigation
The Maharashtra ATS is currently scrutinizing the digital footprints of Yash Singh, including his financial transactions, encrypted chat logs, and phone records. Investigators are trying to trace the financial trail behind these assignments and determine the identity of other accomplices working within this module.
