Senior officials shared critical details about the suspects' connections to international terror networks. An official revealed, “The arrested accused were receiving direct instructions from foreign-based Zeeshan Akhtar and BKI mastermind Mannu Agwan, who is working closely with Pakistan-based operative Harwinder Rinda.

Charges Filed Under Multiple Legal Provisions
The police have registered an FIR against the accused under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including:
- Section 109
- Section 324(5)
- Section 61(2)
Additionally, sections 3, 4, and 5 of the Explosive Substances Act have also been invoked, marking the severity of the case. The FIR highlights the grave charges against the suspects and the nature of their alleged activities.

The investigation continues, aiming to strengthen national security and prevent future threats from similar terror networks. This case serves as a reminder of the critical need for proactive measures in countering extremist activities.
