A man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for raising a module of a Pakistan-based terror outfit in Assam to carry out terrorist activities, the National Investigation Agency said on Wednesday (December 31, 2025).
Md Kamruj Zaman alias Kamaruddin was awarded three separate punishments under provisions of an anti-terror law, with the maximum of life imprisonment, by an NIA special court in Guwahati, Assam, it said, adding, the sentences will run concurrently.
The court also fined Zaman ₹5,000, with three months' additional simple imprisonment in case of default, in each of the three instances.

The conspiracy was aimed at striking terror in the minds of the people, it said.
