“Assam Police have continued the crackdown on anti-nationals around the state along with the NIA,” he added.
Islam was detained by the CBI on Tuesday night on suspicion of being a Pakistani agent and having links with terror-related activities.
The police said the CBI conducted a raid in the Moirabari area of Morigaon. Islam was allegedly supplying SIM cards to Pakistani intelligence organizations.
The CBI has seized two laptops and a number of documents from his possession. An official said that he operated a mobile phone store at Saruchala Bazar in the Morigaon district. According to officials, a lawsuit has been filed, and further legal action will be taken.
