Two more men have been arrested by Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Friday in connection with the seizure of a large scale arms and explosives from Hindutva Terrorist’s home in Mumbai.
Vasudev Suryawanshi (29) and Vijay alias Bhaiyya Lodhi (32) have been arrested on the charges of providing vehicles to other accused to conduct reconnaissance of various places.
Incriminating documents, including maps, were seized from two, who would be produced before a court on Sunday, the ATS official said.
Five other persons, belonging to a terrorist organisation called Sanatan Sanstha, have been arrested for possessing a large cache of arms and explosives. Sanatan Sanstha is "a nationwide terror organisation and members of these groups are Active in many states", said an ATS officer to Republic TV.
"All the groups of this terror organisation work secretly. One group doesn't know about the activity of other groups. In the last ten years, this right-wing fringe terror group have learnt from their mistakes and now, they are more matured in bomb-making. The accused have travelled to many states including Goa," added the ATS.
According to The Asian Age,”Last month, the ATS arrested Vaibhav Raut, Sharad Kalaskar, Sudhanwa Gondhalekar, Shrikant Pangarkar and Avinash Pawar following seizure of explosive materials and arms from various places in the state. Some of the accused were allegedly linked to radical Hindu groups, ATS had said. Among other things, they were planning to target a western music festival in Pune, it had said.”
