The network positioned its members across several regional hubs, heavily utilising local madrasas to run their operations and extend dawat, or invitations, to join the terror group.

The background of the case involves a massive joint operation where five special Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) teams collaborated with regional police forces.

The coordinated counter-terrorism crackdown spanned across multiple regions in Gujarat, including Banaskantha, Patan, and Navsari, as well as Dewas in Madhya Pradesh.
