One of four ISIS recruits returns India
Aarif Majid, one of the four Muslim youth who had reportedly left India in May this year to fight alongside the militant group Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq, has returned yesterday morning, The Hindu has learnt.
The four young men identified as Aarif Majid, Fahad Shaikh, Amaan Tandel and Saheem Tanki hail from Kalyan district in Thane on the outskirts of Mumbai.
On May 25, they left along with 40 others by an Etihad flight to Baghdad on a pilgrimage. On May 31, they called for a private taxi which dropped them at Mosul. Since then, they went missing and are believed to have joined the militant group.
Sources in the NIA have told the paper that the Home Ministry has decided to take a sympathetic view of the case and the government won't press any case against Aarif.
