Siraj-Ur-Rehaman, Syed Sameer being grilled at Police Training College in Vizianagaram
The accused are being grilled every day, ever since they were remanded into one week police custody, a couple of days ago, at the Police Training College in Vizianagaram. The officials who came from Chennai and other places are coordinating with one another and sharing the inputs provided by the two accused persons who were arrested one week ago and later taken into police custody with the permission of a court in Vizianagaram.
As the court directed them not to adopt third degree methods during police custody, the senior cops are confining to a volley of questions. According to sources, the accused informed the officers that they used chat and contact with one another with the support of Magic Lantern and free-open source software, which allows sharing of raw video footage and pictures. The officials took the support of techies to retrieve the data and footage shared by them with others who stayed abroad.
As part of maintaining absolute secrecy, the officials of the intelligence agencies have allowed only select local senior police officials during the interrogation at the PTC , which is currently under the control of National Investigation Agency. The regular employees of PTC are also not being allowed to enter the interrogation rooms. A senior team of doctors from Vizianagaram Government General Hospital checked the health of both the accused persons and said that their blood pressure and other health parameters were normal.
NIA officials are expected to grill the family members of Siraj-Ur-Rehaman, a resident of Abad street of Vizianagaram. The locals particularly neighbours of Siraj's house are worried with the spread of news of his involvement in terrorist activities. Siraj later developed contact with Syed Sameer of Hyderabad and shared vital data with regard to terrorist plots. The cops have not allowed Siraj family members to withdraw the amount from a cooperative bank located near Fort junction. It was learnt that around ₹42 lakh is available in Siraj and his family members' accounts. The bank officials are not allowing the locker to be opened as soon as Siraj was taken into custody in the case.

‘Possibility of reformation, no criminal past'—why Kerala HC modified life term of former IS operative
While dismissing Haja's appeal against the 2020 judgment of the Ernakulam special court, the division bench of Justices Raja Vijayaraghavan V and K.V. Jayakumar took into account the NIA's charges that the convict made an unsuccessful attempt to procure explosives. Additionally, the court Thursday also factored in Subahani Haja's past clean record, as well as the National Investigation Agency (NIA) not charging him with any 'specific overt acts' after his return from Iraq in 2015. New Delhi: Citing mitigating factors such as the possibility of reformation, the Kerala High Court has modified the life sentence of a former Islamic State (IS) operative to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment. The NIA had gathered intelligence inputs about a module of IS comprising around 15 individuals secretly working in southern states to collect explosives. Bhaja was arrested on 5 October 2016—two days after the NIA searched his rented accommodation and more than a year after he returned from Iraq via Turkey. He had left India in April 2015 and proceeded to join the terrorist outfit by entering Iraq through Turkey. But, he returned months later through the same route in September 2015. 'Applying the principles of law laid down in the aforementioned cases and having regard to the totality of facts and circumstance of this case, we are of the considered opinion that the ends of justice would meet, if we reduce the sentence of the appellant from imprisonment for life to rigorous imprisonment for 10 years, imposed under Section 20 of the UAPA (Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act),' the bench observed. 'The rest of the findings of the learned special judge are upheld.' Also Read: ED attaches Rs 29,176 from bank account used to receive ISIS funds for 2022 Mangaluru IED blast The charges To join the IS, Haja stayed in Istanbul for six days before crossing over to Syria and finally reaching Mosul. The NIA submitted conclusively that Haja was imparted 'religious training' for 25 days and 'weapon training' for 21 days. During his physical training, he fell onto the floor and injured his left knee severely, forcing him out of the battlefield. Owing to his injury, Haja was deployed as a security guard. During that duty, a shell exploded near him and two of his fellow fighters died, leading him to think about returning to India. He was detained by the IS and lodged in a prison for 54 days when he discussed with his 'amir' (boss) about his plan to return home. Later, he was released and returned through Istanbul. After that, Haja lived in a rented house in Chennai and worked as a computer operator in a jewellery shop. However, the NIA managed to provide evidence that the Kerala man tried to purchase explosive materials such as chlorate, phosphorus, sulphur and aluminium powder amounting to 50 kg each. Subsequently, the special court handed him life sentence in 2020, observing that 'normal methods of reformation will be ineffective for him.' 'As rightly pointed out by the learned public prosecutor, the convict has declared in no uncertain words that he wanted to be a 'Jihadi' in India, for certain reasons perceived by him. His attempt to procure precursor explosives in huge quantities, soon after reaching back from Iraq, is also a very disturbing fact, especially when a witness having scientific background opined that the said quantity was enough to devastate a large area,' it observed. Taking note of the convict's attempt to buy an American sniper rifle online, the special court mentioned that his release in a short period can enable an evil plan by him. On the other hand, the Kerala High Court observed a possibility of reformation in the convict, as well as a sense of repentance, and no criminal history, to curtail the life sentence to 10-year rigorous imprisonment. 'We have carefully considered the sentence imposed by the trial court, guided by the principles discussed above. No doubt, the offences committed by the appellant are of grave and serious nature. However, we have noticed certain mitigating circumstances: The appellant was aged 35 years at the time of the alleged commission of the offences,' it observed. 'No specific overt acts were alleged against the appellant after his return from Iraq, except an unsuccessful attempt to procure explosives. Repentance and the possibility of reformation of the accused. The absence of criminal antecedents,' it added.

NIA takes terror-suspect, woman accomplice into custody from two districts of Andhra Pradesh
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials took a man named Kothwal Noor Mohammad (40), suspected of having links with terrorist groups in Pakistan, into custody in Dharmavaram town of Sri Sathya Sai district in the early hours of Saturday (August 16, 2025.) According to information, Mohammad settled in Dharmavaram town about 15 years ago and started eking out a livelihood by working in local hotels. Currently, he is working at a tea stall located at Market Street. The NIA sleuths, along with a team of local police of Dharmavaram, swooped at his residence at the local Kota Street in the early hours and took Mohammad into custody. NIA arrests two alleged U.S donkey route human traffickers As per sources in the police, the Central agencies had detected the frequent communication between Mohammad and suspected Pakistani terrorist outfits through some social media platforms. He was immediately whisked away in a police vehicle, which left for Chennai. The raid party had reportedly confiscated some incriminating material from the rented portion of his house and seized it. Simultaneously, an NIA team escorted by the local police, took a woman (35) into custody from her residence in Tadipatri town of neighbouring Anantapur district in the early hours. The investigation team found that Mohammad was frequently in touch with the woman, and the nature of the communication between the duo is found to be suspicious. Meanwhile, a police officer in Puttaparthi confirmed that Mohammad, who is presently residing at a rented portion, recently purchased land in Dharmavaram town and started constructing a house with luxurious features. The Voter-ID issued to Mohammad said his father's name is Kothwal Ameer. A circle-inspector, who extended local logistics to the NIA team, said that except for minor details of Mohammad, such as his nature, vocation and his residence, there is no information pertaining to his background, such as to which place he belonged to or whether he is married or not. However, the tea stall owner and the neighbourhood had informed the police that the suspect was generally mild mannered, but the act of sudden purchase of a big property came under public and police scanner as well.
