If the suspicions of the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) are true, then for the second time, Mumbai men have left the city to join the Islamic State terror outfit. The three suspects went missing in the last two months, each giving a different excuse to mislead their family.

According to the police, the radicalisation and exchange of information took place over the Internet. The families remember them as caring family men, until they were suddenly sucked into a different world on the Web. In a front-page report in this paper, their families said that they could sense the change in them as they got radicalised, but never suspected the youths would go as far as joining the IS.
