Thirteen people were detained by the National Investigation Agency on Saturday as the anti-terror agency conducted raids at 41 locations across Maharashtra and Karnataka in an ongoing Islamic State terror conspiracy case.
Those detained were from Pune and Bhiwandi were linked to the Islamic State.
The raids were underway at one location in Karnataka, while in Maharashtra, the raids were being conducted in Pune, Thane Rural, Thane city and Mira Bhayandar, sources in NIA have told Times Now.
The raids were planned after the NIA probe unveiled a complex network of individuals committed to propagating the extremist ideology of ISIS within India.
This network took an oath of allegiance (Bayath) to the self-styled Khalifa (leader) of ISIS and was found to be involved in the fabrication of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), NIA officials said.
