Nazir would share inflammatory audio clips and video notes with local sympathizers of the terror outfits, inciting them to pursue jihad and wage a war against India. He also provided them with arms, ammunition and hand grenades etc to carry out the violent agenda of the terrorist organisations seeking to spread terror among the people.
The case was registered by NIA on the basis of an FIR filed by J&K police in October 2024 after a police party at Surankote, Poonch, apprehended Abdul Aziz and seized two grenades from his bag. His interrogation had led to the arrest of Munawar Hussain, from whom 1 pistol with 1 magazine and 9 rounds were seized.
