NIA Raids 12 Locations in Tamil Nadu in Hizb-ut-Tahrir Investigation

The raids targeted suspects involved in an anti-election campaign and recruitment for the banned organization.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted searches at 12 locations, including Chennai, Kanyakumari, and Pudukkottai.
The investigation is linked to an anti-election campaign promoted by Hizb-ut-Tahrir, which seeks to establish Islamic rule in India.
Officials seized digital devices, unaccounted cash, and Hizb-ut-Tahrir literature during the raids.
Hameed Hussain, a key conspirator, allegedly held secret meetings to promote the group's anti-India ideology.
The NIA took over the case from Chennai police in July and continues to probe the broader network's activities.
