After a big push for India's national security with passage of the National Investigation Agency (Amendment) Bill, 2019, in both houses of Parliament, the country's federal terror investigation agency took on a terror outfit on Saturday, carrying out raids at 14 places across Tamil Nadu. The agency is probing into a new terror module, Ansarullah, in Tamil Nadu, which supported and raised funds for the ISIS and al-Qaeda terror outfits. The searches come a day after a special NIA court granted the probe agency eight-day custody of 16 people arrested for allegedly attempting to set up the terror outfit -- Ansarullah. Of the 16, as many as 14 were arrested after they were deported to India last week by Saudi Arabia for attempting to set up Ansarullah in Tamil Nadu. The agency claimed that there are other accused people involved in the terror outfit Ansarullah, and they will be soon be able to identify and nab them.
