Death – Obituary – Accident and Crime News : BENGALURU: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted raids on the houses of suspects in Bengaluru as part of an ongoing investigation into a terror module that was busted earlier this year. The raids took place on Wednesday, with NIA sleuths seizing digital devices, documents, and cash amounting to Rs 7.3 lakh.
In July, the Central Crime Branch arrested five men from different parts of the city and recovered a cache of weapons, including four walkie-talkies, seven country-made pistols, 42 live bullets, two daggers, two satellite phones, and four grenades. The accused, identified as Syed Suhail Khan, Syed Mudaseer Pasha, Mohammed Umar, Jahid Tabrez, and Mohammed Fizal Rabbani, are currently in judicial custody at Bengaluru Central Prison. The case was transferred to the NIA last month.
According to the NIA, investigations revealed that the arrested individuals had come into contact with a member of the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), T Naseer, during their time in Bengaluru Central Prison. Naseer had allegedly radicalized and recruited them for carrying out violent terror acts. After their release from prison, the accused, under the leadership of Junaid Ahmed, conspired to commit acts of terror based on instructions from Naseer.
Junaid Ahmed, who is currently on the run, was in regular communication with the other accused through encrypted platforms. The NIA also stated that Junaid provided funding to the group for acquiring weapons and kept them in safe custody.
The raids conducted by the NIA are part of an ongoing effort to dismantle the terror network and prevent any potential attacks. The agency is working tirelessly to gather evidence and build a strong case against the accused. The investigation is expected to shed light on the extent of the terror module’s activities and any potential links to other terrorist organizations.
The NIA’s swift action and thorough investigation highlight the commitment of Indian security agencies to maintain peace and security in the country. The raids serve as a reminder that the fight against terrorism is an ongoing battle, and authorities remain vigilant in their efforts to protect the nation and its citizens.
