Indian police said on Sunday they raided the houses of three suspects in connection with a case concerning 15 people who left India to join the Daesh group, a week after bombings in Sri Lanka that killed more than 250.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said it carried out searches at the three houses in the southern state of Kerala, located near the tip of the Indian peninsula.
The coordinated suicide bombings by militants at hotels and churches in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday sent shockwaves through the Indian Ocean island state that had enjoyed relative peace since a civil war ended a decade ago.
"These persons are suspected to have links with some of the accused persons in the said case who had exited India to join the proscribed terrorist organisation Daesh," the NIA said in a statement.
The investigators recovered mobile phones, SIM cards, digital storage devices including CDs and DVDs of a preacher Zakir Naik and diaries with notes handwritten in Malayalam and Arabic, the NIA said.
Current and former state police officials told Reuters terrorism hardly posed a threat in the state, which they said had a history of peaceful co-existence between the majority Hindu community and religious minorities.
