Warning signs of the dreaded ISIS inching into India


The ISIS is creating mayhem in the Arab world and all the powers are up in arms against their threats because the threats are no idle ones – the result is summarily beheading and they have done that to a number of American and British nationals just to get their message of ruthlessness across.
It is now believed that the ISIS is inching into India and that is certainly a matter of concern because a youth wearing an Islamic State (IS) T-shirt was spotted in Dhanbad, months after the terror group's flags were seen flying in Srinagar. He was arrested by the Jharkhand Police in Dhanbad's Jharia area - the T-shirt he wore had the words 'ISIS' and 'Pakistan' written on the front along with the Pakistan flag printed on it.
The police have also arrested two other people who had printed the shirt.
Incidentally, a security alert had earlier been sounded in Jammu and Kashmir after the presence of the terror group's flags were detected in the state capital on the occasion of Eid celebrations – men wearing masks had been seen carrying the IS flag. Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has denied the allegations of presence of IS in the state and has indicated that there was no reason to believe that the terror outfit has any presence in the Valley just because some youths waved IS flags in the state.
The incidents in J & K and Dhanbad cannot be treated lightly since, earlier, there have been reports of Indians going to Syria to join up with the ISIS. As far back as in July-2014, two youths from Thane (near Mumbai) had apparently left for Iraq to fight along ISIS about a year ago. These boys were part of the 18 Indians who are believed to be fighting in Iraq and Syria and were being tracked by intelligence agencies. It seems most of these 18 hail from south India.
