- Police in Thrissur detained 25-year-old Roshidul Islam from Assam after a tip-off, alleging he promoted extremist content on social media.
- He had been living in Kaipamangalam for nearly two years while working at a private firm, according to officials.
- Investigators say his activity suggested contacts outside India, including Bangladesh, and they are probing claims he sought AK‑47 rifles from Pakistan.

- The arrest comes as Assam’s STF details structured extremist ecosystems using encrypted platforms, naming links to JMB, IMK and a channel called Purvo Akash.
