NEW DELHI: A court in Delhi today sentenced two men to seven years in jail after they pleaded guilty of conspiring to raise funds and recruiting people for Islamic State (IS). This was the first case conviction of sympathisers of the banned terror outfit in India.
Sheikh Azhar-ul-Islam, 24, from Jammu and Kashmir and Mohammad Farhan, 25, from Maharashtra, were sentenced today by a district judge in a case investigated by the National Investigation Agency or NIA.
The conviction came a month after Islam and Farhan pleaded guilty to the charges. They had filed an application through their lawyer saying they "are remorseful of the acts" and wanted to "rehabilitate themselves and be productive for the society".
