Maharashtra ATS Conducts Extensive Raids in Shrirampur Over Alleged ISI-Linked and Mumbai Underworld Network; Four Individuals Detained

According to intelligence sources, the action targeted premises associated with individuals believed to have links with persons already under scrutiny in the case. During the operation, ATS officials detained four individuals for questioning. They have been undergoing interrogation for approximately 10 hours as investigators attempt to establish the nature and extent of their alleged involvement.

Sources further indicated that preliminary inputs suggest certain detained individuals were in contact with Pakistan-based gangsters through social media platforms. Investigators suspect that communications may have taken place with identified Pakistan-based criminal figures, including Bhatti and Rana. These alleged interactions have intensified concerns over a possible coordinated network operating across borders.

The ATS is currently examining multiple layers of digital evidence, including social media chats, call detail records, and other forms of electronic communication, to determine whether the suspected network had any operational linkage with Mumbai underworld elements and ISI-supported activities. Authorities are focusing on mapping the communication trail and identifying any potential coordination between domestic and foreign-based operatives.

As of now, the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad has not issued any official statement regarding the raids or the ongoing investigation. However, the probe continues actively, with agencies closely analyzing all technical and intelligence inputs to ascertain the broader scope of the alleged network.

The development underscores growing security concerns over potential convergence between organized crime networks and foreign intelligence-linked operatives, highlighting the expanding scope of digital communication in facilitating covert connections.
