26-year-old Ashfaque Ahmed, his wife, infant daughter and cousins Mohammed Siraj and Ejaz Rehman had left India in June 2016 to join the Islamic State.

Ashfaque Ahmed's cousin Mohammed Siraj is 22 and a businessman by profession while the other cousin Ejaz Rehman is 30 and a medical practitioner by profession.

"I've had migrated to IS territory"

Reportedly, Ashfaque's youngest brother had received a message in June.

"I've had migrated to IS territory and did not want to come back; 'take care of mother and father," read the message sent by Ashfaque to his brother on mobile.
