New Delhi, May 30:
In a major anti-terror operation, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday conducted raids at multiple locations in Rajasthan, including Ajmer and Neemrana, in connection with suspected links to Pakistan-based terrorist Shahzad Bhatti and alleged terror-funding activities.
The case is linked to Pakistani gangster Shahzad Bhatti and operative Jasvir Chaudhary, who is accused of procuring weapons and IEDs from across the border using drones. In Ajmer, an NIA team raided a rented house in Ambika Vihar Colony on Boraj Road and detained Parmesh Meena after nearly five hours of questioning. Meena, originally from Bhilwara, had been living in the house with his wife.
Following the interrogation, the NIA team took him to Delhi for further questioning. According to sources, intelligence agencies had received inputs suggesting that Parmesh Meena was in contact with Pakistan-based terrorist Shahzad Bhatti through social media platforms. During the operation, the NIA, assisted by local police, also questioned nearby residents and examined Meena’s activities.
Investigators reportedly found that he frequently played online games and was allegedly involved in debt recovery-related work. The agency seized his mobile phone, laptop, social media account details and call detail records (CDRs) as part of the investigation. Following the raid, Ajmer Police and intelligence agencies began questioning his family members and acquaintances to trace possible links and networks.
