New Delhi, Jan 30: Three Indians, said to have links with terrorist outfit Islamic State (IS) were detained and later arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) from the IGI airport in Delhi on Thursday night after they were deported from the UAE on India’s request.

niaIndia had alerted the UAE authorities about the suspects, based on information provided by the 14 arrested in countrywide raids last week, a senior government official said. 

The trio — Sheikh Azhar al Islam Abdul Sattar Sheikh from Jammu and Kashmir, Mohammed Farhan Mohammed Rafiq Shaikh from Mumbra in Mumbai, and Adnan Hussain Mohammed Hussain from Bhatkal — were deported from the United Arab Emirates for allegedly planning to carry out terror strikes in India and abroad, the NIA said on Friday.

The anti-terror agency registered a case against the three and detained them upon their arrival in Delhi. So far, around two dozen Indians have been deported from the Gulf on suspicion of links with the IS.
The three terror suspects were later arrested and will be produced in court on Saturday. “The trio wanted to recruit Indians here and abroad for terror strikes,” said the investigator.

Between September and October 2015, the UAE deported 12 Indians for suspected IS links.
