The weapon and ammunition were allegedly seized from accused Zeeshan Ali's house in Noida, they said, adding that an ATS team, acting on information revealed by him, had taken him to his residence in Noida.
The Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) on Tuesday said that it has recovered a pistol and three live cartridges from the house of one of the five persons it earlier arrested for allegedly being associated with banned terrorist group Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS). The weapon and ammunition were allegedly seized from accused Zeeshan Ali's house in Noida, they said, adding that an ATS team, acting on information revealed by him, had taken him to his residence in Noida. On July 22, the Gujarat ATS had apprehended four persons — Fardin Sheikh, Saifulla Qureshi, Mohammad Faiq and Zeeshan Ali — for their involvement in advancing the agenda of the AQIS through social media platforms by allegedly undertaking Ghazwa-e-Hind, provoking India's Muslim community to engage in violent acts against non-Muslims, advocating armed revolt against the elected government, and pushing for an Islamic Sharia-based regime. Legal action was initiated under Sections 13, 18, 38, and 39 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), 1967, and Sections 113, 152, 196, and 61 of the BNS. Then on July 27, Shama Parveen, the alleged key accused of this module, was arrested from Karnataka's Bengaluru. On Tuesday, a statement from the ATS said, 'During preliminary verification of information related to the said offense, surveillance of social media accounts had revealed that the accused Zeeshan Ali is in possession of a semi-automatic pistol. Based on the facts revealed during the intensive interrogation of the accused Zeeshan Ali by the Investigating Officer, DySP Virjeetsinh Parmar and his team, accused voluntarily disclosed the facts that he was indeed in possession of an illegal semi-automatic pistol.'

SC grants bail to brother of Bhopal-based sadhvi in fraud case
New Delhi, Aug 5 (PTI) The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted bail to the brother of Bhopal-based 'sadhvi", who is accused in a Rs 90 lakh fraud case following the death of the 'mahant" of Ram Janaki Temple in Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh. A bench of Justices M M Sundresh and N Kotiswar Singh said bail was an accused's right. The top court was hearing a plea filed by Harsh Raghuvanshi challenging the cancellation of bail granted to him by the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Advocate Ashwani Dubey, appearing for the accused, submitted there were no criminal antecedents of the petitioner and he was implicated as an accused during the investigation. He said the accused was not involved in commission of offence and his name was added as a co-accused at the time of investigation. The counsel for the Madhya Pradesh government opposed the plea. The high court on May 19 cancelled the anticipatory bail granted to Sadhvi Laxmi Das and cancelled the regular bail granted to her brother in the case. Sadhvi Laxmi Das alias Reena Raghuvanshi was granted anticipatory bail on December 20, 2024 on the condition that she would deposit the amount equal to money allegedly siphoned off by her, i.e., Rs 90 lakh in the bank as security money. According to the police, Mahant Kanak Dass Maharaj died in a road accident on April 17, 2023. He had a savings account at State Bank of India which had a deposit of Rs 88,74,081. He had not named anyone as his nominee in the account. It was alleged that Das, who the mahant's disciple, embezzled the amount with the intention to cheat. The police booked her under Sections 420 (cheating), 403 (dishonest misappropriation of property) and 404 (dishonest misappropriation of property) of IPC.
