BENGALURU: Nine persons from India, including one from Hassan, have been deported by Turkey after they were allegedly caught trying to cross over to Syria to join the terror outfit ISIS, police say.

The group is being questioned by Bengaluru police and central agencies after they arrived at the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) on Sunday.

According to police, they went to Istanbul from Bengaluru on tourist visas on December 24, 2014, and were sent back by the Turkish authorities on January 30.

Among those sent back from Turkey are engineers Ibrahim Nowfal, 24, from Hassan and Javeed Baba, 24, from Khammam district, Telangana. The remaining seven belonged to a family from Chennai - Muhammed Abdul Ahad, 46, his wife and their five children.

Police said Ahad has done masters in computer science from Kennedy-Western University, California, US, and worked in the US for more than 10 years.

A senior police officer said Ahad had left India soon after doing his graduation in engineering and was settled in the US. "Two of his children are US citizens, but he still holds an Indian passport," said the police officer. It may be recalled that in December 2014, Bengaluru police had arrested Mehdi Masroor Biswas from the city for operating a pro-ISIS Twitter handle. Biswas owned @ShamiWitness, which had 17,700 followers.

Police reportedly found over 12,000 direct messages sent and received from his Twitter account. These messages, the city police claimed, gave them solid evidence to prove Mehdi's role in inspiring youths to be part of the ISIS struggle.

I thought we are a "secular" country

Unlike the minority suppressing BJP, the secular Congress government of Karnataka should ensure they get opportunities to fulfill their dreams and are able to got to Syria/ Iraq on a one way ticket

So Indians trying to join ISIS far outnumber Pakistanis.

Why not hand them over to PKK ?

So Indians trying to join ISIS far outnumber Pakistanis.

Pakistanis can fulfil their terror appetite by joining local indigenous terror groups

India has made local groups mostly extinct

Same number of muslims in both countries. Do the math

They are not muslim terrorists
Just poor unemployed villagers who are confused in life
Give them meaningful jobs and they will happily drop their bows and arrows or in some cases ww2 rifles

No comparision

Terrorists are terrorists, it doesnt matter ideological or religious.

And implying that religious terrorism has nothing to do with the socio-economic situation of a region is ridiculous.

why did they move to syria in the first place ?? all those indian muslims (including women ) who tried to move to Islamic state , went there with the goal of fighting for isis and kill the innocents of iraq and syria .. these guys are no exception...

 

[WAJsal]

A background check have to be made , to ensure that they have no links with isis....

Stupid comment,how can they not?maybe a few wont but most are recruited,so they will have links with ISIS.ISIS has a system of brainwashing idiots too,you know!at the end of the day ,they are going to fight for ISIS,which means kill innocent!

wouldn't it be better if they just managed to join ISIS and be 'martyrs' ? I don't know if such extremists can ever be rehabilitated, they'll just spread poison in our society.. or maybe rot in jail for life, eating taxpayer funded meals in relative safety. US educated guy taking his family to the Caliphate.. I don't understand it

how would you want your government to handle a case like this ?
