8/12/2018 2 Arrested In Hyderabad For Allegedly Planning Attacks On ISIS' Orders
Two men have been arrested from Hyderabad for their alleged links with the ISIS and
conspiring to carry out terror strikes on the instructions of the international terrorist
organisation. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) today arrested Hyderabad-based
Mohammed Abdullah Basith, 24, and Mohd Abdul Qhadeer, 19, acting on information
that the duo were associated with a group of three youngsters who were arrested from
Maharashtra's Nagpur airport two years ago for allegedly training youth to carry out
terrorist attacks.

The NIA is trying to ascertain the details of the "ongoing conspiracy and the role of the
arrested duo in furthering the ISIS ideology to carry out terrorist acts in India".

The NIA had arrested Sheikh Azhar ul Islam, Mohammed Farhan Shaikh and Adnan
Hassan in 2016 for radicalising and recruiting Indian Muslim youth on behalf of the ISIS.
During their trial, Sheikh and Mohammed pleaded guilty and were sentenced to seven
years in jail, while trial against Adnan Hassan is still on.

Recently, the central agency received an input that Abdullah Basith, who had links with
Adnan Hassan, and some of his associates were conspiring to further the activities of
ISIS in India.

Last week, digital devices and other material were seized by the NIA during raids at
seven places in Hyderabad. The same has been sent to Central Forensic Science
Laboratory Hyderabad for analysis and data extraction.

The initial interrogation has revealed that Abdullah Basith, Mohd Abdul Qhadeer and
their associates have pledged their allegiance to the ISIS to carry out terror activities in
India, the NIA spokesperson said.
