One recruit, Arpita Sarkar, allegedly connected with Mondal via Instagram and was reportedly used in a honey-trap role. Another recruit, Aditya Singh, was drawn in through an online game and allegedly tasked with surveillance activities. The case highlights how extremist networks are increasingly exploiting digital platforms to radicalize and recruit youth.
