Three terrorists including two from Pakistan were arrested by the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terror Squad (ATS), who had entered India illegally claiming to be Indian nationals.
The three terrorists were entering India using forged documents through Sheikh Farenda, a coastal village on the India-Nepal border. "UP ATS has been receiving inputs for some time that some Pakistani nationals, with the help of ISI, will be entering India through the Indo-Nepal border. They are planning to carry out terror activities in India and have also received training at Hizbul Mujahideen training camp," the UP ATS said in a press release. Based on the inputs, the UP ATS, Gorakhpur, while conducting electronic and physical surveillance, found that the two Pakistani terrorists were about to enter India. The three arrested terrorists have been identified as; Mohammad Altaf and Syed Ghazanfar from Pakistan and Nasir Ali from Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir. The police have registered a case against the arrested accused under sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 (B), 120 (B) and 121 (A) of the Indian Penal Code as well as under relevant sections of The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 and Foreigners Act, 1946.
