<p>&quot;The slain terror suspect belongs to the Khurasan module of the ISIS and was an active member. But, whether he has been indoctrinated or not is a matter of investigation,&quot; Arun said.</p>

<p>The ATS commandos then stormed inside the house (after issuing a warning to the terrorist), Arun said, adding &quot;The suspected terrorist then fired at the ATS commandos, which was then appropriately retaliated by the ATS commandos.

<p>The commandos also saw a wire wrapped around the stomach of the terror suspect, Arun said.</p>
