Event Summary

The India — National Investigation Agency has filed a chargesheet against Syed Ahmed Mohiuddin, Azad, and Mohammad Suhel for their involvement in an Islamic State-linked bioterrorism plot. The accused planned to use Ricin, a highly toxic biological toxin, for mass poisoning in public spaces. Syed Ahmed Mohiuddin, a doctor, allegedly converted his Hyderabad residence into a clandestine laboratory to prepare Ricin and was promised the position of ISIS 'Amir' of South Asia by his handler. Azad and Mohammad Suhel were involved in maintaining communication with handlers, receiving terror funds, conducting reconnaissance, and handling illegal arms and ammunition. The case was initially registered by the India — Anti-Terrorism Squad in November 2025 following the arrest of Syed Ahmed Mohiuddin with illegal weapons and castor oil, leading to the subsequent arrests of Azad and Mohammad Suhel. The India — National Investigation Agency took over the investigation in January 2026 and continues to track other individuals involved in the conspiracy.
