The reclusive Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) polymer wing marketing manager, Mohd Sirajuddin, who never connected with even his neighbours in the multi-storeyed apartment where he lived in Jaipur, had brainwashed a girl and a woman from India and South America respectively into becoming suicide bombers.

Ongoing police investigations and Sirajuddin's sustained grilling have revealed that he had brainwashed a 16-year-old school girl from Pune and a young woman in Argentina into becoming suicide bombers for the ISIS.
The duo formed seminal part of the 150-odd core group members from across the world who were connected actively with the IOC manager over the online application Telegram.

Both, the Argentine woman who converted from Christianity to Islam a few years ago and the school girl from Pune were in constant touch with Sirajuddin over phone as well. They had been brainwashed to the extent that both of them were readying selves for training abroad to become suicide bombers, who would wreak havoc on selected targets anywhere in the world, state police sources in the know of the investigations confided to dna.

The probe has also revealed that out of the 150 members who formed the core ISIS group on Telegram app, at least six, including Sirajuddin, reside in India.

Besides the Pune girl, two young working professionals hailing from Jammu and Kashmir, a youngster based in national capital Delhi and a youth from South India were among the Indians featuring in the core group.

Sirajuddin, who in the past had spurned an offer by ISIS elements to go to Fiji with other members of his group for some major plans, was offered to travel to Libya along with his close channel members for some big task, sources added.

The IOC marketing manager's grilling has also revealed that he was in constant touch with a United Arab Emirates woman (an office executive in health sector) over phone and used to discuss with her several plans, including fund raising and recruitment. The woman who had honey-trapped Sirajuddin over a popular social media platform has already been grilled by anti-terror agencies after being brought to Hyderabad.

Investigations have also brought to the fore that right from his engineering education days in Suratkal (Karnataka) and Coimbatore he was inclined to extremist ideology, particularly owing to growing US intervention in affairs of Muslim nations and also happenings in Kashmir.

His quizzing has revealed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is among the four global enemies for ISIS members and sympathisers. The other three ISIS adversaries include US president Barack Obama, Israeli premier Benjamin Netantyahu and Iranian supreme leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

The ISIS propagators indoctrinate among their followers on how to conquer three parts of the world, the battleground (including Syria and Iraq and adjoining neighbourhood where they were engaged in bloody battle for supremacy now), the entire west which is now fighting against them and the entire Indian sub-continent, which in the past was ruled by Muslim rulers.
