He was an engineering graduate aged 27-years from Hyderabad from where he completed his engineering degree four years back. Later, he moved out to London where he completed his master’s course and, then, in February this year, he left for Syria from London.
As per reports in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 5 May 2015, he seems to have joined the Islamic State in Syria where he died.
