  • A 25-year-old man, suspected to have links with the Islamic State (ISIS) was arrested in Bengal on Tuesday by the West Bengal Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

  • On Monday, the accused, identified as Mohammad Masiuddin alias Musa, was detained from the Burdwan railway station, and brought to the CID headquarters in the city on Tuesday where he was formally arrested.
