Indian police have arrested a man they named as Mehdi Masroor Biswas on suspicion of offences of cyber terrorism and crimes against the state.
Police also said that he confirmed that he is the man behind the @ShamiWitness account.

However, the Indian police will interrogate him and find the ISI link and link to other Pakistan sponsored Indian Muslim terrorists. Then he can be convicted in India and serve the rest of his life under rigorous imprisonment.
