The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested Mohammad Shahnawaz Alam, an accused in the Pune ISIS module case in which seven persons were earlier held.
Alam, a resident of Katkamsandi in Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh, had escaped from the custody of the Pune police on July 19 after he was arrested along with Mohammed Imran Khan and Mohammed Yunus Saki for allegedly attempting to steal a motorcycle.
“Subsequently, it came to light that they were active ISIS operatives. Further, NIA had declared a reward of ₹3 lakh for information leading to the capture of Shahnawaz Alam,” said the NIA on Thursday.
