A 26-year-old businessman from Mumbai has reportedly travelled to Syria with his wife, infant daughter and cousins to join the Islamic State even as the NIA continues to tighten the noose around ISIS suspects in the country.

According to a report, Ashfaque Ahmed, a Mumbai based businessman sent a message to his younger brother towards the last week of June informing him that he had travelled to ISIS territory and did not wish to return. "Take care of mother and father," his message reportedly read.

His cousins 22-year-old Mohammed Siraj who is a businessman, and 30-year-old Ejaz Rehman, a medical practitioner, also accompanied Ashfaque.

Blaming a Kerala based school teacher Mohammad Hanif for radicalising his son, Ashafque’s father Abdul Majeed filed an FIR on August 6.

Majeed, who owns several guest houses, stated in his FIR that Ashfaque, who belongs to the Barveli sect, was drawn towards the Ahl-e-Hadees sect of Islam, and converted in 2014. He married later the same year, but informed his family only after the wedding was over.
