DHANBAD: Two people were detained for questioning in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district after they were found wearing T-shirts that had 'ISIS Pakistan' written over it. ISIS, now known as Islamic State is the hardline Sunni Muslim group that has gained control over large parts of Iraq and Syria.
The men, reportedly in their 20s, were spotted wearing the T-shirts at a procession during Muharram. Police took the trio into custody after their photos were published in the media.
A man who painted the logo and the Pakistani flag on the T-shirts was also questioned, Superintendent of Police Hemant Toppo said, adding there were no terror links found during the interrogation.
No FIR has been filed so far, he said.
In August, two young men were arrested in Ramanthapuram district of Tamil Nadu after a photograph of a group of people posing in T-shirts with the emblem of ISIS went viral on social media.
But friends of the duo insisted they had no links with the ISIS. They claimed that the T-shirts were ordered only to celebrate the safe release of 46 Indian nurses held by the militant group in the conflict zone in Iraq in July.
A former Google employee in Hyderabad was questioned last month by the police who suspect he was trying to travel to Saudi Arabia and eventually join the Islamic State. Police alleged that they found his conversations on social media "suspect" and he may have been influenced by online propaganda.
