Terror conspiracy case: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is carrying out raids at 13 locations in the Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh since this morning. These raids are part of the ongoing investigation being carried out into the terror funding case by the agency.
The case is linked to the Bhopal terror funding case involving the proscribed organization, Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). The raids are still underway at the premises of the suspects involved in a terror conspiracy based on specific inputs, said a source privy to the development. NIA's multiple teams launched the raids early on Saturday in close coordination with the Madhya Pradesh Police.
The fresh raids were carried out just two days after the anti-terror agency on May 25 searched two locations in Uttar Pradesh in the Bhopal terror funding case involving JMB.
The searches were aimed at exposing further links and conspiracies of the 10 already arrested accused and charge-sheeted in the case by the NIA Court. Six of the arrested accused are Bangladeshi nationals and are active JMB cadres, said the NIA, adding that they had entered India illegally, without any valid documents. They had acquired false and forged Indian identity documents with the help of JMB sympathisers.
Wednesday's searches at the premises of various suspects led to the seizure of several digital devices (mobile phones), SIM cards, Bank Passbooks and Identity documents. The documents, currently under examination, relate to suspicious transactions related to the transfer of funds by the accused.
