The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed the first supplementary charge sheet against three Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operatives, including an absconding Pakistani woman, in an online recruitment case registered last year in West Bengal on May 5, reports Daily Excelsior. The chargesheet was filed in the NIA special court, Kolkata against Tania Parveen alias Isranoor and Refite of Malayapur-Baduria (North 24 Parganas District in West Bengal), Sayyad M Idris alias Munna of Anganavadi (Karnataka), and absconding accused Ayesha alias Ayesha Burhan and Ayesha Siddiqi of Gali Brahwali village of Sargoda in Punjab of Pakistan. Parveen was a college student and was radicalised and recruited in cyberspace by Pakistan-based cadres of LeT. She was co-admin of various social media groups espousing secessionist ideas on Kashmir with accused Ayesha Burhan, a Pakistan-based cadre of LeT’s women’s wing. Parveen in association with other accused members of LeT in India and Pakistan indulged in unlawful activities, radicalised, recruited and motivated other people through cyberspace for a violent Jihad (holy war) against India. On Apr 15, the NIA arrested schoolteacher Altaf Ahmad Rather from his residence in Bandipora District of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) in the case. Investigation has revealed that Altaf Ahmad is a schoolteacher in Bandipora and was a sympathiser of the LeT. Parveen had come in contact with him over social media platforms and he was instrumental in introducing her to LeT members based in Pakistan, in pursuance of a conspiracy to radicalise, motivate and recruit youths for violent Jihad (holy war) on India. However, Rather was not named in the chargesheet as further investigation in the case is still going on, said NIA officials.
