Indian anti-terror authorities stopped a graduate from boarding a flight to the UAE, where he was due to take up a job with a company in Dubai, because of his previous links with the terrorist group ISIL.
A spokesperson for India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) told 7Days newspaper that the mechanical engineering graduate had previously planned to join up with ISIL along with four others last year, but had decided against it, and wanted to take up a job with a company in the UAE.
However, as he attempted to leave Mumbai last week, Indian authorities stopped him from boarding the flight to Dubai.
“He was stopped because he is on our watch list for suspicious activity,” the NIA official told 7Days.
The official said that the youth, from Kalyan, is not accused of any crime and is not in custody.
“He was not caught in a manner where he was trying to escape. But he is not allowed to leave the country without informing police and getting their permission. His activities and associations are under suspicion, therefore he is required to be in the country and be available for inquiry whenever required,” the official said.
