Assadullah Abubakr and Mohammed Asif, who were arrested in Karnataka recently, told investigating agencies that they were in charge of this recruitment agency.
Assadullah and Asif were in charge of identifying youths from other religions and coaxing them to join the movement. According to the duo, they identified youths who were felt wronged or were in financial trouble, and convinced them into believing that their path would get them justice.
According to Nagori, this force's task was to brainwash youths into joining the banned SIMI.
Another wing of SIMI, which has come to light recently, is an all-women group called the Shaheen Force.
According to the IB, SIMI has recruited nearly 25,000 members across the country, of which 6,000 were recruited through the new agency which has come in handy since the crackdown by security agencies and their constant monitoring had made things difficult for the SIMI cadres.
In Belgaum, the arrest of a key operative revealed to the intelligence agencies the outfit's plan to undertake inter-state operations.
