Mohammed Jalaluddin is also said to be a member of SIMI. The police have claimed that the accused tried to execute a terror strike during Modi's rally.
The police have recovered sensational documents from Jalaluddin and Parvez in which it has been written that they will make India an Islamic state by 2047.
On the pretext of providing physical training to the youth, the accused were brainwashing them in Patna. They were allegedly provoking Muslim youth against the Hindus.
Meanwhile, sources in the know of things said the NIA is also closely monitoring the matter, and has launched a parallel probe.
