QURESHI, AIDE GRILLED IN KOCHI

Arshi Qureshi and his aide Rizwan Khan who were arrested by a joint team of Kerala police and the Maharashtra’s Anti Terror Squad from Mumbai recently, were brought to Kochi on Sunday in order to collect evidence in the case of forceful religious conversion.

The duo who are suspected to have ISIS links, were flown in to the Nedumbassery airport in a special chartered aircraft under tight security by 12.30 noon and taken to the Kalamassery AR camp.

Though they were expected to be taken to an Islamic study centre in Vytilla, the cops questioned them at the camp, sources said. The probe so far revealed that Qureshi had converted many, a majority from Mumbai, and the rest from Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
