A team of National Investigating Agency (NIA) Thursday picked up a madrasa teacher from a mosque in Ludhiana on the suspicion of having links with an ISIS module.

Hashim, a sewadar at the mosque, told The Indian Express, “He was working with us on trial basis. He wasn’t a permanent appointee yet. It had only been a month that he had come to Ludhiana from UP and was looking for a job. None from his family lives here. He was teaching children at our madrasa and also working as maulvi. A team from Delhi took him around 6 am today morning. He used to live in mosque only.”
