One of four Kalyan boys suspected to have joined ISIS returns to India
New Delhi, Nov 28 (IBNS): One of the four youths who had left Mumbai to join Sunni militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), have returned to India and is now in the National Investigation Agency (NIA) custody.
Arif Majeed has been brought back from Turkey after he called his family and expressed a desire to return back.
He is now being questioned by the NIA.
He was earlier believed to be dead
Arif Ejaz Majeed was a third-year civil engineering student.
Aarif Majeed, Aman Tandel, Shaheen Tanki and Fahad Shaikh have been missing since May, when they went on a pilgrimage to Iraq.
Claiming to take a pilgrimage trip to the holy city of Karbala in Iraq, the four reportedly left by an Etihad flight on May 25.
They suddenly separated from their group in Iraq and took a taxi to Mosul, a city under ISIS control.
The four did not return and since then but their families did not lodge any complaint.
