NIA unearthed a Syria-based online entity namely 'Ummimmarah' to which funds were transferred using cryptocurrency.
In a first of its kind probe, the federal agency has revealed in its charge sheet that accused Mohammad Mohsin Ahmad, a first-year engineering student, operated a crypto account with bitcoin exchange, Wazir X, and raised funds from as many as 20 entities in less than two years.
Ahmad, a native of Patna, was arrested by the NIA in August last year from south east Delhi Batla House and during the searches, a laptop containing ISIS propaganda material was found. The digital forensic evidence led to the seizure of literature including photoshopped images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, ISIS pamphlets and photographs of al-Qaeda leaders Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Al-Jawahari, both killed in US airstrikes.
Investigations revealed that Ahmad conspired with ISIS handlers and others for the propagation of ISIS ideology, with the objective of radicalising Indian youth and recruiting them for ISIS. "He was involved in raising funds for ISIS from ISIS sympathisers and sending the collected funds to his Syria based ISIS handlers through crypto-currency channels, thereby supporting the ISIS in furtherance of its terrorist activities," the NIA stated.

INDIA' SLOWING EXPORTS
India’s exports declined about 16.7% in October 2022 compared with the same period 2021, raising concerns.
Factors of Slowing Export Demand
✓Weaker Global Demand: the global economic growth is decelerating sharply in the wake of persistently high inflation across developed countries and, as a result, as sharp tightening of monetary policy.
✓Inflation: has been driven up more by local factors, including higher food prices, than imported reasons
✓Fall in oil and other export
✓Rising Global Trade Tension: trade war between the US and China and other global trade wars has impacted growth all over the world.
Positive Signals to the Economy -
✓Despite the slowing export scenario, it is likely that domestic demand will carry through.
✓The investment cycle will be reinvigorating which will spur growth and job creation in the coming days.
✓The private sector capital expenditure is on track to touch six lakh crore this fiscal 2022-23 which would make it the highest of the past six years.
- Private capex typically depends on credit, or loans, from the banking system.
- And that has seen a healthy growth in the recent past touching a high of 18% in September, 2022.
