- On August 16, the Uttar Pradesh Anti-Terrorism Squad arrested 24-year-old Mohammad Zafar for alleged links with Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed and collecting donations in the name of a madrasa to send to Pakistan.
- Zafar, a resident of Mirganj village in Bihar who studied at a madrasa in Meerut, told investigators he was strongly influenced by JeM chief Masood Azhar and aspired to become a 'mujahid'.
- According to the ATS, Zafar used Facebook to post statements related to jihad while keeping his face covered and joined JeM-linked WhatsApp groups to contact a Pakistani handler.
- Zafar allegedly obtained a Binance account from his handler and transferred funds multiple times in USDT, though an attempted transfer to a Pakistani bank account proved unsuccessful.
