In the Indian state of Kerala which has seen a rise in the growth of Islamic fundamentalism, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Friday (January 28) filed a charge sheet against eight terrorists in the ISIS Kerala module case.
The names on the charge sheet are identified as Deepthi Marla alias Maryam, Mohammed Waqar Lone alias Wilson Kashmiri, Mizha Siddeeque, Shifa Haris alias Ayesha, Obaid Hamid Matta, Madesh Shankar alias Abdullah, Ammar Abdul Rahiman, and Muzamil Hassan Bhat.
“Investigation has revealed that all the eight accused persons charge-sheeted today are affiliated with banned terrorist organisation ISIS and were involved in radicalising, recruiting, organising terror funds and grooming like-minded gullible Muslim youth through different secured social media platforms to perform Hijrat to ISIS-controlled territory for joining ISIS,” said the NIA.
On March 5, 2021, the NIA had registered a case for terrorist activities of Mohammed Ameen alias Abu Yahya, a resident of Kerala, and his associates.
According to the NIA, Yahya and his associates have been running various ISIS propaganda channels on different social media platforms such as Telegram, Hoop, and Instagram and were propagating the violent Jihadi ideology by radicalising and recruiting new members for the ISIS module.
