The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday (November 12, 2025) conducted searches at 10 locations across five States in an Al-Qaeda Gujarat terror conspiracy case involving illegal Bangladeshi immigrants.
The searches were carried out on premises linked to various suspects and their associates in West Bengal, Tripura, Meghalaya, Haryana, and Gujarat. Several digital devices and documents were seized.
The NIA took over the case in June 2023. “Investigations in the case so far have revealed that four Bangladeshi nationals, identified as Mohd. Sojibmiyan, Munna Khalid Ansari aka Munna Khan, Azarul Islam aka Jahangir aka Aakash Khan, and Abdul Latif aka Mominul Ansari, had illegally infiltrated into India from Bangladesh using forged Indian identity documents. They were found to be connected with the proscribed Al-Qaeda terrorist organisation,” said the agency.
The accused were involved in collection and transfer of funds to Al-Qaeda operatives in Bangladesh, and were also motivating Muslim youth.
On November 10, 2023, NIA had filed a chargesheet against five accused persons.
