The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed its first supplementary charge sheet against nine Muslims for their involvement in a case related to a conspiracy by the Islamic terror outfit ISIS to carry out terror attacks across the country.
The chargesheet has been filed against Mohamed Shariq (25), Maaz Muneer Ahmed (23), Syed Yasin (22), Reeshaan Thajuddin Sheikh (22), Huzair Farhan Baig (22), Mazin Abdul Rahman (22), Nadeem Ahmed KA (22), Zabiulla (32) and Nadeem Faizal N (27).
Five of the accused in the charge sheet have tech backgrounds and had been tasked by the Islamic terror outfit ISIS handlers to pursue courses in robotics to pick up skills for carrying out attacks in the future in furtherance of the Islamic State’s agenda for India.
Ahmed and Syed Yasin were charge-sheeted in March this year. They have now been charged with other offences, the NIA said, adding they along with Reeshaan Thajuddin Sheikh, Mazin Abdul Rahman and Nadeem Ahmed KA studied mechanical and electrical engineering.
“They had been tasked by the foreign-based ISIS handler to pursue robotics courses to pick up skills to carry terrorist attacks in the future in furtherance of the IS (Islamic State) agenda for India,” the NIA said.
