Kerala Police arrested two more persons in alleged connection with the terror group Islamic State. The arrests came a day after three more alleged ISIS suspects were arrested by the police. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been probing cases of disappearance of several Indians who are suspected to have joined the ISIS.
The three men, all in the mid-twenties, had been on the radar of the police ever since they were turned back from Turkey four months ago. Kannur police said they were headed to Syria to join the terror organization when they were deported. The new suspects are arrested by observing the online activities of the three.
An estimated number of 100 Indians have left to fight for the Islamic State in Syria, Iraq and elsewhere. Many of them from Kerala amid concerns that an extreme form of Islam was taking root in the state. In many cases, it was the families that reached out to the police for help.
