‘Promised Financial Support’; ‘Approached on Social Media’: How ISIS is Radicalising Youth in South
Published By admin with Comments 0
“I wanted to join the ISIS… I was promised unconditional financial support. I wanted to leave India. I feared the arrest for keeping contacts with those who worked for the ISIS,” confesses a 38-year-old man, based in Chennai, as he testifies to News18 detailing his past association with the terror outfit.
Initially, charged under the UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in 2017, and later turned approver, the man, who at present works with a leading IT firm, was charged with terror financing and recruiting Indians for the ISIS (Islamic States of Iraq and Syria).
He was booked with seven others over the allegations of hatching a conspiracy to launch terror attacks at the behest of ISIS.
