Three students from Hyderabad were arrested after they attempted to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State – ISIS.
The three were arrested at Nagpur’s Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport as they were boarding a flight to Kashmir. According to a report in India Today, the trio were attempting to sneak into Afghanistan, and then set off on the journey.
They had left Hyderabad and travelled to Nagpur by road. Since their families had filed missing reports, a joint initiative by Telangana and Maharashtra police resulted in the three students arrested while they were attempting to board the flight.
This is not the first time that youngsters in India are attempting to join the ISIS. Earlier, a 16 year old girl from Pune had also been brainwashed into joining the ISIS and was attempting to leave to work for ISIS.
