The six accused, Tabish Siddiqui, Zulfikar Ali, Sharjeel Shaikh and Aakif Ateeque Nachan, Zubair Shaikh and Adnanali Sarkar, were held in July during multiple raids in Maharashtra by the NIA in the ISIS module case.
The accused were found in possession of incriminating material related to ‘Hijrah’ to Syria, along with propaganda magazines like ‘Voice of Hind’ and ‘Voice of Khurasan’ published by ISIS, the NIA said in a press note.
Further, the accused had been sharing DIY (Do It Yourself) kits with their contacts and were also found to be raising funds to finance their terror plans and designs as per NIA investigations, the press note said.
The material seized clearly exposed the strong and active links of the accused with ISIS and their efforts to motivate vulnerable youth to further the terror organisation’s anti-India agenda, the NIA said.
The case was registered by NIA on June 28, 2023 against Tabish Siddiqui and others following information received by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) regarding a conspiracy hatched by them to disturb the unity, integrity, security and sovereignty of the country, and to wage a war against the Government of India by promoting the terrorist activities of ISIS.
Further investigations in the case are continuing in accordance with the provisions of section 173(8) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). PTI AVI BNM BNM
