KOCHI: Bindu Sampath, the mother of BDS student Nimisha who is believed to have defected to the Islamic State in Afghanistan with her child, approached the Kerala High Court on Wednesday seeking a directive to the Centre for taking steps to repatriate Nimisha and the child to India. Bindu said Nimisha, who became Fathima after conversion, is in the IS camp in Afghanistan.
The camp’s detenus may be used as human bombs, Bindu said while also seeking a directive to the Centre for prevailing upon the Afghanistan Government to find out the whereabouts of her daughter and granddaughter Ummakolusu.
Bindu said she met the Union Home Minister and requested steps be taken to get her daughter and granddaughter back. She also submitted a representation to the Prime Minister but no action has been taken. “My daughter was forcibly converted, trapped, misled and taken to Afghanistan against her will. They are eager to return home. I got a message they are in Afghanistan. The life of my daughter and granddaughter is in danger,” Bindu said in her petition.
