Mumbai, Aug 27 (IBNS): One of the four people, from Kalyan in Mumbai, who was suspected of joining the Sunni militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Iraq, was killed on Tuesday in the country, media reports said.

The deceased, identified Arif Ejaz Majeed, a third-year civil engineering student, was reportedly killed in a blast, reports said.

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.
