nia court

The NIA has charged five individuals, including absconding mastermind Anand Kumar Singh, in a Cambodia-linked human trafficking and cyber slavery case. Indian youth were lured with fake job offers, only to face forced labor, torture, and confinement in scam operations. The kingpin allegedly profited by "selling" victims to these fraudulent companies.

A massive 7,500-page chargesheet has been filed by the NIA against 10 individuals linked to the deadly Red Fort car bomb blast in November 2025. The accused, associated with an Al-Qaeda offshoot, allegedly plotted to overthrow the Indian government and impose Sharia rule. Investigations revealed procurement of specialized equipment and manufacturing of explosives by radicalized medical professionals.

In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court underscored the primacy of bail, regardless of UAPA constraints, asserting that personal freedom must not be persistently restricted. By referencing the KA Najeeb case, the justices highlighted that extended detention without trial contravenes constitutional principles, challenging previous judgments that had sidestepped this fundamental right.

Five people have been sent to judicial custody for 25 days. The group includes two Pakistani nationals. This development is part of an NIA case concerning terror activities. Earlier, a grenade and bullets were seized from a suspect in Srinagar. His interrogation led to the arrest of the other four individuals.

In a significant breakthrough, the NIA has officially implicated notorious arms trafficker Parvez Alam in a sprawling inter-state ammunition smuggling operation. His illicit activities spanned across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Haryana, marking him as the ninth defendant in the ongoing Patna case.

The Supreme Court stated that illegal infiltration by Bangladeshi nationals is not a terrorist act, even as the BJP vows to expel them from West Bengal. The court granted bail to an individual arrested for facilitating illegal immigration, noting the porous border with Bangladesh and the large number of immigrants already in India.

"The accused all allegedly belonged to Abhinav Bharat. The explosions claimed 31 lives and injured 312. The blasts specifically targeted Muslims. Yet, maybe out of habit, the investigation agencies first arrested nine Muslims, who were eventually acquitted in 2016. In yesterday's order, the High Court criticised the NIA for its botched investigation," Owaisi said in a post on X.

Former New England Patriots player Stefon Diggs faced serious charges from his personal chef Mila Adams. The world judged him harshly when those charges surfaced online. Months later, the court found him not guilty on all counts. This case shows how quickly people react without ascertaining facts. It raises questions about believing accusations made by a woman and the need for accountability for everyone involved in the matter. Stefon Diggs lost much before the truth emerged. He was released from the Patriots team.

A special nia court sentenced seven individuals, including prime accused T Nazeer, to seven years in prison for a 2023 Bengaluru grenade and ammunition recovery case. The accused had allegedly conspired to trigger blasts in the city and were radicalized by Nazeer, the mastermind of the 2008 Bengaluru blasts. Two others received sentences under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

In a significant ruling, the Bombay High Court has absolved four individuals implicated in the 2006 Malegaon blasts, overturning a prior trial court's decision to impose terrorism charges. The court pointed out discrepancies between the findings of the ATS and NIA, highlighting the complex nature of the investigations.

Bombay High Court has permitted four individuals accused in the 2006 Malegaon blasts to challenge charges under the UAPA and other offenses. The court's decision allows them to contest charges including murder and attempt to murder. This development comes after the framing of 19 charges against them last year, with the NIA investigating the case.

A criminal trial is not like a fairy tale where one is free to give flight to one’s imagination and fantasy, says Bombay HC CJ Shree Chandrashekhar and Justice SC Chandak.
