The case was initially registered on July 4 at the VI-Town police station in Telangana’s Nizamabad district and was later re-registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on August 26.

“Investigations have revealed that the accused persons were radicalising gullible Muslim youth and recruiting them into the PFI through speeches filled with hatred and venom against the government of India as well as other organisations and individuals,” the spokesperson said.

“Once recruited into the PFI (Popular Front of India), Muslim youths were sent to training camps organised by the PFI under the cover and guise of yoga classes and physical education…,” the NIA official said.

In the “beginners course, they were trained in the use of every day articles (knife, sickle and iron rods) to kill a person by attacking vulnerable body parts such as throat, stomach and head, and for commission of terror acts”, the spokesperson said.
