The case, registered by the NIA as part of its efforts to destroy various terrorist and radical networks and outfits trying to spread mayhem across India, relates to an HuT conspiracy to radicalise and recruit vulnerable Muslim youth, according to a statement issued by the probe agency.

The youth were being motivated to spread violence in a bid to overthrow India's democratically-elected government and establish an Islamic State governed by Shariah law, it said.
