Similar raids were also conducted earlier in July when the agency investigated numerous sites in relation to terror-funding links with the Phulwari Sharif case and revealed damaging information.
The NIA released a statement on the subject, claiming that approximately 10 districts in Bihar, including Patna, East Champaran, Darbhanga, Madhubani, and Nalanda, had been raided by their teams, who had also arrested the operatives. Additionally, they were accused of having involvement in terrorist activities with outlawed terrorist groups. Prior to then, the NIA discovered significant papers of the group’s nefarious anti-national plans during earlier raids in Patna’s Phulwari Sharif neighbourhood.
In the meantime, earlier on Wednesday, searches were conducted at five locations in the Maoist terror funding case, according to ANI, as the NIA steps up its efforts to combat anti-national activities in Bihar.
