Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], Mar 18 : Bindhu Sampath, the mother of Nimisha alias Fathima who travelled from Kerala to Afghstan to join the Islamic State (IS), has sought the Central government's help to bring her daughter back to India.

"I saw a video of my daughter in which she was requesting her return to India. She has realised that India is her country, not Afghstan. She is scared that she'll be put in jail over there. Responding to my mail, the Afghstan government has said that the procedure will take time," said Bindhu Sampath.

"I believe in Indian laws. Let her be questioned and realise what is good or bad. I am waiting for the Central government's confirmation on the matter," added Sampath.

Around four years back, a team of 21 members which consisted of couples and children went to Syria from Kerala to join ISIS and lead an Islamic life. After they left, police registered a case against them, which has been handled by the National Investigation Agency.
