The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Saturday conducted searches in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan in connection to a probe linked to a terror conspiracy by the banned outfit Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT) to radicalise Muslim youth.
It has been learnt that three locations were extensively searched in Bhopal and two at Jhalawar in Rajasthan. The development comes as agency was probing into the activities of HuT and its members.
The searches were part a case registered by the NIA as part of its efforts to destroy various terrorist and radical networks and outfits trying to spread mayhem across India, which relates to an HuT conspiracy to radicalise and recruit vulnerable Muslim youth, news agency PTI reported citing a statement issued by the probe agency.
“The youth were being motivated to spread violence in a bid to overthrow India’s democratically elected government and establish an Islamic State governed by Shariah law,” it said.
The NIA teams seized digital devices during the searches, which will be sent for forensic analysis, the statement said.
