The spokesperson also said that the student "glamorized terrorism" on his social media handles while being in constant touch with some cyber or virtual entities who are radicalizing and motivating the youth to join militant ranks.

The student, as per CIK, "also consumes the radical content available on the Internet."

He was about to join the militant ranks, said the spokesperson.

They said, a team of CIK apprehended Bhat Navidul Ali for questioning even as Ali's parents and neighbours have been called for counselling.
