The case was initially registered by the special cell of the Delhi Police following the arrest of Sami and his wife Hina from Okhla Vihar on March 8, 2020. They were accused of being affiliated with ISIS and were planning anti-national activities on Indian soil. The NIA took over the case 12 days later.

The NIA then arrested Rahman on August 17 2020 from Bangalore. As a student of MBBS at the Bangalore Medical College, he got radicalised by listening to the online lectures of Islamic preachers, including Anwar Awlaki.

Subsequently, he came into contact with other radicalised youth and travelled to Syria in December, 2013 and participated in various terrorist activities of ISIS. After his return to India he continued to remain associated with the ideology of ISIS. Utilising his knowledge of Ophthalmic Lasers and Medical Science, he made efforts to develop applications for medical and military requirements of ISIS.
