The investigation subsequently helped investigators trace operational networks connected with the Indian Mujahideen conspiracy.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PNN-2026-09-02T145405.185-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PNN-2026-09-02T145405.185-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PNN-2026-09-02T145405.185-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PNN-2026-09-02T145405.185-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PNN-2026-09-02T145405.185-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/pnn.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/PNN-2026-09-02T145405.185.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wider investigation involved extensive coordination, technical intelligence and field operations as Gujarat Police worked to identify and arrest those allegedly connected with the conspiracy.
