Sleuths of National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday conducted searches at the house of one Thajuddin Haamidih in Madurai, in connection with a case registered in 2022 under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
The team arrived at Haamidih’s residence on Kazimar Street at around 5 a.m. and conducted the search for about an hour. Later, they took him to the building of the Boy’s Club of Madurai City Police, and questioned him in connection with the case registered against “some” suspected persons having assembled during a proposed visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Bihar in 2022.
The NIA sleuths also seized a mobile phone and two SIM cards from him. Local police said that the NIA tracked down Haamidih based on phone contacts.
Haamidih, however, claimed that he had never been to Bihar, and was not connected with the case in any way, and complained of harassment. He complained that even as the search was under way in his presence at his house, the media, quoting police sources, were falsely reporting that he was absconding.
