Pune Ansarullah Bangla Team Case: NIA Sentences 2 Bangladeshis To 5 years Of Imprisonment

The National Investigation Agency Special Court has recently sentenced 2 persons to 5 years imprisonment in the Pune Ansarullah Bangla Team case for harbouring ABT terrorists.

Maharashtra Police had initially registered a case on March 16, 2018, on inputs that several Bangladeshi nationals were staying in Pune without valid documents.

They were involved in abetting and aiding members of the ABT, a front organisation of Al Qaida.

Acting upon the information, police intercepted Mohamed Habibur Rehman and Habib Raj Jesub Mondal at Dhobighat, Bhairoba Nala, Pune, Maharashtra and subsequently arrested 5 Bangladeshi nationals.

NIA took over the investigations of the case as RC-01/2018/NIA/MUM dated May 18, 2018.

NIA investigations revealed that, arrested Bangladeshi nationals had illegally infiltrated India.

They had fraudulently obtained PAN cards, Aadhaar Cards, Voter IDs, and Ration Cards under fictitious names by providing fake documents and intentionally used the said Aadhaar & PAN cards for procuring Indian SIM cards, opening bank accounts, and seeking employment in India.

NIA stated, “Furthermore, they had harboured Samad Mia alias Tanvir and other ABT members at a construction site in Pune. They also gave money to Tushar Biswas, a member of ABT and other members. NIA had filed charge sheets against all the arrested accused on September 7, 2018.”
