The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said they achieved a major breakthrough after dismantling an ISIS module operating in Maharashtra on Monday. Following extensive raids in Mumbai, Thane and Pune, the NIA apprehended four individuals accused of promoting terrorist activities on behalf of the
proscribed organisation.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Tabish Nasser Siddiqui from Nagpada, Mumbai; Zubair Noor Mohammed Shaikh, also known as Abu Nusaiba, from Kondhwa, Pune; and Sharjeel Shaikh and Zulfikar Ali Barodawala from Padgha, Thane. They would allegedly coordinate over Telegram. The raids were conducted at five different locations in connection with the ISIS Maharashtra module case, which was registered by the NIA on June 28.
