The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday filed a supplementary chargesheet against three operatives, including a Pakistani, of the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) in the LeT online recruitment module case before the NIA Special Court, Kolkata.
Tania Parveen alias Isranoor of Malayapur has been charged under Baduria Police Station of North 24 Parganas district in West Bengal under various Indian Penal Code Sections relating to criminal conspiracy, waging war against the Government among others besides provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
The two other accused charged on the same counts are Sayyad M Idris alias Idris of Bachagamva village of Uttar Kannada district, Karnataka and absconding accused Ayesha alias Ayesha Burhan of Gali Barhwali, Kotmomen, Zilla Sargoda, Province Punjab, Pakistan.
The case was initially registered as FIR No. 13/2020 dated March 18, 2020 at Baduria police station of North 24 Parganas relating to arrest of Tania Parveen, a member of proscribed terrorist outfit LeT by the State Police.
The NIA had re-registered the case on April 5 last year and took over the investigation. Earlier, the NIA had filed a chargesheet against accused Tania Parveen under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
Accused Tania Parveen was a college student and was radicalised and recruited in cyberspace by Pakistan-based cadres of LeT.
She was co-admin of various social media groups espousing secessionist ideas on Kashmir with accused Ayesha Burhan, a Pakistan-based cadre of LeT’s Women’s wing. Tania Parveen, in association with other accused members of LeT in India and Pakistan, indulged in unlawful activities, radicalised, recruited and motivated other people through cyberspace for Jihad against India, the NIA alleged.
“She and other accused were brainwashing impressionable youth and propagating the ideology of LeT and conspired to wage war against the State,” it said.
Further investigation for unearthing the wider conspiracy in India continues, it added.
