The operation, part of a larger nationwide crackdown, spanned several states including Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.
The mission was conducted in the Krishnai area, where the security forces, after days of careful surveillance and tactical planning, raided suspected militant hideouts. The suspects are now being interrogated at a secret location.
Speaking to the media, the Assam chief stated, "Today there was a nationwide movement against Islamic fundamentalists. The Assam Police was responsible for arresting eight people. We have arrested these eight people and handed them over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA)."
The detainees are believed to have been actively involved in recruiting, raising funds and planning attacks for JeM. The NIA has promised to reveal more details as the investigation deepens, with more revelations expected soon.
