In a major operation in Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar district, the police have arrested a youth involved in anti-national activities. The accused youth had been in contact with a Pakistan-based terrorist, Shahzad Bhatti, for a long time.
According to Station House Officer (SHO) Gurmel Singh Brar, the arrested accused has been identified as Akashdeep (19), son of Peera Singh, a resident of Kesrisinghpur who was currently residing in Chak Kera. The accused, Akashdeep, had been in contact with the Pakistan-based terrorist Shahzad Bhatti for an extended period. He was constantly communicating with him via social media platforms such as Instagram and WhatsApp.
He stated that police investigations revealed the accused had conducted reconnaissance of several sensitive and crowded locations at the terrorist’s behest; he would record videos of these sites, send them to Pakistan, and receive monetary compensation in return.
The police have seized a Realme mobile phone from the accused’s possession, which contained significant evidence of suspicious activities. An examination of the mobile phone revealed that the accused maintained an Instagram account. Through this ID, the accused, Akashdeep, was facilitating voice chats and the exchange of information between individuals in India and Pakistan. Additionally, evidence was found indicating that information had been shared with phone numbers bearing the international country code +92.
The investigation also revealed that the accused, utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI), had generated fake photographs of himself alongside the terrorist Shahzad Bhatti and subsequently posted them on social media. WhatsApp chat logs also provided indications that the accused had initiated contact with numbers in Pakistan and had received responses.
During interrogation, Akashdeep confessed that, acting on the terrorist’s instructions, he had conducted reconnaissance of several key locations across Punjab, Rajasthan, Delhi, Chandigarh, and Ambala (Haryana). He admitted to recording videos of these locations and transmitting them to Pakistan via WhatsApp, as well as sharing details regarding the access routes to these sites.
The police suspect that the accused may also have links to the RDX, IEDs, and other explosive materials recently recovered in Ambala, which were believed to have been smuggled into India from Pakistan via drones. Currently, the police are subjecting the accused to intensive interrogation, and the search for others linked to this network is ongoing.
