In
what has alarmed Indian intelligence and security agencies, the first
Indian woman operative of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has
been deported from Dubai.
Top government sources said that the woman operative of ISIS identified as Afsha Jabeen, who also has an alias Nicole Joseph, is an online recruiter for the Islamic State.
Jabeen was deported from Dubai with the help of intelligence agencies on Thursday night along with her husband - identified as Devender Batra alias Mustafa and three daughters.
The agencies managed to track her after one Salman Moinuddin, caught from Hyderabad Airport in January this year while he was trying to go to Dubai and then to Syria to join and fight for ISIS.
Sources say that Salman was motivated by Jabeen to join the outfit, which has captured most of the areas of Iraq and Syria since it came into prominence last year.
Jabeen is being intensively questioned by intelligence agencies to know more about the recruits she has motivated from different parts of India and her association with the outfit.
She was presently residing in Dubai but as soon as Indian agencies managed to find evidence against her and enough details about her involved, the UAE officials were contacted and her deportation was initiated.
The recent association with UAE, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the country last month, has led to deportation of people of Indian origin trying to join the Islamic State. Two persons, who had joined ISIS, were deported last month to Kerala.
