The special court of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been granted 10 days custody of Dr Adnanali Sarkar, a renowned Pune-based doctor and Islamic scholar, in connection with the Maharashtra ISIS module case busted earlier this month. NIA alleged that Dr Sarkar had links with ISIS and was associated with the five recently arrested accused. The agency has sent videos from his gadgets related to ISIS for forensic analysis.

During the court proceedings, NIA claimed that Dr Sarkar was summoned on July 21 but failed to provide satisfactory answers, leading to his arrest on July 27. The agency found certain videos on his laptop and is now investigating his connection with the alleged five accused and examining his phone.
