The National Investigation Agency today filed its charge sheet against arrested ISIS 'recruit' Arif Majeed in a special court in Mumbai, "We have filed a charge sheet in the special NIA court against Majeed," said an NIA official.

The 8,000-page charge sheet running into seven volumes contains the statements of witnesses, his conversation in the chat rooms and his mobile phone records, the official added.

In January this year, a local court had allowed NIA to seek details of conversations and chats carried out by the alleged ISIS 'recruit' through telecommunication apps Skype and Tango headquartered in Luxembourg and California, USA respectively.

The 23-year-old youth from Kalyan in neighbouring Thane landed in Mumbai on November 28 last year after a visit to Iraq, following which he was detained and subsequently arrested.
