Delhi High Court upheld the trial court’s order. The petition of the accused was rejected.
Delhi High Court on Monday rejected the petition of Al-Qaeda terrorist Mohammad Abdul Rehman. The court said, ‘Brainwashing the youth through speeches and involving them in illegal activities against the country cannot be ignored because no major terrorist incident took place.’
In fact, Mohammad Abdul Rehman was sentenced to 7 years and 5 months in prison by the trial court in February 2023 after finding him guilty in a case related to the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). Rehman had appealed against this in the High Court.
Rehman had argued in the High Court that I was convicted of terrorist activity and involving people in it, but no evidence was found to prove that I had done anything like this.
Rehman is accused of being associated with the Indian unit of terrorist organization Al-Qaeda. During the arrest, fake documents and passport were found from him. The investigation also revealed that he had gone to Pakistan.
The bench said-
Court said- Rahman has close relations with terrorist organization The court said that Mohammad Abdul Rehman was in contact with people associated with Al-Qaeda. All of them were part of a big network. Therefore the decision of the trial court is upheld.
These are the allegations on the network
- make inflammatory speeches
- Distributing anti-religion and anti-India material
- Contact with terrorist organizations present in Pakistan
- Holding meetings with terrorist organizations,
- Recruiting, raising funds for terror group
- Spreading evil eye against India and its political leaders
The bench also said these things in the decision
High Court Said that there is no need for hidden activity in such conspiracies, but declared terrorist organizations definitely get secret support. The plan to carry out terrorist activity can last for many years.
The court said that the motive of Section 18 of UAPA is to address such preparations. Even if no terrorist activity took place. Terrorist organizations like Al-Qaeda work in a very secretive manner in the Indian subcontinent. Its accomplices often leave no evidence.
