Who is Salman and how he is linked with IS?
Nicky is a graduate of Shadan College, Hyderabad, who allegedly took an interest in IS activities and started recruiting people for the group.
Reportedly, Salman met Nicky on Facebook in the last June, while he was living in the US. “They created various social networking groups under fake names and started propaganda and attracting people who were interested in the IS,” an official said.
Following a tip-off from US intelligence agencies, the officials here had arrested Salman. The US intelligence agencies had been monitoring Salman since he left the US for India in last October, after he was denied for the extension of Visa.
