Illegal network purportedly used for extremist activities
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is likely to take up the investigation in the parallel telephone exchange case with the unearthing of evidence linking the arrested with some of the key accused in a gold smuggling racket and the use of the illegal communication network for suspected extremist activities. An NIA squad has collected details from the Crime Branch’s special investigation team. According to Crime Branch sources, the NIA may take up the case in two weeks as those involved are part of an international network which facilitated discreet communication for anti-national activities. The City police and the Crime Branch believe that their team have done a commendable job by completing a major part of the investigation within a short time by arresting the key suspects.More Related News
