Members of the right-wing terror module that the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) busted used primitive methods, like those used by spies or extremist organisations, for plotting their conspiracies, the agency's probe has revealed. Passing chits, employing three layers of communication using random people, and changing code words after every operation to evade suspicion, were some of their tactics, said officers, adding that most of the diaries seized from the arrested accused are written in code as well.
Also, for communication via mobile phones, the accused changed SIM cards, registered under fake names daily to ensure security agencies wouldn't be able to track them. ATS has decoded the entire communication methodology of the module, which, it suspects, has been in operation for the last 10 years.
