They possessed significant information and were extensively utilizing the internet under the guise of the ISIS name. Both minors have been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Sharma emphasized the state’s commitment to expanding the ATS’s reach, especially in major cities, to detect and apprehend such elements. He urged the public to report any social media accounts spreading anti-national content promptly.
