Mother of Kerala woman who went to Afghanistan to join ISIS asks govt to bring her back

K Bindu, mother of Nimisha Fathima, has urged the Indian government to bring her daughter back from Afghanistan. Fathima has been imprisoned in Afghanistan since 2019 after she allegedly joined the Islamic State militant group.

K Bindu, a native of Thiruvananthapuram and the mother of Nimisha Fathima, has urged the Indian government to bring her daughter and four-year-old grandchild back from Afghanistan. This comes days after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan and the Ashraf Ghani-led government collapsed. Nimisha Fathima, along with three other women, had left Kerala allegedly to join the Islamic State (IS) militant group a few years ago. All four women were then imprisoned in Afghanistan in 2019.
