NIA chargesheets doctor, 2 others in ISIS-linked bioterror plot to carry out mass poisoning
New Delhi, May 06: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has filed a chargesheet against three people, including a doctor, for their alleged involvement in an ISIS-linked conspiracy to carry out mass poisoning in public spaces using a biological toxin, an official statement said. The accused -- Hyderabad-based Dr Syed Ahmed Mohiuddin and co-accused Azad and Mohammad Suhel from Uttar Pradesh -- have been chargesheeted before a special NIA court in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, the statement, issued on Tuesday, said. Working under the guidance of their respective Islamic State-linked foreign-based handlers, the accused had operated in a coordinated manner to recruit vulnerable youth radicalised by the handlers to support jihad and spread terror through prohibited weapons and bioterrorism, said the NIA statement. They had planned to use ricin, a highly toxic substance derived from castor seeds and classified under Schedule I of the Chemical Weapons Convention, to carry out the efarious agenda of ISIS, it said. The case was originally registered by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) following the arrest of Dr Mohiuddin, an MBBS from China, after he was caught at a toll plaza carrying illegal weapons, a bottle containing four litres of castor oil, and other incriminatory articles in his car in November 2025. Investigation by the ATS had led to the arrest of the other two accused the same day. Azad and Suhel were found to have earlier picked up parcels of money and prohibited weapons from a dead-drop site in Hanumangarh, Rajasthan, and dropped them at a location in Chhatral, Gujarat, for Moinuddin to pick up, the probe agency said. After taking over the investigation in January 2026, the NIA found that Moinuddin had been promised the position of ISIS Amir of South Asia by his handler. He had allegedly converted his Hyderabad residence into a clandestine laboratory for preparing ricin, the statement said. The agency further said that Azad and Suhel had knowingly participated in the conspiracy. Their roles included maintaining communication with handlers, receiving and utilising proceeds of terror, conducting reconnaissance, and handling illegal arms and ammunition. Suhel acted as a crucial link between the handler and other co-accused for recruitment, coordination, and handling of funds and weapons consignments. He also conducted reconnaissance, recorded Bay'ah (oath of allegiance) videos, and prepared ISIS flags, it said.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar pushes for India comeback after strong IPL 2026 form
IPL 2026 has entered a crucial phase and one of the significant news is that RCBs Bhuvneshwar Kumar (36) has regained the Purple Cap as the tournaments leading wicket-taker, while claiming 3/28 against GT on April 30, 2026, taking his tally to 17 wickets from nine matches. CSKs Anshul Kamboj has joined him at 17 wickets, but Bhuvneshwar still leads the race for this seasons Purple Cap. Bhuvneshwar has come out as one of the RCB's most reliable and match winning bowlers this season, with his experience and control. The BCCI selectors have not considered him since playing his last international match in Nov. 2022, but he is forcing for another opportunity. This IPL season, particularly, has seen him achieving one after another personal milestone, but his priority is now shifted to contributing to the teams campaign, Of course, I want to achieve something, but now its more of a team. Im not young anymore. Of course, when youre young, you want to win those awards, and it comes when you do well. *Bravo, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Harshal Patel are the only players to have won the Purple Cap multiple times (2). *Bravo secured both his caps with CSK in 2013 and 2015, while Harshal, after his 2021 triumph with RCB, added a second in 2024 with PBKS. *Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the only bowler to win the award in consecutive seasons, achieving the feat with Sunrises Hyderabad in 2016 and 2017. Will he become the first to record the feat 3 times? * Only three players in IPL, Sohail Tanvir (2008, Rajasthan Royals), RP Singh (2009, Deccan Chargers) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (2016, Sunrises Hyderabad) have recorded the double: They won the Purple Cap and their team won the IPL title in the same season. Bhuvneshwar could become the first bowler to record this feat twice, if RCB also goes on to create history. Let us see what significant, he has achieved: Most successful fast bowler in IPL: 215 wickets. He is also the most prolific bowler in the IPL Powerplay and is all set to be the first to claim 100 wickets in the Powerplay. A part of the collapse: Delhi Capitals collapsed to 13 for 6 in the Powerplay against RCB as batters meekly surrendered to the stunning opening spell from Josh Hazlewood and Bhuvneshwar Kumar, which is the lowest-ever Powerplay score in the IPL. Record 200th appearance: Bhuvneshwar Kumar is all set to play his 200th IPL match on May 7, against LSG and will be the first pacer to record the feat. First bowler to have bowled in each of his 200 IPL matches: Bhuvneshwar is on the verge of this special feat. When he bowls in the 200th match, he will become the first bowler to bowl in each of his 200 matches. Amit Mishra (bowled in each of his 162 matches), Jasprit Bumrah (154), Rashid Khan (146) and Mohammad Shami (127) are far behind. Record 325th T20 appearance: He made his record-making appearance against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium on April 30 and recorded figures of 3/28 during his sides four-wicket loss. This, however, helped him to achieve a significant career milestone as he became the first Indian pacer and only the second Indian overall to reach 350 wickets in T20 cricket. His figures : 352 wickets at an average of 24.51, including five 4s and five 5s, with best figures of 5/4. Most wickets by Indian bowlers in Mens T20s 391 - Yuzvendra Chal 352 - Bhuvneshwar Kumar 348 - Jasprit Bumrah 327 - Piyush Chawla 317 - Ravichandran Ashwin Bhuvneshwar has played T20 cricket for 6 different teams so far and the wicket share representing each is as under: Sunrisers Hyderabad 158 wickets India 90 wickets Uttar Pradesh 44 wickets Royal Challengers Bengaluru 33 wickets Pune Warriors India 24 wickets India A 3 wickets For someone who has won 2 Purple caps in consecutive seasons and is on the way to achieve his third Purple cap, is one of the 2 bowlers to have 200+ wickets in the IPL, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the most under-rated IPL veteran.
