If I had any idea that he was collecting explosive material, I would not have allowed my son to stay in my house.""It was only after the police came and found the material that I realised what it is," he said.The alleged ISIS operative Abdul Yusuf Khan has been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. He was remanded to eight days in police custody and taken to different places in Uttar Pradesh, including Balrampur, for further investigation, the officials said.( With inputs from IANS )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
