The ISIS on Friday published a photo of Abu Khalid al-Hindi who was part of the four-member team that attacked a Sikh Gurdwara in Kabul. Top sources said that Abu Khalid al-Hindi was Mohammed Sajid Kuthirulmmal, a shopkeeper from Padne area of Kasargod in Kerala who was wanted in a 2016 NIA case and had an Interpol red notice against him.
The case refers to a parent from Kasaragod, Kerala who lodged a police complaint in July 2016, stating that his 30-year-old son Abdul Rashid was missing along with his wife Ayisha (Sonia Sebastian) and child, for almost two months after they had gone to Mumbai.

The mobile communication between the absconders with their relatives recovered during the investigation authenticated that Sajid was staying at the same place as another ISIS recruit who had escaped from Kerala and had joined the terror group along with Abdul Rashid.
