The Anti-Terrorist Squad of Madhya Pradesh has arrested four people allegedly affiliated to the banned Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) from different areas of Bhopal, police said on Sunday.
According to senior police officers investigating the matter, literature advocating the establishment of ‘khilafat’ were seized from the four arrested. The ATS also seized electronic equipment and other suspicious documents. Based on the seized literature, the four appeared to be active members of JMB, the officers said.
According to them, the four were arrested after they could not give a convincing reply on the purpose of their visit to Bhopal.
“The four had been living in Bhopal for the past two months but could not come up with a convincing answer on why they had come to the city,” said a senior police officer.
The investigators were looking into a large amount of literature recovered from the four. No explosive or firearm was recovered from their possession.
