In a significant breakthrough, Delhi's Patiala House Court has granted 12 days' custody to the Delhi Police Special Cell for Ashhar Danish and Kamran Qureshi, individuals allegedly involved in a Pakistan-backed ISIS module targeting a pan-India network.
Arrested in Ranchi, Jharkhand, and Rajgarh, Madhya Pradesh, these suspects are accused of radicalizing youth through social media to engage in terrorist activities, according to submissions made by the investigation officer, seeking their interrogation on technical and other evidences.
The case widened after intelligence inputs led to the arrest of additional suspects Aftab Ansari and Sufiyan Abubakar in Delhi, recovery of firearms, and further materials believed to be for improvised explosive devices. The court also granted eight days' custody for Ansari and Abubakar.
