Cross-Border Terror Conspiracy Raids

Anonymous
India’s National Investigation Agency is searching 16 locations—10 in Assam, five in West Bengal and one in Kerala—in a cross-border terror conspiracy investigation involving Imam Mahmuder Kafila (IMK), described by authorities as an offshoot of the banned Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh. Investigators are seeking evidence of alleged radicalization activities and suspected links across the border, while examining the network’s activities and the people connected to the case. The operation follows a chargesheet filed three months earlier against 11 accused, whom the NIA alleges sought to expand the group’s presence through clandestine meetings, indoctrination programs, extremist material and online propaganda. The agency has said its earlier investigation uncovered documents and electronic records; details of any findings from the current searches have not been reported.
