Maharashtra ATS has arrested four terror suspects from Nanded district for their alleged links with the accused arrested in Bengaluru recently, an ATS official said here on Saturday.
"We have arrested four persons, who have links with the terror suspects arrested in Bangalore," ATS chief Rakesh Maria said.
However, Maria refused to divulge any further details. According to police sources, following the arrest of the terror suspects in Bengaluru by the local police, they had shared some information with Maharashtra ATS officials, which has resulted in the arrest of these four in Nanded.
The four suspects were picked up from various parts of Nanded district in south-east Maharashtra since past two days following a tip-off about their possible involvement in terror activities.
In a major operation two days back, Bengaluru Police had arrested 11 persons including a DRDO scientist and a journalist with suspected links to Lashkar-e-Taiba and HUJI and claimed to have foiled their plot to target MPs, MLAs and mediapersons in Karnataka.
