Assam Police has carried out a major crackdown on terrorists. State police busted a terror module operating in Morigaon. According to the information, jihadi activities were being carried out in a madrasa here. Mufti Mustafa and 8 other Maulavis are arrested by Assam police.
The terror module was operating from a madrasa and was reportedly planning a major attack in the state.

The Morigaon police arrested him on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at night after conducting a search operation at the madrasa and other residences in Moirabari. The madrasa has also been sealed by the police.
Mufti Mustafa is said to be the mastermind of the terror module. He runs the Jami-ul-Huda madarasa since 2018 in Moirabari. The police also seized several incriminating documents along with mobile phones, bank passbooks, and other material from Mufti Mustafa’s possession.
