National security agencies in India arrested at least eight suspects for allegedly plotting a terrorist attack, with investigators pointing to suspected links with Pakistan’s ISI and Bangladesh, official sources told news agency PTI.

As per the news agency, six of the suspects were arrested from Tamil Nadu–two from Uthukuli, three from Palladam, and one from the Thirumuruganpoondi area, while two persons were picked up earlier during follow-up action linked to the same case.

According to officials, some of the arrested individuals are stated to be Bangladeshi nationals.

The arrests were made during a joint intelligence-based operation in Tamil Nadu, where security personnel swooped in on multiple locations and apprehended the suspects before the alleged plot could be executed.
