Suspected ISIS sympathiser arrested in Hyderabad

September 11, 2015 06:25 pm | Updated March 28, 2016 07:28 pm IST - HYDERABAD:

Afsha Jabeen alias Nicky Joseph, a friend of Salman Mohiuddin, who was stopped by the Shamshabad police in January earlier this year, from joining the ISIS, was arrested at the Shamshabad airport when she arrived from Dubai on Friday.

She, after influencing Salman to join her in Dubai in order to go to Syria to join the IS, had also opened several facebook accounts with his assistance and tried to lure several youth to join the IS and Jihad using the social media platform. While a case was registered against Salman and produced in the court, the police kept a watch on Jabeen, who also claimed to be a British national Nicky Joseph.

Originally, she hails from Towlichowki and had migrated to Abu Dhabi during her childhood. After completing her Intermediate in Abu Dhabi, she came to Hyderabad and graduated from Shadan College. She married one, Devender or Mustafa. She was taken into custody at the RGI Airport, when she arrived from Dubai. As she is a co-accused in Salman’s case, she is arrested and produced in the court.

Further enquiry is going on.
