NIA Detains Ramagundam Suspects in Alleged ISIS Terror Plot
The National Investigation Agency is investigating an alleged terror plan.
It reportedly detained some people, including students, in Ramagundam after recent searches.
The case involves Dr Syed Ahmed Mohiuddin, a doctor from Hyderabad.
Officials say he was connected to ISIS.
They allege that the group planned to use ricin, a dangerous poison, to harm people in public places.
Investigators say Mohiuddin was arrested in Ahmedabad while carrying illegal weapons and castor oil.
They also allege that he used his Hyderabad home to prepare ricin.
The allegations will be considered in court, where Mohiuddin and others have been charge-sheeted.
NIA officials reportedly detained suspects, including students, in Ramagundam, Telangana, after recent raids.
The action is linked to an alleged terror conspiracy involving Hyderabad-based MBBS graduate Dr Syed Ahmed Mohiuddin.
Investigators allege Mohiuddin was connected to ISIS and planned mass poisoning using ricin.
Officials say Mohiuddin was arrested at an Ahmedabad toll plaza in November 2025 while carrying weapons, magazines and castor oil.
Mohiuddin and others have been charge-sheeted before an NIA special court under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Arms Act.
