Mumbai, July 16 (IBNS): The Maharashtra Police is searching for four people believed to have joined the Sunni militant group ISIS in Iraq, media reports said.
Aarif Majeed, Aman Tandel, Shaheen Tanki and Fahad Shaikh have been missing since May, when they went on a pilgrimage to Iraq, a NDTV report said.
 
"They allegedly have a common link - two businessmen from Thane near Mumbai, who met them regularly and are suspected to have influenced them," the channel reported.
 
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.
 
NDTV quoting sources reported that on May 31, they suddenly separated from their group in Iraq and took a taxi to Mosul, a city under ISIS control.
 
The four did not return since then but their families did not lodge any complaint.
 
"Our investigations have been on for a while. A lot of evidence has been collected and we are studying all this to investigate how these young men were indoctrinated and who funded their trip," a top official of Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorism Squad told the news channel.
