According to the NIA, the suspect,
identified as Mohsin Ahmad, was taken into custody on Saturday. Ahmad, a
resident of Patna, is said to have been a "active member of the ISIS"
by the investigating agency. "He was detained for his involvement in
soliciting donations for ISIS from supporters both inside and outside of India.
He was transferring these cash in the form of bitcoin to Syria and other
locations in order to support ISIS operations, according to the NIA.

activities of ISIS. The NIA registered the complaint on its own initiative on
June 25. The agency added that additional inquiries were ongoing.
