Mohsin Ahmad was arrested by a search party of the NIA on Saturday, a spokesperson of the agency said, following a case filed into ISIS's online and on-ground activities.
The family of a first-year engineering student, who was arrested from Southeast Delhi and accused of being an "active member" of ISIS by the country's anti-terrorism agency, have firmly denied the allegations.
Mohsin Ahmad was a "radicalised" individual who collected funds for the global terror group and was sending the money from different countries to Syria using cryptocurrency, the National Investigation Agency said on Sunday.
Rubbishing the charges, his family said they will challenge the claims in court. They arrived in Delhi from Patna this morning. Mohsin has three sisters, and his father works in the railways.
"If he was raising funds, he should have had lots of money. The day before yesterday, he messaged me to ask for Rs 4,000 to do a coding course," one of his sisters told NDTV.
