Group given by congruence relation

Hi,

Beginner in Sage (I love it!) , I want to ask you this maybe naive question:

I have a group G defined by {MSL2(Z) | M=I+kB mod(N)}, where I is the identity, N a given positive integer, B is a given fixed matrix verifying B2=0 and kZ/NZ. I want to explore conjugacy classes/subgroups of this group G for some specific B and N. Is this subgroup finitely generated for some N? subgroups of finite index? etc... Do I have a way to do that with SageMath?

Remark that

It is subgroup of a finitely generated group butv that do not imply that it is finitely generated

B2=0 gives that I+kB=Λk with Λ=I+B.

An obvious subgroup is H={Λk, kZ}

Any advise or web pointer would be appreciated

Thanks for your help
