Seeking 'Revenge On Kafirs': NIA Files Charge Sheet Against Seven Suspected ISIS Terrorists

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a charge sheet against seven suspected ISIS terrorists for allegedly planning attacks across India.

According to the chargesheet, investigations uncovered that the accused were involved in fundraising to promote ISIS activities on the directions of their handlers.

They wanted to engineer violence and terror in the country, NDTV reported citing NIA sources.

The chargesheet said that all the suspects were educated and technically sound, adding that they conducted several meetings in Pune, Maharashtra, and made plans to recruit additional members via WhatsApp groups.

The group employed code words like 'vinegar' or 'sirka' for sulphuric acid, 'rosewater' for acetone, and 'sherbat' for hydrogen peroxide to purchase chemicals for IEDs.

The NIA also confiscated a set of documents titled "Revenge on Kafirs," outlining their strategy to advance ISIS activities in India.

"They wanted to take revenge on alleged atrocities on Muslims by Kafirs (non-Muslims)," officials said.

According to officials, the accused travelled through several states, such as Maharashtra, Karnataka, Goa, Telangana, and Kerala, to identify potential targets to carry out the blasts.

The NIA has further alleged that the accused maintained communication with foreign handlers, keeping them informed about the progress in their plans.
