Ricin plot suspect attacked inside Sabarmati Jail

India Nov 18, 2025

Dr. Ahmed Mohiyuddin Saiyed, who was recently arrested for allegedly plotting a ricin-based terror attack linked to ISKP, was assaulted by other inmates in the high-security wing of Sabarmati Central Jail.
Guards stepped in quickly to stop the attack, but the incident has put a spotlight on safety inside one of Gujarat's most secure prisons.

What happens next?

The jail authorities are now investigating how this breach happened after Saiyed was moved to high security.
They're questioning both staff and inmates, and say they're focused on addressing security concerns—especially for high-profile prisoners like Saiyed—to prevent anything like this from happening again.
