The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two wanted accused persons, including the kingpin, in connection with the seizure of explosives and other bomb-making materials in Chittorgarh of Rajasthan in 2022, as part of the probe into an ISIS-inspired conspiracy of the “Sufa” terrorist outfit.
They have been identified as Mohammad Yunus Saki and Imran Khan, both residents of Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh. The agency expects their arrest to establish missing links in the case and identify more ISIS-inspired modules and their members.
The NIA has alleged that Yunus Saki and “mastermind” Imran Khan were actively engaged in spreading the ISIS ideology before they were arrested in Maharashtra. The agency had earlier seized explosives and various components used in the fabrication of bombs from the possession of an accused wanted in the case.
