New Delhi: A Delhi court on Tuesday extended by seven days the police custody of a Kashmiri couple and another accused who were arrested for allegedly having links with Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) and were reportedly planning a terror attack in the country.
The couple, Jahanzaib Sami and Hina Bashir Beg, were arrested earlier this month for allegedly promoting the Islamic State's ideology and instigating protests against the citizenship act.
Another accused named Abdul Basith was, however, arrested earlier on Tuesday for involvement with the duo.
"Accused persons including Abdul Basith are actively following the ideology of ISIS and planning for terror strike in India and also recruiting cadres for ISKP," police mentioned in the remand copy submitted before the court.
The trio was produced before Additional Sessions Judge Dharmendra Rana on Tuesday.
