Mumbai, June 9: A special NIA court on Tuesday reserved its order on the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) plea seeking the addition of charges of raising funds for terrorist activities against alleged ISIS recruit Areeb Majeed.

NIA plea and chargesheet

Majeed has filed written objections to the plea, contending that the application has been moved at a belated stage. In April, the NIA filed a fifth supplementary chargesheet against him, invoking Section 17 (punishment for raising funds for terrorist acts) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.

According to the NIA, Kalyan resident Majeed, along with co-suspects Fahad Shaikh, Saheem Tanki and Aman Tandel, was influenced by ISIS ideology.
