The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorist Squad (UP ATS) has identified and arrested a Rohingya from Aligarh on charges of residing on forged Indian documents. The accused, Khalique Ahmed entered the Indian territory and became an Imam in Rashideen mosque in Aligarh, the ATS said.

In another case, ATS has got a seven-day remand of Raj Mohammed. He was arrested from Pudukkottai district in Tamil Nadu for sending the messages, threatening to trigger blasts at RSS offices in Lucknow, Unnao, Karnataka last week.
