The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the Islamic State (IS) terror module in Tamil Nadu revealed the terror sleeper cell’s links with the banned outfit Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports Times Now on July 17. Earlier NIA conducted raids in several locations after 14 persons were deported from the UAE on July 15 for allegedly raising funds to establish an IS unit in India. The NIA also questioned the prime accused in the case, identified as Syed Bukhari, who is believed to be a former cadre of SIMI and is the president of an outfit called Wahadat-e-Islam, which is supposedly an offshoot of the banned outfit SIMI. Bukhari was currently in Kochi (Ernakulam District of Kerala) for further questioning. According to sources, Wahadat-e-Islam was registered as a ‘social organisation’ from Saharanpur in Saharanpur District of Uttar Pradesh in 2006. The president of the organisation, Syed Bhukari is a businessman. The organisation has held several meetings across Tamil Nadu. Ever since it was established in Tamil Nadu, the group had been under the radar of intelligence agencies. However, the outfit has denied having any connection with SIMI, with its leaders claiming that it was only a religious and social organisation.

The NIA who had recovered electronic gadgets, including mobile phones and laptops, after raiding the residences and offices of some members of the ‘Shahadat (martyrdom) is our goal’ WhatsApp group, have sent them to the Knowledge Resource Centre (KRC), a division of the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), for retrieval of data, reports The Hindu on July 18. Sources said the three laptops and as many hard disks, 16 mobile phones, eight SIM cards, two pen drives, five memory cards and a card reader, seized from the accused in Kilakarai and Devipattinam in the Ramanathapuram District and from places in other districts, had been sent to KRC - C-DAC in Thiruvananthapuram for retrieving data, deleted messages and video clips. The accused were active in an exclusive WhatsApp group and had conspired to raise funds to procure arms to eliminate those who spoke against Islam. The NIA initially believed that the accused were ‘novices’ who made a vain bid to procure a pistol, but detailed investigation revealed that they had established a strong network with Coimbatore-based Kaja Mohideen, leader of a radical outfit, who believed in setting up a unit of the IS in India, sources said.

The Union Home Ministry told a Tribunal constituted under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) that the Students Islamic Movements of India (SIMI) was filing applications under the Right to Information Act (RTI) to help its members under trial in various courts, reports The Hindu on August 29. To impose the recent ban, the Tribunal examined at least 34 cases registered against the members of SIMI since January 2014 and noted that activists of SIMI continue to have “links with number of other terrorist organizations Al-Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), Islamic State (IS), Indian Mujahideen (IM) etc.” The Tamil Nadu Police deposed that “SIMI activists/cadres are regrouping themselves under the banner of Wahadat-e-Islaami Hind (WeIH) to expand their militant outreach among Muslim youth under the guise of spreading Islamic ideology. SIMI activists under the guise of WeIH continue to hold meetings, classes, symposium, seminars etc. to spread their anti-national ideology.” The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Delhi Police told the Tribunal that terror outfit Indian Mujahideen’s chief Riyaz Bhatkal “was making his efforts and using the cadres of SIMI for furthering the unlawful activities of IM.”
