“The Special Judge, NIA, Patiala House Complex, New Delhi, on Saturday sentenced three accused in the 2020 Khaja Moideen ISIS case, in which they had indiscriminately fired at police party in order to evade arrest,” as per an NIA press release.

He had conspired to revive the ISIS network in India and had motivated the other two to migrate to an Islamic country,” NIA stated in the release.
In a bid to evade arrest, the trio had, in January 2020, fired indiscriminately at police personnel and were subsequently apprehended from Wazirabad, New Delhi, as per the NIA.

NIA investigations in the case had revealed that the accused had conspired with 6 others in the trafficking of 41 Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNS), with a face value of Rs. 82,000, from the Bangladesh border to different parts of India.
