Three ISIS Terrorists Arrested From Tolichowki

In an early morning swoop by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) sleuths, three terrorists of the deadly Islamic terror outfit ISIS were picked up from the bustling Tolichowki area of Hyderabad. The arrested troika has been identified as Abdul Malik, Fazlullah and Khayyum. Abdul Malik (60) is the father of the other two.

As many as 300 cops drawn from AP and UP cordoned off the area and took the troika into custody from Sun City, where they were living in a rented house. They were shifted to Lucknow in UP for questioning. The NIA suspects that the house was being used to shelter ultras. Sources also said that there were cases against the three in various parts of Uttar Pradesh. This is the second instance of people with ISIS links getting arrested in Hyderabad. Earlier, a woman and few other recruiters were arrested. Eight youth who were planning to go to Syria and Iraq to join the ISIS were arrested and counselled.
