Indian girl contacted ISIS agent in Sri Lanka: ToI report ::: Dailymirror.lk ::: Breaking News

A teenage girl from India has been put under surveillance after police investigations had revealed that she had links with the ISIS after establishing contact with one of its agent in Sri Lanka and other ISIS sympathizers on social media networks, the Times of India reported today.

The 16-year-old Pune college girl, who was allegedly in touch with an Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) executive Mohammed Sirajuddin, has been put under surveillance for her suspected links with the ISIS, assistant commissioner of police, Bhanupratap Barge of the anti-terrorism squad said. Sirajuddin, who was arrested, had formed closed groups of IS sympathizers, including boys and girls from Maharashtra, on Facebook and WhatsApp.

He was allegedly spreading IS activities online and trying to recruit Indian youths for the terrorist group. He was arrested in Jaipur last week. The girl was deeply influenced by IS activities and radicalized online. She was in regular touch with many sympathizers of the dreaded terrorist group, Barge said.

Officials said the girl was in touch with Sirajuddin and was about to visit Iran or Syria because IS members were ready to bear her medical education and other expenses. She was regularly interacting with IS sympathizers on WhatsApp and Twitter and exchanging mails with people in countries such as the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Kenya and some in Europe.

Investigations showed that the girl was attracted to the IS ideology while watching a television channel four months ago. She began searching for more information on IS on internet portals and established contact with an IS agent in Sri Lanka.

ATS officials said the girl began believing that the world should follow an Islamic ideology and Muslims in India should "do anything for the sake of Islam". Her parents noticed a sudden change in her behaviour. She gave up wearing T-shirts, jeans and dresses to college and began to sport a burqa.

"We have not registered a complaint against the girl because she is a minor and she did not radicalize others," Barge told TOI. "As part of our national programme, we have undertaken an exercise for the past eight days to de-radicalize her with support from her parents."

Barge said they had prevented the girl from joining IS. "The girl has shown remarkable signs of improvement because she has realized that she has done something wrong," he said. -

Very worrying.. Already one Lankan origin terrorist died in Syria, Apparently the authorities got to know about it only after it was published in a ISIS website.. WTF ??!!??

The rate of radicalizing of Muslims on the island seems to be going unabated .. It's crazy to walk around Colombo these days to see women covered themselves head to toe in black garb.. something that was Hardly seen half a decade ago.. It's not as if Muslims did'nt live there before

You cant blame them either, Their experience and expectation were from other quarters, or they were more focused on LTTE......

Dumb girl, should have contacted CIA or KSA that would have been a faster route

It is a ticking bomb, and very worrying that people can be radicalised easily.......I see 2 points here

Negative : People can be radicalised easily (at least in this case )

Positive : Authorities are keeping a tab on IS related activities in the country.....

 

[Sipahi]

Its strange, normally their recruiting agency operate from Europe.

Indian authorities yes.. Lankans are the worry

 

[Assange]

She wants to be a whore in Sriya???? She can do the same thing in India.....

 

[Capt.Popeye]

She wants to be a whore in Sriya???? She can do the same thing in India.....

But she can't reach paradise through that route in India. Probably direct flights to paradise from Syria on that air-line!

Yaara, now its a multi-national corporation. Globalisation has its effects too, just as there are 'paradise-seekers' all over the world!

Sri Lanakn authorities were probably working with Indians on this one. Its hard to find when things happen in the Social Media, these are the reason why western countries try to keep an eye on those things
The Sri Lankan authorities are aware of ISIS activities

Security in the Airport as well as the Airlines were beefed up this month
Sri Lanka beefs up security at BIA, SriLankan and Mihin | The Sunday Times Sri Lanka
They even sent an armed man as a decoy to test the security

There was even a protest by customs officials because new measures

Sri Lanka probably keeps an eye on ISIS agents in SL but its impossible to fully disrupt ISIS activities in South Asia until all South Asian countries cooperate

Offtopic:

Such cases will go up once Lanka buys JF-17. Pakistan/China is not going to becoming billionaire from the sales of 10 JF-17.
but it is going to use the military relation with lanka to spead his wings.
It will hire many muslims in Lanka who could be potential recruit/terrorist/spies targeting India.

Last year, One of the top Pak embassy officer in Lanka had terror links & associations with a terrorist(who belonged to muslim faith) who was nabbed by malaysian police. The terrorist had planned to bomb Indian embassy in chennai.

Muhammad Hussain during his interrogation had told the Malaysia police about the entire plot. He refers to Amir Zubair Siddiqui the Pakistan consular officer who was based in Sri Lanka as the mastermind. Hussain also told the Malaysian police that he handed over the role of arranging for the funds.
