“Sensing that he was in the wrong place, his (Tabrez’s) brother asked him to return to India but he rejected the plea and said you (family members) come here as life is cushy,” an ATS official said yesterday.
Tabrez was in contact with his wife, brother and mother and told the family about his activities for the banned Islamic State.
ATS feels Tabrez, who completed his post graduation in cargo management and transportation and got married three years ago, has actively participated in ISIS operations.
He visited some countries in the last five years for jobs, the official had said adding it was Ali who prompted Tabrez to join ISIS.
Both knew each other as they worked together at Riyadh in Saudi Arabia a year ago, he said.
“We are collecting information about Ali. We are not sure whether Ali is Indian or not. As per our information, he has visited India before,” Mumbai ATS chief Atulchandra Kulkarni told PTI.
ATS has already registered offences against Tabrez under various sections of Unlawful Activities Prevention UAPA.
