Security agencies remain particularly cautious as Hyderabad has, in the past, surfaced in several national-level investigations linked to terror activities. Although incidents of large-scale violence have reduced in recent years, concerns persist as the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and police units from other states continue to trace terror links to individuals from the city.

In a recent development, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) arrested three individuals with alleged terror connections, one of whom has been identified as Dr. Ahmed Mohiuddin Sayyed, a resident of Rajendranagar in Hyderabad.

Authorities in Hyderabad are now coordinating with central intelligence agencies to assess any possible local connections and prevent further threats. Police officials reiterated that stringent security measures will continue until the situation stabilizes.
