NIA files supplementary chargesheet against an accused in Jamaat-Ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) case

New Delhi, January 16

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a supplementary chargesheet before NIA Special Court in Bhopal.

The case pertains to the arrest of 10 active cadres of proscribed terrorist organization JMB, including six illegal immigrants of Bangladesh. 

The case was initially registered by STF Bhopal and re-registered by NIA in April last year.

The agency had earlier filed a Charge-sheet against six accused in September. 

The NIA investigations have established that accused, Ali Asgar alias Abdullah Bihari had been deeply influenced by the ideology of various proscribed terrorist organizations, such as JMB and Al Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent with an intention to further its activities in India.  He entered into a criminal conspiracy with his associates to influence, radicalize and motivate Indian Muslims to prepare for violent jihad against the  Indian State. 

In pursuance of the said criminal conspiracy, accused Ali Asgar translated Jihadi literature from Urdu/ Arabic to Hindi and uploaded it on social media groups for its circulation amongst impressionable Muslims. 

The NIA's investigations have further established that he 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. 

The accused identified as Ali Asgar alias Abdullah Bihari of East Champaran in Bihar has been chargesheeted under section 120B of IPC and sections 13, 18, 20, 38 & 39 of the UA(P) Act, is as given below:
