“None of them has been found involved in militancy so far. Now what are the reasons for them to display such flags would be established by the inquiry going on in these cases.”

A media flutter was created here during the last few months because some masked youths displayed the flags of the terror outfit ISIS that is active in Iraq and Syria.

It must be mentioned that ISIS cadres have now renamed their group as “fighters of the Islamic State”.
