Earlier, in October 2016, the NIA had busted the ISIS module from Kanakamala in Kannur district when the members were holding a meeting to chalk out plans to carry out terror attacks against prominent people, including judges, police officers and politicians, and foreign tourists.
The court is hearing arguments on the quantum of punishment to be awarded for the convicts.
