‘Islamic State recruit’ being grilled in Mumbai - The Hindu

Aarif Majeed, who returned to India on Friday after leaving for Iraq in May purportedly to join Islamic State, claims that he got in touch with the members of the militant group through a number he found online, a source said. “He was then given a local number to get in touch with who would help him get to Iraq. We are going to verify these claims and verifying his information,” the source added.

Intelligence agencies are questioning him in Mumbai.

A senior police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said, “Earlier this month, after Aarif established contact with his father and expressed his desire to return, diplomatic channels were activated. Aarif was asked to approach the Indian Embassy in Turkey following which he was brought to India,” the source said. “His medical report revealed that he had sustained two bullet injuries but when we asked him how he got injured, he did not give a clear answer.”

Aarif reportedly told interrogators that he was indoctrinated through the Internet and read jihadi literature online.

The National Investigation Agency filed a case against Aarif under Section 125 of the Indian Penal Code (waging war against the state) and certain sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). Section 125 of the IPC provides a maximum punishment of life imprisonment if found guilty of abetting or waging war with an Asian ally.

Aarif and the other three who left with him, Fahad Shaikh, Amaan Tandel and Saheem Tanki, hail from Kalyan district in Thane on the outskirts of Mumbai.

Majeed Areeb (23) one of four Kalyan youths believed to have joined ISIS was arrested after being brought to Mumbai by an intelligence agency yesterday; an IB official said he is suspected to have killed around 55 people and had decided to come back because ISIS hadn’t paid him

One of the four Kalyan youths who were suspected to have joined the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) landed in the city yesterday and was immediately whisked away for questioning by intelligence agencies.

Areeb (right) has reportedly told officials that he wasn’t happy with how things were going in ISIS

Highly placed sources told mid-day that the youth had killed nearly 55 people as part of the terror group and had decided to return because he had not been paid. After prolonged questioning, he was arrested in the night and will be produced before an NIA court today.

This happened after a case was slapped against ISIS and its operatives under Section 125 of the IPC, which deals with waging war against any Asiatic country which has friendly ties with India, entailing maximum punishment of life imprisonment. The directions to file the case had come from the Union home ministry.

Areeb, who appeared “highly radicalised”, is likely to face action, police said.

Mumbai journey
Based on information from other intelligence agencies and by keeping an eye on 23-year-old Majeed Areeb’s immediate family and close relatives, a team from an intelligence agency travelled to Turkey and apprehended him at Istanbul airport. They brought him to Mumbai via Turkish Airlines flight TK 270, which landed at T2 around 5 am yesterday.

“Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials had also reached the airport before Areeb could land and they interrogated him. He will be kept in NIA custody,” said a senior airport official close to the investigations.

“Areeb’s friends and family were under surveillance since he went missing in May. He told officials that he wasn’t happy with how things were going in ISIS,” he added. A senior IB official, however, told mid-day, “He is suspected to have killed around 55 people as part of ISIS and he returned because he was not paid by the terrorist group.”

Background
Areeb and three other youths from Kalyan town Shaheen Tanki, Fahad Shaikh and Aman Tandel had gone to Baghdad on May 23 as part of a group of 22 pilgrims to visit religious shrines in Iraq. The next day, Areeb had called his family from Baghdad and apologised for having left without informing them.

Upon returning to India, other pilgrims had told the police that, Areeb, Fahad, Aman and Saheen had hired a taxi to Fallujah, a city west of Baghdad, which had emerged as the epicentre of Iraq's deadly insurgency.

On August 26, Tanki had called up Areeb’s family and told them that their son had become a ‘martyr’ and had died fighting for ISIS in Syria.
