- Investigating a suspected terror module of ISIS in Hyderabad, the NIA said on Tuesday that the accused were tech-savvy and using modern software to secure their email conversation with their handler in Syria.
- The alleged kingpin Mohammed Ibrahim Yazdani was using ‘tutanota’ (secure message) software– a secure encryption mail– to be in touch with his handler abroad. The coordinates of places where logistics like weapons were to be delivered were sent to him by his handler via encrypted email.
- The NIA lodged a common FIR against ISIS for “criminal conspiracy to wage war against the government of India.” According to the central agency, the gang was preparing improvised explosive devices for carrying out blasts, and was being guided by an online handler, suspected to be based in Iraq or Syria.
