New Delhi, January 9
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has chargesheeted another hardcore operative of the global terror organisation ISIS in the Delhi-Padgha ISIS terror module case.
Rizwan Ali is the 21st ISIS operative to be chargesheeted in the case relating to a conspiracy of recruitment and radicalisation of vulnerable youth into the ISIS ideology and fabrication of improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
In its second supplementary chargesheet filed today before the NIA Special Court at Patiala House in New Delhi, NIA has charged Rizwan, a resident of Daryaganj in central Delhi, under various sections of IPC & UA(P) Act.
The accused has been charged with sharing digital files related to IED fabrication with other accused. Besides carrying out several acts preparatory to unleashing of terrorist attacks, he was involved in raising funds to further the ISIS agenda to spread violence in India and destroy its secular ethos and democratic systems, as per NIA investigations. The accused had also taken ‘bayath’ (pledge of allegiance) from another arrested accused, Shahnawaz Alam, a habitual offender in many previous terror cases controlled by handler Saquib Abdul Hamid Nachan, a self-styled Amir-e-Hind for ISIS in India.
The NIA had originally chargesheeted three persons in March 2024 and filed its first supplementary chargesheet against 17 other accused in June 2024 in the case registered in November 2023. During investigation, NIA had seized several incriminating documents and data relating to manufacturing of explosives and fabrication of IEDs, along with propaganda magazines like ‘Voice of Hind’, ‘Rumiyah’, ‘Khilafat’, ‘Dabiq’, published by the proscribed ISIS terror outfit.
