Maharashtra’s Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) have arrested a suspected terrorist who had undergone training in weapon handling, explosive-making, suicide attacks in Pakistan.

Announcing the terror suspect’s arrest on Sunday, a senior ATS officer said: “Acting on a tip-off that a man had returned to Mumbai after undergoing terror training in Pakistan, the ATS’ Juhu unit arrested the suspect on Friday. Thereafter we produced him before a court and obtained his custody till May 21”. The investigations have revealed that a wanted bomb blast accused had called the arrested suspect to Sharjah, where he stayed for a few days. “From Sharjah, the arrested suspect flew to Dubai and then to Karachi. In Karachi, he underwent training in weapon handling, explosive making and suicide attacks,” the officer said.
