Kolkata: A schoolteacher, who was acting as a recruiter for Pakistan-based terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, was arrested at his residence in north Kashmir on Thursday, National Investigation Agency said. Altaf Ahmad Rather had been recruiting people from Bengal online as LeT operatives, reports Dwaipayan Ghosh.
This arrest is linked to that of Tania Parveen (21), who was held by Bengal STF in March last year in Basirhat, North 24 Parganas, on charges of working for LeT. Rather, a resident of Jammu & Kashmir’s Bandipora district, was wanted in the same case, an NIA spokesperson said.
“Investigation has revealed that Rather is a schoolteacher in Bandipora and was a sympathiser of the LeT. Parveen had come in contact with him over social media platforms and he was instrumental in introducing her to LeT members based in Pakistan, in pursuance of a conspiracy to radicalise, motivate and recruit youths for violent ‘jihad’ in India,” he said.
