ATS Arrests 5 Suspects Ahead of Rath Yatra; Probe into Jaish-e-Mohammed Links

Anti‑Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested five individuals on the eve of the Rath Yatra procession. The arrests were made after intelligence reports suggested the suspects might be involved in a planned attack. The detentions were carried out in a coordinated operation that involved several security agencies. Authorities are now probing alleged links between the suspects and the militant group Jaish‑e‑Mohammed. The investigation is being conducted under the purview of the Central Bureau of Investigation, with the ATS leading the on‑ground work.
