The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday filed a chargesheet against four persons for allegedly organising training camps and mobilising funds on behalf of terror group Islamic State in Tamil Nadu and Telangana, officials said here.
The agency filed the chargesheet against Haja Fakkurudeen, a Singapore citizen of Indian origin, Khaja Moideen, Shakul Hameed and Ansar Meeran under various Sections of the Indian Penal Code and anti-terror UAPA law, the officials said.
The NIA accused them of allegedly promoting activities of the IS, hatching a criminal conspiracy and forming a terrorist gang that raised and received funds, organised camps, recruited and trained some people, besides facilitating their travel to Syria to join the IS.
The case was registered by the NIA in January last year following a directive from the Home Ministry to investigate information that eight persons from Tamil Nadu and one from Telangana were allegedly indulging in furthering the activities of the IS in the country.
The NIA claimed that the prime accused, Fakkurudeen, had organised and attended conspiracy meetings in India with his associates for raising funds and to recruit people.
