New Delhi: The anti-terror agency NIA raided 19 locations across four states on Monday morning in connection with the ISIS network. The raids were carried out at 11 locations in Karnataka, four in Jharkhand, three in Maharashtra, and one in Delhi, NDTV reported.
Last week, the central anti-terror agency raided over 40 locations in Maharashtra and made 15 arrests. One of the accused who was arrested was a leader of an ISIS module and was administering an oath of allegiance to new recruits.
During the raids, the NIA recovered large quantities of unaccounted cash, weaponry, sharp implements, sensitive documents, and various digital devices. NIA officials said the accused were operating in India at the direction of “foreign handlers” and had been actively involved in terror activities in the country.
