The NIA, however, said that the charge-sheeted accused include trained PFI cadres involved in inciting and radicalizing impressionable Muslim youth.

Also recruiting them into PFI and organizing them through specially organized PFI training camps were found involved in imparting arms training.

Its objective was to carry out violent terrorist activities in furtherance of the conspiracy to establish Islamic rule in the country by 2047.

The NIA said that these PFI cadres misinterpreted religious texts and declared that a violent form of jihad was necessary to alleviate the suffering of Muslims in India.

After being recruited into the PFI, Muslim youths were sent to training camps organized by accused PFI cadres.

Where they were trained to use lethal weapons to kill their ‘targets’ by attacking vital body parts such as the throat, abdomen, and head.
