Jamshedpur: A Gujarat Police Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Saturday arrested India’s most wanted terrorist Dawood Ibrahim’s aide Abdul Majeed Kutty from Jamshedpur in Jharkhand.

ATS officials said that Kutty was involved in a case related to explosives sent by Dawood Ibrahim at the behest of a Pakistani agency to carry out bomb blasts in Gujarat and Maharashtra on Republic Day in 1997.
