Indian Mujahideen (IM) made attempts to spread communal hatred across India, according to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) chargesheet filed against IM 'India operations cheif' Yasin Bhatkal, The Times of India reports on March 7. The charge-sheet said that "investigation has established that in pursuance of the conspiracy, the operatives of IM have been making attempts to foment communal tension in different parts of India". Investigation by NIA found that during the June 2012 conflict in Assam, IM contributed to the flare-up by spreading text messages and online posts falsely claiming atrocities against Muslims. The outfit also spread text messages of hatred against the northeast community in Bangalore (Karnataka) which resulted in several students from the region being attacked. This operation was led by a new head of the outfit suspected to be in Pakistan. The charge-sheet details a chat between Bhatkal and his associate Afeef Mota (in Pakistan) on July 12, 2013 which talks about a certain member of the outfit having participated in spreading fake news about atrocities against Muslims at the hands of northeastern people. The charge-sheet said, "Yasin asked whether their new head had participated in any jihadi operation in India. It was revealed that he had sent SMSs to create panic in northeast region, people staying in Bangalore and other southern states and planned to create violence between groups in India by fake SMSs to avenge the assassination of some Rohingya Muslims."

Addressing the opening day of the Budget session of the Meghalaya Assembly on March 8, Governor K.K. Paul expressed concern about the activities of GNLA in the Garo Hills. According to the Governor, the activities of Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) had seen a decline during the past one year because of the constant pressure mounted by the State Police.

During 2013, as many as 108 militants were arrested and 19 militants had surrendered and large quantities of arms and ammunition were also seized, he said.

The settlement with ANVC has reached the final stages of approval by the Central Government. “The State Government is keen on getting this done before the elections to the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council”, he said.

On March 9, the Border Security Force (BSF) handed over to the Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) a list of 66 terror camps in Bangladesh of militants operating in India’s Northeast, reports The Shillong Times. Camps of Hynniewtrep National liberation Council (HNLC), United National Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB), People's Liberation Army (PLA) and a few other groups were operating in districts like Mymensingh, Maulvibazar and Rangamati. Inspector General (IG) BSF Sudhir Kumar Srivastava said, “The number of these camps has decreased.” Some of the camps had now been shifted towards Myanmar due to pressure from Bangladesh authorities. Reacting to a query on the status of border fencing, Srivastava informed that there were 13 gaps along the fencing which could not be completed due to its riverine nature and other logistical problems. The Bangladesh Government had allowed the construction of single-line fencing along the border. In addition, the BSF in 2013 seized Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth INR 548,000 and seized nearly 500,000 bottles of cough syrup Phensdyl worth INR 30 million and a large quantity of Ganja (marijuana) along the India-Bangladesh border, adds The Sangai Express.

A chargesheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has claimed that Indian Mujahideen (IM) had attempted putting in place a local module on the border of Jodhpur-Nagaur Districts in 2013, reported Hindustan Times on March 10. IM’s cadre Mohammad Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu had visited Jaipur and Jodhpur in June 2013 and had procured SIM cards on fake documents. The NIA chargesheet hinted that IM was planning to expand its base in Rajasthan. “There are vital clues that efforts were made to set up a module in Jodhpur and its surroundings areas. Akhtar alias Monu was assigned this job along with Waqas a native of Pakistan,” an unnamed Anti-Terrorism squad (ATS) official said. “Akhtar visited Jodhpur and Jaipur but there is no confirmation about formation of such module. It may be because efforts could not materialise after Bhatkal’s arrest”, said a senior official of Rajasthan ATS seeking anonymity. According to ATS sources, Akhtar and Waqas were close confidants of Bhatkal and were trained in Pakistan to carry out terror activities. After Bhatkal’s arrest the NIA alerted the ATS following which posters of Akhtar, Waqas, and Haidar Ali alias Abdullah were pasted at all public places across the State.

Condemning the “encroachment of Karbi Anglong land by people of Nagaland”, KPLT 'general secretary' Ranam Lijang accused the people and government of Nagaland for illegal land grabbing and termed the recent bid as “motivated by evil intention.” Lijam also claimed that certain people of Dimapur have intensified patrolling in the bordering locality particularly in Daldali. He further alleged that clamping of section 144 of CrPC in the bordering locality by Nagaland authority was eyewash to maintain its good governance image before the center.

The central enforcement and intelligence agencies have commenced surveillance activities to curb high inflow Hawala (illegal money transaction) money in Kerala, New Indian Express reports on March 14. According to officials with the Intelligence Bureau (IB), a large amount of hawala money would flow into Kerala from the Gulf countries. “Since the Gulf is a major source of hawala funding, some places in Ernakulam District will be under surveillance. According to our assessment, a lot of hawala money will be brought from Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh,” officials of the Intelligence Bureau said. In their estimation, hawala money is likely to flow from the Gulf countries to Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kollam, Kannur and Kasargod Districts. There are also possibilities of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) flowing to the state during this period through the Gulf countries, Nepal and Bangladesh borders.

"We have submitted whatever intelligence information we got about the camps, location of the camps. We have not told them the leaders or any name. You must be attending this meeting earlier also. There used to be a huge list of camps. If you collect the data of 5 yearrs back and if you collect the data of this time, the number has reduced down to a considerable level because of their taking proactive action against the groups," said Srivastava. The BSF has also requested for a solution to the dispute regarding the setting up of wire fencing in some parts of the border.

The letter said “During 2012 panchayat poll, School and Mass Education Minister Rabi Nanda, Koraput Member of Parliament (MP) Jayram Pangi, Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) Jhina Hikaka and Raghuram Padal had signed on a 10-point charter of demands. But Biju Janata Dal has not fulfilled any one of the demands. In next poll, Nachika demanded BJD ticket for Laxmipur. He has weakened the agitation by telling people that they would get facilities by going the electoral way. Without caring for people’s problem, Nachika has demanded withdrawal of cases against him.”

The Biswamohan faction of National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT-BM) is facing its worst-ever crisis with lower cadres strongly advocating for ceasefire truce with the Government, reports The Assam Tribune on March 17. Mistrust between top-rank militant leaders and lower cadres over misuse of fund has been widening with every passing day and bloody clashes in the hideouts are likely, NLFT-BM’s ‘second-in-command’ Panthar Debbarma, who surrendered before the Security Forces at Kanchanpur in North Tripura District recently, told the sleuths of both Central and State agencies. According to him, two rebel leaders namely Parimal Debbarma and Rajkant Debbarma have already come under the radar of the outfit for alleged misuse of funds collected through extortion as well as ransom. “In fact, Parimal and Rajkant have been confined in the NLFT headquarters at Tablakandi, some 60 km from the Indo-Bangla border for allegedly misusing outfit’s fund. The duo will certainly return to Tripura if they are allowed after sorting out the problem with the NLFT top brass”, Panthar claimed during the interrogation. Tablakandi, which falls under Chittagong’s Rangamati District, is the outfit’s headquarters though no top rebel leader stays there for safety. While Parimal was responsible for collecting money on behalf of the outlawed group from Kanchanpur sector, Rajkant was looking after arms and ammunition. According to Panthar, the outfit has no proper record of receipts and payments enabling some leaders to siphon off huge money.

The report by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) showed that India is the one member of the 34-nation group ringed by the largest number of countries with a patchy record, surrounding it Indian Express reports on March 17. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has placed the update of the report on its website. In the Indian neighbourhood, the countries where progress in combating money laundering and financial terrorism has been scratchy include Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Myanmar. Two other countries which were under FATF surveillance, Nepal and Bangladesh have emerged from there as per the report. The Indian customs and other border patrolling agencies have found that the largest source from where Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) are pushed into the country is Pakistan. Beyond Pakistan the largest percentage of the global production of opium takes place in Afghanistan, and the resultant traffic tends to land up on the Indian border.

Meanwhile, a resolution on the need to create a separate Garoland State was defeated by a voice vote in the Meghalaya Assembly on March 18. Moving the resolution, Garo National Council (GNC) member, Clifford Marak said that since there was lack of development in Garo Hills, it would be ideal to create a separate State for Garos. According to Marak, there was a major disparity between the Garos and the Khasi-Jaintia population, both socially and economically. It was, however, rejected by a voice vote in the House. Also, with the Meghalaya Government making it clear that it was not keen on a division of the State, the move of the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) to hold talks with the State Government has hit a roadblock since, the creation of a separate Garo State is the key demand of the militant outfit, reports The Shillong Times on March 19.

Misappropriation of funds by senior 'commanders', growing resource crunch, food crisis and the wide gap between the lifestyles of leaders and that of Biswamohan faction of National Democratic Front of Tripura (NLFT-BM) cadres have led to situation with disaffection among cadres running high, reports The Telegraph on March 19. Senior officials of the Special Branch (intelligence wing) of State Police, who interrogated the surrendered NLFT-BM’s 'second-in-command' Pandit alias Panther Debbarma (41), said this. “Panther said lower-ranked cadres in the NLFT [BM faction] are not authorised to marry but top leaders can. This has created resentment. As a result, NLFT cadres have started marrying local girls in the Chittagong Hill Tracks of Bangladesh and settling down there,” an official of the Special Branch said. He added that if the present situation continued, the NLFT would soon disintegrate completely.

The Border Security Force (BSF) seized Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) of face value nearly INR 14,00,000 near the Indo-Bangladesh border in the Baishnabnagar Police Station area of Malda District on March 18, reports The Times of India.

FICN smuggled in across the International Border in Malda have been seized in places like Moradabad and Lucknow in the recent past. "We have taken the matter up with Bangladeshi authorities. They claim that much of the FICN reaches their country from foreign shores. The quality of the currency notes keep getting batter, making it difficult to identify a fake one..."said an unnamed official.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) wants the Election Commission of India to legalise the citizens' right to boycott polls, reports The Hindustan Times on March 20. The Maoists said this during a training camp in Gumla District on the Jharkhand-Chhattisgarh border. They also said the newly introduced None of the Above (NOTA) ballot option was meaningless, as those who disapproved of all candidates did not go to the polling booth and instead bogus voters were made to cast ballots. "Election boycott is a fundamental right and strength of the public. Hence, the people must be permitted to exercise this right without any hindrance," said Deenbandhu, 'regional secretary' of Bihar-Jharkhand-North Chhattisgarh Special Area Committee. However, he warned, "If the Security Forces thrust polls upon the people, we will retaliate just like we did on March 11 in Chhattisgarh killing 15 security men." Further, Maoist 'commander' Sylvestor said "Do not risk your lives accompanying Police to the polling booths, instead protest and walk out if you are forced to do so. We do not harm civilians." Deenbandhu said they are ready for talks with the government provided a favourable atmosphere was created. He added "We have burnt our fingers many times in the past. We lost our top central committee leader Cherikuri Rajkumar alias Azad and politburo member Koteshwar Rao alias Kishenji who went that extra mile to broker peace and were instead killed in cold blood." He also asked the governments to immediately release all prisoners of war (Maoists) lodged in various jails and then initiate the peace process.

Sharjah-based laundry owner Faizan Azmi and Nepalese private-school owner Khurshid, identified as key alleged logistics-providers for IM’s wanted terror operatives, have come under the scanner of counter-terror officials. While Azmi, who allegedly is an old acquaintance of Salem, owns the Istanbul laundry located at Al Qasmiya, Khurshid runs a private school in Nepal’s Sunsari District, said a counter-terror source. “Our investigations, and revelations of key IM operatives including Mohammed Salman alias Chotu, have revealed that both the facilitators have since September 2008 provided substantial help including shelter and odd jobs at their establishments and elsewhere to IM terror operatives on the run...The Nepalese suspect, according to Salman, had hosted for eight months five key wanted IM operatives -- Salman, Dr. Shahnawaz, Abu Rashid, Bada Sajid, and Khalid -- who had fled India after the outfit orchestrated the September 2008 blasts in Delhi and two of its men died in the Batla House encounter with the Delhi Police,” said the source.

The Shillong Times reports on March 22 that the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) shot dead Servison R Sangma, the cousin of its own ‘chairman’ Champion Sangma for deserting the outfit even as it claimed that the killing was ‘accidental’. A 12-member group of armed GNLA militants led by its ‘action commander’ Ajan Ch Marak alias Jimmy Momin came down to Asiragre village, three kilometres from Williamnagar (East Garo Hills District), and targeted the home of Servison. According to Police, the militants first tried to forcibly take him away at gunpoint. When Servison resisted the move, he was shot by Jimmy Momin. Servison Sangma who was earlier in the GNLA and went by the outfit’s name of Kocheng surrendered unarmed to Williamanagar Police in 2013. The GNLA was quick to distance itself from the killing blaming unknown individuals for the ‘accidental’ killing. “GNLA will pursue to the end any cadre who flees from the organization with arms and ammunition but Servison was accidentally killed due to wrong information given by some individuals,” claimed the GNLA in a hurriedly released press statement.

Noted Muslim cleric Maulana Abdul Qavi, wanted by Police for the last ten years, was arrested by Ahmedabad’s Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) on March 23 night from New Delhi airport for alleged anti-national activities and having links with terror groups Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), according to Zee News. Qavi has been 'wanted' by DCB for the last ten years in a case under the Prevention of Terrorist Activities (POTA) Act. In their remand application submitted to Additional Prinicipal Judge Geeta Gopi, DCB cited several reasons for Qavi's remand. According to DCB, Qavi allegedly took part in the proxy war against India with direct or indirect support of Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) and other terror outfits to avenge post-Godhra riots. The DCB also alleged Qavi sent several youngsters to Pakistan-based training camps run by LeT and JeM to spread terror in India. These youngsters include Asghar Ali, an accused in Haren Pandya murder case, and Hyderabad-based most wanted terrorist Rasool Party who is absconding and believed to be in Pakistan. DCB further claimed 56 accused have been arrested since 2004 in the case for waging terror against the nation and 41 are still absconding. After hearing arguments presented by DCB, the court remanded Qavi to a 14-day Police custody which ends on April 7, 2014. Crime Branch Chief, Joint Commissioner of Police A.K. Sharma commented, “Qavi was wanted in the jihadi conspiracy from 2003 that has resulted in the murder of Haren Pandya, blasts in AMTS buses of Ahmedabad, tiffin box blasts and firing at Jagdish Tiwari. Of the two modules (Hyderabad and Gujarat) that worked behind the recruitment of Muslim boys for terrorism and execution of the conspiracy in Gujarat, Qavi was one of the chief accused who recruited boys on instructions of terrorist Sharif Khan who is now believed to be hiding in Pakistan”, reports Indian Express.

External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid has said that Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India, reports Indian Express on March 24. He stated, “Jammu and Kashmir is an integral part of India – there is no question of anybody interfering with this idea. The US knows this very well”. Salman Khurshid was responding to Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s March 24 statement where he sought US intervention in settling the Kashmir dispute complaining that India was hesitant whenever it wanted to talk on the vexed issue. Speaking to accompanying Pakistani journalists after holding a meeting with US Secretary of State John Kerry at the Hague, on the sidelines of a two-day nuclear summit, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said the Kashmir issue should be resolved. He said, “We have said somebody else can also help us in resolving the issue. But India is also not in agreement on that. So how can talks proceed? How can such issues be solved? I said this is for the US also to think. When you tell us that normal relations should be there, we understand that but your role comes in also. If we cannot solve an issue with India bilaterally, a third power should be there to play a role in moving the dialogue forward.”

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) issued a specific alert of a possible “human bomb” targeting a rally of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Prime Ministerial nominee Narendra Modi Financial Express reports on March 24. According to sources, the IB alert says the attack may be on the lines of assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi by the Liberation Tiger of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 1991. The “highly specific” input states that while Modi won’t be shot at, a suicide bomber may target him disguised as a supporter. The alert does not specify the gender of the likely bomber. “The agencies are also working on messages picked up from social networking sites coinciding with poll announcements,” said a senior official. The agencies suspect any assassination attempt would be most likely in Modi’s own constituencies of Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) and Vadodara (Gujarat). The IB has issued inputs regarding the security protocol to several states, particularly Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra. “We are keeping a live channel open with these states,” confirmed a senior intelligence official.

As reported earlier, Police on March 25 arrested one Barqat Ali who allegedly arranged explosives for Indian Mujahideen (IM) in Jodhpur, reports The Times of India. According to recent updates he was arrested along with other two. According to Police Commissioner Sachin Mittal, Ali was arrested from his home. "He had come to his home early morning probably to collect some belongings," Mittal said. Two others identified as Mohammed Javed (28) and Mohammed Iqbal (32) were arrested from different locations following information extracted from Barqat. Jawed is a mason and Iqbal is a roadside vendor. "Both of them were lowest in the hierarchy of the group among those arrested so far and had the task of providing logistics to the module handlers," Mittal said. Police have found jehadi literature from their houses. Police faced a stiff resistance from neighbours of Barqat Ali during the raid at his home. Two Policemen were injured in stone pelting. All those arrested had well-defined tasks and they were clandestinely pursuing duties assigned by Saqib with dedication. "They had visited places like Lal Quila, Chandani Chowk, Palika Bazar, Taj Mahal and many other places following advice of their masters and had undergone the brainstorming sessions," Mittal said.

Barkat Ali, an alleged accomplice of suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorist Mohammad Sakib Ansari, was arrested in Jodhpur (Rajasthan) on March 25 (today), reports The Times of India. Ali had managed to give Police the slip on March 23 and several Police teams had swung into action to catch him. Barkat had managed to escape as he was tipped off by his accomplice Adil about the arrest of Ansari before Police could raid his house. Adil was later arrested and several incriminating materials were seized from his house. "We received information about his arrival at home this morning following which the police cordoned off his house and arrested him," a Police official said. Ali had allegedly supplied explosives and electronic detonating devices to Sakib, who was trained in making bombs and carrying out explosions by IM terrorist Zia Ur Rehman alias Waqas, who was arrested on March 22. In addition, The Times of India reports that a well-coordinated network of IM sleeping cell was in existence in Rajasthan for the past few months. "It was a completely different module of IM cropping up in Rajasthan. The three engineering students in Jaipur and Sabir in Jodhpur were in touch with each other. Mahroof and Sabir used to coordinate with Riyaz Bhatkal who is believed to be hiding in Karachi at the moment," said a source. Meanwhile, Waqas has confessed to undergoing intense training in Pakistan before he came to India to join IM, according to sources in the Delhi Police, NDTV reports on March 24. In 2010, Waqas allegedly underwent religious and weapons training in Pakistan for a year and was always motivated to carry out jihadi attacks. Waqas' first trainer was a man named Taj Mohammed, who agreed to train Waqas at Naushera of Khushab District in Punjab province of Pakistan, along with a group of boys aged between 15-20 years. The overall head trainer at Naushera was Abu Manzoor. Waqas was trained on how to use a G2 gun, AK-47 and INSAS rifles. After the first round of training or Daura-e-aam at Pakistan, he was then sent to Waziristan, where he was trained along with 20 other boys. After a month of gun training, he was sent for a special training on making explosives. Waqas has allegedly said that his trainers taught him to make Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) with locally available ingredients like ammonium nitrate, hydrogen peroxide and potassium chloride. In another 10 days he learnt how to make six different types of battery circuits.Finally, by September 2010, he came to India where he was received by Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu, who took him to meet Yasin Bhatkal, arrested IM 'India operations cheif'. Waqas has also confessed to taking part in Varanasi, Zaveri Bazaar, Dilsukhnagar blasts and Jama Masjid shoot out, say sources. The explosives were received Mangalore (Karnataka) and INR 1,00,000 in hawala (illegal money transaction) to buy the material and scooters on which the bombs were planted. In fact, Waqas had planted the bombs at Zaveri Bazaar himself. His image was captured on the CCTV, and Yasin Bhatkal had identified him in the footage to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) investigators. Indian Express reports on March 25, that Waqas told investigators that he had burnt two fingers while planting a bomb at Varanasi’s Sheetla Ghat in 2010 as its detonator exploded but he pretended to be a victim and escaped. Waqas, Police sources claimed, had told investigators that Yasin and he had taken an apartment on rent in Mumbai’s Byculla area before the attack and that he stayed in Mumbai for two months then. An Abdur Rehman alias Hashim Syed alias Hashim Pasha identified by Waqas as his Pakistani trainer, is suspected to be a former Pakistani military official Abdur Rehman Pasha first named by 26/11 accused David Headley during his interrogation by the NIA in 2010. Abdur Rehman Pasha has also been named by the US FBI as a key accused alongside Headley and Rana in a 2009 plot to attack the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten in Copenhagen. He figures at number three in the list of 50 most wanted terrorists in India and has an Interpol red corner notice issued for his arrest on the request of Indian authorities. “Pasha has long been associated with operations in India. Headley believes that local Indian boys are involved in the Karachi setup,” the NIA said in its report. “Abdur Rehman is directly in touch with the top of brass of the Al Qaeda… has met Osama a number of times,” the NIA stated. The Times of India adds that sources said that IM's current leader in India, Tehsin Akhtar created this module. Waqas was entrusted with the task of teaching these students to put together IED. "The three engineering students were a perfect fit for the IM's Rajasthan module as it was very easy for them to learn how to put together bombs. It is a very technical task involving electricity circuits to time the explosions. The technical background of these three students helped them learn it fast," said an officer. He added that engineers have been found to be part of IM in the past too. In addition, an advanced team of highly trained Pakistani terrorists was going to enter India next month to assist IM disrupt the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) polls, an intelligence officer claimed on the basis of the interrogation of Waqas. Among top leaders, Amir Reza Khan, Iqbal and Riyaz Bhatkal, Mirza Shadab Baig, Dr Shahnawaz, Bada Sajid and Afeef Mota, are still in Pakistan. However, there are many fresh recruits who could rise up the ladder in time. Further, Waqas had stayed for three days at a lodge in Bandra (West) before leaving for Rajasthan. Sources in the Delhi Police's Special Cell said that before coming to Mumbai, Waqas had been hiding in a safe house in Kerala for some time. "He took a train from Kerala to Mumbai, planning to go to Ajmer. We are interrogating him," said special cell commissioner SM Srivastava. Separately, all special division CID units in Tamil Nadu have been urged to keep tabs on activities of suspected fundamentalists following the arrest of Waqas and his accomplices, The Times of India reports on March 24. An un-named Police officer said, "IM men had earlier committed serial blasts in Bangalore and Hyderabad which are geographically close to Chennai."

CPI-Maoist has issued warning to the Judges in Chhattisgarh saying that that they will face trial in the Jan Adalat (people’s court) who award punishment to the tribals “without any evidence or under instructions from the Police,” reports The New Indian Express on March 27. The warning came in a three-page statement signed by Dandkaranya Special Zone committee 'spokesperson' Gudsa Usendi. To substantiate the charge, the Maoists have cited the case of one of their woman cadre Nirmala, who was arrested by the Police in 2007 and has been languishing in the Jagdalpur prison ever since. “145 cases were filed against her. In 100 of them, she has been set free. This shows how the government is wrongly arresting people on the basis of false charges. Another cadre, Malti was given 10 years’ term for distributing a video CD that showed the atrocities committed by the Salwa Judum. No evidence was submitted in her case. The High Court rejected their appeal even without going into the merits of the case,” it said.

Hindustan Times reports on March 27 that with militants replenishing their ranks to around 130 armed and active militants in the Kashmir Valley. "There are 130 militants active in the valley," Inspector General of Police (IGP) Abdul Ghani Mir told. However, he said, the Police have "an upper hand after successful operations in south Kashmir". At least 23 militants were killed in first three months of 2014. While 14 were killed in north Kashmir, seven were gunned down in south Kashmir. Two militants were killed in otherwise peaceful Budgam District. Two dozen militants have been apprehended so far. The real threat emerges from the fact that presence of local militants has gone up this year against the perception on the ground that foreign militants will add up their numbers. Police sources admit that several local militants remain unlisted, with recycling of former militants posing a challenge. There are more than 15,000 surrendered militants in the state. "Around 11 local boys have joined militant ranks after the hanging of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru," admitted IGP Mir. The police have already rounded up 376 people under the preventive measures. At least 957 non-bailable warrants have been executed, 171 hamlets identified as vulnerable and 143 people unidentified as probable source of trouble.

Official of the Pune District administration attached the house of terror suspect Mohsin Chaudhary at Manisha Complex in Mitha Nagar area of Kondhwa on March 27, reports Indian Express. Mohsin, an alleged Indian Mujahideen operative, is wanted in many terror cases, including the German Bakery blasts of February 2010. He has been missing since 2008. His brother Akbar Choudhary, also alleged to be an IM operative, was earlier arrested in 2008. The Times of India adds on March 28 that investigations have found out that IM has already prepared the next leadership for the outfit, inspite of the arrest of Waqas and Tehseen Akhtar. At least two operatives who are fully trained, ready and close to the top bosses are out in the field to take reins of the outfit. While one of them, from Bihar, has been trained by Yasin Bhatkal and is said to be as sharp as Tehseen, another has been sent by Pakistan-based IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal. To make matters worse, Bodhgaya and Patna blast key accused Haidar Ali, who was indoctrinated by Tehsin, is yet to be caught. Further, Tehseen Akhtar during the interrogation told Police that he was entrusted with the job to smuggle Zahida Khanum, wife of IM 'India operations chief' Yasin Bhatkal, from Delhi to Nepal in the last week of August 2013. However, their plan could not materialize since Bhatkal himself was arrested on August 29 at the Indo-Nepal border and brought to Delhi.

However, alert troops didn’t allow the militants to enter inside the camp and engaged them in firing outside killing all of them during nearly 12 hours long operation, which was declared close at 6.30 pm. The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Rajesh Kumar said the militants were heavily equipped with modern weaponry and eatable. Recoveries made from three slain militants included three AK rifles, three pistols, 18 magazines, a large quantity of hand grenades, four pre-prepared Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and eatables. Sources admitted that the militants were Pakistanis and cadre of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit though they didn’t carry anything, which could establish their identity or outfit. The photographs, tactics of fighting and heavy weaponry and other techniques adopted by the militants indicated that they were Pakistan cadre of the LeT outfit. Meanwhile, a militant outfit ‘Al Shohada Brigade’, believed to be a shadow outfit of LeT terror outfit, today claimed responsibility for the terror attack. A ‘spokesperson’ of the outfit called some news organisations in Srinagar and claimed the responsibility for the attack. The outfit’s name was first circulated on September 26, 2013 when it claimed the responsibility for twin attacks on Police Station in Hiranagar and an Army camp in Samba District.

A National Investigation Agency (NIA) team came to know that leader of a gang involved in inter-country movement of extremists might have a direct hand in the October 27, 2013, Patna (Bihar) bomb blasts, The Times of India reports on April 1. Two teams of the NIA and Intelligence Bureau (IB) are presently scanning the leads at Nadia and North 24-Parganas Districts to arrest the leader from West Bengal. Code words such as "ticket" or "chaloo" were used for pistol and "kalungi" for explosives, while the popular AK-47 assault rifle was addressed as "reservation" and "elaichi" for a detonator were frequently used. "The word 'kalungi' kept featuring in their conversations prior to the blasts in Patna," a source said. This revelation came after the arrest of Tehsin Akhtar alias Monu and Waqas. Sources also said that the main suspect had played a crucial role in delivering hawala (illegal money transaction) money that has funded numerous blasts in India. "We believe that this man, who prefers operating from North 24 Parganas, was close to Abdul Karim Tunda, the LeT operative who virtually sheltered terrorists of different organizations in Bangladesh," the source added.

Yasin Bhatkal, Indian Mujahideen (IM) 'India operations chief', wanted to carry out a jihad in the country using 'gulels' (catapult/slingshot), the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has found in its course of investigations, The Times of India reports on April 1. Bhatkal wanted to train IM cadres in the use of such catapults in terror attacks. Bhatkal, said a Police officer, even got 1,000 such catapults made but the plan never materialised. Bhatkal told his interrogators that he returned to India in 2006 after completing his terror training in Pakistan. He stayed at a friend's place in Udipi, Karnataka, and worked at a cycle repairing shop. After the July 11, 2006, serial train blasts in Mumbai, Riyaz Bhatkal, IM founder, met Yasin in Udipi. Yasin brought some catapults from Dubai and wanted to replicate them in the country and distribute them among Muslims in Udipi. "He planned to distribute some 1,000 gulels," the officer said. Yasin tried to get the catapults made from a place called Arab Tabela in South Mumbai. He brokered a deal with a small-time blacksmith, Raju Bhai, who agreed to make a die-cast and 1,000 catapults for INR18,000. During this time, Yasin stayed at a guest house near Mumbai Central station for Rs100 a day. His partner, Abu Bhai, too stayed with him.
