The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on July 2 conducted raids at multiple locations across three States in connection with a radicalised group named “Ghazwa-e-Hind”, being run by Pakistan-based suspects.
The searches were carried out at five locations in Bihar’s Darbhanga and two places in Patna; Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh; and Surat in Gujarat. The agency seized digital devices, SIM cards and documents.
The case had come to light after the arrest of one Marghoob Ahmad Danish aka Tahir, of Phulwarisharif in Patna, by the Bihar police, which registered a First Information Report (FIR) on July 14 last year. The NIA took over the probe eight days later.
