According to the NIA, its raids followed credible inputs that the four arrested accused and their associates “had recruited youth and trained them in the fabrication of Improvised Explosive Devices and weapons”.
The NIA has also invoked Sections 18 (conspiracy), 18A (organising terrorist camps), 18B (recruiting of any person or persons for terrorist act), 38 (membership of a terrorist organisation) and 39 (support given to a terrorist organisation) of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
The chargesheet was filed in a case related to a global terrorist network and a transnational organised crime syndicate, namely D-Company, which is involved in various terrorist and criminal activities in India.
