According to the NIA, all 10 accused, including the main perpetrator Dr Umer Un Nabi (deceased), were linked to Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind (AGuH), an offshoot of Al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS).
NIA, in a press release, stated that the investigation found the accused to have been radicalised into the ideology of the proscribed ISIS terror outfit by his associate.
The four were charged under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for murder and criminal conspiracy and also under the stringent Unlawful (Activities) Prevention Act (UAPA).
