Overview
- The accused, Babita Dhakad alias Khadija, was sent to judicial custody after a seven-day Rajasthan ATS remand ended Saturday and is due back in court on June 29.
- Investigators say military intelligence monitored her in the Sitapura and Vatika areas of Jaipur for months before the ATS arrested her last week.
- Forensic examination of her mobile reportedly found several Pakistan-based contact numbers, two numbers suspected to be linked to JeM operatives, a pseudonymous Facebook account with more than 300 foreign contacts, and a profile displaying the JeM flag.
- Security sources allege months of online grooming and possible plans for explosives training and illegal migration to Pakistan, but those specific claims remain under investigation and have not been proven in court.
- The probe has been expanded to include central intelligence agencies that are tracing digital, financial and logistical links to identify other contacts or networks and to determine whether further arrests or charges will follow.
