Two persons were arrested on charges of helping a Muslim man ‘forcibly’ convert a Kerala woman and attempting to take her to Syria to be sold off to Islamic State (IS) terrorists in Ernakulam District on January 10, reports The Indian Express. Fayaz and Siyad, both natives of North Paravur near Kochi, were arrested following investigations based on a complaint by the 25-year-old woman, who was rescued from Saudi Arabia and brought home last year by her family.The two are friends of Muhammad Riyaz from Thalassery in Kannur District, the prime accused in the case. “They have been charged under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act [UAPA],” Ernakulam Rural Superintendent of Police (SP) A V George said, adding a hunt is on to arrest eight more accused, including Riyas, in the case. He said the police have begun a probe into their alleged link with the Islamic State terrorists. George said both Fayaz and Siyad were arrested based on the woman’s complaint that she was allegedly tortured by them in a house in North Paravoor before Riyaz took her abroad. The woman had alleged that Riyaz pretended to be in love with her when she was studying in Bengaluru (Karnataka) in 2014 and forced her to convert to Islam and married her. The woman from Pathanamthitta District was brought up in Gujarat. She had moved the Kerala High Court last year seeking an NIA probe against Riyaz for attempting to take her to Syria from Saudi Arabia and sell her to the Islamic State terrorists as a sex slave. She has also alleged that her marriage was registered using forged documents.

The remaining balance was paid to Sayed on May 17, 2014 by Majeed.

The Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) has revealed on January 28 that over the last three years, 86 Indian youths were prevented from joining Islamic State (IS), reports The Times of India. Majority of these Indians were college-going students with some of them pursuing higher education and some of them were working professionals. With the implement of adequate measures including de-radicalisation process, the Maharashtra ATS not only stopped these people from joining the IS but also prevented the vulnerability of anti-India activities in the country, said an unnamed senior ATS official. "Our efforts are to prevent youths from joining terror outfits. De-radicalisation of youths under the influence of terror elements is one of the prime steps. We can say we have managed to achieve the desired results, but one must understand that de-radicalisation has its limitations too," said Maharashtra ATS Chief Atulchandra Kulkarni.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has received a communication from the authorities in Libya about Tabrez Tambe (30), a resident of Mumbra of Thane District in Greater Mumbai area of Maharashtra who left to join Islamic State (IS) in January 2016, is alive as a ‘Prisoner of War’ (PoW) in a jail of Libya, reports The Indian Express on January 30. The MEA has shared the same communication with the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) that further directed the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) to look into the matter. The ATS team had send an official ‘Letter Rogatory’ (LR) to the Libya authorities to bring-in Tabrez Tambe, but the LR is still unanswered. This could be a first case where an official request has been forward to the judiciary system of a foreign country to bring an IS operative for trial in India, said an unnamed senior official at UMHA. If there would be positive developments in bringing Tambe back to India, he will be the second Indian national, after Areeb Majeed, from Maharashtra to be prosecuted by Indian authorities for joining IS.
