NIA Searches 10 Locations in Five States in Gujarat Al‑Qaeda Case

The agency will forensically examine the seized devices to expand its mapping of alleged cross‑border financing.

Overview

  • Teams searched premises in West Bengal, Tripura, Meghalaya, Haryana and Gujarat under case RC‑19/2023/NIA/DLI.
  • The probe centers on four Bangladeshi nationals who allegedly used forged Indian IDs, transferred funds to Al‑Qaeda operatives in Bangladesh and sought to radicalise youth.
  • Investigators seized multiple digital devices and documents, which have been sent for forensic analysis.
  • In Tripura’s Unakoti, searches focused on two locals suspected of fabricating identity papers; one, Paritosh Shil, says he was summoned to the NIA’s Ahmedabad office on November 20.
  • No arrests were reported from Wednesday’s coordinated operations, and the inquiry continues following a chargesheet filed in November 2023 in the NIA Special Court, Ahmedabad.
