Youths spread IS propaganda on social media: NIA

: The NIA on Saturday busted an MP-based terror module in Jabalpur. A cache of sharp-edged weapons, ammunition (including prohibited bore), incriminating documents and digital devices were seized during the searches.
As per the NIA probe, Adil and his associates were involved in disseminating IS propaganda through social media platforms, as well as through on-ground 'dawah' programmes, in order to unleash violent terror attacks in India at the instance of IS. The module had been conducting meetings/dars in local mosques and houses and hatching plans and conspiracies to spread terror in the country.
Investigations revealed the accused were highly influenced by IS and determined to carry out violent jihad. They were engaged in collecting funds, disseminating IS propaganda material, motivating and recruiting youth, and trying to procure arms and ammunition with the objective of carrying out terrorist acts.
NIA on Saturday said Syed Mamoor Ali had created a local group/tanzeem by the name of 'Fisabilillah' and was also operating a WhatsApp group by the same name. Along with his associates, he was trying to procure pistols and was in contact with a Jabalpur-based illegal arms supplier for this purpose.
