The Haryana Anti‑Terrorism Squad busted an international narcotics‑terror link, arresting seven suspects in a coordinated operation.
The Anti‑Terrorism Squad (ATS) of Haryana announced that a joint operation led to the arrest of seven individuals suspected of being part of an international narco‑terror network. The arrests were made across multiple locations in the state as part of a coordinated sweep aimed at disrupting the group's illicit activities.
Investigators said the seized evidence points to a cross‑border network that combined drug trafficking with terror financing, raising concerns about the infiltration of organized crime into extremist circles. While details of the suspects' foreign links remain under investigation, authorities emphasized the threat such collaborations pose to national security.
The ATS has launched further inquiries to trace the full extent of the network and to identify any additional accomplices. Senior police officials assured the public that the crackdown is part of a broader effort to curb narcotics‑related terrorism and will continue until all cells are neutralised.
