KALYAN: Two of the four Kalyan youths suspected of joining terrorists in Iraq underwent drastic changes before they left for the strife-torn country, their relatives said. The young men adopted a life of austerity and pushed their family members to shun movies and music.
The four men—Aarif Majid, Aman Tandel, Fahad Shaikh and Saleem Tanki—come from the same area around Ansari chowk in Kalyan. At least three are from affluent families. Two were studying engineering and one is a mechanical engineering graduate. Aarif, the 22-year-old son of a doctor, was in the midst of his third-year civil engineering diploma examinations, when he left for Iraq.
A close relative of Aarif said he had started behaving "differently" a month and a half before leaving for Iraq. He donated his denims and shirts, and avoided using cellphones, said the relative. He would stop her sister, a doctor, from watching films and working. On one occasion, said the relative, Aarif even brought her back home from the hospital by force.
According to news reports on Monday, the four young men, all in their 20s, travelled to Iraq in late May and joined the insurgents of the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
Police officers said the families of the four youths filed missing persons complaints with the Bazarpeth police in May when the men did not return home for a while. But they became particularly alarmed when a letter reportedly left by Aarif at home was discovered. According to a report, he appears to be censuring his family in the letter for "sinning", "living luxurious lives", "watching television" and "not praying".
Addressing mediapersons on Monday, Aarif's father, Ejaz, refuted the claim that his son was fighting with terrorists in Iraq. He maintained Aarif was not connected with ISIS and had gone to Iraq in search of a job.
Like Aarif, Fahad Shaikh too became "different" before leaving for Iraq, said his uncle Iftiqar Khan. He would stop his four sisters from watching movies and music and applying makeup.

Good to see that Indian Muslim youth are shunning haram lifestyle promoted by Bollywood and coming back to Islam.
