The chargesheet has been filed against them under several sections of IPC, UA (P) Act, Section 14 A (b) of the Foreigners Act and Section 3 of Passport (Entry into India) Act - read with Rule 6 of Passport (Entry into India) Rules.
"Investigations have established that the accused Mufakir, Abidulla and Talha Talukder Faruq are JMB cadres, who illegally entered India with an intention to further their terror activities. They entered a criminal conspiracy with their other associates to influence, radicalise and motivate the Indian Muslims to prepare for 'Jihad'. They were also provoking some Muslim youth to launch 'Jihad' in India to establish Islamic (Sharia) law in India," the NIA has alleged.
