A man suspected of being behind a pro-Isis Twitter account has been arrested by Indian police just days after the company executive was exposed by Channel Four. Mehdi Masroor Biswas, 24, was arrested by police at his home in Belgaluru after they discovered the man’s true identity.Police are questioning him in connection with waging a war against the state over his online identity.
Police Commissioner M N Reddi said he was particularly close to the English-speaking terrorists of ISIS and became a source of incitement and information for the new recruits trying to join ISIS/ISIL.’However, the man’s father said: ‘My son is not linked to any jihadi group.’ India has the world’s third-largest Muslim population, yet police believe that only four Indians have flown to the Middle East for jihad, one of whom was arrested upon his return to India.
