- A Delhi Court has denied bail to five suspected ISIS operatives arrested for allegedly planning a terror strike during the Ardh Kumbh Mela in Haridwar, besides some other strategic locations in the national capital.
- The NIA had earlier disclosed to the court that the suspects had revealed during their interrogation by Delhi Police, name codes and mobile numbers of active members, recruiters, sympathisers and motivators of ISIS.
- All of them supposedly had links with a former Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorist, who later went onto fight for ISIS.
