A suspected Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist and two other suspects were arrested by the Delhi Police Special Cell on Monday, India Today reported.

It said the ISIS terrorist, Mohammad Shahnawaz alias Shafi Ujjama, was on the most wanted list of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and had a bounty of INR 300,000 on his head.

The arrests were made after an ISIS module in Delhi was revealed in a tip-off. The module was planning to carry out terror attacks in north India, including Delhi, based on instructions from foreign-based handlers.

Shahnawaz, an engineer by profession, was wanted in the Pune ISIS module case. He is a resident of Delhi and had escaped from Pune police custody. He was hiding in Delhi before being arrested.

All the three terror suspects, including Shahnawaz, are being questioned currently.

Authorities recovered several incriminating materials, including a liquid chemical, which is used for making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).
