The Times Of India(@timesofindia):India's Home Ministry has designated the Shahzad Bhatti Network a terrorist organisation under the UAPA, tying a Dubai-based gangster to a string of attacks across India — including the Sidhu Moosewala and Baba Siddique killings, grenade attacks in Punjab, and an IED blast near Ambala's Baldev Nagar police station. Investigators say Bhatti operates as an ISI proxy, using drone-smuggled weapons and locally recruited operatives to run hybrid terror operations from outside India's borders. A multi-state crackdown last month saw over 250 people detained and 80+ FIRs filed — but Bhatti himself remains at large.
