The State police are examining a recent video purportedly by a Keralite woman who had allegedly gone to Afghanistan to join the Islamic State in 2015 and now wanted the government to help her return home. Officials said the woman in the video could be Nimisha Fathima, a resident of Thiruvananthapuram, who had gone missing along with her husband Isa alias Bexin Vincent, from Kerala in 2015. The police believe that the couple had converted to Islam, got radicalised and travelled to Afghanistan to join the IS. In the video, the woman appeared seated on a sofa, sporting a headscarf and with a child on her lap. Ms. Sampath told journalists here on Monday that the woman in the video was her daughter.
