India's anti-terror agency NIA conducted extensive raids across 40 locations in Maharashtra and 1 in Karnataka on Saturday, arresting 13 people linked to an ISIS module case. Most raids were carried out around Mumbai, targeting 31 places in Thane Rural and 9 in Thane City, along with sites in Pune and Mira Bhayandar. The operation is connected to suspect Aakif Ateeque Nachan arrested last August for allegedly making explosives for the busted terror cell. It builds on September arrests of 5 other module members from Mumbai, Pune and Thane where explosives and conspiracy plans were uncovered. The raids expose the expanding web of the Islamic State-affiliated network.
