A search operation has also been conducted at his present address at Ramesh Park in Laxmi Nagar.

The suspect has been arrested under relevant sections of the UAPA Act, Explosives Act, and Arms Act, the official said.

Pertinently, this major arrest comes nearly a month after the Special Cell, on September 14, busted a Pakistan-based terror module and arrested seven suspected terrorists, including two people who were trained by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).

The ISI had trained the two terrorists to blow bridges and railway tracks in order to cause mass casualties in India.

The arrested terrorists were planning to carry out terror attacks in the country during this festival season.

All the suspects are currently in police custody.
