Terror in Bengal's Backyard: A Troubling Trend Takes Shape The arrest of Hamid Mondal, a suspected member of the banned Jaish e Mohammed (JeM) terror group, has sent shockwaves through West Bengal.
Mondal was collecting information on Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, raising alarm bells about the state's vulnerability to radical Islamist groups.
Mondal evaded detection for over two months, renting a flat in Burdwan town with his family. The Special Task Force (STF) of the West Bengal police finally tracked him down late on Thursday night.
