Mumbai police arrest Indian student previously working with ISIL in Iraq

Police in Mumbai have arrested an Indian engineering student who used to work with the ISIL Takfiri group in Iraq upon return to his homeland.

India’s elite National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested 23-year-old Areeb Majeed in Mumbai on Friday, after he returned from in Iraq, the Press Trust of India news agency reported on Sunday.

Majeed is charged with terror-related offenses.

The student returned home, complaining that the ISIL terrorists made him perform menial jobs including cleaning toilets.

He was made to fetch water and perform other lowly tasks instead of taking part in offensives conducted by the terrorists.

The Indian student also said he suffered an unexplained bullet wound that needed proper medical attention, though his superiors initially ignored his requests.

“Only after I begged them, I was taken to a hospital,” he said, adding that “There was neither a holy war nor any of the preaching in the holy book were followed.”

In October, India’s National Security Guard (NSG) warned that al-Qaeda and the ISIL Takfiri militants planned to carry out attacks in cities across the country.

The New Delhi government says ISIL is attempting to recruit men from inside India.

The ISIL terrorists currently control some parts of Iraq and neighboring Syria. They have been committing heinous crimes in the captured areas, including mass executions and beheading of civilians as well as security forces.
