India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) had earlier this week arrested an Islamic State operative in Karnataka, who had also travelled to Kashmir to deepen the ISIS roots.  

Working in coordination with the Karnataka Police, the anti-terror agency arrested Mundadiguttu Sadananda Marla Deepthi Marlah following her suspected ISIS links.

Marlah alias Maryam is the wife of Anas Abdul Rahiman, a resident of Mangalore and daughter-in-law of B M Basha, son of late B M Idinabba, the three-time Congress MLA from the Ullal constituency.

NIA said that, during the investigation, it has been revealed that after the decline of ISIS Caliphate in Syria/Iraq, Maryam and Mohammad Ameen, who was arrested in March 2021 by the agency, had visited Kashmir in January and March 2020 for Hijrah (religious migration) and for engaging in terrorist acts and supporting the activities of ISIS.

Investigation has also revealed that Marlah or Deepthi Marlah was the kingpin of the instant ISIS conspiracy along with Mohd Ameen.

Earlier in August 2021, NIA had conducted searches and arrested 11 accused persons for raising funds, radicalising and motivating people to join ISIS.

Three accused, namely Mohd. Ameen, Dr. Rahees Rasheed, and Mus'Hab Anwar were arrested in March 2021.

Indian scientists develop better technique to detect Covid-19

A team of Indian scientists has developed a new technology platform for fluorometric detection of SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) that is more reliable than the existing techniques, according to information provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology.  The technology platform detects viruses by measuring the fluorescent light that is emitted and can also be used to detect other DNA/RNA pathogens such as HIV, influenza, HCV, Zika, Ebola, bacteria, and other mutating pathogens. Scientists from Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, an autonomous institute of the government, along with scientists from IISc (India Institute of Science), have demonstrated a noncanonical nucleic acid-based G-quadruplex (GQ) topology targeted reliable conformational polymorphism (GQ-RCP) platform to diagnose Covid-19 clinical samples. This work has been published recently in the journal ‘ACS Sensors’ and the team has also filed a patent for the novel technology. Read More
