NEW DELHI: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday carried out a raid in connection with the Pune ISIS module case and seized a host of incriminating material exposing the banned terrorist organisation’s conspiracy to disrupt peace and communal harmony in the country, an official said.

The raid was conducted on the house of arrested accused Shamil Saquib Nachan, an alleged member of an ISIS sleeper cell, at Padgha in Thane in Maharashtra.

Several mobile phones, hard disks and some handwritten documents were seized during the raid and are being examined, a spokesperson of the anti-terror agency said.

Nachan was arrested earlier for participating in bomb-making workshops and in the fabrication of IEDs.
