4 arrested in case of weapons supply to ISIS-inspired terror group gets bail

- India
A Delhi court Tuesday granted bail to four persons arrested for allegedly providing weapons to members of a suspected ISIS-inspired terrorist group busted after a multi-city swoop. Special Judge Rakesh Syal enlarged Zaid Malik, Mohammed Azam, Raees Ahmad and Mohammed Irshad on bail on a personal bond of Rs 70,000 with two sureties of like amount.
Advocate M S Khan, appearing for the accused, argued that no charge sheet has been filed against his clients despite the passage of a mandatory period of 90 days and hence they are liable to be released on bail. The accused were arrested after raids in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh — at six places in Amroha, two in Lucknow, two in Hapur and two in Meerut.
The agency said it had recovered 25kg explosive materials — potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate and sulphur — after the raids. The ISIS-inspired group 'Harkat ul Harb e Islam', which loosely translates into war for the cause of Islam, allegedly had purchased remote control cars and wireless doorbells to use their circuits in assembling remote-controlled improvised explosive devices.
The NIA had also seized steel containers, electric wires, 91 mobile phones, 134 SIM cards, three laptops, a knife, a sword and ISIS-related literature.
