New Delhi, May 15:The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday filed a supplementary chargesheet against an accused in the case involving the activities of “The Resistance Front” (TRF), an offshoot of the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), officials said.

“As part of the conspiracy hatched with other co-accused and handlers/operatives of LeT/TRF, Faisal had actively worked for LeT/TRF and had received funds from operatives of LeT, with the intent to further its terror activities,” NIA said.

After receiving the consignments from his associates, accused Faisal Muneer used to store them at his residence for onward delivery to terrorist operatives and their OGWs, on the directions of the LeT/TRF operatives based across the border,” NIA said.
