The Home Ministry said on Thursday that the five Indians, who were sent back from the UAE recently, did not have any link to the Islamic State.
The men, whose parents are based in the UAE, were sent back for “undesirable activities.”
An official said they were involved in a drunken brawl, following which one went missing.
“The family of the missing person informed the authorities. The police in the UAE traced him, and he boasted of working for the Islamic State.
“However, investigators found no such link, and all of them were sent back,” the official said.
