Hyderabad: Six of the 11 people who were arrested by the NIA were released on Wednesday night after no evidence was found against them.
They were identified as Syed Naimath Ullah Hussaini alias Yaser Naimathullah, 42, from Moghalpura; Muzaffar Hussain Rizwan, 29, from Talabkatta; Mohd Ataullah Rahman, 30, from Bandlaguda; Mr Abdul alias al Jeelani Abdul Qader Mohsin Mahmood, 32, from Yousuf Gulshan Colony, Hashma-bad; A.M. Azhar, 20, from Talabkatta; and Moham-med Arbaz Ahmed, 21, from Keshogiri, Chand-rayanagutta.
Sources said that the six were picked up on suspicion that they were close to the five arrested IS men. NIA officials had also searched the houses of the six but had not found anything incriminating against them. They also do not have any criminal background.
Official sources said that no cases were registered against the six though they have been put under surveillance to verify some more details. Though they were released, most of them are staying away from their homes fearing stigma.
