HYDERABAD: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday arrested one more person from Rajendranagar in Hyderabad in connection with unlawful activities of terror modules linked to the Hizb-Ut-Tahrir (HuT), an international fundamentalist organisation operating in Bhopal and Hyderabad.
The suspect was identified as Salman, the sixth to be arrested in the case.
The NIA seized incriminating digital devices, including hard disks, pen drives and SD cards, along with various documents, in searches at two locations, based on tip-offs.
Officials suspect Salman was an active member of the Hyderabad-based module of HuT, which was led by Salim, who was previously arrested. The six of them were operating on expanding their operations to establish a Caliphate based on Shariat.
NIA investigations show that the HuT was trying to build its organization and cadres clandestinely by recruiting impressionable Muslim youths into the organisation. The outfit aimed to overthrow the constitutionally-formed government, sources said.
