The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) has arrested three individuals for allegedly plotting a major terrorist attack involving ricin poison. The suspects, Dr Ahmed Mohiyuddin Saiyed, Azad Suleman Sheikh, and Mohammad Suhail Khan, were apprehended on November 9. Investigators recovered digital literature titled 'How to Stay Anonymous' from a conversation between Saiyed and his handler, linked to the Islamic State Khorasan Province. CCTV footage from November 7 shows Saiyed leaving a hotel in Ahmedabad. Additionally, a black flag was seized from Khan's residence in Uttar Pradesh. Searches at the suspects' homes yielded two Glock pistols, a Beretta pistol, 30 live cartridges, and four litres of castor oil. The suspects are believed to have conspired to exchange weapons and carry out terrorist activities in Gujarat.
