NIA raids madrasa in UP’s Banda, investigates students for six hours

Banda City, Uttar Pradesh: National Investigation Agency (NIA) raided Hathori Madrasa, a renowned one in Uttar Pradesh’s Banda district on Thursday. The team started its interrogation at 2 pm questioning over 50 students and also the teachers, and searched the premises for over six hours.

The investigating agency searched for documents related to Asif, an arrest in Kashmir for supporting terror outfit. The NIA recovered his phone number. It also confiscated several documents from official records when Asif studied in Hathori madrasa two years ago.

The NIA maintained silence over their search operation and left the Madrasa at 8 pm on the same day. According to the sources, the agency is seeking mobile numbers that were found in Asif’s cellphone. They also hinted that NIA conducted this raid, as they were suspecting the involvement of other students in some conspiracy.
