Digital Desk | Vijayawada, Sep 18 (IANS) The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against nine accused before the Special NIA Court, Vijayawada, in an online radicalisation case. The chargesheet has been filed against Mohammad Rehmatullah Shariff, Mohammed Danish, Mirza Sohail Baig, Lucky Ahmad, Jishan Abdul Majid, Mir Ashif Ali, Abdul Salaam, Sharuk Khan and Shaikh Faiz ur Rehman, all alleged members and supporters of the terrorist organisation ISIS. They have been charged under sections 61(2) read with 3(5) and 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and sections 13(1), 38 and 39 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, the NIA said in a statement issued on Friday. The case was initially registered on March 23, 2026, at Vijayawada II Town Police Station, NTR Commissionerate, Vijayawada, under sections 113(3), 152, 196(1)(a) and 196(2) read with section 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, section 66F of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and sections 13, 18, 18A, 18B, 38 and 39 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. So far, 11 accused persons and a child in conflict with the law have been arrested in the case. Investigation has established that the accused persons, who are members and supporters of the proscribed terrorist organisation ISIS, entered into a larger conspiracy to support the activities of ISIS, primarily through social media platforms like Instagram, with the intention of establishing a caliphate in India through violent Jihad, thereby disrupting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India, the Central agency said. It has been established that the accused persons motivated and radicalised gullible youth to join violent terrorist activities, and also planned and prepared for making explosives and undertaking weapon training.

Seven held for 'purification' after protest near KCR's farmhouse in Telangana
Digital Desk | Hyderabad, Sep 15 (IANS) Telangana Police have arrested seven people in a case relating to the alleged purification of roads at Erravalli near the farmhouse of BRS president and former Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao in Siddipet district. A former sarpanch of Vardarajpur village and six leaders of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) were taken into custody on Monday from a lodge in Vijayawada in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. The accused were brought to Gajwel and produced before a magistrate, who then sent them to judicial custody for 14 days. Subsequently, they were shifted to Siddipet jail. The accused had allegedly performed 'purification' rituals, using turmeric water, on September 9. The 'purification' was done a day after Congress workers and Dalit organisations held a Chavu-Dappu (funeral drum-beating) protest in the area. The protest by Congress workers and Dalit organisations was against alleged derogatory and abusive remarks by two BRS MLCs against Telangana Assembly Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar. Following the protest, BRS workers sprinkled turmeric water on the roads and other areas through which the protesters had passed. The alleged 'purification' had sparked a huge controversy with the ruling Congress party demanding strong action over what it called 'insult' to Dalits. On a complaint by local Congress leaders, police registered a case and took up the investigation. Forensic evidence was collected as part of the investigation. Police had been on the lookout for the accused, finally tracing them to a lodge in Vijayawada after one of them switched on his mobile phone. The protest by Congress workers and Dalit organisations near KCR's farmhouse had followed the September 7 incident at the Assembly gate. During the scuffle between BRS legislators and police, two BRS MLCs had allegedly made certain derogatory and abusive remarks against Speaker Gaddam Prasad Kumar. Both the MLCs were booked and arrested the next day. However, a court had ordered their release the same day.
