NIA Conducts Multi-State Raids, Arrests 13 in Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh Offshoot Case
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted searches at 16 locations across Assam, West Bengal, and Kerala targeting the Imam Mahmuder Kafila (IMK), an offshoot of the banned Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). The operation followed a chargesheet against 11 accused involved in a cross-border terror conspiracy focused on radicalising youth and expanding extremist networks in India. Thirteen individuals were arrested across the three states, with digital devices seized as evidence. The probe highlights efforts to curb the group's activities and its alleged use of clandestine meetings, literature, and digital platforms.
