The National Investigation Agency today conducted extensive searches at multiple locations across the country. The searches were conducted in Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, West Bengal, Bihar, Tripura and Assam in connection with the activities promoted by some Bangladeshi nationals as part of the terror group Al-Qaeda’s conspiracy to destabilise the country.

According to the NIA, the crackdown was linked to individuals suspected of supporting and funding the activities of the terrorist organisation Al-Qaida. The searches led to the recovery of incriminating documents showing detailed banking transactions, digital devices including mobile phones, and other evidence related to terror funding activities. Investigation reveals that suspects are sympathisers of a Bangladesh-based Al-Qaida network.
