One of the three men arrested by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) last week, a doctor who was allegedly preparing ricin, a highly toxic substance, had allegedly carried out surveys of crowded locations across three cities to potentially target them with the poison.

According to the police, the doctor had surveyed Delhi’s Azadpur Mandi, Ahmedabad’s Naroda fruit market, and the RSS office in Lucknow over the past six months. These densely populated locations were allegedly being considered as potential targets.

The Hyderabad-based doctor, Ahmed Mohiyuddin Saiyed (35), and two of his alleged accomplices, Azad Suleman Sheikh and Mohammed Suhail Mohammad Saleem, have been accused of plotting a large-scale terror attack using weapons and toxic chemical agents.
