NIA Files Supplementary Chargesheet Against Five People In Nizamabad PFI Case

The NIA said the aim was to carry out violent terrorist activities in furtherance of the conspiracy to establish Islamic rule in the country by 2047.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a supplementary chargesheet against five members of Popular Front of India (PFI) in the Nizamabad case for allegedly provoking and radicalising Muslim youths, recruiting them and imparting weapons training in camps.

As per a statement released by the NIA, the five accused named in the chargesheet are Shaik Raheem alias Abdul Raheem, Shaik Vahaid Ali alias Abdul Wahed Ali, Jafrullah Khan Pathan, Shaik Riyaz Ahmed, and Abdul Waris.

They have been charged under sections 120B and 153A of the IPC and Sections 13(1)(b), 18, 18 A, and 18 B of the UA(P) Act, 1967.

"The accused personsare trained PFI cadre who were found involved in provoking and radicalising impressionable Muslim youth, recruiting them into the PFI and imparting weapons training in specifically organised PFI training camps," the NIA spokesperson said.

The NIA said the aim was to carry out violent terrorist activities in furtherance of the conspiracy to establish Islamic rule in the country by 2047.

"These PFI cadre misinterpreted religious texts and proclaimed that a violent form of Jihad was necessary to alleviate the sufferings of Muslims in India. Once recruited into the PFI, the Muslim youth were sent to the training camps organised by the accused PFI cadre where they were trained in the use of lethal weapons to kill their 'targets' by attacking their vital body parts such as throat, stomach, head etc," the agency said.

In December 2022, the NIA had filed its first chargesheet against 11 accused in the case after taking over the investigation from the Telangana Police in August. The case was initially registered on July 4 last year by Telangana Police.

PFI and its many affiliates were declared an ‘unlawful association’ by the Ministry of Home Affairs in September 2022 after its involvement in violent activities came to light during investigations carried out by various State police units and national agencies.
