Indian man hailing from the communally sensitive region of Bhatkal, Karnataka, was arrested by Dubai police for allegedly indulging in activities benefiting dreaded terror outfit Islamic State (ISIS). The accused has been identified as Adnan Hasan Damudi. He was tracked by the Indian intelligence for the past one year.
Damudi participated in all forms of online activities of ISIS including recruiting, spreading propaganda material on social media and interacting with like-minded fundamentalists.
The alleged ISIS recruiter is last said to be employed by Dubai World Trade Centre where he worked as an assistant delivery coordinator. The Dubai police apprehended him two months back based on inputs received from Indian intelligence.
The Twitter account which is supposedly linked to Damudi is @AdnanDamudi. However, it is seen as non-operational since the past few months.
Damudi came under the radar of Indian intelligence in late 2014, when early probe indicated that 4 youths from Hyderabad were in his contact through social media. Damodi was persuading them to join ISIS.
Apart from the 4 Muslim youth, Telangana Police claims that he attempted to recruit Muslims across the nation.
In September, Dubai deported five radicalized Indians back to New Delhi after identifying them as ISIS sympathizers, including Hyderabad-origin woman Afsha Jabeen who was leading the recruitment drive.
