During the raid that was conducted the NIA stumbled upon material which suggested that the 8 persons were in touch with handlers from Syria. Their role was to establish the ISIS Caliphate in South India, the NIA also says.

The NIA during the raids conducted on June 29 found electronic gadgets, mobile phones, hard discs, semi-automatic pistols, air rifles, pellets, target boards, explosive precursor chemicals, urea nitrate explosive and equipments, a capacitor, knives and bundles of wire.



Forensic analysis of electronic gadgets seized from the accused showed online radicalisation of the accused by watching videos of ISIS, discourses and lectures of radical Islamic preachers, such as Anwar Awlaki, Abdu Sami Qasmi, Meraj Rabbani, Tausif ur Rehman, Jerjees Ansari and Zakir Naik, the agency said.

Investigation has established that the members downloaded and followed ISIS propaganda videos, ISIS magazine – “Dabiq”, which convinced them that ISIS was fighting for the rights of the Sunni Muslims, it said. The group associated with Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (the ISIS) and pledged their allegiance through the Bay’ah to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed Caliph of the Islamic State and formed a group called Jhund ul Khilafa Fi Bilad Al Hind (Army of the Caliph from the South India), it further said.

They were convinced about the cause of the ISIS and hence decided to all out and set up a very strong module for the group. Their focus was on South India only, the NIA also says.
