NIA Files Chargesheet Against Two More in Shivamogga ISIS Case
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against two more individuals in the Shivamogga ISIS conspiracy case, bringing the total number of accused to 10. The two men, Abdul Matheen Ahmed Taaha alias Taha and Mussavir Hussain Shazib alias Shazib, were previously charged in other ISIS-related cases.
Residents of Shivamogga district, Taha and Shazib were involved in radicalizing and recruiting young people, including co-accused in the case. The NIA took over the case from the Karnataka police in November 2022, focusing on anti-India activities by the terrorist organization ISIS.
The accused were involved in violent activities such as arson, trial explosions, and the burning of the Indian National Flag. They were also involved in radicalization, recruitment, and terror funding as part of the ISIS conspiracy to spread terror and destabilize the nation.
The NIA filed its third supplementary chargesheet before the NIA Special Court in Bengaluru, naming the two under various sections of the IPC and UA(P) Act. Investigations, originally started by the state police in September 2022, are ongoing.
