Abstract

A man named Faizan Sheikh has been arrested in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of the Madhya Pradesh Police. He is allegedly associated with the Indian Mujahideen (IM) and was planning a "lone wolf" attack on security forces. During the arrest, a significant amount of "jihadi literature" associated with extremist groups such as the IM and ISIS was seized, along with confiscated items including mobile phones, a pistol, live cartridges, and membership forms of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Investigations revealed that Sheikh had been spreading propaganda through social media and was planning to carry out an attack to prove himself as a mujahid. He has been sent to police remand after being produced before a district court in Khandwa. [Extracted from the article]
