These individuals are accused of promoting radicalization within the prison system for the Pakistan-based terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba, as reported by officials. The searches were conducted at five locations across Bengaluru and Kolar districts, leading to the capture of Dr. Nagaraj, a psychiatrist at the Central Prison in Parappana Agrahara, Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Chan Pasha, and the mother of a fugitive suspect, Anees Fatima.
According to a statement released by the NIA, various digital devices, cash, gold, and documents deemed 'evidence of crime' were seized from the residences of the arrested suspects and other individuals under investigation during the raids.
