Counter-terror Operation Details

Accused persons are Md Mizanur Rehman, Md Sefayat Hossain, Md Zahidul Islam, Md Liton, Md Uzzal, Umar Farruk and Rubiul Islam. All these accused have been arrested in a major counter-terror operation.

Delhi Police produced the accused persons before the court after police interrogation. Police had said the mobile phones of the accused are to be analysed, and their relation with other accused persons is also to be investigated. Bangladeshi IDs have also been recovered from the accsued persons.
