Bhopal, August 9: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested two accused in connection with the JMB Bhopal case. The case is related to the arrest of six active members of Bangladesh-based proscribed terror outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JMB).
"The accused are highly radicalized individuals and involved in propagating Jihad by posting hateful and incriminating materials online in various groups on different social media platforms to radicalize other people. They were close associates of earlier arrested accused persons in the instant case and were found using encrypted apps to communicate with their associates in India and Bangladesh," said NIA.
Notably, the case was initially registered on March 14 this year in Bhopal and then was re-registered by NIA on April 5, 2022. Following this, NIA also conducted searches at 6 locations in MP, UP and Bihar.
The arrested men were identified as Fazhar Ali alias Mehmood (32), Mohd Aqeel alias Ahmed (24), Zahooruddin alias Ibrahim alias Milon Pathan alias Jauhar Ali (28) and Fazhar Zainul Abdeen alias Akram Al Hasan alias Hussain.
JMB is the outfit that carried out a terror attack at a popular cafe in Bangladesh’s Dhaka in 2016. At least 22 people were killed in the attack. Recently, it has been claimed that the outfit is trying to lay its roots in India now. In 2014, the terror group carried out bomb blasts in Bardhaman, West Bengal, in which two people were killed.
This includes 3 illegal immigrants from Bhopal in July this year, who were allegedly involved in propagating JMB ideology and motivating the youth to carry out violence against India.
