Gujarat Police Arrest Bhuj Man Over Alleged ISIS Propaganda Online

The case signals a tougher digital-security push focused on tracing possible network links.

Overview

  • West Kutch Special Operations Group identified Fakirmamad Isa Gagda of Lodai and registered a case at Paddhar Police Station after a social media probe.
  • Police say he repeatedly shared posts that urged an Islamic war, praised a caliphate, and invoked jihad over nearly four years.
  • Investigators seized his devices, opened a forensic review of his social media, and noted he used multiple Instagram and Facebook accounts under different names.
  • Officers are mapping his contacts and online groups to see if he is tied to a wider network, a step that follows recent ATS arrests over extremist WhatsApp groups.
  • Gujarat Police issued a public warning that platforms are under watch and that sharing provocative or anti-national content will bring strict legal action under the new criminal code.
