A small part of Hyderabad’s historical Charminar’s minaret fell down on Wednesday night. This historical structure, which is more than 400 years old, and is made of limestone was being renovated by the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) over the last few months.

The portion came crashing down when repair work was underway on the 16th-century monument.

The National Investigation Agency has found an evidence proving a connection between the five Hyderabad youths it arrested on June 29 and the Islamic State (IS).

The Islamic State (IS) suspects, arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday, had planned to strike Hyderabad between 5 pm to 7 pm in a bid to maximum damage.

The arrested ISIS 'sympathisers' had contributed Rs 1.5 lakh to carry out terror attacks in Hyderabad.

Five youths were arrested and six others including a techie were detained by NIA which claimed to have busted a 'terror module' that is suspected to be linked to the Islamic State group after conducting searches at different locations in Hyderabad.

In a bizarre case, a voter in the Hyderabad civic polls turned up with an officially issued identity card carrying the name and picture of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan.
