|October 25, 2025
DELHI Police has arrested two alleged ISIS operatives from Delhi and Madhya Pradesh who were planning terror attacks in the national capital during the festive season.
The module also ran social media channels to recruit youth by circulating edited jihadi videos, officials said.
The accused are Mohammad Adnan Khan, 19, of Sadiq Nagar, Delhi, and Adnan Khan, 20, of Bhopal. Mohammad Adnan admitted taking the Bay'ah (pledge of allegiance) to the ISIS Caliph, Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, through a Syria-based handler, a pledge that was video recorded with him dressed in ISIS attire.
