and visited the Ahle-haddis masjid viz. Mohammedi Masjid and Masjid-e-Hamja at Malwani, Malad

Arabia which was attended by some of his close associates and friends who were deeply influenced by

Page 10 of 18
2015 in propagating the Jihadi activities of ISIS with the common objective and intention to join ISIS, a
banned International Terrorist Organization and participate in its terrorist act.
17.2 It is further revealed that in pursuance of the conspiracy hatched by the handler Yusuf Al Hindi
(A-4/WA-2), the accused Rizwan Ahmed (A-1) and the accused Mohsin Ibrahim Sayyed (A-2) were
making efforts to influence and instigate the Muslim youths from Malwani area, Malad (W), Mumbai to
become fidayeen for the cause of Islam or to leave for hijarat with the ultimate objective of motivating
them to join ISIS. The accused Rizwan Ahmed (A-1) had also professed himself to be associated with
the terrorist organisation like SIMI, Indian Mujahidin and Ansar-ut-Tauheed (AuT) alongwith his
handler Yusuf Al Hindi (A-4/WA-2).
17.3 On 15th
August, 2014, the United Nation Security Council Resolution 2170 (2014) had
unanimously declared the Islamic States of Iraq & Syria (ISIS) also known as Islamic States of Iraq &
Levant (ISIL) or Islamic State (IS) or Islamic Caliphate (IC) as terrorist organisation and condemned the
‘Recruitment of Foreign Terrorist Fighters and Terrorist Financing’. The said resolution is binding
upon all the member states which state that they should take all measures to prevent the movement of
terrorists, as well as their supply of arms and financial support. ISIS is proscribed terrorist organisation
as per provision of UA(P) Act which is listed at serial number 38 of the first schedule of the said Act.

with his family members. Later on his family moved to Malwani area of Malad (W), Mumbai sometine
in March-April, 2014. After the declaration of the Caliphate by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in June, 2014,
during the period between late 2014 and early 2015, the accused, Ayaz Mohammed (A-3/WA-1) got

violent Jihadi mind set. He also started showing these clips, photos and speeches to his friends and
thereby started influencing others from the Malwani area. He also started sharing information about
internet link with others and told them to be in contact with ISIS organisation. Accused Ayaz
Mohammed (A-3/WA-1) thus started propagating the jihadi activities of ISIS. During this process he

the Jihadi activities of terrorist organization ISIS.

had held Eid namaz at Ayaz Mohammed’s (A-3/WA-1) house in 2015, a day before the Ramzan Eid, as
was declared in India. (Ramzan Eid is celebrated a day before in Saudi Arabia). Accused, Ayaz
Mohammed (A-3/WA-1), claimed that the Muslim around the world should celebrate Eid on the same
day as was celebrated in Saudi Arabia to follow puritan form of Islam.

Mohammed (A-3/WA-1) had influenced and instigated some of the Muslim youths of Malwani area to

for hijarat to Syria. In pursuance of the above conspiracy of instigating these youths, he made them join
