Kasargod, Jan 30: Investigating agencies said that Abdul Rashid from the town, who has been named as main accused in the recruitment of people from Kerala for ISIS, will in all possibilities, be arrested soon. A number of people from the state had gone missing under mysterious circumstances, and all of them are believed to be working for ISIS now.
National Investigating Agency (NIA), which is probing the matter, has learnt that Abdul Rashid is in Afghanistan at present. It is now making efforts to arrest Rashid with the support of Afghan government. NIA has already filed its charge sheet relating to a case in which about 30 young men and women hailing from different districts of the state had joined ISIS. In the charge sheet filed in the special court, Abdul Rashid and a lady named Yasmeen from Bihar have been named as the main accused.
A number of cases have already been filed in different police stations in Palakkad, Ernakulam and Kasargod districts about young people from here joining ISIS. As the case had international ramifications, the case was taken over by NIA. Yasmeen had been arrested in August last when she was trying to fly to Afghanistan at New Delhi airport along with her four-year-old son, by policemen from Chandera.
NIA team had taken over her custody, and collected detailed information during interrogations. Yasmeen, who happens to be the second wife of Rashid, continues to be in judicial custody.
