National Investigation Agency (NIA) has registered a case against around 7-8 youths hailing from Kerala and Karnataka but based in Qatar who travelled to or prepared for travel to Syria since 2013 to join terrorist outfits Jund al-Aqsa (JAA) and Jabhat-ul-Nusra, reports The Hindu on January 9. Jund al-Aqsa, a militant group operating primarily in Idlib and Hama provinces of Syria, was proscribed in 2017 by the UN for being associated with the Islamic State (IS) and Al Qaida in Iraq.The youths are believed to have been radicalised while living in Qatar and had conducted preparations for or travelled to Syria from 2013 onwards. NIA officials stated that ongoing investigation into other cases involving youth from Kerala who had attempted to or joined IS, threw up information on these Qatar-based youth having joined terrorist groups other than IS in Syria. “NIA is aware of the identity and addresses of these youth. However, it is not clear how the youth travelled to Syria and if they are still alive or dead’. In past instances, youth from Kerala have travelled to Syria via two routes. First, travelling to Turkey by flight and then crossing the border illegally to reach Syria, and second, taking a flight to a Gulf country and then travelling to Iran from where they travel to Turkey by road before crossing over to Syria. JAA is comprised of approximately 1,600 militants, mostly foreign terrorist fighters.

The NIA team headed by an officer of the rank of Deputy Superintendent (DSP) or above is likely to take Srinivas into custody from Vijayawada jail on January 12 (today).

The Enforcement Directorate on May 2 filed its first direct charge sheet against Islamic preacher Zakir Naik on charges of laundering criminal money to the tune of INR 193 crore and allegedly creating illegal real estate assets worth crores in India and abroad, officials said, reports The New Indian Express. The agency filed the prosecution complaint under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) before a special court in Mumbai and said Naik's "inflammatory speeches and lectures have inspired and incited a number of Muslim youths in India to commit unlawful activities and terrorist acts. His thoughts created disharmony amongst various faiths and created hatred amongst people following different faiths," it said. This is the second charge sheet in the case by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), but the first against Naik that specifically underlines his role. The agency claimed its probe revealed that "most of the incriminating speeches of Naik were delivered during the 10-day Peace Conference organised by the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) in Mumbai during the period between 2007-2011." The IRF is owned and promoted by Naik. "The said conference was planned, organised, funded and promoted by the IRF and people of other religions were openly converted into Islam by Naik," it charged. "Investigation has also revealed that Naik was also involved in suspicious unaccounted cash transactions," it said.

Nisar Ahmed Sayyed Bilal, whose son Sayyed Azhar died in the 2008 Malegaon blast, filed a plea before a special court on May 13, seeking directions to the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) to assist the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in the ongoing trial, reports The Indian Express. “The ATS has not been present during the trial proceedings while ATS witness statements are being recorded by this court. It is unfortunate that the investigating agency that recorded material statements and drew panchnamas against the present accused is not interested in the trial proceedings without any cogent reasons,” the application filed by Bilal through lawyer Shahid Nadeem states. “The NIA and ATS must work in symphony for a fair prosecution. Instances such as tracing documents and witnesses have been a herculean task and without the assistance of ATS officers, it becomes even more difficult to deal with such instances, often leading to delays and adjournments,” the plea states. The court has directed the NIA to file its reply on the application on May 20. SPP AvinashRasal has been representing both the NIA and the ATS in the trial since 2015.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested two persons, identified as Hassan Ali (28), and Harish Mohamed (32) for allegedly conspiring to form a terror group in the State from Nagapattinam District of Tamil Nadu on July 14, reports Hindustan Times. The duo was arrested a day after a 14-member team of NIA officials conducted raids on July 13 at four locations in Chennai and Nagapattinam and busted a gang which allegedly conspired, collected funds and made preparations to carry out terrorist attacks in India with the intention of establishing Islamic rule in the country. The NIA said it recovered nine mobiles, 15 SIM cards, seven memory cards, three laptops, five hard discs, six pen drives, two tablets and three CDs/DVDs besides documents including magazines, banners, notices, posters and books during the raids on July 13. NIA, in its statement, said that the arrests were made on the basis of “incriminating facts revealed during the searches and subsequent investigation”. It added that Ali and Mohamed were produced in a special NIA court in Chennai and remanded in the agency’s custody until July 24. The Times of India adds that according to NIA sources, a new Tamil Nadu based terror outfit, ‘Ansarulla’ was “planning to strike at democratic institutions with terror acts in order to establish the rule of Sharia in the country”. NIA had on July 9 registered a case against three identified accused and others based on NIA’s information regarding the group’s plans to strike terror in the country, for which they had collected funds and made preparations. “The group’s intention was to strike at the democratic institutions of India with the intention of establishing supremacy of Sharia law,” an NIA officer said. The NIA also said that the accused and others “while being within and beyond India, had conspired and conducted consequent preparations to wage war against the Government of India by forming the terrorist gang Ansarulla”. As for the linkages of the Ansarulla to a known jihadi outfit like the Islamic State (IS), an officer said the same shall be established after forensically examining the documents and computer resources recovered during the searches.

According to a charge sheet filed by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in a Mumbai court, members of an "Islamic State (IS)-inspired" terror group arrested from Maharashtra in January 2019 for allegedly planning mass killing at a temple were inspired by speeches of controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, reports India Today on July 24. The accused had tried to poison the temple's 'mahaprasad' (holy food) at the temple, it said, adding that they also underwent training for making explosives and poison and participated in blast trials at a hill near the Mumbra bypass in Thane District. As SATP had reported earlier, the Maharashtra ATS arrested 10 members of the ‘Ummat-E-Mohammaddiya’ group, allegedly having links with the terror group IS, from Mumbra and Aurangabad in January 2019 and foiled their plans of mass-casualty attacks using poisonous chemical mixtures at big gatherings. After a detailed investigation, the ATS earlier this month filed a charge sheet containing stunning revelations before a Mumbai court. According to the charge sheet, "the accused were inspired by speeches of Naik", against whom charges of money laundering have been filed by the Enforcement Directorate. The ATS found several videos featuring Naik and his images on social media profiles of the accused, it said.

The Supreme Court (SC) on August 2 upheld the conviction of a woman, Yasmeen Mohammed Zahid, a native of Bihar, who was found to have joined the Islamic State (IS) along with a group of Kerala youth, on the counts of criminal conspiracy and association with a banned terror outfit with intention to further its activities, reports The Hindu. However, SC Bench disagreed with the Centre that the young woman, waged war or attempted/abetted war against the government of any Asiatic power in alliance with or at peace with the government of India. The court further found that she was not guilty, as the Centre claimed, of raising funds for the IS or garnering support for the terror outfit by arranging and managing meetings to encourage support for the outfit. Yet, the SC found her guilty of association (with IS ideology), saying she had attended classes propagating its ideology by her husband. According to a complaint received by the local Police in Kerala in July 2016, Yasmeen, who was staying at Kasaragod District of Kerala, had first left India with 14 others, including her husband to join the IS. She was the only one to stand trial among them. The SC for National Investigation Agency (NIA) cases, in March 2018, found her guilty for offences charged under the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

A Thai court of appeal has overturned a lower court verdict of 2018 and denied senior D-Company operative, Munna Jhingada’s extradition to India, reports The Times of India on October 2. Jhingada served 16 years in prison in Thailand for an assassination attempt on underworld don Chotta Rajan. New Delhi was hopeful that his extradition would help it establish his boss Dawood Ibrahim’s presence in Pakistan. According to intelligence sources, it was Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) that prepared Jhingada’s Pakistani passport in the fake name of Mohammed Saleem to facilitate his visit to Thailand for executing the assassination of Chhota Rajan. Even after he reached Thailand for the assigned task, his protection was taken care of by the Embassy of Pakistan. After his conviction, ISI officials tried to get Jhingada’s sentence reduced through the Pakistani Embassy. India too made a formal request for Jhingada’s extradition, first in March 2012 and then on December 27, 2016. Jhingada was released on December 27, 2016 but immediately rearrested and imprisoned under Extradition Act.
