Shillong, October 2: Delhi Police Special Cell arrested Mohammad Shahnawaz, also known as Shafi Ujjama, a suspected ISIS terrorist, along with two other terror suspects on Monday. Shahnawaz was a high-priority target for the National Investigation Agency (NIA), with a bounty of Rs 3 lakh on his capture.

As per India Today, discovery of an ISIS module in Delhi led to these arrests, following a tip-off. The module had sinister plans of executing terror attacks in northern India, particularly Delhi, following directives from handlers based abroad.

Shahnawaz, an engineer by profession, was a fugitive wanted in the Pune ISIS module case. He managed to escape police custody in Pune and had been hiding in Delhi until his recent arrest. Presently, all three terror suspects are undergoing questioning.

During the operation, law enforcement recovered various incriminating materials, including a liquid chemical commonly used in the creation of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).

The NIA had recently offered a cash reward of Rs 3 lakh for information leading to the capture of Shahnawaz and three other terror suspects in the Pune ISIS module case. To date, five individuals, including a doctor, have been apprehended in connection with the case.
