Then came the great purge of Turkish institutions that functioned according to the principle of Hizmet (service), an idea followed by the Gulenists. According to the Indian Embassy sources in Ankara, Dr. Khan and Dr. Alam providentially escaped being arrested in the aftermath of the coup. Fortunately for Dr. Alam, he was in Germany when the attempted coup took place. In fact Dr. Khan and Dr. Alam were part of a team of three Indian academics, who taught at the Gulen institutional network in Turkey. Dr. Khan’s fiancée was arrested on October 19 and has been imprisoned for allegedly being part of the Gulen network.
