NAGPUR: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday carried out raids in Telangana Hyderabad and Maharashtra’s Wardha in connection with an Islamic State module case, sources said. According to sources, the raids are underway at three places in Hyderabad and one place in Wardha since early morning.
In Telangana, two other teams of NIA are also conducting searches and in Hyderabad they are raiding three locations, sources said.
In Maharashtra, the raid was being conducted in Wardha district after learning that the second wife of Abdul Basith charge-sheeted in Abu Dhabi ISIS module case , is highly radicalised and in touch with ISIS handlers abroad.
Sources informed the suspected woman has been detained and is being interrogated.
It must be mentioned here that the NIA had filed a charge sheet against two accused , Mohammad Abdullah Basith and Mohammad Abdul Qhadeer on February, 7 in connection with its probe in the Abu Dhabi ISIS module case. Both are still in jail.
Mr Basith was continuously making efforts to propagate the ideology of the ISIS in India, for which he had entered into a conspiracy with the handlers of the global terror group and his associates.
As per sources, he and his associates were involved in motivating credulous Muslim youths to join hands with him in the conspiracy.
Mr Qhadeer came under the influence of Basith because of their common intention to propagate the ISIS ideology in India, for which he had actively started meeting the other gang members. The recovery of explosive substances from him reveals his intention to fabricate an improvised explosive device (IED).
The NIA had registered a case to investigate this module in 2016.
Further details are awaited. (AGENCIES)
