The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on March 17, arrested a student of mechanical engineering in Durgapur in connection with its case against the Islamic State (IS), reports Indian Express. A resident of Hooghly, Ashiq Ahmed was arrested by the agency after several days of questioning. He is alleged to be part of the Junud-al-Khilafa-e-Hind (JKH), a self-appointed IS “franchise” run on the directions of former Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Shafi Armar.Sources said Ahmed came in contact with Mohammed Nafees Khan, ‘finance chief’ of JKH, while surfing jihadi videos over the internet. Khan, who is currently under arrest, reportedly met Ahmed in Kolkata and got him appointed as ‘chief’ of JKH’s Bengal unit. “Ahmed took Khan around Kolkata to identify vital installations that could be targeted by JKH. Ahmed also expressed his intention to target a TMC MLA for the murder of a Muslim political rival. However, all these plans were still at a nascent stage,” said an NIA officer.“On instructions from Khan, Ahmed also got in touch with five youths in West Bengal and was motivating them to join jihadi activity,” said an NIA officer. Meanwhile, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) handed over the cases of suspected IS operatives in custody of Delhi Police and Maharashtra ATS to the NIA. Since all the accused were part of the same group, a decision was taken to hand over the cases to NIA, which has registered an “open FIR” against the IS. “The agency will soon take custody of the accused with the two police forces,” said an UMHA official.

Engineering student Aashiq Ahmed, arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) from Hooghly in West Bengal for being part of Islamic State (IS), had plans to kill the Trinamool Congress MLA (Member of Legislative Assembly) from Hooghly, Asima Patra, as he suspected her role in the murder of another TMC leader Kazi Naseeruddin in 2013, Economic Times reports on June 28.Naseeruddin was arrested by Dhanekala Police Station in 2013 and died in custody. According to Aashiq, Naseeruddin was a "very powerful and popular leader from his locality. He was implicated in a false case in connivance with the local police and murdered inside the police lock-up," he is believed to have said. According to NIA, Aashiq had plans to kidnap the MLA and demand extortion for her release as part of Mal-e-Ganimat (war-booty).He also intended to provide a portion of the extorted money to the family of Naseeruddin in order to help the family raise his minor children, said a senior official who questioned Aashiq. However, he was advised by another member of IS inspired radical outfit Junoode-Khalifa-e-Hind to put his plans on hold for the time being. Aashiq claimed that he also had plans to target a former TMC leader Jiten Sarkar for his alleged role in instigating the tribal people staying near a cemetery not to allow Muslims perform last rites at the cemetery.According to him, he was drawn towards IS when he started reading a book in 2014 that detailed the rise of Imam Mehdi at a place called Khurasan in Afghanistan. Aashiq later opened a Facebook account and started liking posts related to IS and browsed through pages with title such as "Children of Gaza in Smile and Tears", "Support for Palestine" and "Justice for Palestine". He later came in contact with Mohammad Nafees who introduced him to Shafi Armar alias Yusuf-al-Hindi. Armar is a former Indian Mujahideen (IM) 'commander' who is now believed to be operating from Syria and had pledged allegiance to the Abu-Bakr-al-Baghdadi-led caliphate.
