In a significant development, the Delhi Police have apprehended Shahnawaz, a notorious member of an ISIS module, marking a crucial breakthrough in the fight against terrorism. Shahnawaz, also known as Saifi Uzma, had been on the run and was identified as the most wanted terrorist by the National Security Agency (NIA), with a substantial reward of Rs 3 lakh placed on his capture. His arrest has raised hopes of dismantling the terror network and bringing those responsible for heinous activities to justice.
The Arrest of Shahnawaz
The capture of Shahnawaz comes in the wake of a recent operation by the NIA that targeted the Pune module of ISIS, resulting in the arrest of seven individuals. During this operation, three terrorists managed to evade the authorities and sought refuge in the capital city, Delhi. Shahnawaz, an engineer by profession and originally hailing from Delhi, was among the escaped terrorists. The other two wanted individuals, Rizwan Abdul Haji Ali and Abdullah Fayaz Shaikh, remain at large, and law enforcement agencies are actively engaged in their pursuit.
High Alert in Delhi
Following the escape of the wanted terrorists to Delhi, both Pune Police and NIA teams have conducted a thorough search operation in Central Delhi. Intelligence reports indicate that these individuals possess the skills and training required to create improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and potentially carry out acts of terror. Law enforcement agencies are working diligently to locate and apprehend these fugitives promptly.
Interrogation of Shahnawaz
Currently in police custody, Shahnawaz is undergoing intensive interrogation. Authorities are keen to extract crucial information that could lead to further breakthroughs in counterterrorism efforts and provide insights into the workings of the ISIS module. His arrest is expected to yield vital intelligence in the fight against terrorism.
Conclusion: A Step Towards Counterterrorism
The apprehension of Shahnawaz represents a significant stride in the fight against terrorism. It underscores the relentless pursuit of those involved in terrorist activities and sends a strong message that terrorists will be brought to justice, no matter how far they flee. As law enforcement agencies remain vigilant and committed to their mission, the quest to locate the remaining fugitives and dismantle the terror network continues.
