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, Dec 7: A rare bamboo shrimp has been rediscovered on mainland India more than 70 years after it was last reported, confirming for the first time the presence of Atyopsis spinipes in the country. The find was made by researchers from the Centre for Climate Change Studies at Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai, during surveys in Karnataka and Odisha.

The team — shrimp expert Dr S Prakash, PhD scholar K Kunjulakshmi, and Mangaluru-based researcher Maclean Antony Santos — combined field surveys, ecological assessments and DNA analysis to identify the elusive species. Their findings, published in Zootaxa, resolve decades of taxonomic confusion stemming from a 1951 report that misidentified the species as Atyopsis moluccensis without strong evidence.

The shrimp has now been confirmed at two locations: the Mulki–Pavanje estuary near Mangaluru and the Kuakhai River in Bhubaneswar. Historical specimens from the Andaman Islands, previously labelled as A. moluccensis, were also found to be misidentified and actually belong to A. spinipes.

The rediscovery began after an aquarium hobbyist in Odisha spotted a shrimp in 2022, prompting systematic surveys across Udupi, Karwar and Mangaluru. Four female specimens were collected in Mulki and one in Odisha, all genetically matching.

Researchers warn the species may exist in very small, vulnerable populations as freshwater habitats face increasing pressure from pollution, sand mining and infrastructure development. All verified specimens have been deposited with the Zoological Survey of India for future reference.

Mangaluru, Dec 7: A 34-year-old fruit and vegetable trader in Mangaluru has reportedly lost ₹33.1 lakh after falling victim to an online investment scam run through a fake mobile app.

Police said the scam began in September, when the victim received a link on Facebook. Clicking it connected him to a WhatsApp number, where an unidentified person introduced a high-return investment scheme and instructed him to download an app.

To build trust, the fraudster asked him to invest ₹30,000 on September 24. The trader soon received ₹34,000 as “profit,” convincing him the scheme was genuine. Over the next two months, he transferred money in multiple instalments via Google Pay and IMPS to different scanner codes and bank accounts shared by the scammers. Between September 24 and December 3, he ended up sending a total of ₹33.1 lakh.

When he later requested a refund of his investment and promised returns, the scammers demanded additional payments, claiming he needed to pay a “service tax” first. Even after he paid a small amount, no money was returned, and the scammers continued pressuring him for more.

A case has been registered at the CEN Crime Police Station.
