MUMBAI: Kalyan engineer Arif Majeed, who quit terror group Islamic State and returned to India last month, has told investigators that he was part of a radicalized group of 40 students at a Panvel college and each one of them was referred to as Naqeeb — Urdu for ‘leader’.
Arif — who is being questioned by the National Investigation Agency, Intelligence Bureau, and Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad counter-insurgency experts — has revealed that all 40 in the group spent a lot of time on the internet, mining information on terrorist groups and Islamic preachings. However, when an opportunity came their way to join the ISIS, everyone except Arif chickened out. Eventually Arif left for Iraq with three of his friends from Kalyan.
