Earlier this week, Maharashtra ATS and Kerala Police had nabbed a man identified as Arshi Qureshi, associated with controversial preacher Zakir Naik's Islamic Research Foundation, from Navi Mumbai in connection with the case.
Qureshi was picked up from his Navi Mumbai residence on July 21 and placed under arrest in connection with a case registered in Kochi at Kerala on July 17.
The case was registered days after at least 21 youths from Kerala were reported missing and suspected to have joined the ISIS. A local court in Navi Mumbai had granted Kerala Police Qureshi's transit remand till July 25.
Naik, a city-based televangelist who also runs Peace TV, has been under scanner of various agencies after one of the attackers involved in the Dhaka terror strike posted that he had been influenced by the preacher.
