Cops fail to check radicalisation of youth

Hyderabad: The strenuous efforts by the Telangana State police to check radicalisation of youth under the influence of Islamic State (IS) do not seem to have yielded desired results.
Detentions and arrests of IS sympathisers from Hyderabad and across Telangana, started when the Intelligence officials got a tip-off on radicalisation of a woman medical student under the influence of the IS through social media.
According to sources, arrests of Indian IS recruiters, identified as Afsha Jabeen, Salman Mohiuddin and detention of several youngsters from Hyderabad, was also based on the information retrieved from the medico’s accounts.
Sources said the arrests of IS sympathisers followed tip-off from a 50-year-old man from Mehdipatnam. The man, who had approached the Counter Intelligence officials of Telangana revealed about his highly radicalised daughter and her online activities.
Salman Mohiuddin (31), engineering graduate from Hyderabad, was detained by the police in January this year, when he was about to leave to Dubai to go to Syria via Turkey. Afsha Jabeen (37), the IS recruiter of India, was arrested at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport when she arrived at Shamshabad along with her family.
The girl in her early twenties, pursuing MBBS in a private college in city, was highly influenced and trapped by the IS recruiters through social media. Her father became suspicious when the studious girl started using her computer at home frequently. He was shocked to see his daughter becoming radically active on social media, sharing and commenting aggressively on sensitive issues and informed the police.
The Intelligence officials verified her social media accounts including mails. “A bunch of mails and several conversation history records were identified in her accounts. She was in regular contact with 60 persons, mostly youngsters. 25 of them hail from Hyderabad, while others are spread across the state,” the sources said.
With the information retrieved from the medico’s accounts, the police tracked the IS sympathisers, the sources said adding “Detention of the medico led to the arrests of Indian IS recruiters, Salman Mohiuddin (31), Afsha Jabeen (37) and also
identification of youngsters recruited by IS.”
