New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has found digital devices and various incriminating materials during the raids it conducted on Thursday at multiple locations in Bihar in connection with the Phulwari Sharif case.
The raids were conducted in Patna, Darbhanga, East Champaran, Nalanda and Madhubani districts of Bihar
The case was initially registered on July 12 with Police Station Phulwari Sharif, and later on, after getting directions of the MHA, the NIA re-registered the case on July 22 under sections 120, 120B, 121, 121A, 153A, 153-B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code
The Bihar police had made several arrests in this connection and had identified around 26 suspects.
The raids on July 14 in the Phulwari Sharif area in Patna led to the seizure of documents about the radical group PFI’s ‘Mission 2047’ for making India an Islamic state.
In the suspected terror module case, the security agencies had first arrested Athar Parvez, Mohammad Jalaluddin and Arman Malik. During questioning, they have revealed the names of Margoob and Shabbir.
Margoob was allegedly running a social networking group called ‘Ghazwa-E-Hind’, and was connected with the youth of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
The investigators claimed that Athar Parvez was associated with banned organisation Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), and his brother Manzar Alam was involved in the 2013 serial bomb blast in the Gandhi Maidan rally of then Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
Mohammad Jalaluddin also has some connections with the SIMI.
During the raid, some objectionable documents which indicated that they were involved in brainwashing the Muslim youth were also recovered. They were also working on Mission 2047 of the Popular Front of India (PFI) to make India a Muslim country.
Parvez is said to be member of the SIMI and he had been providing training to youths. Manjar Alam, the brother of Parvez had been arrested in connection with Patna’s Gandhi Maidan bomb blast.
The police has claimed that they had tried to execute terror strike during Modi’s rally.
