NIA Nabs 2 Key Accused in Tamil Nadu Hizb-Ut-Tahrir Case

The accused, identified as Kabeer Ahmed Aliyar and Bava Bahrudeen alias Mannai Bava, had conspired with others to propagate the HuT ideologies by conducting secret Bayaans. They were also involved in organising an exhibition to showcase the military might of Islamic nations that would be invited (Nussrah) to overthrow the Indian government, established by law, by waging violent jihad and war.

The NIA, which had registered the case RC 01/2024/NIA/CHE against six accused persons, had further found during investigations that the accused were influenced by extremist, radical and fundamental ideology of HuT, an international pan-Islamist and fundamentalist organization which is working to re-establish Islamic caliphate and enforce the constitution written by the outfit’s founder Taqi al-Din al-Nabhani, as per NIA investigations.

The Central government had, in October 2024, issued a Gazette Notification banning HuT and all its manifestations and front organisation under the UA(P)Act-1967. The NIA is continuing its investigation to unearth the role of the co-conspirators, international network and funding of Hizb-ut-Tharir.
