Overview
- The National Investigation Agency filed a chargesheet against 11 people on Friday, June 26, 2026, in the NIA Special Court in Guwahati and moved the case into formal prosecution.
- The accused are booked under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, laws used for terrorism prosecutions in India.
- The NIA says its investigation linked the suspects to Imam Mahmuder Kafila (IMK), an offshoot of the proscribed Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh, and alleges efforts to radicalise youth and expand the group’s network in West Bengal, Assam and Tripura.
- Investigators say evidence includes recovered documents, electronic devices and digital records, and they identified two key organisers named in the chargesheet as Nasimuddin for Assam and Jagir Mia for Tripura.
- The case grew out of a multi‑state Assam STF operation in December and remains under active probe as authorities examine alleged cross‑border coordination, travel to Bangladesh for meetings and the wider security implications for the northeast.
