NEW DELHI (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th September, 2018) The Indian National Investigation Agency has arrested Nashidul Hamzafar, suspected of plans to join the Islamic State terrorist group (IS, outlawed in Russia), after deporting him from Afghanistan, a source in the Indian Home Affairs Ministry confirmed to Sputnik.
Hamzafar, originally from Wayanad district in the southern Indian state of Kerala, was caught by the Afghan security agencies last year for illegally entering the country to join IS.
Afghanistan has long been suffering from an unstable political, social and security situation due to simmering Taliban insurgency as well as the activities of IS and other terror groups.
