NIA Court Convicts One More In Assam Hizbul Mujahideen Case
A special court of the National Investigation Agency has convicted another accused in a conspiracy case related to the formation of a Hizbul Mujahideen module case in Guwahati.
The court sentenced Mohammad Saiful Alam of Hojai district, Assam to five years in jail. He was awarded rigorous imprisonment and also slapped with a fine.
"Five people were chargesheeted by the NIA on March 11, 2019, and two of them, identified as Md. Sahnawaj Alom and Md. Omar Faruque was convicted by the NIA Court on December 23, 2022," an NIA release read.
The case was originally registered at the P.S. Jamunamukh, District Hojai, Assam under various sections of the IPC and UA(P) Act. The NIA re-registered the case on October 5 2018.
The probe by the NIA revealed that the three convicted accused had conspired with one Kamruj Zaman to establish a module of the Hizbul Mujahideen in Assam.
"During 2017-2018, they organised a series of meetings in various mosques, such as Milonpur Masjid, Islampur Masjid and Solmari Masjid, in and around the Jamunamukh area. The meetings were used to spread the banned outfit's hardcore fundamentalist ideology, with speeches about alleged atrocities and Jihad. Youth attending these meetings were told about the need to raise a module of HM for committing terrorist acts in response to the alleged atrocities etc," the NIA release also read.
The NIA also found that Kamruj and Shahnawaz conspired to raise funds for the procurement of arms and ammunition.
"Omar, alongwith another accused Jaynal Uddin, provided logistic support. To keep their communications a secret, Kamruj Zaman and Saiful Alam had also installed the Blackberry messenger (BBM) App on their mobile sets. Kamruj had used this app to stay in touch with Hizbul Mujahideen cadres in Jammu and Kashmir," the NIA said.
These persons had also conspired to carry out bomb blasts and armed attacks on innocent civilians in the non-Muslim areas of Lumding and Hojai on Dussehra eve, the agency also said.
