Bhopal, Apr 1 (PTI) Police have arrested three men in Madhya Pradesh’s Raltam district for their alleged links with three persons held earlier in Rajasthan for allegedly planning to carry out terror attacks, an official said on Friday.
The Madhya Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) and local police arrested the three men in Ratlam, who are associates of the trio rounded up in Chittorgarh, he said.
“The arrests in MP came after three local residents of Ratlam – Sarfuddin alias Saifulla, Zubair and Altmas – were arrested with 12 kg explosives in Rajasthan’s Chittorgarh,” Ratlam Superintendent of Police Abhishek Tiwari confirmed to PTI over phone.
The trio arrested in Rajasthan was involved in murders in Ratlam in 2014 and 2017, he said.
“We had picked up around 50 people after the trio was arrested in Chittorgarh. But we let off some of them after interrogation and arrested three only so far,” he added.
However, Tiwari did not give the names of the three accused arrested.
Police sources said that the state government is planning to raze the illegal constructions of the six accused from Ratlam.
Rajasthan police had said that they had recovered 12 kg explosives, three battery clocks, three connector wires, six bulbs and a jeep from the possession of three accused during patrolling on Wednesday night in Chittorgarh district. The trio had links with the extremist Al Soofa organisation of Ratlam, they had said. PTI LAL NP NP
