The Uttar Pradesh Anti‑Terror Squad (UP ATS) conducted a raid on the home of a Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and a madrasa located in West Bengal on Tuesday. The operation was part of a broader investigation into alleged terror‑financing activities linked to the TMC.\n\nAccording to police reports, officers seized documents and electronic devices from the premises, which were seized for further examination. The raid was carried out with a special task force and was coordinated with the West Bengal police.\n\nThe TMC leader, whose identity has not been disclosed, is alleged to have been involved in channeling funds to extremist groups. The madrasa, a religious school, is also under scrutiny for its alleged role in facilitating financial transfers.\n\nThe UP ATS has stated that the operation is a continuation of its ongoing efforts to curb terror financing across the country. No arrests were reported during the raid, but investigators are expected to file charges once the evidence is fully analyzed.
