One Indian youth who was with ISIS returns to city from Iraq

MUMBAI, Nov 28: One of the four Kalyan youths, who was recruited by the Islamic State (ISIS) to fight for the Jihadist movement in Syria, has returned home from Iraq.   Identified as Arif Majeed, was taken into custody by the National Investigating Agency (NIA) upon his return.   The NIA will conduct inquiry about his three other friends who went with him to Iraq and want to collect other information pertaining to Indian nationals involved in ISIS.   Four youths — Fahad Sheikh, Arif Majeed, Shaheen Tanki and Aman Tandel, had left for Iraq on May 25, this year claiming they were headed for a pilgrimage.   However, the next day, Arif’s father discovered a note from his son saying he had left to join the jihadists in Iraq.

Fahad, an engineer, had actually landed a job in Bandra two days before leaving. He told his family he was going to work and never returned, his family said. (UNI)
