Guwahati: Two suspected terrorists have been arrested from Barpeta district of Assam. They have been identified as Akbar Ali and Abul Kalam Azad. Their links are being connected to the Islamic terrorist group Al Qaeda (AQIS) and the 'Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT)'. Barpeta Superintendent of Police Amitabh Sinha has told 'Police have launched an eviction drive in a madrasa in Barpeta because it was illegally built on government land. The two suspected jihadists arrested have links to Al Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT).'
According to Additional Deputy Commissioner Lachit Kumar Das, 'This madrasa is indulging in anti-national activities, jihadi activities. Investigation has revealed that this madrasa is built on government land and has no owner. So we decided to demolish it immediately.' After the arrest of two suspected terrorists from Barpeta district, Chief Minister Sarma told the press that, 'This is the second madrasa, which we demolished. Because they were not running as an institution, but as a terror centre. I don't want to generalise, but when there is a complaint of fundamentalism, we investigate and take legal action.'
A police officer has told that 'Akbar Ali and Abul Kalam Azad were interrogated overnight on Saturday night (August 27, 2022) in custody, after which both were arrested on August 28. They were produced in a local court, from where they have been sent to 10-day police custody.'
