National Investigation Agency (NIA) conducted searches at several places in Tamil Nadu on Tuesday as part of its probe against the Hizb-ut-Tahrir, a pan-Islamist organisation aspiring to establish an Islamic caliphate in the country, officials said. They said the searches were being carried out at 11 locations in the state.
The anti-terror agency had in June this year arrested two men associated with the fundamentalist organisation in connection with another case.
