The charge sheet alleges that the accused exchanged videos on manufacturing explosives and IEDs and prepared a detailed timetable for their terror plot. The NIA claims that the accused aimed to endanger India’s safety, secular ethos, culture, and democratic systems of governance. The agency’s probe exposed the international linkages of the conspiracy involving ISIS operatives’ overseas handlers.
