She had been “trying to protect people having association with Ansarul Islam”, Bora stated.

“Two mobile phones were seized from her possession, one of which was burnt. We are trying to retrieve data from the burnt phone. As of now, we have gathered enough evidence from her interrogation and the other phone to establish the fact that she was in touch with the members of the outfit,” Bora said.

Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma recently said that Assam has become a hotbed of “jihadi activities” after five modules having links with the Bangladesh-based terror outfit was busted in the past five months.

The first module was busted in March with the arrest of five persons in Barpeta

Since then, over 30 people have been nabbed with 11 in the months of March and April.

Two persons, including an Imam running a Madrasa, were held in Morigaon in July. The madrasa was subsequently demolished.
