The National Investigation Agency on Wednesday filed its charge sheet in a Delhi court against five suspected operatives of terror outfit Indian Mujahideen for their alleged involvement in hatching a conspiracy to carry out terror strikes in the country.
The National Investigation Agency will soon have in its custody key Indian Mujahideen operative Faizan Sultan accused of facilitating the travel and shelter of IM operatives from India to Dubai and then to Pakistan.
One of the key questions that the Intelligence Bureau officials asked Yasin Bhatkal was about the whereabouts of his neighbours and friends -- Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal -- the founders of the Indian Mujahideen.
The Indian Mujahideen's module in Azamgarh, Uttar Pradesh, comprises the most motivated and best-trained operatives of the terror group, says Vicky Nanjappa
A dossier on the Indian Mujahideen, which was prepared following its resurrection post the Batla House encounter, had termed the outfit as a "start to finish jihad factory."
Yasin Bhatkal, the chief of terror outfit Indian Mujahideen who was recently arrested by Indian security agencies, came across as extremely bitter and disillusioned about his mentor -- the Inter Services Intelligence -- during his interrogation.
The court also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on each of them over different counts.
The Indian Mujahideen follows the same pattern as its creator, Lashkar-e-Tayiba.
Acting on reports of the Intelligence Bureau about his movement, Delhi police had been hot on Tehsin's trail for a few weeks, says Vicky Nanjappa
The road to becoming India's most dreaded terrorist has been a long one for Yasin Bhatkal.
Wednesday's arrest of four terror suspects including that of SIMI mastermind Haider Ali signals the end of the road for organised terror modules in India, claims the Intelligence Bureau. But what's worrying is thatthe Al Qaeda and Taliban are taking keen interest in the terror operations in India. Vicky Nanjappa reports
Given the nature of his job, a terrorist heading an underground organisation usually grooms a successor who is prepared to take over in case of his boss's arrest or demise.

The quantum of sentence for the convicted Indian Mujahideen operatives, Aneeq Shafique Sayeed and Mohammed Akbar Ismail, will be announced next Monday.
The terror group, which suffered a major blow after the arrest of its founder Yasin Bhatkal, is all set to make a comeback with a 'sticky' bomb usually used to target government officials. Vicky Nanjappa reports
Darbhanga was for long the operations command centre for Indian Mujahideen. But now, details have emerged about how Kolkata has been a preferred destination for the terror outfit.
