Indian authorities have arrested a 20-year-old suspect accused of planning an attack against Jewish institutions in Mumbai, including the Chabad house. According to reports from India, the suspect was acting under the direction of foreign elements and filmed sensitive facilities while gathering intelligence on Jews, foreign nationals and their businesses.

Police are investigating whether the collected information was passed to terrorist organisations and intended to facilitate an attack. The investigation is ongoing to determine the extent of the conspiracy and any potential links to international terrorist groups.

The Chabad house in Mumbai was one of the targets during the 2008 terror attacks in the city, in which 166 people were killed, including six at the Chabad house. This development raises concerns about renewed threats to Jewish institutions in India.
