The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Wednesday filed charge sheet in a Mumbai Court against nine members of a terror group inspired by controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, who were allegedly planning to poison the prasad given to devotees at a temple in Mumbra near Mumbai.



According to the charge sheet filed by ATS, the mastermind was ISIS supporter Talha Patrick who wanted to add poison the mahaprasad served in a Mumbra temple. Since the poison was difficult to just buy off the market, Talha chose pharmacist Abu Kittal AKA Jameen Nawab Khuteupad, a resident of Mumbra. Since he is a pharmacist, he’d also be able to get the chemicals needed for this heinous design.

Salman Sirajuddin Khan AKA Abu Ubeda’s house was being used for assembly.
