‘These cadres are Bangladesh nationals and were illegally staying in India without a passport and obtained Indian documents to spread terror network in Assam. These cadres visited Guwahati to mobilise and radicalise the gullible Muslim youth of Assam and India to join the terror outfit and indulge in terror acts,’ Assam police said in a statement.
Aadhaar and PAN cards, suspected to be fake, were seized from them. They illegally entered India to radicalise the youth. A case has been registered under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the Passport Act, 1920, and the Foreigners Act, 1946. Last year, several modules of the ABT were busted in Assam.
