Maharashtra ATS ne Shahzad Bhatti terror network se jude 18 alleged associates ki pehchan ki, online recruitment aur sleeper cells ka shak.

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) ne Pakistan-based Shahzad Bhatti network se jude kam se kam 18 alleged associates ki pehchan ki hai.

13 October 2026 ko saamne aayi report ke mutabik, jaanch agencies ko shak hai ki is network ke log Facebook, Instagram, Telegram aur WhatsApp ke zariye Indian youth se sampark kar rahe hain.

Aarop hai ki naujawanon ko paise ka lalach dekar sensitive locations ki videos banane, information jama karne aur doosri suspicious activities mein shamil karne ki koshish ki ja rahi hai.

ATS ko yeh bhi shak hai ki network local level par sleeper cells banane aur propaganda phailane ki koshish kar raha hai.

Maharashtra ATS ne naujawanon aur parents se appeal ki hai ki unknown social-media accounts, aasani se zyada paise kamane ke offers aur suspicious online tasks se savdhaan rahein.

Agar kisi ki activity par shak ho, toh authorities ko inform karein aur aise content ko bina jaanch aage forward na karein.

Gaurtalab hai ki Central Government ne 16 September 2026 ko Shahzad Bhatti Network ko Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) ke tahat terrorist organisation declare kiya tha.
