Update: 2016-01-07 05:34 GMT
Indian Intelligence Agencies suspect three persons of AP and Telangana origin who might belong to NRI Families currently residing in Saudi Arabia and UAE have joined the terrorist organization in 2015. In 2015, The agencies have detained 37 persons in the Telugu states for alleged links with terror groups.

Recently, 27-Year-old Mohammed Haneef Waseem who is a native of Mancherial in Adilabad breathed his last in Syria while fighting for ISIS.

Few weeks ago, Cops have detained a person in Vizag for allegedly passing information to terror outfits and trying to flee to Pakistan. But, He isn't associated with Islamic State.  

Intelligence Agencies say Islamic State has been influencing the youth of not just Hyderabad but also Visakhapatnam, Kurnool and Chittoor. However, The terror organization wasn't successful in motivating a larger section and hence people joining it from Telugu states were minimal.
