Apart from him, the others arrested were Minarul Sheikh, Md Abbas Ali (both from West Bengal), Nur Islam Mandal, Abdul Karim Mandal, Mojibar Rahman, Hamidul Islam and Enamul Hoque (all from Assam).“The incriminating documents and mobile phones with technical evidence seized from the arrested accused indicate their continuous communication across the border with Bangladesh and Pakistan-based entities over the last couple of months,” the Assam police said.“These sleeper cells were intended to serve as covert operational units, poised for subversive and violent activities,” the police said, adding the arrested persons played a pivotal role in aiding Md Sad Radi in his mission to identify, recruit and indoctrinate individuals who share or were inclined to similar fundamentalist ideologies. “By exploiting local vulnerabilities, religious sentiments and fault lines, they aimed to create a network capable of operating under the radar while remaining loyal to the broader objectives of their organization, to create disruption and chaos in India,” the Assam police further said.
