Hyderabad, May 5 (IBNS) An engineering student from Hyderabad, who had gone to join the Islamic State, has died in the fighting in Syria.

Haneef Waseem, 25, had fled to Syria from London, where he had gone in November 2014 for studies.

He died on March 15, NDTV quoted intelligence sources as saying.

He hailed from Mancherial in Adilabad district of Andhra Pradesh.

Waseem was influenced by the Islamic State while studying for a master's degree in engineering in London.

He had visited home for the last time in February to attend his sister's wedding.

Police have also reason to believe that Waseem took another young man from Karimnagar with him. A search is on for him.
