After National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed an FIR against the three accused and others on January 25 this year, the investigation agency has named three arrested persons — Mohd Zahed, Maaz Hasan Farooq, and Samiuddin — under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for conspiring terror attacks in Hyderabad in October 2022.

The key person Zahed, accused in several terror-related cases in Hyderabad had recruited several youths, including Maaz and Samiuddin, on the directions of Pakistan-based handlers belonging to LeT and ISI.

"As per the instructions of those handlers, Zahed conspired with his gang members to carry out terror activities including blasts and lone wolf attacks in Hyderabad City to create terror in the minds of the common public. It was also learnt that Zahed had received hand grenades from Pakistan-based handlers and was planning to hurl them at public gatherings and processions in order to create communal tension," NIA said as quoted by news agency ANI.
