New Delhi. Modi government has taken major action against the terrorist group 'Shahzad Bhatti Network' supported by Pakistani intelligence agency ISI. More than 200 people have been arrested from 14 states by conducting a campaign against the terror module. Union Home Minister Amit Shah himself has given this information. Amit Shah said that the Modi government dismantled the ISI-backed Shehzad Bhatti network before Independence Day and foiled its dangerous attack plans by arresting more than 200 of its members.
According to the Union Home Minister, Indian security forces have succeeded in dismantling this network by conducting simultaneous operations at different places in 14 states, which is a great example of India's 'zero-tolerance' policy towards terrorism. A huge quantity of IEDs, grenades with Pakistan Ordnance Factory marking, pistols, live cartridges and CCTV cameras used for espionage and many other items have been recovered from the ISI-funded Shehzad Bhatti group. People associated with this network were involved in terrorist activities and were continuously conspiring against India. Action has been taken against the arrested accused under UAPA, Arms Act, NDPS Act and Explosive Substances Act.
