Even as media reports claimed that the suspected ISIS members arrested in the recent nationwide NIA crackdown had revealed their plot to attack Goa, the state police today said they were yet to receive any formal communication in this regard. "We did not get any official communication on it," Goa's Inspector General of Police (IGP) V Renganathan told PTI today.

The media reports suggested that two ISIS terrorists arrested in Hyderbad had confessed to plans on targeting Goa. "We read it in media (reports) and we are following the lead in our own informal manner. We got information through sources that ISIS had conducted a Reece in the state. We can't comment anything right now as we are investigating all the possibilities," a senior police official said on the condition of anonymity.

The NIA and other central security agencies arrested 14 people last week for allegedly planning to carry out attacks in the country ahead of Republic Day.
