During interrogation, Yasmin revealed that she had recruited 22 people into ISIS including three children and six women. She further shared that the people, who were recruited from Kerala were sent to Kuwait, Dubai, Muscat and Abu Dhabi from Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Mumbai airports.

On 30th July, Yasmin was arrested at the New Delhi International Airport while trying to escape to Kabul. The NIA Court in Kochi gave her seven years of rigorous imprisonment to her along with Rs 25,000 fine.

NIA Judge S Santhosh Kumar said, “Considering the nature and circumstances of the case, the court doesn’t find any reason to invoke the Probation of Offenders Act.
