Bihar terror module case: ‘Accused received funds in cryptos from Qatar’

The investigation into the Phulwari Sharif terror module case in Bihar has revealed that the accused used to receive funds in the form of cryptocurrencies from Qatar, police said on Sunday.

Marguv Ahmad Danish (26), a resident of Phulwari Sharif, was arrested on July 15 for allegedly operating two WhatsApp groups — ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’ and ‘Direct Jihad’ — to propagate anti-India views, they said.

“Evidence, collected during the investigation, revealed that Danish received funds in the form of cryptocurrency from Qatar-based organisation Alfalhi,” a police officer said.

The case is at present being probed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
