Mangaluru: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday detained one woman from Mastikatte, in Ullal over her suspected connections with terrorist organization ISIS.
The detained woman has been identified as Deepti Maarla alias Mariyam.
NIA reportedly detained her from her house in Mastikatte, Ullal on Monday morning and took her on a tempo traveler van. She was later taken to Wenlock District Hospital for a medical check-up and was produced before the court.
The NIA is reportedly trying to take her to New Delhi for further probe.
In August last year, a team of NIA officials had raided a house in Ullal and had arrested one person named Abdul Rahman after two days of scrutiny. During the course of the investigation, Deepati Maarla alias Maryam came under the scanner. She was initially let go after enquiry in August, following which she has now been detained by the agency.
NIA DSP Krishna Kumar led the team that included Police Inspector Ajay Kumar and Monica Dikwar were part of the operation.
