How has the Gujarat ATS busted a terror module linked to the Islamic State

Provide details about the manner in which the Gujarat ATS has been able to dismantle a terror module with ties to the Islamic State, and what this means for India's security apparatus.
The Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has successfully busted a terror module with links to the Islamic State. Here are the key details:
  • The module was planning attacks on vital installations, crowded places, and religious sites across Gujarat.
  • Seven people were arrested in connection with the module, including six from Bharuch and one from Surat.
  • The suspects had undergone religious indoctrination and training in the use of weapons and explosives.
  • The ATS seized arms, ammunition, explosives, and bomb-making material from their possession.
  • The suspects were also in touch with a handler of the Islamic State based in Iraq, and were using social media to communicate and coordinate with each other.
  • The bust highlights the ongoing threat posed by the Islamic State and its affiliates to India's security, and underscores the importance of robust intelligence-gathering and inter-agency cooperation.
Overall, the successful operation by the Gujarat ATS is a testament to the hard work and dedication of India's security forces, and is a significant blow to those who seek to destabilize the country.
