Zahed had received grenades from local terror conduits on instruction of Pakistani handlers and was planning to hurl them at public gatherings and processions during the festive season.
An FIR was lodged on October 1 last year with the CCS under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act,” an NIA official said. During investigations, police seized two hand grenades, two mobile phones and `3.9 lakh from Zahed’s residence. Owing to the seriousness of the crime and its inter-state and international ramifications, the Union home ministry stated it was a scheduled offence under National Investigation Agency Act, 2008, and directed NIA to take up the case on January 25.
