Vaibhav Raut, arrested last week for his alleged links with the right-wing group Sanatan Sanstha, was on the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) radar for more than a month before that.
Officers of the Anti Terrorism Squad had disguised themselves as beggars, hawkers and cobblers and staked out Raut's residence to gather evidence against him, ATS sources have revealed. Raut, 40, who is currently in police custody, was arrested on August 10 from his Bhandaraly home in Nalasopara (West) for criminal conspiracy and planning to carry out bomb blasts to disrupt communal harmony.
