Toronto, April 12: A Sikh-Canadian woman, suspected to be an ISIS agent, may carry out terror strikes in Delhi along with other associates who are already in the capital, according to a specific intelligence input.
Agencies have the name and passport details of the woman who they suspect is travelling to Delhi.
An alert has been sent to airports, intelligence and investigating agencies tracking activities of terror group ISIS that the 35-year-old woman can carry out strikes along with other ISIS members.
According to the input, the woman’s passport is due to expire in December 2016.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which has arrested 25 recruits and is probing several cases related to ISIS, has also been roped in. Sources said the information regarding the possible entry of the Canadian-Indian woman was shared with Indian intelligence agencies by their counterparts in another country.
Intelligence reports have recently raised fears of Indians living abroad getting attracted to the Sunni jihadi group that has lured hundreds of youth from the West.
Sources say over forty, suspected of having links with the ISIS, have been arrested from across the country. A total of 24 Indians have so far joined the ISIS, out of which six were reportedly killed in different incidents. While two returned, 16 are still reportedly part of the ISIS. Several Indian youth aspiring to be part of the ISIS have been stopped from travelling abroad.
“In the past, Adil Fayaz Wada, an Indian living in Australia, travelled to Syria to be part of jehad. This is the first time though that information has been generated of a Sikh living abroad and suspected of having links with ISIS,” said an intelligence official.
One of the Indians reportedly killed fighting in Syria, Atif Vaseem Mohammed, who was a resident of Hyderabad, also lived in USA for a brief period before returning to India and travelling to Syria. Also, some Indians living in UAE have been identified for their alleged ISIS links.
