He quickly moved up the ranks of IS and started encouraging other young Australians to join the terrorist group.
Overnight it was reported Prakash along with Shadi Jabar Khalil Mohammad were killed in the US air strike on the Syrian city of Al Bab on April 22.
Shadi is the sister of 15-year-old Farhad Jabar, the teenager who shot dead Parramatta police employee Curtis Cheng late last year.
