2 Held in Gujarat for Threats, Pakistan Social Media Links

Ahmedabad, Gujarat – In a chilling development exposing cross-border influence and potential national security threats, two men from Devbhoomi Dwarka’s Bhanvad taluka have been arrested for threatening a local youth for watching anti-Pakistan content and for maintaining suspicious social media contacts with Pakistani nationals.

The arrested accused — Hussain Sumar Hingora and Noormamad Umar Hingora — have been found in active contact with individuals from Pakistan through WhatsApp and Facebook, according to police sources. The arrests come close on the heels of the recent apprehension of a Bangladeshi woman in Ahmedabad whose Pakistan connection had raised serious security concerns.

According to police, the two accused had threatened to kill one Mukesh Khin, a 28-year-old resident of Bhenkavad village, for allegedly watching reels that celebrated India’s military strength over Pakistan.

DySP Sagar Rathod revealed that Mukeshbhai was watching patriotic content related to India’s military victories on his mobile phone at a shop in Ranjit Para when Noormamad, a shop employee, became enraged and confronted him. “He told Mukeshbhai not to say anything against Pakistan and threatened him with dire consequences,” said Rathod.

Later, Hussain Hingora, believed to be closely associated with Noormamad, joined in the intimidation. He allegedly abused Mukesh and even summoned him to a paan shop, where he reiterated the death threat.

Sensing the gravity of the situation and rising communal tension amid ongoing India-Pakistan border conflicts, the Bhanvad police acted swiftly. Surveillance teams patrolling the area were alerted, and both suspects were immediately detained.

The real shock came during forensic analysis of the accused’s mobile phones. Investigators discovered chat records and friend lists confirming that the accused were in contact with several Pakistani nationals via social media platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook.

“The digital trail indicates sustained communication,” said a senior investigator. “We are now exploring whether the accused were part of any broader radical network or receiving instructions from across the border.”

Local residents of Bhenkavad expressed alarm and anger. “We never expected boys from our village to speak in favor of Pakistan or threaten someone for being patriotic,” said a visibly disturbed elder.

Authorities have registered a case under relevant sections for criminal intimidation and cyber monitoring. Further investigation is underway to ascertain whether the accused were involved in any anti-national activities or were part of a larger radical ecosystem.
