Bayancuk was arrested as part of the investigation against the militant group carried out by Sakarya Chief Public Prosecutor's Office, the source, who asked not to be named due to restrictions on talking to media, told Anadolu Agency.

The suspect, who is also known as Abu Hanzala, will be brought to northwestern Sakarya province.
