Five members of Mumbai businessman's family join IS?
According to The Times of India, a 26-year-old Ashfaque Ahmed has left the country along with his wife, infant daughter and two cousins.
"This is shocking. Four members of an extended family were inclined to join the banned outfit. We are questioning preacher Mohammed Haneef, now in crime branch custody, about his role in instigating Ashfaque and others to join IS," a crime branch officer told TOI.
According to the report, Ashfaque's youngest brother received a message on his mobile, which read that he had joined the IS and did not want to come back.
"Take care of mother and father," the message reportedly read.
Ashfaque's two cousin brothers-Mohammed Siraj and Ejaz Rehman-who have gone along with him, are a businessman and a medical practitioner respectively.
