Aditya Singh Wa Taken Into Cu Tody From Howrah Di Trict, Where He Lived With Hi Family on Beliliou Road, a Police Officer Aid

Aditya Singh was taken into custody from Howrah district, where he lived with his family on Belilious Road, a police officer said. The STF had arrested Mondal from East Burdwan district on Friday and Arpita Sharma from Sahibganj in Jharkhand on Saturday for their alleged links to a Pakistan-based terror module run by Shahzad Bhatti. Police said Mondal was setting up a network in West Bengal and planned to target chief minister Suvendu Adhikari.

“Mondal was tasked with studying the movement pattern of West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari and identifying unguarded moments. Some police personnel and politicians were also being targeted. A minister from Howrah district was being targeted and Mondal was trying to honeytrap the minister’s son using Sarkar and abduct him, an officer said.

People familiar with the matter said the targeted minister was Umesh Rai, a legislator from Howrah North and a minister of state in the West Bengal government. Preliminary investigations suggested that Singh had shared information about Rai’s movements and pictures of Rai and his son, their residence and their vehicle with Mondal. “I don’t know anything.

He was a student of Umesh Chandra College in Kolkata. I don’t know why he was arrested, Singh’s mother said. “These are actual enemies of our society.

They help Pakistani terrorists in lieu of money, Rai said. Mondal also had instructions from the Bhatti gang to carry out subversive activities at Jantar Mantar where students protested over the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) paper leak and other alleged exam irregularities. The Bhatti gang works closely with the Pakistani intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and other terrorist organisations.”””
