During the searches conducted on the premises of the accused and other suspected persons, incriminating materials, including digital devices and documents, were seized. Investigations have revealed that Danish was a self-radicalised individual and was in contact with a number of foreign entities via a WhatsApp group created by him called “Ghazwa-e-Hind”. In this group, terrorist acts and activities in Kashmir were being glorified with the view to radicalise impressionable youth.
