Mumbai: <\/b><\/p>\n
Maharashtra’s Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested a 32-year-old engineer today from Nashik city for allegedly supporting and funding proscribed terror organisation ISIS, an official said.<\/p>\n
With the arrest of the man, who runs an import-export business in the city around 200km from Mumbai, the Maharashtra ATS has unravelled “international links to ISIS support and funding”, he said.<\/p>\n
According to the official, investigations so far have revealed the accused transferred funds to the dreaded global terrorist group three times.<\/p>\n
Some associates of the accused are being probed across several states, he said.<\/p>\n
Based on specific information, the ATS registered an offence under relevant sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) against the accused and a team of the state police’s anti-terror wing was monitoring his activities for several days, the official said.<\/p>\n
During investigations, the ATS found the accused was continuously communicating with a foreign entity associated with ISIS, the anti-terror agency said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The engineer-cum-businessman, who showed signs of radicalisation in recent years, actively supported ISIS by transferring funds to the foreign entity, the statement added.<\/p>\n
The ATS conducted a search and seized electronic devices, including mobile phones, SIM cards, a laptop, a pen drive, and incriminating documents, it said.<\/p>\n
The accused was arrested after interrogation and produced before a court, which sent him to ATS custody till January 31, said the official.<\/p>\n
