Investigators also brought the shop owner to the police for further questioning, revealing that she had no connection to terror group ISIS.

According to People's Daily Online, Chen Hong has revealed to reporters that she did not know of ISIS when she branded the business three years ago.

The brand is supposed to stock high-end clothing for women and has no connection with the terror group.

At present, Chen Hong is yet to decide on what her new brand will be.
