A special court for NIA cases here framed charges against two men today under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for allegedly instigating city youths to join terrorist organisation ISIS.
In 2016, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested Rizwan Ahmed and Mohsin Ibrahim Sayyed, residents of Malvani area here, for alleged links with the ISIS and for trying to indoctrinate several youths and persuade them to join the ISIS.
The court today framed charges against the two under IPC section 120 (b) (criminal conspiracy) and various sections of the UAPA, the central agency said in a release.
According to the NIA, the two indoctrinated one Ayaz Mohamad in 2015 and persuaded him to get a passport. In October that year, Ayaz went to Kabul from Delhi and allegedly joined the ISIS in Afghanistan.
They tried to incite many other youths in Malvani area to leave India and join the ISIS for jihad in the Middle East, the NIA alleged.
