Alleged ISIS member Mudabbir Mustaq Sheikh, arrested from neighbouring Thane district, was today produced before a court here which granted NIA his transit remand for three days so that he could be produced before a court in Delhi.
Sheikh (40) was arrested last night from Amrit Nagar area of Thane district in a joint operation of Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad and the National Investigation Agency.

Special NIA court's judge N K More then granted the agency Sheikh's 3-day transit remand.
