|July 31, 2025
As part of the ongoing anti-terror operation, the Gujarat ATS on Wednesday arrested a 33-year-old Jharkhand-native woman from Bengaluru for her alleged role in bolstering Al Qaeda's influence in India.
The accused, Shama Parveen, is believed to have been integral to the social media propaganda machinery of Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS).
The ATS collaborated with Bengaluru police to locate Parveen. A joint team raided her residence in Manorayanapalya locality and arrested her. She is a graduate and has been living in Bengaluru for three years with her brother, a techie.
