Predawn raid rattles Mujahid's family; NIA recovers Quran, Hadees, passbooks!

January 23, 2016

Tumakuru, Jan 23: Around 3:30 am on Friday, a National Investigation Agency (NIA) team, accompanied by the local police, swooped on a house on 8th Cross, PH Colony in Tumakuru. Before entering the house, they latched the door of over 40 houses from outside in the vicinity.

Sound of boots and murmur jolted Hussain Mujahid, 35, out of sleep. Even before he could react to the situation, the NIA sleuths detained him on the charge of suspected link with IS.

The officials searched the house on the first floor of the building and took into their custody a photo album, a copy of Qur'an and Hadees, bank passbooks and cash totalling Rs 3.35 lakh.

NIA officials didn’t allow Mujahid to make calls to his relatives in the city and took him to Bengaluru in a vehicle.

Hussain Mujahid, who had a small provision store in Mandipet, had recently diversified his business. He used to supply broomsticks to a few neighbouring states.

Eldest son of Syed Hussain, a retired deputy tahsildar, and Faisal, a retired headmistress, Hussain Mujahid was staying with his parents, wife and five children, including three daughters, at their house.

When the NIA officials bundled Mujahid into a vehicle and drove off, parents and wife were inconsolable while his five children, all minors, were clueless and were trying to figure out what went wrong.

The 80-year-old Syed Hussain travelled all the way from Tumakuru to Bengaluru to address the media. He said that around 20 men, claiming to be from Delhi police barged into his house and picked up Mujahid in the early hours of Friday.

“He was born after we completed Hajj pilgrimage. My son is innocent and was not involved in any anti-social activities let alone the treason” said an inconsolable Syed Hussain.

He said that his son had no links with any terrorist organisation and requested the government to release him at the earliest.

ALL started with the false flag of Zionist 9/11 terrorist attack.
Muslims are scapegoated to believe from the evil media as terrorist when most of the people accepted it without thorough investigation. (There are many YT videos which exposed the real culprits of 9/11)
First they arrested Muslims by putting the fear of Taliban
Then they attacked many Muslim countries with false flags, just like WMD which never found in iraq.
Now they started to arrest Muslims by putting the fear of ISIS
Only ALLAH knows what will be the next target by the evil to fool the people who are far away from TRUE GOD.
Request all intelligent people to learn what ISLAM says about GOD from the QURAN and not from MEDIA>
Until U know from the QURAN what it says about Creator & creation --- U will be feeded with these terror activiites by the evil media.
Look for the QURAN

if they are really engaged with terror acts, punish them. Why NIA team is not presenting identity documents? Why NIA team is giving such a huge publicity to ISIS?

Since when it became a crime to keep a photo album, Quran, Hadees and bank passbooks? There is no house of Muslims without any of above things. So, whole Muslim population has links with ISIS???
There won't be any news when these suspects come out clean and proven innocence.

Mangaluru: The Mangaluru CEN police have arrested a 23-year-old man for allegedly posting provocative and misleading content on an Instagram page named “mr_a_titude”, targeting the Bajpe police.

Mangaluru Commissioner of Police Sudheer Kumar Reddy C H identified the arrested as Abhishek M, a resident of Katipalla in Mangaluru.

A case has been registered at the Bajpe Police Station under Sections 353(1)(c), 353(2), 56, and 57 read with Section 189 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) in connection with the post.

According to police, the accused uploaded a photograph of a hotel on the Instagram page and alleged that accused persons in a murder case under the Bajpe police jurisdiction were being given “royal treatment” by the police, including being served beef meals daily from the hotel.

The post further accused the police of supporting criminals, misusing their authority, and betraying public trust. Police said the content was provocative in nature and aimed at inciting public outrage against the police.

Following the post, a case was registered at the Bajpe police station, and further investigation was transferred to the CEN police station.

Police records indicate that the accused has a criminal history, with multiple cases registered against him, including murder, attempt to murder, assault, and robbery at the Surathkal Police Station, and one case at the Kaup Police Station.

Mangaluru, Dec 16: The Mangaluru City police have significantly escalated their campaign against drug trafficking, arresting 25 individuals and booking 12 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act between November 30 and December 13. The crackdown resulted in the seizure of a substantial quantity of illicit substances, including 685.6 grams of MDMA and 1.5 kg of ganja.

The success of this recent drive has been significantly boosted by the city’s innovative, QR code-based anonymous reporting system.

"The anonymous reporting system has received an encouraging response. Several recent arrests were made based on inputs received through this system, helping police tighten the noose around drug peddlers," said the City Police Commissioner.

The latest arrests contribute to a robust year-to-date record, underscoring the police's relentless commitment to combating the drug menace.

Up to December 14 this year, the police have registered a total of 107 cases of drug peddling, leading to the arrest of 219 peddlers. Furthermore, they have booked 562 cases of drug consumption, resulting in the arrest of 671 individuals.

The scale of the seizure for the year reflects the magnitude of the problem being tackled: police have seized 320.6 kg of ganja worth ₹88.7 lakh and 1.4 kg of MDMA valued at ₹1.2 crore. Other significant seizures include hydro-weed ganja worth ₹94.7 lakh and cocaine worth ₹1.9 lakh, among others.

The Commissioner emphasized a policy of rigorous enforcement: "We ensure that peddlers are caught red-handed so that they cannot later dispute the case or claim innocence."

To counter the rising trend of substance abuse among youth, the Mangaluru City police have rolled out uniform guidelines for random drug testing across educational institutions.

As part of the drive, tests were conducted in approximately 100 institutions, screening an estimated 5,500 to 6,000 students in the first phase. 20 students tested positive for drug consumption during the initial screening.

Students who tested positive have been provided counselling and are scheduled for re-testing in the second quarter. The testing will also be expanded to students not covered in the first phase. In a move to ensure strict implementation, police personnel were deployed in mufti in some institutions. Reiterating a zero-tolerance stance, the Commissioner confirmed that random testing will continue, and colleges have also been instructed to conduct drug tests at the time of admission to deter substance abuse from an early stage.

Mangaluru police have arrested a 27-year-old NRI on his return from Saudi Arabia in connection with an Instagram post allegedly containing derogatory and provocative remarks about the Hindu religion, officials said on Monday.

The accused, Abdul Khader Nehad, a resident of Ulaibettu in Mangaluru, was working in Saudi Arabia when the post was uploaded, police said.

A suo motu case was registered at the Bajpe police station on October 11 after an allegedly offensive post circulated from the Instagram account ‘team_sdpi_2025’. Police said the content was flagged for being provocative and derogatory in nature.

During the investigation, technical analysis traced the Instagram post to Nehad, who was residing abroad at the time, a senior police officer said. Based on these findings, a Look Out Circular (LOC) was issued against him.

On December 14, Nehad arrived from Saudi Arabia at Calicut International Airport in Kerala, where he was taken into custody on arrival. Police said further investigation is underway.
