According to reports, Saquib Nachan has been at the helm of carrying out 3 bomb blasts within a span of 4 months (6th December 2002 to 13th March 2003).
Huge amounts of unaccounted cash, firearms, sharp-edged weapons, incriminating documents, smartphones and other digital devices were seized during the raids, conducted as part of the NIA's ongoing efforts to disrupt and demolish the attempts of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to carry out violent acts of terror and take innocent lives.
Saquib spent less than 2 years as a convict before being freed in November 2017. His release came 5 months earlier than expected on account of being 'disciplined' in jail.
Of the total 44 locations being raided by the NIA since this morning, the agency sleuths searched one place in Karnataka, two in Pune, 31 in Thane Rural, nine in Thane city and one in Bhayander, sources said.
Wajihuddin Ali Khan initially started working for ISIS as an Over Ground Worker (OGW) and later established himself as an 'Amir' in organisations like SAMU (Students of AMU).
