A special court has extended till October 25 the judicial custody of 16 suspected ISIS operatives, arrested from across the country on charges of

recruiting and financing people to join the terror outfit.

During the proceedings, District Judge Amar Nath passed the order after he was informed by the National Investigation Agency that it has supplied the copies of deficit documents, including statements of protected witnesses in the case, to the accused, sources said.

The court had recently denied interim bail to one of the accused Syed Mujahid, saying his liberty "shall impact the security of the State".

The NIA had filed its charge sheet before the court outlining the role of all the accused in a larger conspiracy of ISIS to further the terror group's ideology.
