According to investigators, the group's key member, Ashraf Danish, was operating the module from India while maintaining contact with Pakistan-based individuals via encrypted and social media platforms. The probe has revealed that the suspects used these channels to radicalise youth in India and recruit them into their network.

Police sources told ANI the group also ran multiple online groups aimed at spreading communal hatred and disturbing religious harmony.

Raids were conducted across four to five states as part of a major counterterrorism operation, during which nearly eight suspects were questioned, according to officials. So far, five individuals have been arrested on suspicion of terrorism-related activities, including two from Delhi and one each from Madhya Pradesh, Hyderabad, and Ranchi.

The Delhi Police Special Cell recovered hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfur powder, copper sheets, ball bearings, strip wires, electronic circuits, laptops, mobile phones, and cash from him. Authorities believe these items were intended for the fabrication of weapons and explosives.
