The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted searches at 16 locations across Assam, West Bengal, and Kerala linked to a cross-border terror conspiracy involving Imam Mahmuder Kafila (IMK), an offshoot of the banned Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). The probe targets alleged radicalisation activities, recruitment of vulnerable youth, and expansion of the terror network in India. Six arrests were made in Assam's Barpeta district, including an imam from West Bengal. The accused face charges under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, 2023 and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
