The NIA has mentioned M. Zoheb Khan of Maharashtra, who was arrested earlier this year (February 2024) and the Libyan M. Shoeb Khan, as the key conspirators in the terror plot linked with a module in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to the ISIS’ global networks.

According to the NIA, Shoeb hire Zoheb, and they took an oath of allegiance to the self-proclaime Khalifa of ISIS.

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.
