Siraj and Sameer sent to central jail in Visakhapatnam
With their police custody coming to an end on Wednesday, Siraj-Ur-Rehaman of Vizianagaram and Syed Sameer of Hyderabad, who had been accused of making improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and planning to trigger blasts in Vizianagaram and several places in the State, were sent to the Visakhapatnam Central Jail after being produced in the court here amid security. The two accused persons had been arrested and later remanded in police custody for one week by the court. Top officials of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), Counter Intelligence, Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) and other agencies grilled the accused in the Police Training College. Their arrest assumed significance after the Pahlagam terror attack and Operation Sindoor, India's counter attack on Pakistan. The police had seized the bank accounts of Siraj and tried to know about his funding sources. They also questioned him on his links with Syed and other persons who were reportedly based in the Middle East nations. The investigating officials were expected to seek police custody of the accused again to gather more clues in the case.

'Hope Pakistan Got A Lesson': Pahalgam Victim's Daughter Hails Operation Sindoor
Last Updated: Asawari Jagdale, the daughter of one of the Pahlagam victims, Santosh Jagdale, said India has taken the right action. The families of the victims of Pahalgam terror attack have come in unison to support Operation Sindoor – India's retaliation to the April 22 attack that killed 26 civilians. Asawari Jagdale, the daughter of one of the Pahlagam victims, Santosh Jagdale, said India has taken the right action, adding she hopes Pakistan got its lesson. 'I hope Pakistan has got a lesson by the action taken by India today. The Indian government has taken the right action. Terrorism should be finished completely," Jagdale said. Reaction to the name of the operation – Sindoor – Jagdale said it was 'perfect". Jagdale's father and uncle were shot by terrorists right in front of her in Pahalgam's Baisaran Valley on April 22. 'They kept yelling at us, saying we are the reason for their pain. Then they forced my father and others to recite religious verses and shot them if they hesitated," she had said. Operation Sindoor On the intervening night of May 6 and 7, Indian missiles struck terror hideouts in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), two weeks after cross-border terrorists killed 26 people in Pahalgam. New Delhi described the strikes – called Operation Sindoor – as 'measured and non-escalatory," emphasising that no Pakistani military facilities were targeted. Sources said the strikes were carefully calibrated, with precision targeting. Prime Minister Narendra Modi monitored the entire operation, sources said. Reports indicated that Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) headquarters and a madrasa linked to Masood Azhar's Jaish-e-Mohammed may have been among the sites hit. Both groups are notorious for orchestrating attacks against India. Preliminary assessments suggest over 10 terrorists were killed and several dozen injured. First Published: May 07, 2025, 07:35 IST
