NIA Conducts Searches in Assam, Bengal, Kerala Over IMK Terror Conspiracy Probe
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 and expansion of the group's network in India. Following a chargesheet against 11 accused under anti-terror laws, the NIA also detained an imam in West Bengal for questioning. Investigations continue into the group's operations and cross-border links.
