The Delhi High Court has denied the bail to
an alleged IM member-Fasih Mahmood, who was deported from Saudi
Arabia in 2012, in a case of establishing an alleged illegal
arms factory in India. Considering the gravity of an offence
and serious allegations against Fasih, there was no room to
grant bail to him, noted Justice S.P. Garg. "Since the bail
has already been declined on merits and there is no substantial
change in the circumstances presented, this court finds no valid
reasons to grant bail to the Fasih Mahmood, allegedly being
member of an unlawful organisation i.e. IM, in India charged
for commission of offences punishable under Section 20 of the
UA(P) Act. Hence, the bail application is dismissed, read the

by AQIS spokesperson Usama Mahmoud, a Pakistani, asking Kashmiri
'fighters' and Muslims across the subcontinent to target the

(IS) is now running "terror classes" in the country. 40 young
men and women have already been indoctrinated there by fugitive
IS recruiter Abdul Rashid, who persuaded Mumbai graduate Ashfaq
Abdul Majid to join the group, which controls swathes of territory
in Iraq and Syria. Ashfaq is believed to have left India on
June 2, 2016. The information provided by Yasmin, has deepened
counter-terror agencies' worries as it confirms the growing

The Special Cell of Delhi Police busted an organised
syndicate pumping FICNs into capital New Delhi. FICNs worth
INR 300,000 have been seized and two syndicate members were
arrested. The arrestees were identified as Neetu alias Radha
(34) from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh; and Salim Sheikh (23) from
Malda, West Bengal. "Sheikh was a carrier for a supplier named
Nasiruddin. Neetu received the consignments and supplied it
locally. Neetu said shopkeepers readily accept such notes due
to being almost identical to real currency. She's been doing
it for a year now," said DCP (Special Cell) Sanjeev Yadav. Both
the arrested individuals said every new security feature introduced
in currency notes is copied, and most of the fake currency exchange
takes place through the Nepal border. "Fake currency is being
pumped into India to cripple the country's economy. Malda has
become the epicentre of narcotics and counterfeit currency rackets
due to its strategic location close to the international border.
The name of Pakistan-based Iqbal Kana pops up in every fake
currency racket," the DCP said.
According to the report, these notes had been
smuggled into India from Pakistan via Bangladesh and Police
seized three cellphone handsets with SIM cards. Cops suspect
the proceeds of fake currency sales contribute to the proliferation
of sophisticated weapons in the country through Bangladesh.
They also suspect that these are used to fund terror outfits
as well.

The NIA has initiated a probe into the seizure

Industrial Area. The agency, according to the Delhi Police,
suspects that those involved in the racket could be linked to
groups based out of India. "Almost all the previous seizures,
which have mainly been of FICN, had currency pumped in from
abroad. We believe that the Rs. 40,000 we seized is just the
tip of the iceberg. The scale of production could be way higher,"
said Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer) Pankaj
Singh. He added that since the seized coins with denominations
of Rs. 5 and Rs. 10 were identical to the real ones, they would
approach the RBI asking them for security features for coins.

Pakistan's external intelligence agency ISI
has purportedly asked cadres of JeM to go to any extent to carry
out 'revenge strikes' in India post Indian Army's surgical strikes
inside PoK on September 28, 2016. Maulana Masood Azhar, 'chief'
of the JeM, is thinking about attacking Indian Parliament, again,
the report said. Chatter picked by the agencies suggests that
if the fidayeen (suicide attackers) fail to target Parliament,
they should attempt to attack the Delhi Secretariat. Also on
the target list are Akshardham and the Lotus Temple, documents
with the intelligence agencies suggest. According to Jaish aakas
(handlers), the operatives should launch their attacks in crowded
places, such as markets, only if they fail to target places
of prominence. This intelligence has been communicated to field
officers and attempts are being made to foil any such attempt.
The threat to the capital is from both factions of JeM - one
led by Masood Azhar and a splinter group named Jaishul-Haq Tanzeem
that is headed by Maulana Abdur Rehman (code name MAR), who
had broken off from the main body several years ago. MAR had
played a key role in the hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight

After arresting over 50 suspects for conspiring
to set-up terror modules inspired by the Islamic State (IS)
or for providing material support to the militant group, the
NIA has identified another 130 radicalised individuals, believed
to be in contact with the accused. This watch list is a "preemptive

The individuals on the watch list have not
participated in any incriminating activities till now. They
are, however, active on the social media and have made efforts
on ground to gather support for IS, officials said. "They've
tried to gather support for IS online and offline and enroll
other members. They themselves, however, have refrained from
joining any module,'' they added. The decision to put these
individuals under surveillance was taken recently, after a few
names cropped up frequently during interrogations. Consequently,
the NIA wrote to police authorities in nine states - Delhi,
Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu,
West Bengal, Jharkhand and Haryana - asking them to monitor

October
19: Delhi could escape a major terror attack in 2009 when one of
the LeT terrorists from Rawalpindi in Pakistan, who tried to come
in through the legal channel, was denied an Indian visa. The terrorist
was supposed to be in Delhi to carry out an attack on the National
Defence College (NDC) at Tees January Marg a target recommended
by Pakistani-American LeT operative David Coleman Headley to his
bosses on the basis that a strike on the institution would have
killed more Indian Army officers than those who died in all Indo-Pak
wars put together. The NIA interrogation report quoted Headley as
saying about the LeT's Delhi mission, "Abdur Rehman (Lashkar operative)
told me that a man from Rawalpindi was ready to carry out the attack
(in Delhi) but he had trouble to get visa for India." Referring
to Rehman, Headley explained that the Rawalpindi man's visa application
was turned down because "he had a long beard". "Abdur Rehman told
him to shave his beard and he had reapplied for visa," the report
said quoting Headley. During his interrogation, Headley, also disclosed
Rehman's network in Nepal, which was activated to help the Rawalpindi
man once he would reach Delhi for his mission. It appears from the
interrogation report that the LeT operatives were more interested
in attacking the NDC than other targets in Delhi. "I gave him (Abdur
Rehman) the reconnaissance videos and we discussed each and every
target in detail. I told Rehman that we could kill more Indian military
officers in an attack on NDC than had been killed in all the wars
between India and Pakistan," Headley told his interrogators, adding
Rehman seemed to be more interested in attacking NDC. That Delhi
was perilously close to being attacked by the LeT, figures in the
disclosures Headley made to the National Investigation Agency's
(NIA) interrogators, who questioned him in Chicago in June 2010.
In his statement to the NIA, Headley essentially repeated what he
had earlier told the US's Federal Bureau of Investigation. As reported
earlier, Headley had recceed several targets in Delhi the Sena Bhawan,
