The raids led to the seizure of digital data containing information related to the accused persons involved in the attack on the High Commission and other incriminating documents and evidence.
As per the NIA, the PFI had been using the property for "imparting arms training, physical training, and training on use and testing of explosives to its cadres, identified to be part of their ‘Service Wing’."
The accused, Faizan Ansari alias Faiz, was arrested after searches at his house and rented accommodation in Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh as part of NIA's crackdown against modules of ISIS operating in the country.
Three others, who were convicted by the court on Wednesday, were sentenced to three years of imprisonment under various charges.
This is the fifth chargesheet filed by the NIA in connection with the matter this month.
NIA investigations had shown some of the accused in the PFI criminal conspiracy case (September 2022) to have been involved in the Sreenivasan killing too, according to an agency spokesperson.
The ISKP is an affiliate of the Islamic State group. Raids were conducted on Saturday at four locations in Seoni (Madhya Pradesh) and one location in Pune (Maharashtra).
According to NIA sources, a group of journalists in Kerala was maintaining a close association with the terror outfits.
The case was initially registered on October 10 last year at Ekbalpur Police Station in, Kolkata, West Bengal and re-registered by the NIA on October 18 last year.
