In a significant operation, Delhi Police's Special Cell has arrested Rizwan, a terrorist linked to the ISIS Pune module, near Daryaganj in Old Delhi. Rizwan, who had been on the run for several years, was wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which had announced a Rs 3 lakh reward for his capture.
Authorities had placed a Rs 3 lakh bounty on Abdul for his key role in the Pune ISIS module, which has been under investigation for its involvement in various terror-related activities.
The arrest marks a significant development in the ongoing efforts by Indian security agencies to dismantle terror networks in the country. Further investigations are underway to uncover more details about Abdul's involvement and connections.
