NIA CHARGESHEETS BIHAR MIGRANT LABOURER FOR CONSPIRING WITH LeT & OTHER TERROR OUTFITS IN J&K AND TN

New Delhi, 17th October 2025: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has chargesheeted a migrant labourer from Bihar for supporting proscribed terrorist organisations, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), in carrying out terror activities in Jammu & Kashmir and Tamil Nadu.
 

Akhalatur @ Mohammed Akhlaque Mujahid, hailing from Katihar district of Bihar has been charged under sections 196 and 197 of BNS and Sections 13 (1) (b) & 39 of UA(P) Act in the chargesheet filed today before the NIA Special Court at Poonamallee in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
 
Employed as a labourer at a private construction site in Chengalpattu (Tamil Nadu), the accused was arrested by Kayar, Chengalpattu Police, in April this year for his involvement in anti-national activities. NIA, which took over the case in view of its gravity, found during investigation that the accused was in touch with LeT handlers in Pakistan through cyber space and conspired with them to target Kafirs (non-believers of Islam) in Tamil.
 
Investigations further revealed that Akhalatur also tried to contact arms and weapons dealers with the intent to purchase weapons to execute a Jihadi style attack to destabilize the country. However, his plans were thwarted by NIA and other security agencies.
 
Investigations in the case RC-01/2025/NIA/CHE (Akhalatur LeT and Salafi Ideologue case) are continuing in a bid to curb radicalization and violent extremism in India.
