Fathima Nimisha who went missing with her husband Eeza were believed to have joined ISIS

Bindu said she could identify Nimisha’s husband and daughter from the picture that was shared by an agency after they were rounded up by the Afghan forces

Nimisha, who reportedly had migrated to a territory controlled by the Islamic State militants, is suspected to be among those who surrendered before the Afghan security forces in Nangarhar recently.

Nimisha’s mother Bindu Sampath said her daughter is among those who surrendered. 

Bindu said she could identify Nimisha’s husband and daughter from the picture that was shared by an agency after they were rounded up by the Afghan forces. 

Nimisha, who had converted to Islam and took the name Fathima, left the country with her husband Bexen Vincent in 2016 to an unknown location, which the intelligence agencies strongly suspect was an IS-controlled pocket in Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, state police chief Loknath Behera said there has been no confirmation from any agency about the identity of the people who had turned themselves in before the security agencies in Afghanistan.

“We’ve no official information regarding their identity. Unofficial reports are coming, but they can’t be considered as fact until the agencies inform us officially,” he said.
