A special NIA court here on Thursday sentenced two men to five years imprisonment for promoting activities of proscribed ISIS, also known as the Islamic State, in the country.
Abdullah Basith and Abdul Qadir were arrested on August 12, 2018 for their affiliation with the ISIS and for furthering its violent anti-India agenda through the ISIS Abu Dhabi module.
The NIA Special Court in Delhi sentenced them under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, and the Explosive Substances Act, a spokesperson for the federal agency said.
The official said the duo have been jailed for five years and fined Rs 2,000 each.
The NIA had launched its investigations in the case registered on January 28, 2016 on orders from the union Home Ministry after details of the serious conspiracy came to light during investigations in another case, the spokesperson said.
