NIA Conducts Raids Across Multiple States in Online Terror Radicalisation and RSS Attack Cases
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted coordinated raids at 20 locations across 9-10 states and Delhi related to an online terror radicalisation case involving alleged attempts to promote ISIS and AQIS ideologies and establish an Islamic state in India through violent jihad. The investigation began after the arrest of key accused Rehmatullah Sharif Mohammad in Vijayawada in March. So far, 11 adults and one juvenile have been arrested. Digital devices and evidence were seized for forensic analysis. Separately, NIA also searched locations linked to a petrol bomb attack on an RSS office in Ranchi, involving suspects connected to the ISI-backed Tehreek-e-Taliban Hindustan.
