Kasaragod, Jul 14: Even as reports are emerging on the missing families from Kasaragod and Palakkad migrating to northern Syria, investigations by various Intelligence agencies have not obtained any solid lead to validate the theory.

facebook“We are yet to come across any movement of families between Kerala and Syria for preaching Islamic orthodoxy,'' said a top intelligence officer. A Facebook page Olivin Charathu,' reported to have been opened by the missing persons, has been under active surveillance of the Intelligence agencies.

Interestingly, the Facebook page has openly declared its stance against Islamic State (IS) terror group. “In fact, we are not sure whether it is the same person who opened this page or somebody else,'' the official said.

Meanwhile, the investigators received more complaints about individuals missing from their families under suspicious circumstances. The sleuths launched a probe into the missing of a young woman from Andipillykkavu near North Paravur.

The woman, who had been married off to Varappuzha about six months ago, had left her family later and embraced Islam. As part of the investigation, sleuths met the woman's parents and her former husband to collect their statements.

Official sources said the State police had originally began collecting details about missing persons in Kerala from January this year, based on a warning on youths from Kerala being recruited to terror groups.

NIA deciphering WhatsApp messages

Meanwhile, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs in New Delhi held a meeting on Tuesday to take stock of the situation in the wake of rumours over IS recruitments in Kerala.

The meeting, chaired by Intelligence Bureau Director Dineshwar Sharma, also saw Intelligence chiefs from other States sharing information reportedly relating to modules in the country with suspected IS links.

Kerala's Additional Director General of Police (Intelligence) R. Sreelekha , who attended the one-day session, shared intelligence inputs from the State in this regard, the sources said.

According to sources, Central intelligence agencies have now begun deciphering the Telegram and WhatsApp messages received or are still being received by relatives from the missing youths.

Sources said that the Central agencies are now examining whether the disappearance of 22 persons, mainly from Kasaragod and Palakkad districts, was similar to other cases involving IS handlers in identification, radicalisation, recruitment, training and finally transferring Indian youths to countries such as Syria, Libya and Iraq.

New Delhi, Apr 29: WhatsApp on Tuesday said it will now allow up to eight people to connect on a group video call as an increasing number of people turn to digital platforms to connect with friends and family amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Facebook-owned company said over the last month, people on average are spending over 15 billion minutes talking each day on WhatsApp calls, well above a typical day before the pandemic.

"...we see that people all over the world are turning to voice and video calling on WhatsApp more than ever before. Group calling has been particularly useful and our users have asked to connect with more people at once," WhatsApp said in a blogpost.

Starting Tuesday, the company is doubling the number of participants one can have on a WhatsApp video or voice call from 4 to 8 people at a time, it added.

WhatsApp emphasised that like written messages, all calls on its platform are protected with end-to-end encryption.

"We have built group calling in a way that makes it available for as many users as possible, including people on lower-end devices and slow network conditions," it added.

WhatsApp said that to access the new, higher participant limit on WhatsApp calls, all participants in a call need to update to the latest version of WhatsApp available on iPhone or Android.

Video calling tools like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Zoom and others have also seen a significant jump in userbase and traffic as people connect while maintaining social distancing amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Last week, Facebook had introduced Messenger Rooms that will soon hold up to 50 people with no time limit.

It had added that the company will also add ways to create rooms from Instagram Direct, WhatsApp and Portal.

Noting that between WhatsApp and Messenger, more than 700 million accounts participate in calls every day, Facebook had said, adding that video calling on Messenger and WhatsApp more than doubled in many countries.

Also, views of Facebook Live and Instagram Live videos have also increased significantly in March, it said.
