The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has initiated a probe into Namira Tariq Khan, a 19-year-old resident of Mumbra, after she allegedly concealed crucial information while obtaining a new passport. Namira once held a passport issued in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, but allegedly failed to mention her previous travel document during the application process for her current passport from Mumbra.
As a result, the Mumbra Police registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Namira under provisions of the Passports Act, 1967, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The investigation has taken an unexpected twist as it now involves the alleged connections of Namira's father, Tariq Khan, who is a fugitive with suspected ties to extremist groups like the Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Indian Mujahideen (IM).
The ATS is examining both passports, reviewing her travel history, and tracking potential links to her father, who has three previous cases registered against him. These include charges related to SIMI (2001), the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in 2006, and involvement in counterfeit currency in 2011. According to ATS officials, Tariq Khan was known for delivering inflammatory speeches and was instrumental in radicalizing and recruiting youth for extremist groups.
