The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a supplementary chargesheet against two persons, who have been accused of being affiliated to the Islamic State terror outfit.
They have been identified as Afshan Parvaiz Jarabi and Tawheed Latief Sofi, both residents of Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir. They have been arraigned in connection with a case registered by the agency in June 2021, pertaining to a conspiracy by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to radicalise and recruit the youth in India.
The accused were part of a group that ran an organised campaign over the cyberspace, supplemented by on-ground terror financing activities. “The case was registered against cyber entity, Qasim Khurasani, and his associates. Earlier, a chargesheet was filed against four ISIS terrorists in this case on January 6,” said the agency.
