They were involved in  physical training, arms training, firing practices, manufacture of bombs/petrol bombs, motor bike racing, rope climbing etc practices in the camp.  They have also conducted “Jihadi” classes in the camp.  The secret training camp was conducted with an intention to train the participants to advocate, incite and abet unlawful, terrorist activities, disrupt communal harmony and causing threat to the sovereignty and integrity of the country,thereby waging war against lawfully established Govt of India.
