Name: Sadiya Anwar Sheikh

Age: 20 ( at the point of arrest by NIA in 2020)

She has confessed to being an ISIS member.

🔴Case: Convicted by NIA court in a case relating to terror activities of lslamic State – Khorasan Province (ISKP) group.

👉Sadiya had tried to procure SUICIDE JACKET through Jahanzaib Sami (terrorist who wanted to carry out 100 IED blast across India in ONE DAY).

👉In 2015, she was counselled by Maharashtra #ATS, when it was found that she wanted to join ISIS in #Syria.

👉In 2018, was put under arrest by the Jammu and Kashmir police due to her suspicious activities, though was later released and handed over to her family due to lack of evidence.

👉She has been awarded 7 years of imprisonment.

She was on NIA’s radar for 5 years before she was arrested.

👉Others in the case include:

▶️Nabeel Siddiqui: 15 yrs of imprisonment

▶️Jahanzaib Sami: varying periods of imprisonment, ranging between 3 to 20 years, who wanted to blast 100 #IEDS in a single day across India.

▶️Abdur rehman, ISIS member who had visited Syria in 2013

▶️ Abdullah Basith who helped Sami run ISIS magazine in India

Note: This case is a testament to the patience our country India as a democracy displays to those who want to subvert our motherland. 7 years of imprisonment is too less for a terrorist like her who has a propensity to get close to terror entities.
