The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday carried out searches at 31 locations in Tamil Nadu and Telangana as part of a crackdown on a radicalisation and recruitment campaign by the Islamic State (IS) terror group.
The agency seized several digital devices, documents, and incriminating books in vernacular and Arabic languages during the searches, in addition to ₹60 lakh in Indian currency and $18,200. The NIA is in the process of examining the data in the seized mobile phones, laptops and hard discs, it said in a press release.
