The NIA on Saturday filed a supplementary charge against a former Jammu and Kashmiri police officer who left the force and joined the Pakistan-based terrorist group Hizbul Mujahideen for allegedly involved in an attack on a CRPF convoy in 2019 .
Naveed Mushtaq Shah, a former Jammu and Kashmir Police officer, broke up with guns and ammunition in 2017 while serving as a security guard at the Food Corporation of India (FCI), said Budgam, an official with the leading investigative agency.
After leaving the force, he joined the Pakistan-based and Kashmiri-based Hezboll-Mujahideen terror group and became an active terrorist, according to NIA officials.
The charges were brought against Shah in a special NIA court in Jammu under sections of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC), the Explosive Substances Act, the Jammu and Kashmir Public Property (Loss Prevention) Act, and the Illegal Activities (Prevention) Act submitted to UAPA.
The case relates to a terrorist attacking the CRPF convoy in Tethar, Banihal area, Ramban district, which detonated a car laden with explosives on March 30, 2019 to kill security guards and wage war against the Indian government .
One case was registered in Ramban on March 30, 2019. The NIA reregistered the case on April 15, 2019 and took over the investigation.
The NIA had previously brought charges against six Hezboll-Mujahideen terrorists for their role in the attack. The NIA special court has brought charges against the six defendants.
Shah was actively involved in planning and conducting the attack on the CRPF convoy in Banihal, along with fellow terrorists Riyaz Ahmed Naikoo, Rayees Ahmed Khan and Dr. Saifullah Mir, who, according to the NIA official, were killed in encounters with security forces.
The late terrorists – Sahil Abdullah Bhat, Adil Bashir Sheikh and Zubair Ahmed Wani – were actively involved in preparing the explosives that were used to make the improvised explosive device (IED), the official said.
Charges against the dead terrorists involved in the conspiracy have been lowered, the NIA official said, adding that further trial on the case was ongoing.
