20-Year-Old Arrested For Recce Of 26/11 Target Nariman House In Mumbai

A 20-year-old man has been arrested in Navi Mumbai on Saturday for conducting reconnaissance of sensitive locations in Mumbai, including the Chabad House in Colaba, a Jewish religious centre that was one of the targets of the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.

According to the police, the man identified as Yash Singh was working at the direction of foreign handlers and had been collecting photographs, vehicle details and precise location information about Jewish citizens, foreign nationals and their businesses before sharing the material with his contacts.

Singh, a resident of the Airoli area of Navi Mumbai, was arrested by the Navi Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) following a tip-off about his alleged links with international criminal networks through social media. The investigation subsequently brought Kerala Police into the operation after officials found that Singh’s activities were connected to a case registered under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in Thrissur.

A team of Kerala Police officers travelled to Navi Mumbai after receiving information from the ATS. Following an investigation into his alleged involvement and the links between his activities and the Kerala case, the team arrested Singh.(UPDATED ON 14TH NOVEMBER 2026)
