An Islamic State (IS) sympathiser, deported by Saudi Arabian authorities last April, married a medical student from Uttar Pradesh over a mobile phone in 2016, his interrogation report has revealed. The wedding over mobile was conducted with “proper Islamic rituals” though the two had never met, Amzad Khan, 37, told the National Investigation Agency (NIA). He asked her to travel to Saudi Arabia to live with him. In 2005, Khan travelled to UAE and worked at his uncle’s company from where he moved to Saudi Arabia in 2014. Matters worsened when the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia and other Islamic preachers issued fatwas against IS.
