The former, while in Central Jail Srinagar, had conspired with his co-accused, including Riyaz Naikoo and Mugal, and assisted Danish Ghulam Lone and Suhail Ahmad Bhat to cross the border from Kupwara sector to join terror ranks and wage a war against Jammu and Kashmir.
The accused Mugal had provided logistic support to the accused duo, Lone and Bhat, at Kupwara when both were about to cross the LoC.
The duo were charge sheeted by the NIA on February 22, 2019, and charges were framed by the NIA Special Court, Jammu, on August 6, 2019.

Others arrested and charge sheeted in the case were Danish Ghulam Lone, Suhail Ahmad Bhat, Feeroz Ahmad Lone, while a key conspirator, Reyaz Ahmad Naikoo, a top terrorist of the HM, was killed in an encounter with the security forces.
