Nearly two dozen Indian nationals wanted by India in cases of terrorism may be living in Afghanistan close to the Pakistan border, according to information from intelligence and investigative agencies.
Sources said these Indians were captured and jailed by Afghan forces.
However, with the Taliban freeing thousands of jailed inmates, many Indians are also believed to have been freed and rejoined terror groups, including the Islamic State of Khorasan Province (IS-K).
Security agencies are keeping a watch on these 25 Indian nationals, most of whom hail from Kerala, because the terror network they joined, IS-K, is believed to be responsible behind the Kabul airport suicide bombings last week.
