The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday filed a charge sheet against four members of an ISIS module based in Kerala’s Thrissur for their involvement in raising funds to promote the agenda of the global terror network, an official said.
They were identified as Mathilakath Kodayil Ashif alias Ashif M K, Seyid Nabeel Ahammed alias Nabeel, Shiyas T S and Saheer E P alias Saheer Turkey.
They have been charged under various sections of the IPC and the UAPA, a spokesperson of the federal agency said.
The official said Ashif and Nabeel were members of the erstwhile National Development Front (NDF) as well as the banned Popular Front of India (PFI), and had committed murders for the PFI.
The duo got into violent extremist and jihadi ideologies through the PFI, followed by activities of the India Fraternity Forum while in Qatar, the official said, adding in Qatar, the two had joined ISIS through other Indian nationals who had migrated earlier and joined the terror group in their controlled territories.
The investigation established that in order to raise funds for their eventual migration to ISIS-controlled territories, the accused persons had conspired and established an ISIS module in India with the aim of radicalising and recruiting impressionable youth, the spokesperson said.
