A 60-year-old Sikh priest was among three persons who were injured when the bomb went off in the entrance hall of the Gurdwara Nanaksar
India today said it was closely monitoring the investigation into the explosion at a Gurdwara in Germany's western city of Essen which was possibly carried out by ISIS.
"We assume this to be an act of terrorism...the police had held a press conference in which it announced arrest of one Yusuf T who reported to have surrendered after a manhunt was launched," External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said.
He said the police claimed to have got a confession that suggested that he has possible links with the ISIS.
"Investigation is ongoing and more details are awaited. We are closely monitoring the situation," he added.
A 60-year-old Sikh priest was among three persons who were injured when the bomb went off in the entrance hall of the Gurdwara Nanaksar at the end of a wedding ceremony on Saturday.
Replying to a separate query, Mr Swarup said government was committed to bring back Purulia arms drop case prime accused Kim Davy from Denmark.
A Dane, Davy is accused of orchestrating the air-drop of a huge cache of arms and ammunition, including 300 AK-47s, anti-tank grenades and rocket-propelled grenade launchers, from an AN-26 aircraft that he owned on the night of December 17, 1995 in West Bengal's Purulia district.
