ISIS India Head Haris Farooqi Arrested From Assam’s Dubri

Assam Police said on Wednesday that two high-ranking ISIS leaders in India who were preparing sabotage operations were apprehended close to the international border after they crossed over from Bangladesh.

An STF team was sent to the Dhubri sector to apprehend the suspects, who were also wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), in response to information obtained from sister agencies, the police said.

Two suspects were apprehended by the STF team early on Wednesday morning in the Dharmasala neighborhood of Dhubri after they had crossed the international border, according to police. The team began a manhunt in the international border area on Tuesday evening.

According to a statement released by the Assam Police Chief Public Relations Officer Pranab Jyoti Goswami, “both of them were apprehended and brought to the STF office at Guwahati.”

Anurag Singh, also known as Rehan, and Harish Ajmal Farooqi, also known as Harish Ajmal Farukhi, are the two ISIS cadres who were apprehended. Authorities said that Anurag Singh lives in Panipat, Haryana, and Farooqi lives in Dehradun, Uttarakhand.
Goswami continued, “Anurag Singh converted to Islam, and his wife is a citizen of Bangladesh.”

Both people are characterized as highly motivated and indoctrinated leaders/members of ISIS in India, engaged in a range of activities such as funding terrorism, recruiting, and organizing terror attacks with the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).

“They had furthered the cause of ISIS in India through conspiracies to carry out recruitment, terror funding and terror acts by means of IEDs at several places across India,” said a police official.

The STF claims that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in New Delhi and the Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) in Lucknow have opened multiple cases against these two.

The STF Assam has declared that it will turn over the accused to the NIA so that additional legal action can be taken. Write this article again
