The West Bengal Special Task Force (STF) arrested an alleged Jaish‑e‑Mohammed operative on Thursday, after intelligence indicated he was planning an attack on Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari and a sabotage operation at a protest in Delhi.
According to the STF, the suspect, identified as Hamim Mondal, had devised a plan to disguise himself in a police uniform to carry out the attack and disrupt the demonstration at Jantar Mantar.
