Hizb-ut-Tahrir tries to mislead the youth by giving provocative speeches. Apart from preparing the youth for jihad, it also gives them weapons training. Even the radical terrorist organization gives training to make biological weapons. Hizb-ut-Tahrir is also involved in religious conversion. Apart from this, its hand has also been found in incidents of love jihad.

According to the Chennai Central Crime Branch, a father-son duo from Royapettah and their associates brainwashed people to join Hizb-ut-Tahrir. The Crime Branch has handed over the terrorism case to the NIA. Some of the accused arrested earlier in a similar case are also being questioned.
