India detains 253 people across 14 states in a crackdown targeting an alleged ISI-linked network, according to reports from NDTV. The action involves arrests carried out over multiple locations as authorities pursue suspects they say are connected to cross-border terrorism.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah says the crackdown is a major success against cross-border terrorism, framing the operation as a response to threats attributed to links with Pakistan’s ISI. The reporting centers on the scale of the arrests and the government’s assessment of the results, without detailing specific charges, the identities of those detained, or the evidence cited in support of the allegations.

Overall, the accounts agree on the core figures—253 detainees and operations spanning 14 states—and on the official portrayal of the crackdown’s purpose and impact, though they do not provide additional, independently detailed perspectives or operational specifics.
