TIRUVARUR: The Muthupettai police in Tiruvarur district of Tamil Nadu on Monday arrested a 39-year-old man after he posted some messages on an instant messaging app criticising the recent raids and arrests of some people in the state by the National Investigative Agency (NIA).
The NIA has been conducting searches in the houses of some people associated with the Ansarulla terror group which had planned to set up Islamic rule in India by waging war against the Union government. The NIA arrested 14 people.
M Thaj alias Thajudheen, 39, of Mohammadia Street in Muthupettai in Tiruvaur posted a message criticising the actions of the NIA.
