Pune, Apr 6 (IBNS) A suspected ISIS recruit was detained at the Pune airport on Tuesday when he was about to fly for Dubai on way to Syria, reports said.

Officials identified the suspect as Raoof Ahmed, a resident of Bhatkal in north Karnataka.

Security agencies became alert after his name cropped up during internet chats with members of ISIS, which is being monitored to look for possible followers of the terror group. 

 
Police said  Ahmed was detained as the Union Home Ministry had issued a Look Out Circular against him sometime back.

At least 14 prospective ISIS recruits-all young people-  have been arrested this year by the National Investigation Agency.
