The National Investigation Agency (NIA), on Wednesday, September 6, 2023 arrested Siyed Nabeel Ahammed, the leader (Ameer) of the terrorist organisation ISIS’s Thrissur-based module, in Chennai.
Ahammed was allegedly on the run, moving from one hide-out to another across Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and was picked up by the NIA’s Fugitive Tracking Team. He was preparing to flee the country using forged travel documents with Nepal as a transit point, the central agency said.
NIA’s team was working on the group, following specific inputs for several weeks, before finally zeroing-in on the suspect in Chennai.
