Recall that Sheikh Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi was detained by the NIA during a search in the district in October of last year. He was suspected of being connected to the outlawed Islamic terrorist group Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM). Sources in Assam police told ‘Organiser Weekly’ that the arrested Sheikh Sultan Salahuddin Ayyubi was organising a base for the LeT including organising funds for the terror outfit. Earlier in October, National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested 12 Jaish-e- Mohammed (JeM) terrorists in Goalpara district of Assam.
