The head of the Al Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) module, exposed by Delhi Police’s Special Cell, NIA, Jharkhand ATS, and other security agencies is Dr. Ishtiaq, who works in a hospital in Ranchi. Ishtiaq was also training terrorists for attacks, out of which 6 terrorists have been caught training in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. So far, 8 terrorists have been arrested from different parts of Jharkhand and one terrorist has been arrested from UP. So far, 16 terrorists of this module have been arrested by the security forces.
Links of Al Qaeda Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) terrorist Dr. Ishtiaq are also connected to the land scam that led to former Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren’s arrest. According to ETV Bharat’s report, ED has summoned a person named Bablu Khan in this case. ED is now investigating whether the terrorist organization has been funded from the money earned from the land scam, since Bablu Khan is a relative of Afsar Khan and Talha Khan, who are in jail in the land scam.
At the same time, Dr. Ishtiaq has been associated with Bablu Khan’s hospital. Both of them are also family relatives. Along with this, Afsar Ali and Talha Khan are charge-sheeted in the army land scam and the land scam related to Hemant Soren. In such a situation, ED has also turned its investigation towards terrorism funding. Now by interrogating Bablu Khan, ED and other agencies will find out whether the money from the land scam was used to fund terrorist activities.
