Two men were detained by Rajasthan police on charges of having links with the Pakistan‑based militant group Jaish, authorities said ahead of the country’s Independence Day.
Two suspects were taken into custody by Rajasthan police on Thursday, shortly before the nation’s Independence Day celebrations. The arrests were made in the state’s capital after intelligence reports linked the men to the Pakistan‑based militant outfit Jaish.
Jaish, known for its extremist activities in the Kashmir region, has been designated a terrorist organization by several countries. The Rajasthan police claim the detainees were involved in planning or supporting operations that could threaten national security.
The police spokesperson stated that the arrests were part of a broader counter‑terrorism effort and that the suspects are currently being interrogated under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
The incident underscores the heightened vigilance by Indian security agencies as the country approaches its 75th Independence Day, with authorities warning against any attempts to destabilise the nation.
