Aligarh: The Anti-Terror Squad of Uttar Pradesh arrested six suspected ISIS operatives in different parts of the state, media reported.

The arrested individuals are linked to Students of Aligarh Muslim University (SAMU), the university's student organisation, and were acquainted through SAMU meetings, reported India Today.

Four of them have been identified as Rakib Inam, Naved Siddiqui, Mohammad Noman, and Mohammad Nazim.
