Three alleged ISIS sympathisers, who were deported from UAE for purportedly being on a mission to carry out terror attacks in India and some other countries, were remanded to 10 days’ NIA custody by a city court.
Adnan Hussain, who hails from Karnataka, Mohammad Farhan from Maharashtra and Sheikh Azhar Al Islam from Jammu and Kashmir, who were arrested by the NIA on Friday after being deported from the UAE, were produced before the court with their faces covered amid tight security.
According to sources, during in-camera proceedings, the NIA sought custodial interrogation of the three accused saying they were required to be interrogated to unearth the entire conspiracy to carry out terror strikes. The sources said District Judge Amar Nath allowed the NIA’s plea and remanded them to its custody till February 9.
The three suspects, along with other unknown associates, were allegedly involved in a conspiracy to identify, motivate, radicalise, recruit and train Indian citizens, located in India and abroad, for planning and executing terror attacks in India and other countries, the sources claimed.
