The National Investigation Agency on 
Thursday filed a charge sheet against eight persons, including two 
Yazdani brothers, hailing from the city and arrested them on charges of 
alleged links with banned Islamic State organisation.
On July 29 this year, the NIA raided 
several parts of the old city of Hyderabad and  arrested Abdullah Bin 
Ahmed Al Amoodi alias Fahad alias Abuhaleem (31) of Charminar, Mohammed 
Ibrahim Yazdani alias Abu Abdurrahman (29) of Talabkatta, Habeeb 
Mohammed alias Abu Shaibah (31) of Hashmabad, Mohammed Ilyas Yazdani 
alias Abu Mansoor (24) of Talabkatta, and Muzaffar Hussain Rizwan alias 
Rizwan alias Abulhasan (29) of Talabkatta, for conspiring to carry out 
attacks in Hyderabad.
Subsequently, the NIA arrested Yasir 
Naimathullah alias Ullah Hussaini alias Abu Darda (44) of Moghalpura, 
Mohammed Ataullah Rahman alias Ghouse alias Ibne Bidri (31) of 
Bandlaguda and Abdul Raoof @ Mohammed Almashrifi (24) of Talabkatta.
They allegedly formed Jund-ul-Khilafa Fi Bilad-al-Hind (Army of the Caliph from the South India).
During investigation, the NIA said that 
it could establish that the arrested members used different modes of 
communication to connect within the IS group and with the overseas IS 
handlers.
“They formed a group called 
Jund-ul-Khilafa Fi Bilad-al Hind (Army of the Caliph from the South 
India). All the accused had conspired with a common intent to strike 
terror and threaten the safety, security and integrity of the nation.  
“They used the dark net through Tor browser, used encrypted applications
 such as Orbot, Amn al Mujahid (An encryption program by Al-Fajr Media 
Centre), Chat secure and Telegram applications, and also encrypted 
emails like Tutanota on a Tails Operating System platform.
They deliberately used secure 
communication and encryption to evade the monitoring.” The NIA said in 
its charge sheet that all the accused persons were members of a 
terrorist gang  who had the knowledge of the conspiracy.
