Bhopal: Seven more suspected activists of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (Simi) were arrested in Madhya Pradesh, the police said on Monday.
Five of the activists were arrested from Ujjain and two were nabbed from Indore during operations at suspected hideouts on Sunday night, said the police.
The police said the Simi activists were attending a meet in Indore when they were apprehended.
"Their interrogation will reveal their plans," said Indore Superintendent of Police Anshuman Yadav.
The searches were conducted following information obtained from Simi activists arrested last week. The police had apprehended at least 10 members of the outfit, including its all-India chief Safdar Nagori, in Indore.
Those arrested in Indore include Abdul Razzak and Rais while Jahid Pervez, Aiayyaz, Akbar, Mehamoof Shaikh and Irshad Ali were arrested in Ujjain, said the police.
'Dormant' members
Indore range Inspector General of Police Anil Kumar said it was yet to be ascertained whether they were active Simi members or just extending support to the outfit in terms of logistics and funds.
The Simi is believed to have several dormant activists in Indore and Ujjain. The outfit was banned in 2001.
