A day after the Delhi Police's Special Cell announced the arrest of a 19-year-old member of an ISIS-inspired terror module from Sadiq Nagar in south Delhi, the suspect's family said the Class 12 student has always been an “obedient” and “family-oriented” son.

The father of the suspect, identified as Md Adnan, is a government employee and refused to believe his son was part of an “interstate terror module”, saying he has only been in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

“He's not very bright but he’s hardworking. We shifted here from Eta in 2022 because of my job. [don’t know what police are saying but my son was not part of any group and was not making any bomb. We have seen his devices,” Adnan's father Md Saleem said.
