In an era where disinformation thrives on social media to inflame tensions between nations, the vigilant work of Azad Fact Check stands as a crucial bulwark against fabricated narratives, such as the baseless claim from an India-based X handle alleging that the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested three Pakistani nationals in a recent ISIS-linked plot.
Official statements from the Gujarat ATS unequivocally confirm that the individuals in custody Dr. Ahmed Mohiyuddin Saiyed, a 35-year-old from Hyderabad, Telangana, along with Azad Suleman Sheikh, 20, and Mohammad Suhail Mohammad Saleem, 23, both from Uttar Pradesh are all Indian nationals radicalized and involved in reconnaissance and arms procurement for potential ricin-based attacks in cities like Delhi, Lucknow, and Ahmedabad.
