Nasheman News : The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday conducted “follow up” searches here in connection with the busting of a new Islamic State (IS) module — Harkat-ul-Harb-e-Islam — last month, an official said.

Ten people, including the group leader, who were allegedly planning to attack some political personalities, security establishments as well as crowded places in Delhi and National Capital Region were arrested by the NIA on December 26. 

“Follow up searches are being carried out today at five locations in Amroha,” an NIA spokesperson said.

Earlier in December, the NIA had carried out searches at 17 places — six in East Delhi’s Jafarabad area, six in Amroha, two each in Lucknow and Hapur and one place in Meerut, leading it to seize a country-made rocket launcher, 12 pistols, 112 alarm clocks, 100 mobile phones, 135 SIM cards, several laptops and various electronic gadgets, besides 150 rounds of ammunition.

The NIA also seized 25 kg of explosive material, such as potassium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, sulphur, sugar material paste, mobile phone circuits, batteries, 51 pipes, remote control car triggering switch, wireless digital doorbell for remote switch, steel containers, electric wires, knife, sword, IS-related literature and Rs 7.5 lakh in cash.

All the arrested members of “Harkat-ul-Harb-e-Islam” are in NIA custody. 

The agency had registered a case on December 20 under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the Explosive Substances Act and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.


Ailing Parrikar gives Goa New Year surprise, visits Secretariat

by

Nasheman News :  In a move which caught Goa by surprise on the first day of 2019, ailing Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar on Tuesday visited the state Secretariat for the first time in months, where he was welcomed by ministers, party MLAs and several BJP workers.

Parrikar was accompanied by a team of medical professionals and staff from the Chief Minister’s Office when he entered the Secretariat at 10.30 a.m.

This is the 63-year-old Chief Minister’s second appearance in public in the last few months, since his visit to an under-construction bridge near Panaji last month, but his first visit to the Secretariat, since his return from Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in October last year.

In a trademark half-sleeve shirt, Parrikar, wearing medical paraphernelia — a nasogastrict tube running from the nasal passage into the stomach — was helped up the stairs of the Secretariat by his aides, in the presence of Speaker Pramod Sawant and other BJP leaders, including the party’s state general secretary Sadanand Shet Tanavde.

Tanavade told IANS that the visit will boost the enthusiasm of Goa Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) cadre as well as the people of Goa.

“This is a good development. Seeing our Chief Minister will boost our cadre,” Tanavade said.

Parrikar is suffering from advanced pancreatic cancer and has been in and out of hospitals in Goa, Mumbai, New York and Delhi since February 2018.

Over the last few months, the Opposition has been demanding his resignation, claiming that the administration had come to a standstill due to his prolonged absence from office, on account of his illness.
