A week after the Supreme Court freed Hadiya, the Kerala woman at the centre of alleged 'love jihad' case from her parents custody, an NIA report has said that her husband was in touch with the ISIS before their marriage.

According to a report by the Times of India, the National Investigation Agency's probe said that Shafin Jahan, Hadiya's husband, was in touch with Manseed and P Safvan from ISIS via Facebook.

The men are key accused in the Omar-al-Hindi case. The NIA said that the Facebook group was involved in activities of the Popular Front of India's political arm SDPI.

The probe agency said that it was Manseed and his associate Muneer who brought Shafin and Hadiya together. The finding is contrary to what has been claimed by both Hadiya and her husband that they came together via the matrimonial website 'waytonikah.com'.

Last week on November 27, the Supreme Court had freed Hadiya from her parents' custody and directed her to continue her education in a Coimtore college.

Earlier on October 3, during a hearing, the Supreme Court had questioned about role of a father in his adult daughter's life. The top court, in fact, had questioned how the Kerala High Court annulled the marriage of Hadiya and Shafeen Jahan under Article 226.

Shafin Jahan married Akhila Ashokan in December last year after she converted to Islam and rechristened herself as Hadiya.

Her father moved the Kerala High Court and claimed his daughter was indoctrinated and forcibly converted. He, in fact, said that his daughter would be be sent to Afghanistan or Syria.

The High Court annulled the marriage. But Jahan approached the Supreme Court against the annulment.

Earlier in August, the NIA began investigation into the case following the top court's orders.

In compliance with the orders of the apex court, the case was re-registered by the NIA and an investigation was taken up.

The Kerala Government had said that if the apex court wants an NIA probe, it has no objections. However, later ina u-turn, the state government said that the policer probe is sufficient and that there's no requirement of an NIA probe.
