Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have killed Aman Tandel, one of the four Maharashtra men who left India in 2014 to join the Islamic State in Syria. Tandel, also known as Abu Umar Al-Hindi, was killed when the SDF attacked the Islamic State's positions west of the Tabaqa Dam near Al-Raqqah.

According to Al-Masdar News, the Islamic State's official media wing paid tribute to Tandel in a Telegram statement, confirming his death during clashes with the SDF on 26 December. “During his brief jihad in Syria, Tandel participated in several clashes with Syrian democratic forces west of Al-Raqqah city,” the statement read.
