Indian doctor recalls his Islamic State ordeal

Dr Kosanam said he was taught about Islam and how to pray.

It was an ordeal he will never forget. Dr Ramamurthy Kosanam, who was freed from IS captivity, said the Islamic State is looking to take over India. Kosanam after being freed from IS captivity reached India on Saturday.

"I was subject to mental torture and forced to watch videos", he said. The Islamic State operatives were impressed with India. They had a lot of interest in India, he added.

"One day the IS operatives came to my room and told me to go with them. There was another Indian and they lodged us in a jail at Sirte in Syria," Kosanam said.

"We were taught about Islam and how to pray five times a day. This went on for two months, he also said. I was not harmed by them because they want qualified persons. They took me to an operation theatre but did not force me to perform any surgery", the doctor also said.
