The arrests were made on May 27 during raids at 13 locations in Jabalpur in an operation with the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) of Madhya Pradesh police.

Adil Khan was on the agency바카라s radar since August 2022, an NIA official said.

According to the federal agency, Khan and his associates were involved in disseminating the ISIS propaganda through social media, as well as through on-ground 바카라Dawah바카라 programmes to unleash violent terror attacks in India at the instance of the terrorist organisations.

바카라They were engaged in collecting funds, disseminating ISIS propaganda material, motivating and recruiting youth, and trying to procure arms and ammunition with the objective of carrying out terrorist acts,바카라 the spokesperson said.

The NIA official said Ali had created a local group by the name of 바카라Fisabilillah바카라 and was also operating a WhatsApp group by the same name. He said, 바카라Along with his associates, he was trying to procure pistols and was in contact with a Jabalpur-based illegal arms supplier for this purpose.바카라

A staunch ISIS follower and supporter, Khan had managed to assemble an active group of Jabalpur-based like-minded radicalised individuals, according to NIA.

바카라Some of the module members were already contemplating Hijrat (flight) to conflict theatres, while others had plans to form a local outfit for carrying out violent jihad in India,바카라 the spokesperson had said.
