Singapore:
Singapore authorities have deported an Indian-origin man for radicalising and helping a compatriot with going to strife-torn Syria and have launched a probe into his journey "with the intention to undertake violence" in Singapore.
The Ministry of Home Affairs has investigated and deported a Singaporean of Indian-origin, Gul Mohamed Maracachi Maraicar, for radicalising Haja Fakkurudeen Usman Ali (37) and helping him in his plans to go to Syria.
Gul, 37, a Singapore permanent resident, worked as a system analyst.
Ali, who worked as a supermarket manager and took Singapore's citizenship in 2008, allegedly left the country last November to fight against the forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the Ministry said yesterday.
Officials were informed of his trip by a citizen, once he left Singapore.
The ministry, however, refused to comment on the time of investigation and deportation of Gul, a report in The Sunday Times said today.
