Shamli, 7 April (HS): Uttar Pradesh's

Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) conducted raids at various locations in Shamli

district and detained four suspects, including a woman, who were accused of

involvement in anti-national activities.

According to reports, the ATS team from

Saharanpur raided various locations in the Shamli district on Tuesday morning.

Four suspects were picked up in the Kairana area. After questioning, the team

took all four with them. Local residents say that Rashid and his wife, along

with four others, were taken away by young men in a car. Rashid has previously

been jailed for counterfeit currency. Local police officials have refused to

comment on the case. Following the ATS raid, various discussions are rife in

the area. The ATS took this action after receiving information about suspicious

activities.

The ATS considers the region, which includes

Saharanpur and Shamli, to be sensitive given to its proximity to borders and

past intelligence on suspect movement. To combat extremist activities, the UP

ATS has increased its attention on terror networks in western Uttar Pradesh.
