The Gorakhpur terror funding mastermind, Ramesh Shah (28) was arrested on 21st June 2018 in Pune by the UP Anti-terrorist squad (ATS) in a joint operation with its Maharashtra counterpart. Shah will be produced in a court in UP and will be taken on remand for subsequent investigations.
On 24th March 2018, ATS had arrested six persons from Gorakhpur involved in terror-funding who had disclosed that majority of their funds came from the Middle East, Kerala and Jammu & Kashmir. Their interrogation had further revealed that more than Rs 1 crore had been exchanged between their Pakistani handler and native terror operatives. All these exchanges had been on Shah’s instructions who used to run a business with the money earned through such means. On 20th June 2018, ten persons were further arrested by ATS on their alleged involvement in terror-funding and links with Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT). They were asked to open fake bank accounts and were given directions on the amount of money to be transferred in each bank account by the LeT. All Indian agents used to get 10 to 20 percent commission for these transactions.
