IS sympathiser downloaded videos, circulated them: NIA
Chennai: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against A Alfasith of Mayiladuthurai, who was arrested in connection with an IS radicalisation and conspiracy case. The NIA has accused Alfasith of being a member of the terrorist group IS and downloading incriminating videos and documents from the IS-operated Telegram Channel 'nashida33' (Al Wala Val Baro). Alfasith, who worked as an ambulance driver, was arrested in Tirumullaivoyal earlier this year following searches by the NIA in Chennai and Mayiladuthurai. "Alfasith and his associates circulated incriminating ISIS-related videos, documents, and images through social media platforms, targeting hundreds of young Muslim boys. They created several WhatsApp and Telegram groups, such as 'Islamic State' and 'Black Flag Soldiers', to promote unlawful activities threatening the unity, security, and communal harmony of the country," said the NIA. He was arrested for his close links with radicalised 'Needur' Sathik Batcha alias ICAMA Sathik, who was arrested in connection with the threatening of police personnel at gunpoint in Mayiladuthurai in 2022. NIA said Sathik Batcha, a martial arts trainer, held conspiracy meetings in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, and Chennai to recruit members for the Khilafah Party of India and other outfits.

Bogus sim cards used to help history-sheeter evade arrest
Rajkot: The Junagadh local crime branch (LCB) busted a state-wide racket involving the use of bogus sim cards, after they were found to help a history-sheeter, who had also contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, evade arrest in a Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organized Crime (GujCTOC) Act case. Police seized 1,001 activated sim cards, sourced by illegal means such as fabricating documents from outside Gujarat, and arrested two people. A hunt for several others is on. Police said the absconding accused, Dhiren Kariya, a listed bootlegger, was kept out of police's reach by his wife Nirbha and son Param, who used these sim cards for communication with him. Investigators found that the sim cards had been procured with the help of a relative, Sandip alias Banty, a resident of Vadodara, and another associate, Dharam alias Dhaval Mithiya from Junagadh. Three such sim cards were used to communicate with Kariya — one by his wife in an iPhone, and two by Param, who handed one over to an associate. One sim card was used to operate a WhatsApp account in Kariya's name. An LCB team arrested Bharat Parmar, 38, a resident of Amipura village in Radhanpur, and recovered 1,001 activated sim cards from him. These cards are suspected to have been used for various illegal activities. An offence under the relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was registered at B Division police station and further investigation has been handed over to the special operations group.
