The gujarat isis case raids entered a new phase on Sunday as the Gujarat ATS carried out searches in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur district. The team reached the home of Suhail Khan, who is under the scanner for alleged ISIS links. The gujarat isis case raids shocked the local residents when the ATS recovered an ISIS flag and several digital devices from his house.
Officials said Suhail Khan stayed in contact with two men already arrested in Gujarat. According to the investigation, the group tried to build a small network to spread extremist ideas. The ATS believes the Lakhimpur visit may help them track more supporters.
During the search, the ATS also looked for storage devices, mobile phones, and handwritten notes. They want to understand how far the network expanded and who helped them. Sources said Suhail often travelled outside the district, and investigators now want to trace those movements.
Local police supported the ATS during the operation and helped manage the crowd that gathered near the house. Many residents said they were surprised by Suhail’s name in a terror investigation.
The ATS plans to question more people over the next few days. They aim to uncover the full communication chain and prevent future recruitment attempts.
