The National Investigating Agency (NIA) on Wednesday filed a charge sheet against 24 accused, including a Pakistan national, in the case relating to the recruitment of youths from Kerala for anti-national activities in Kashmir. The charge sheet was filed before the NIA Special Court here.
The prosecution case was that the first accused, Abdul Jaleel, along with other accused, who had links with terrorist organisations, recruited youths for training in Pakistan and thereby assisted the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) for waging war against the Union government by various means.
The charge sheet said the investigation had revealed that funds were transferred from abroad to the accused for recruiting Kerala youths. The recruited youths went to Jammu and Kashmir and received training in ‘jihad' from operatives of the Lashkar-e-Taiba. Four accused had died in an encounter with Indian security forces. The charge sheet said the role of Wali alias Abdul Azeez alias Rashid Abdulla alias Abu Rehan of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir and a LeT Commander had been established in the crime.
The youth were recruited in 2006. Two accused, Wali and Mohad Sabir, were absconding.
