Debjit Mukherjee: Bihar Police busted a “potential terror module” planning to make India an Islamic nation by 2047. There was also a plot to target PM Modi during his visit on July 12. Police arrested two suspected terrorists in connection with this case – Athar Parvez and Md Jalaluddin.
According to sources, the two were being trained in Phulwari Sharif 15 days ahead of PM Modi’s visit. They held meetings on July 6 and 7 to plot ways to target PM Modi. The Bihar Police conducted raids at the Phulwari Sharif office of the suspected terrorists and found incriminating documents, one of them titled — ‘2047 India Towards Rule of Islamic India’. 25 PFI pamphlets were also recovered from them.
Investigations revealed that most of the youths who visited the place used to come from Kerala, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and many other states to take training in terror plotting.
Police have revealed that the arrested duo used to get money funding from many Islamic countries, including Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Turkey to run anti-national campaigns while staying in the country.
The NIA joined the Patna terror module probe and picked up a third suspect in this case, said sources.
