Overview
- Special Task Force officers, with local police support, conducted a Tuesday night operation in the Sorbhog police station area and detained two suspects.
- Assam Police say interrogations are underway and they plan to release further details after questioning concludes.
- Some reports cite unverified specifics, including the recovery of Pakistani SIM cards and the identification of one suspect as Sahidul Islam, with both reportedly moved to Guwahati for further interrogation.
- The latest action follows earlier arrests in December in Assam and Tripura of individuals alleged to have ties to Bangladesh‑based fundamentalist groups.
- Investigations into prior cases pointed to a wider network linked by authorities to IMK and an offshoot of JMB that allegedly used encrypted platforms and a Telegram group called Purba Akash to spread propaganda and recruit youths.
