Before the NIA special court here, a charge sheet was submitted against two residents of South Kashmir, Hilal Yaqoob Deva alias "Sethi Soab" and Musiab Fayaz Baba alias "Shoaib Zarar" of Shopian, and Habibullah Malik alias "Sajid Jutt," who is from the Kasur area in the Punjab region of Pakistan. According to a federal agency spokesman, they were charged under pertinent parts of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Indian Penal Code.The source stated that Malik, also known by a number of other names, including Saifullah, Noomi, Numan, Langda, Ali Sajid, Usman Habib, and Shani, has been implicated in a number of terrorist incidents in the Poonch and Rajouri districts of the Jammu region. The additional charge sheet is the result of inquiries into the case that the NIA filed suo-motu on June 21 of last year. The case concerns a plot developed "both physically and virtually" by several terrorist groups that have been outlawed to sow terror and disturb the peace in J&K by launching attacks with small guns, sticky bombs, and improvised explosive devices.According to investigations thus far, the three individuals named in the charge sheet conspired criminally to launch terrorist attacks in Jammu and Kashmir against security personnel and other targets with the goal of overthrowing the Indian government. Malik was a current TRF commander serving in Pakistan, according to the statement. According to the official, Malik was encouraging young, susceptible Kashmiris to enlist in the TRF and LeT in order to carry out terrorist acts in J&K. The spokesperson said that Hilal and Musiab, who had both begun serving as Malik's Over Ground Workers (OGWs), had become radicalised by Malik.The CIA added that the two OWGs had gathered and moved money and weapons among Malik's other OGWs in order to enable and assist terror strikes in J-K. The spokesperson stated, "The whole plot was discovered to be a component of the larger schemes of the outlawed terrorist groups to carry out violent and terrifying acts by indoctrinating local youth and organising overground workers to disturb peace and communal harmony in J-K." In recent months, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has intensified its crackdown and investigations in the Kashmir region in response to the several proscribed terrorist organisations launching new outfits to carry out their terror-related activities there.Organisations including the TRF, the United Liberation Front Jammu and Kashmir, the Mujahideen Gazwat-ul-Hind, the Jammu & Kashmir Freedom Fighters, the Kashmir Tigers, the PAAF, and others are under investigation by the NIA. According to the spokesperson, these groups are associated with Al-Qaeda, Laskhar-e-Taiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), and Al-Badr.
