In a fresh chargesheet in the Jamaat-Ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) case registered in April last year in Madhya Pradesh, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said a Bihar-based operative of the banned terror organisation translated “Jihadi literature from Urdu/Arabic to Hindi” and uploaded it on social media groups for its circulation amongst impressionable Muslims.”
Ali Asgar alias Abdullah Bihari alias Umair, a resident of Bihar’s East Champaran District who has been named in the supplementary chargesheet, had been deeply influenced by the ideology of various proscribed terror organisations, such as JMB and Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent intending to further its activities in India, mentions the chargesheet.
NIA informed the court through the chargesheet that Ali Asgar entered into a criminal conspiracy with his associates. The purpose was to influence and radicalise Indian Muslims to prepare for violent jihad against India.
Investigations have further established that Asgar was involved in causing disaffection against India through false and distorted preachings that democracy was anti-Islamic and Muslims were being persecuted in India because of democracy, said the chargesheet.
The NIA filed the chargesheet before a special court in Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal against Asgar in the JMB case pertaining to the arrest of 10 active terrorists of the proscribed terror organisation, including six illegal immigrants of Bangladesh, in March last year.
Asgar was chargesheeted under section 120B of the Indian Penal Code and various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
The case was registered on March 14 last year by the Bhopal Police and re-registered by the NIA on April 5 last year. The investigative agency had earlier filed a chargesheet against six accused on September 7 last year.
The case was filed based on reliable information received that four illegal immigrants, namely Fazar Ali, Jahiruddin Ali, Jain-Ul-Abdin, and Mohammad Akhil Ahmed Shaikh, residing at the house of Nayab Jahan located near Fatima Bi Masjid, Aishabag Police Station area in Bhopal District, were propagating the ideology of JMB and were raising funds for the organisation. They were also motivating youth to perform Jihad against India.(ANI)
