The NIA investigations have further revealed that the accused, all members of IS Maharashtra module, were operating from Padgha-Borivali, where they had hatched the conspiracy to spread terror and carry out acts of violence across the country.
The official said that pursuing the path of violent Jihad, Khilafat, IS etc., the accused had aimed to disturb the peace and communal harmony of the country and to wage a war against the India, the official said.
The official also said that its initial investigations have revealed that the arrested accused had self-declared the village of Padgha in rural Thane as a ‘liberated zone’ and as ‘Al Sham’.
"They were motivating impressionable Muslim youth to relocate in Padgha from their place of residence for strengthening the Padgha base," the official said.
The official also said that Saqib Nachan, the main accused and the leader and head of the IS module, was also administering the ‘bayath’ (oath of allegiance to the Khalifa of IS) to the persons joining the proscribed organisation.

The outfit has been spreading its terror network in India by putting in place localised IS modules and cells in various states of the country, the official said.
