Gufran Mohiuddin from Warangal and Hamid-ur-Rahman from First Lancer, Hyderabad, had travelled to Turkey and were trying to enter Syria when they were arrested.
While Hamid had gone to the US, Gufran was working in Saudi Arabia. Hamid had called his family from Jizan in Saudi Arabia to inform them that he would like to join the ISIS. They had completed their engineering from a famous college in 2012. Their friend said they got radicalised by watching videos online.
