Nearly five years after explosions rocked crowded areas of Opera House, Zaveri Bazaar, and Dadar which had claimed 27 lives and left 127 others injured, Maharashtra’s Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Tuesday arrested a key operative of home-grown terror outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) in connection with the 2011 Mumbai triple blasts.
Identifying the arrested IM operative as Zainul Abedin, a resident of Bhatkal town in Karnataka, Inspector General of the State ATS Niket Kaushik said that the Abedin was
nabbed from the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport around 5.30 am.
