21 May 2015 12:39 AM GMT
The National Investigation Agency on Wednesday told a court here that the arrested ISIS `recruit' Arif Majeed wanted to "sneak" back into India after he got injured while fighting in Iraq but was nabbed on arrival in Mumbai.
NIA said this in its 8,000-page <g data-gr-id="18">chargesheet</g> running into seven volumes filed against the 23-year-old Majeed, who hails from neighbouring Kalyan township, in the court of special NIA judge Y D Shinde here.
"Between August and October 2014 he sustained injuries three times, twice bullet injuries and once by <g data-gr-id="13">American</g> strike," reads the <g data-gr-id="14">chargesheet</g>. At this point he decided to return to India, it says.
In November 2014, he approached the Indian embassy in Turkey, saying he had lost his passport. The embassy issued him an `emergency certificate'. "He tried to sneak into India and boarded a Turkish Airlines flight, but was arrested (on landing) in Mumbai," the NIA has said.
