Assam: Cybercrime or Terror Links? Police Remain Tight-Lipped After Surprise Operation in Bilasipara

A large-scale hidden operation conducted by the Assam police's Special Task Force (STF) across multiple localities in Dhubri's Bilasipara late last night resulted in the detention of more than a dozen individuals, including three women.

Sources say the operation, carried out discreetly by a massive police contingent, created a tense and chaotic atmosphere in the town as officers conducted raids well into the night.

The STF have not officially disclosed the exact nature of the operation. However, initial speculation suggests it may be related to investigations into cybercrime or anti-terror activities. The police have neither confirmed nor denied these suspicions.

The detained individuals are currently undergoing interrogation as part of an ongoing probe.

Further information is awaited from the police authorities regarding the progress and outcomes of the investigation.

Meanwhile, in a major operation against suspected jihadist elements, the Special Task Force (STF) apprehended two individuals from a hotel in Azara while they were reportedly in hiding on Saturday. The duo is suspected of providing financial and technological support to jihadist activities.

Simultaneously, anti-jihadist operations are also underway in Bilasipara, where several individuals have been detained for questioning.

According to sources, a press conference by senior police officials is expected shortly to disclose further details of the operation and the arrests.
