The police in Jammu and Kashmir and Telangana is investigating claims by three arrested youths from Hyderabad that they were planning to meet separatist leader Asiya Andrabi to join jihadi terror groups, even as she dismissed as “fabricated” allegations that she had any links with the Islamic State. “We are in touch with the Telangana police. All the agencies are investigating. It is a serious case so we are on the job,” Jammu and Kashmir deputy chief minister Nirmal Singh told reporters in Jammu.
Mr Singh was asked about claims by the three youths who were arrested on December 27 following their detention by the police last week from Nagpur airport before they were to leave for Srinagar to meet Ms Andrabi, chief of radical outfit Dukhtaran-e- Millat.
Telangana DGP Anurag Sharma said they were also investigating “reports” claiming Ms Andrabi had visited Telangana earlier.
“It is learnt that she may have visited, but there is no confirmation (on it) as such. We are trying to investigate on that part,” Mr Sharma said.
