Overview
- The National Investigation Agency filed a chargesheet on Friday, June 26, 2026, in the special NIA court in Guwahati naming 11 accused and invoking the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
- NIA alleges the group belonged to Imam Mahmuder Kafila (IMK), an offshoot set up by senior JMB member Imam Mahmud Habibullah to push the banned outfit’s agenda on Indian soil.
- The charges say the accused worked to expand the network in West Bengal and the north‑eastern states of Assam and Tripura through clandestine meetings and religious indoctrination programmes.
- Investigators say they recovered incriminating documents, electronic devices and digital records and identified regional organisers including Nasimuddin in Assam and Jagir Mia in Tripura.
- The case remains under probe and will move to trial, a development that could uncover wider cross‑border recruitment routes and test enforcement of India’s counterterror framework.
