HYDERABAD: Sixteen suspected ISI agents, nine of them Bangladesh nationals, were nabbed from Gorakhpur Express at Secunderabad railway station on Sunday evening.
They were travelling in Gorakhpur-Bangalore express (train no.2591), South Central Railway (SCR) sources said.
On a tip-off by a railway ticket examiner on suspicion of the railway passengers, the railway police apprehended 16 persons and handed over to task force police who whisked them away for questioning, SCR sources said.
However, the city police commissioner B Prasad Rao said only eight passengers, who were hailing from Bangladesh, were taken into custody.
Without giving further details the Commissioner said "we are verifying their antecedents" and it will take two to three days to come to a conclusion whether they have any links with terrorist outfits".
However, unconfirmed reports said 16 passengers were nabbed from the train.
