The UP Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has arrested a 35-year-old doctor from Maharashtra for his alleged involvement in “large-scale illegal conversions”. Police said the accused Dr Faraz Shah is a close associate of three people who were arrested last year on a similar charge. He is also an aide of the main accused in the case, Umar Gautam.
He told that Faraj is a resident of Pusad area of Yavatmal district of Maharashtra.
ATS IG GK Goswami said that Faraz is an MBBS doctor and was running a clinic in Maharashtra. He said that Faraj has been brought to Lucknow.
In July, the ATS arrested three people from Maharashtra: Rameshwar Kaware alias Adam, Bhupriya Bando alias Arslan Mustafa and Kausar Alam.
Police said during the investigation of data, including audio, video and photos, recovered from electronic devices of all the four accused arrested from Maharashtra, police found that they were “radically motivated”.
