A 22-year-old aspiring social media influencer from Jharkhand has been arrested by the West Bengal Special Task Force (STF) for her alleged involvement in a Pakistan-linked terror module, officials said on Saturday. The woman, identified as Arpita Sarkar, allegedly helped her boyfriend Mohammad Hamim Mondal, a suspected Jaish operative, establish contact with influential individuals and carry out honey-trapping activities as part of the network’s instructions.
Sarkar was arrested from Barharwa in Jharkhand’s Sahibganj district, around 300 km from Kolkata, a day after Mondal was arrested from a gated residential complex in Burdwan.
