🚫 FACT CHECK: This Tweet Contains Misinformation

Claim: PRIME ACCUSED CHARGESHEETED BY NIA IN GUJARAT ONLINE TERROR RADICALISATION CASE AIMED AT KASHMIR SECESSION Β  New Delhi, 23rd July 2026 A prime accused has been chargesheeted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in a Gujarat online terror radicalisation case linked with proscribed terrorist outfits like the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Al-Qaeda (AQ). Β  Arrested accused Faijan has been chargesheeted before the NIA special court in Ahmedabad under relevant sections of UA (P) Act, BNS and Arms Act. Β  Investigations by the NIA, which took over the case from ATS Gujarat in March 2026, revealed that the accused had conspired for the secession of Kashmir and Ladakh from India, and was in touch with a Pak-based JeM operative in furtherance of the conspiracy. ATS Gujarat had originally registered an FIR in the case following the arrest of Faijan on the basis of reliable input. Β  NIA investigation further disclosed that the accused had also planned to carry out targeted killings to spread communal tensions with the aim of spreading mayhem and disaffection against India. He had illegally procured a weapon along with six live cartridges without a valid licence from Uttar Pradesh for this purpose. The weapon was seized during the investigation. Β  On the directions of his online handler, Faijan had been radicalising and incentivising vulnerable youth to promote violent jihad and armed rebellion to destroy the sovereignty, unity, and integrity of India. He was found to have uploaded incriminating videos, projecting violence, on his Instagram account - β€˜al.Faijangaza’. Β  During the course of the investigation, NIA recovered various incriminating videos and photographs from his digital devices, eventually leading to the filing of charges against Faijan. Β  Investigation in the case RC-02/2026/NIA/AMD is continuing in an effort to identify others involved in the conspiracy, including the accused’s handler.
