The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday arrested two persons - Abdul Rehman, alias Abdul Rahman, and Mujibur Rehman, alias Mujibur Rahman Altham Sahib, from Thanjavur district - after conducting searches at 10 locations in five districts in the Hizb-ut-Tahrir case.
The arrested persons are members of the Hizb-ut-Tahrir, an international pan-Islamist and fundamentalist organisation which is working to re-establish an Islamic caliphate and enforce the constitution written by Hizb-ut-Tahrir’s founder Taqi al-Din al-Nabhani, according to the agency.
The investigation by the NIA revealed that they had been conducting secret classes to radicalise the youth using extremist ideologies and projecting democracy, Constitution, law and the judiciary as anti-Islamic.
