Singapore arrests Bangladeshi man for plotting attacks against Hindus, planning to fight in Kashmir

SINGAPORE : Singapore said on Tuesday that its security agencies have arrested one Bangladeshi man, who was plotting attacks against Hindus in his own country and planning to fight in Kashmir, after they investigated the suspicious activities of 37 people as part of the heightened security measures in the city-state following recent terror attacks in Europe.
In a statement, the Ministry of Home Affairs said that counter-terrorism investigations into the suspicious activities of 37 people in Singapore have been carried out after most of them posted on social media, inciting violence or stoking community unrest in the aftermath of the terror attacks in France.
Of the 37 people, 14 are Singaporeans and 23 foreigners, mostly Bangladeshis, it said.
“The 14 Singaporeans comprise 10 males and four females, and are aged between 19 and 62 years old. Most of them had, in response to the recent terror attacks in France, made social media postings which incited violence or stoked communal unrest,” the ministry said. (AGENCIES)
