Madurai/IBNS: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Sunday raided four locations in Tamil Nadu's Madurai in connection with Facebook posts, allegedly advocating the ISIS ideology, of one Mohammad Iqbal,  said media reports.

A case in the matter was first registered by the Tamil Nadu police last year for the alleged incriminating posts supporting the ideologies of ISIS and Hizb-Ut-Tahrir, an extremist organisation, said a Hindustan Times report.

NIA took over the investigation on April 15.

“Investigation has revealed that the posts on the Facebook page ‘Thoonga Vizhigal Rendu is in Kazimar Street’ were uploaded by accused Iqbal for denigrating a particular community. The posts were designed to incite communal disharmony amongst different religious groups, in a manner prejudicial to the maintenance of public order,” according to the statement issued by a NIA spokesperson, the HT report stated.

On December 2, local police arrested Iqbal alias Senthil Kumar, a resident of Kazimar Street, Madurai, and he is currently in judicial custody, the report informed.

Today, NIA, searched places in Kazimar Street, K Pudur, Pethaniyapuram and Mehaboob Palayam in Madurai.
