Patna Police have arrested Athar Parvez and Mohammed Jalaluddin -- a retired sub-inspector from Jharkhand -- from the Phulwari Sharif area. Later, three more individuals -- Margoob Danish, Arman Malik and Shabbir -- were arrested.
They were allegedly running a terror module and were engaged in brainwashing the Muslim youth, the police said.
Parvez is said to be a member of the banned Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), who was providing training to the youth.
Manzar, Athar's brother, had been arrested earlier in connection with the 2013 Gandhi Maidan bomb blast during then Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi's 'Hunkar' rally.
Mohammed Jalaluddin is also said to be a member of SIMI. The police have claimed that the accused tried to execute a terror strike during Modi's rally.
The police have recovered sensational documents from Jalaluddin and Parvez in which it has been written that they will make India an Islamic state by 2047.
