Based on "reliable" intelligence inputs, the ATS sleuths gathered "relevant information about them" and started trailing the nine "for several weeks."

"The group was likely to swing into action", when the ATS formed about a dozen teams and carried out searches at five different locations in Mumbra, Thane and Aurangabad last night.
