Mumbai: The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) is probing an international WhatsApp group and its suspected connection to the militant organisation Hizbul Mujahideen, sources reported. Five locations in Maharashtra are under search as part of the investigation. The agency is questioning individuals to collect information on the group's members, their communications and potential contacts.
The group reportedly has members from several countries, including Pakistan and Gulf nations. During questioning on Monday, an Arabic teacher and her family in Ratnagiri district had their mobile phones seized for forensic examination. The ATS is exploring a potential link between the WhatsApp group and Hizbul Mujahideen, but has not yet confirmed such a connection. Further details are anticipated as the probe continues.
