NIA Arrests Two Men for Radicalising Youth in Tamil Nadu

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested two men, Abdul Rehman and Mujibur Rehman, from Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, for allegedly radicalising youth with extremist ideologies. These men, associated with Hizb-ut-Tahrir, were involved in secret classes promoting anti-democratic views and were found with digital devices and documents supporting jihad.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday apprehended two men, Abdul Rehman and Mujibur Rehman, for allegedly radicalising the youth in Tamil Nadu. Both suspects hail from Thanjavur district and are linked to Hizb-ut-Tahrir, an international pan-Islamist organization.

The arrests followed comprehensive searches across ten locations in five districts of Tamil Nadu. The NIA revealed that the men conducted secret classes to indoctrinate young people with extremist ideologies, portraying Indian democratic values and the constitution as anti-Islamic.

Officials seized digital devices and incriminating documents during these searches, which included literature on Hizb-ut-Tahrir's extremist views. The agency stated that the trainees were taught to consider India as 'Darul Kufr' (land of non-believers) and urged to transform it into 'Darul Islam' through violent jihad.
