A group of Sri Lankan nationals were apprehended in India over alleged links to ISIS. The arrests occurred at the airport based on a tip-off, authorities say.
"Preliminary investigations show they were in contact with a key IS leader known as Abu, who is currently based in Pakistan," Sahay told reporters, giving only one name for the Islamic State leader.
The arrested individuals were identified as Mohammed Nusrat (33), Mohammed Nafran (35), Mohammed Faaris (27), and Mohammed Rashdin (43), all residents of Colombo, Sri Lanka, whose foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
