Hyderabad: The Central security agencies have reportedly picked up two persons including one from Hyderabad on Tuesday for their alleged links with Islamic State terror group. The suspects were also part of ‘Janood-ul-Khalifa-e-Hind’ (Army of Caliph of India), the Indian wing of ISIS, formed by Indians to carry out strikes in India at important installations.
It is reported that the agencies have picked one youth from Hyderabad and another from Maharashtra for being part of JuKH. In the last week, the agencies arrested 14 persons in pan India raids including four persons from Hyderabad.
