Investigations revealed the trio had also planned to secure support from the Pakistan Army through “Haj and Umrah travellers”, it said.

“The accused were engaged in recruiting vulnerable youth to the secret bayan classes of HuT and were radicalised into the ideology of HuT, which was banned, along with all its manifestations and front organisations, by the Government of India in October last year,” the NIA said.
