Chennai Police nabs 3 youths for alleged terror organization links

For alleged links with terror organizations, the Chennai Police conducted raids on the houses of three youths. The three youths are all workers at the same mobile shop in Burma Bazaar, located in Parrys Corner, Chennai.

Following the raids that were conducted in three different localities, the accused were apprehended by the Chennai Police. The three youths have been identified as Zahir Hussain (aged 20), Nawaz (aged 19) and Nagoor Meeran (aged 22). They have been reportedly associated with terror linked activities.

The knockdown comes after their last night encounter with the Traffic Police officials. The three youths were riding on the same two-wheeler while coming back from work. The traffic police positioned at the Kalmandapam sub locality in Royapuram, Chennai, signalled them to stop. They tried to flee the spot. While they were in a bid to escape, the traffic police resorted to knocking them down. The bag they were carrying fell while the policeman tried to catch them. Police searched their bags and found cell phones and tempered glass. What caught people’s attention was a note inside, containing notes on making explosives.

The Intelligence Division police investigated them for several hours and were later handed over to the Royapuram police station. As per the reports, the articles found in their bag led the police to their alleged links with terror organizations.

Out of the three youths, Nagoor Meeran’s connection has been established with a terror organization and he has been arrested. The other two are being interrogated by the police.

Further investigation is underway.
