ATS finds missing Ratnagiri youth in Patna

Mumbai: The state anti-terrorism squad (ATS) has traced the missing Ratnagiri youth, Muzammil Duduke, 25, from Patna and reunited him with his family. TOI had reported (January 6) how the youth, who was to leave for Qatar, went missing from Mumbai international airport.
“Our teams traced Duduke to Patna, where he was staying in a guest house. He has been handed over to his family in Khed.There is no terror link,” an ATS officer said.
The ATS, which had begun a probe into Duduke’s disappearance, had earlier said there were no “extraordinary circumstances” in the case. “He didn’t want to go back to his job again and was reluctant to take the flight. So he came to the airport and went missing. Our initial probe found that from Mumbai he went to Delhi, Chandigarh, Shimla, Lucknow and then to Patna,” the officer said.
Duduke had left home for the airport alone. The investigation began as the ATS was struggling to trace missing Malwani boys, Mohsin Shaikh and Ayaz Sultan. Ayaz is learnt to have fled the country and reached Iraq to join the Islamic State (IS).
