New Delhi, February 6
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested two key accused in the Tamil Nadu Hizb ut Tahrir (HuT) case.
The accused, identified as Kabeer Ahmed Aliyar and Bava Bahrudeen alias Mannai Bava, had conspired with others to propagate the HuT ideologies by conducting secret Bayaans.
They were also involved in organising an exhibition to showcase the military might of Islamic nations that would be invited (Nussrah) to overthrow the Indian government, established by law, by waging violent jihad and war, NIA said.
NIA, which had registered the case against six accused persons, had further found during investigations that the accused were influenced by extremist, radical and fundamental ideology of HuT, an international pan-Islamist and fundamentalist organization which is working to re-establish Islamic caliphate and enforce the constitution written by the outfit’s founder Taqi al-Din-al-Nabhani, as per NIA investigations.
The Government of India had, in October 2024, issued a Gazette Notification banning HuT and all its manifestations and front organisation under the UA(P)Act 1967.
NIA is continuing its investigation to unearth the role of the co-conspirators, international network and funding of Hizb-ut-Tharir.
