serious plot to destabilise the society,” the BJP leader added.Abdul Qader, 54, a karate instructor, Shaik Shadullah, 40, Mohammad Imran, 22, and Mohammad Abdul Mobin, 27, were arrested by Nizamabad police in last few days, for radicalising Muslim youth and training them in martial arts and use of weapons.
