The special court on March 18, allowed the National Investigation Agency (NIA’s) appeal for extension and granted the agency the additional time to file a charge sheet in the case against Kalyan youth Areeb Majeed, accused of joining Islamic State (IS), reports Indian Express. The agency had on February 26, 2015 sought the extension to file the charg esheet, which was originally to have been filed on March 20. With this extension, the agency has acquired a total of 180 days’ time to file the chargesheet, since Areeb’s arrest on November 28, 2014, when he was flown from Istanbul (Turkey) under NIA escort back to India. Areeb was booked under Sections 16, 18 and 20 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for conspiring to commit a terrorist act and being a member of a banned foreign terror outfit. Areeb was also booked under Section 125 of Indian Penal Code (IPC) for waging war against the nation.

Fahad Shaikh, one of the four Kalyan (Maharashtra) youths who ran away and joined the Islamic State (IS) has got in touch with his family, but rebuffed calls to return, saying "I am happy with my jihadi work, I won't come back to India", The Times of India reports on March 22. Shaikh, got in touch about a month ago and has since been calling his family and some friends frequently on phone or Skype and other VoIP platforms, said sources familiar with the case of the four youths, all in their twenties. He has confirmed that Saheem Tanki, one of the three youths who went with him, is dead. He reportedly sent a photograph of Tanki at the location where he died to his family. National Investigation Agency (NIA) sleuths managed to contact Shaikh on a phone number he had called from, and he told them he won't return as his community was not treated well here. He again claimed he was happy with jihad but refused to elaborate what he was doing in Raqqa, Syria.

In the data on terror financing tabulated from 2006 till date, terror finances to the tune of INR 148.5 million have been recovered by National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Police of 15 states, reports The Times of India on April 10.

A high level probe conducted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and State Police forces against Islamic State (IS) or Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) activists has not revealed any information on foreign funding to them, reports The Times of India on April 24. Union Minister of State for Home Haribhai Parthibhai Chaudhary has informed Rajya Sabha (upper house of the Parliament of India) that a total of four pro-ISIS activists, including two from Maharashtra and one each from Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh were arrested last year (2014). Earlier, Rajya Sabha Member Sanjay Raut had sought information on whether these activists have joined hands with other terror organisations and are receiving financial assistance from foreign countries and measures taken by the Government to check such nexus and to curb the activities of ISIS. Chaudhary said the centre is closely monitoring the situation and has directed the intelligence and security agencies to identify such elements and keep them under surveillance. The cyber space is also being closely scanned and in addition, the Government has declared the ISIS and all its Manifestations as terrorist organisation and banned under section 35 of Unlawful Activities [Prevention] Act (UAPA), 1967.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on May 20 filed a charge sheet before a Mumbai (Maharashtra) court against four Kalyan youths, Areeb Majeed and his accomplices, Saheem Tanki, Fahad Shaikh and Aman Tandel, who have allegedly joined Islamic State (IS), under various provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC), reports The Hindu. The NIA charge sheet revealed that prime accused Areeb Majeed (lodged in Mumbai Central Prison) and his three fugitive friends fought for the international terror outfit as “fidayeen” (suicide bombers) after they were trained in the handling of weapons and explosives. The charge sheet said that using Ziyarat (pilgrimage) visas, four youths left for Iraq on May 25, 2014, as part of a group. After joining the outfit, the four accused were rechristened as Abu Ali Al Hindi, Abu Uthman Al Hindi, Abu Bakr Al Hindi and Abu Umar Al Hindi. They then underwent training in the use of arms, explosives and battlefield tactics, following which they were inducted as suicide bombers. Subsequently, Areeb Majeed participated in several battles against the Syrian and Iraqi forces. He sustained bullet injuries on two occasions and was once seriously hurt in a United States (US)-led air bombing. He purportedly told the NIA that after he was seriously injured last October, he decided to return “for spreading jihad in India.” However, the NIA charge sheet has not made any mention of people involved in recruiting the youths in India or those who helped them reach Iraq knowing that they were going to join IS, reports The Times of India. Sources said while the agency has identified such people, it has as yet not found any evidence to link them to the case. Areeb Majeed allegedly disclosed that while in India, about two years ago he came in contact with the IS sympathisers and members through social networking websites. In desperation, he contacted people from various countries, including Australia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the United States, all of whom asked him to first reach Turkey.

Maharashtra government apprehends that suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Abu Jundal, alleged mastermind of 26/11 (November 26, 2008) Mumbai (Maharashtra) attacks, could be assassinated or kidnapped by rivals during his transit from jail to court, the NIA has told a Delhi court. In an application moved before District Judge Amar Nath, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said that Jundal alias Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari, who is presently lodged in Arthur Road jail in Mumbai, could not be produced before the court here on several occasions despite issuance of production warrant against him. In the plea, the agency said the proceedings in the case lodged here was required to be expedited and the trial could be commenced through video conferencing. Referring to a resolution passed by Maharashtra government in May 2013, the NIA said it "excludes the personal appearance of the accused Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari ... after taking into consideration request of Commissioner of Police, Mumbai to exclude the above-mentioned accused person from the personal appearance before court in various cases registered against him due to possibility of assassination bid on the life of accused by rival group or a bid to kidnap." The court has issued notice to Jundal's counsel MS Khan for July 17, 2015 on NIA's plea.

The special court on August 6 allowed a plea by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to conduct the trial of the alleged 26/11 (November 26, 2008) Mumbai (Maharashtra) attack mastermind Abu Jundal through video conferencing, reports Indian Express. In its plea seeking trial through video conferencing, the NIA stated that the Maharashtra government feared that the suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative could either be killed or abducted while being brought to the Delhi court. Jundal is currently lodged at Mumbai’s Arthur Road Jail. “After applying the findings/observations of the High Court, I am of the considered view that the application of NIA deserves to be allowed. I, therefore, allow the application of NIA under Section 273 of the CrPC for commencing the trial through video conferencing,” District Judge Amar Nath said. The special court also directed the Superintendent of the Arthur Road Prison to make arrangements for the trial by video conferencing.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on September 9 opposed the bail application of Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Purohit, an accused in the 2008 Malegoan blast case, reports Zee News. The agency said in its reply, that it had sufficient evidence to prove Purohit's involvement in the blasts conspiracy and to justify invocation of stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against him. Purohit, pleading innocence, has also said in his bail plea that he is behind the bars without trial for the last seven years. Twelve persons, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur and Purohit, were arrested for the blast at Malegaon town in Maharashtra on September 29, 2008, in which six persons died and 100 were injured. Following a Supreme Court order, a special court was constituted to hear the case exclusively.

The special National Investigating Agency (NIA) court in Mumbai (Maharashtra), while rejecting the bail application of Colonel Prasad Shrikant Purohit and two other accused in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blasts case, observed that they could again engage in similar activities, Asian Age reports on October 15. After hearing arguments of the applicants’ advocates, Special Public Prosecutor and Intervener, Special NIA Judge S.D. Tekale, in his order observed, “There is reasonable apprehension that after release on bail, again applicants will engage in activities for implementing their ideology (of turning India into a Hindu Rashtra called Aryavart) with the same mindset.” “Moreover, most of the witnesses are closely acquainted with applicants. It appears that some of them had participated in the meeting but as they had a different opinion on the applicants’ extreme attitude towards Muslim community and their talks about causing bomb blasts to take revenge, they left the organisation. There is some substance in the submission of special public prosecutor Avinash Rasal that if applicants are released on bail, there is every chance of tampering with prosecution witnesses,” the Judge said.
