Rizwan Ali, an ISIS terrorist, was apprehended by the Delhi Police Special Cell today, just days before the Independence Day celebrations in the national capital.

The arrest took place Thursday night, following an intelligence tip-off.

The operation resulted in the seizure of a .30 bore star pistol and three live cartridges from Rizwan Ali. Two mobile phones were also confiscated during his arrest, and authorities are currently examining the data from these devices to gather more information about his activities and potential connections.
The NIA had previously announced a reward of Rs 3 lakh for information leading to his capture. Rizwan Ali’s association with ISIS, specifically the Pune Module, had made him a wanted figure, and his presence in the capital was particularly alarming in the lead-up to the national holiday.
According to the police, Rizwan Ali and his associates had conducted a reconnaissance of several VIP areas in Delhi.
His involvement with ISIS had already led to him being booked under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). The Delhi Police Special Cell had similarly registered a case against him under the UAPA and the Explosive Act.
