Assam Terror Conspiracy Conviction has brought a major legal closure to a Pakistan-backed terror plot in India. A special NIA court in Guwahati sentenced an Assam-based man to life imprisonment for plotting terrorist activities at Pakistan’s behest.
The National Investigation Agency confirmed that the convict, Mohammad Kamruzzaman alias Kamruddin, worked with Pakistan-based terror outfit Hizbul Mujahideen. The court found him guilty under multiple provisions of anti-terror laws. Judges also imposed a fine of ₹5,000 and an additional three months of imprisonment in default.
Investigators said Kamruzzaman actively coordinated terror plans between 2017 and 2018. He maintained contact with Hizbul Mujahideen handlers and attempted to expand the network inside India. The NIA proved that he recruited several individuals and motivated them to join terror activities.
The agency had filed a chargesheet in March 2019 against five accused. Kamruzzaman recruited Sahenwaz Alom, Saidul Alam, and Umar Farooq to assist in terror operations. The court convicted all three earlier and awarded appropriate sentences. The fifth accused, Jayanal Uddin, died during the trial due to illness.
The NIA stated that the verdict reinforces India’s zero-tolerance approach toward terrorism. Officials said the judgment sends a strong deterrent message to terror modules operating from across the border.
