Inaugurating a Police Station in Amasebailu in Udupi District on October 1, Karnataka Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar said, "No more extension of the ceasefire, which has already expired. Naxals [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] have failed to utilise the opportunity given by the government," reported Zee News. The Government had announced a ceasefire of its anti- naxal operations from September 17 to 23 in the backdrop of reports that some naxals wanted to surrender. However, none came forward to lay down arms. Shettar warned that stringent action would be taken against naxals and Police would step up combing operations. The Government would soon release funds for implementing the special package announced for Naxal-affected areas in parts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Chikmagalur and Shimoga, he added.

Two personnel of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) were shot dead by alleged cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on October 1, in Metala forest of West Midnapore District, reports The Indian Express. They were identified as R N Mahato and Vijay Bhaskar. CRPF officials attributed the killings to a sudden Maoists attack.

Our personnel retaliated. We lost two men. But there is no question of any panic in the area as we have absolute command and control over the area.” However, there was a contrary version with Police sources saying that a panic firing by CRPF personnel could have killed two of their own men.

Manoj Mahto (24), a youth with links to several Left Wing Extremist (LWE) factions was picked by a group of unidentified men from his home at Kedli around 30km from Ranchi on October 2 and shot dead, reports The Telegraph. “Prima facie it appears that Maoists [Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)] are involved as those who killed Mahto were in uniform. But according to our information, Maoists aren’t active in the area. Hence, we are not sure whether it was Maoists or any other group,” Ranchi Superintendent of Police (rural) A. V. Minz said. While Minz said investigations were on, local residents claimed that Maoists were behind the murder. “Mahto was responsible for the murder of Ram Charan, a CPI (Maoist) area commander, who was shot dead on June 7 last year. Hence, there is every possibility that Maoists are involved,” said a middle-aged villager.

Nagaland Post reports on October 2 that Chinese and Pakistani intelligence agencies are working in tandem to create mayhem in India’s Northeastern region. Counter-terrorism officials have gathered intelligence that the Chinese agencies are financing and providing assistance to Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to keep insurgent groups active in the Northeast. A note prepared by the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) on the recent unrest in the Northeast says, “ISI is being used by Chinese intelligence agencies as a surrogate.” The note has been forwarded to the home ministry. According to intelligence agencies, Indian insurgent groups are being provided assistance in the form of money and weapons by the Chinese agencies through ISI. Intelligence officials also suspect that the violence in Assam in which more than 80 people were killed could have been part of a “bigger conspiracy”. The linkages of the ISI, which has a strong base in states such as Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya and Manipur, with the Chinese agencies, have become a major cause of concern in India. Experts believe this is a deadly cocktail of terror that is being used to destabilize the country. “Till the mid 1970s the Chinese were directly involved in creating trouble in North-East. Later the ISI started building a network.

The Telegraph reports on October 3, that the Centre will seek an amendment to the Sixth Schedule in a bid to implement accords signed with Northeast outfits and devolve more powers to the grassroots. The schedule lays down provisions for administration of tribal areas in Assam, Mizoram, Meghalaya and Tripura through autonomous district councils and regional councils accountable to the governor. A draft bill piloted by the Union home ministry to amend the schedule has got a nod from most of the ministries concerned, sources said. The Government will try to bring it for Parliament’s approval in the winter session. The principal feature of the amendment could be the constitution of village councils. “Democracy to the grassroots through elected village councils cannot be ruled out,” a senior official said. The model is believed to be largely based on the concept of village councils and village development boards in Nagaland.

18 gram rakshis or village guards of remote villages in Kudumulu Gumma block in Malkangiri District are reported to have expressed their desire to resign due to threat from Maoists, reports The Hindu. Copies of a common letter in which these guards have expressed their desire to resign have reached media personnel in the District. All of them are posted in villages of Panasput, Andrapali, and Jodamba Gram Panchayats (village-level local self-government institution) of the cut off area of Chitrakonda reservoir under Chitrakonda Police Station limits. When contacted, Malkangiri Superintendent of Police Akhilesh Singh said on October 5 that no such letter had reached him or the Chitrakonda Police Station directly from the village guards. He, however, said that the so-called letter by the village guards raised some suspicion as it bears the signature of only one though names of 18 gram rakshis are mentioned in the letter. An investigation was launched to verify the authenticity of the joint resignation letter, he added. The resignation letter had come a few days after the murder of two village guards on September 25 in the Jodamba area by the Maoists.

According to a Rediff report published on October 5, out of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth around INR 21.60 million seized from across India in 2012, FICN worth INR 15.60 million was seized from New Delhi alone. The remaining seizures were from West Bengal (INR 2.98 million), Bihar (INR two million) and Punjab (INR 922,000). Recent statistics reveal that in Delhi alone, there are 10 cases on an average which are registered every day pertaining to counterfeiting. In Bengaluru (Karnataka), Chennai (Tamil Nadu), Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) and Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) the average number of cases registered is between four and five every day. In a change of strategy, states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra, which were predominant hubs for FICNs have now been used less. Also, those pumping in FICN have not been using the Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh borders too much either. Bangkok and Vietnam are being used for this purpose since the past one year. Over the past one year, most of the seizures have had an origin from either Bangkok or Vietnam and while investigating the route it has been found that the FICN is landing in Delhi before it is circulated around.

Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials said that the networks for both hawala (illegal money transfer channel) and FICN are the same. The hawala market is an INR 20 billion business in India alone and nearly INR 12 billion emerges out of Delhi alone. The report also said that a 'Muslim Defence Fund' (MDF) has been set up by the D-gang (led by Pakistan based Dawood Ibrahim) in Delhi.

The attack on Operation Blue Star Commander Lieutenant General K.S. Brar on September 30, in London, U.K. has prompted the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to take a closer look at the pro-Khalistan activism and fund-raising by radical Sikh organizations supposedly working for welfare of incarcerated Sikh militants, as well as cyber sites openly promoting the Khalistan cause, as reported on October 5, by The Times of India. At least two such organizations, the Sikh Organization for Prisoner Welfare (SOPW) and Punjabi e-paper 'Rozana Spokesman' have come under NIA, which is probing cases involving "active" remnants of Sikh militant groups such as Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). The NIA suspects a possible attempt by certain foreign-based pro-Khalistan leaders and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to revive militancy in Punjab, and is probing possible sources of terror financing for the project.

The Shillong Times reports on October 5 that Meghalaya Government is facing an uphill task in the run up to the Assembly elections as it has to control the activities of several militant groups in the State. Four main militant groups — Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) in Khasi Hills and Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA), Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC) and breakaway faction of ANVC (ANVC-B) in Garo Hills — can play a crucial role in influencing the outcome of elections if the candidates fall into the ‘temptation’ of making use of these militants to further their cause. There are also minor groups including Liberation of Achik Elite Force (LAEF) who are active in the border areas of West Khasi Hills and East Garo Hills. ANVC publicity secretary, Arist Sangma, however said, his outfit, currently under ceasefire, would not meddle in the 2013 election. The HNLC is yet to make its stand clear on the elections while the ANVC-B has already announced that it will initiate mass awareness on adult franchise and democratic rights besides mobilizing a democratic front for the 2013 polls. However, the biggest cause of worry is the recent announcement of GNLA ‘chairman’ Champion Sangma that the outfit was ready to support Congress in the election.

The Telegraph reports that Mizoram Home Minister R. Lalzirliana, on October 5, warned that northeast parts of the State might be declared “disturbed areas”, if the Hmar People’s Convention-Democracy (HPC-D) militants continue to intimidate people of the area. Lalzirliana said that the HPC-D cadres were intimidating political parties and the people living under Sinlung Hills Development Council. They were also instructing parties not to field candidates in village council elections to be held on October 18 in 15 villages. The polls to 15 village councils under the hill council were not held along with the rest of the village councils on February 23, owing to intimidation by HPC-D militants. “If the militants continue their violent activities, the area may have to be placed under the control of not only the state police but also paramilitary forces,” he said. No nominations were filed till 3 pm October 4, the last day of filing nominations, prompting the State Election Commission to extend the last date of filing of nominations to October 9.

Three alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists, including a Pakistani national, facing trial on charges of plotting an attack to disrupt celebrations being held in 2007 to mark the 150th anniversary of the First War of Independence, were acquitted by a trial court in New Delhi on October 5, The Times of India reported.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has decided to purchase advanced versions of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that will be operated and run by the force itself without taking help from any external agency, reports Indian Express on October 8. The UAVs are expected to help combat the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and lift real-time images. They can function in extremely windy and rainy conditions and have the capacity to be deployed within an hour of any operation announced by the Security Forces (SFs), thereby giving them an edge. CRPF officials said they were looking for a system which can’t be hacked or diverted by sending out false crash signals. Live images lifted by the UAV would be viewed on laptops and palm-tops. Currently, the CRPF uses Netra — mini UAV’s — developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) which is said to have its limitations when used in dense forests.

The 143 BDCs included 77 in Kashmir valley and 66 in Jammu region. "The State Government had also successfully completed the Panchayat polls in July, 2011 despite militants' threat and the polling percentage was more than 80%.

Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram said that law and order situation in Jammu and Kashmir has dramatically improved. Chidambaram said, “I don't agree that situation is bad. I think the situation has dramatically improved over the last two years. It’s still some way to go and I think the State Government must address the issue of law and order very firmly. Only a very small section continues to talk about secession and freedom and that kind of thing. There is no resonance for that among the people... The people are looking to jobs, to investment, to growth, to opportunities, to goods and to services… I agree that more investment should flow into Jammu and Kashmir." Zee News reported that 2916 youth, almost half of them hailing from different areas of Srinagar, got employment in Police during 16 special recruitment rallies conducted since 2010.

Yasin Bhatkal, ‘chief’ of Indian Mujahideen’s (IM) India operations, planted the bomb at Dadar in the July 13, 2011 (13/7) Mumbai (Maharashtra) serial blasts himself, according to the confessional statement of Nadeem Sheikh, a key accused in the triple blasts, reports The Hindustan Times on October 9. The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) which is probing the case has also learnt that on July 7, 2011, six persons including Bhatkal, Ahmed, Waqas, Tabrez, Munnabhai and Sheikh had met at Habib building in Byculla to plan the serial blasts. According to Sheikh’s statement, Bhatkal’s main objective behind the terror act was to create communal disharmony in Mumbai. Sheikh’s statement, which runs into 25 pages, details the conspiracy, meetings, financial transactions and also information about how IM operatives went about executing the blasts. Money for the entire operation was sent through hawala (illegal money transfer) channel by Riyaz Bhatkal through Haroon Naik’s network of hawala operators. The conspiracy began in February, 2011 when Bhatkal came to Mumbai, and with the help of Naquee Ahmed and Sheikh, hired a room on rent at Habib building. Recorded before an additional chief metropolitan magistrate’s court in March, it was opened before the special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court last week during the hearing of the bail plea of Kanwar Pathrija, an accused in 13/7 serial blasts for receiving and delivering terror money through the hawala channel.

Stepping up its effort to fight Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) insurgency, the Union Government is all set to launch the second phase of its road expansion programme in 34 Districts spread across eight States, reports The Hindustan Times. As part of this, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) will be building approximately 5,700 kilometres of two lane roads at a cost of over INR 100 billion. Together with Phase I of the project, which was launched in 2009, this will result in a total road network of over 11,000 kilometres to be build at a cost of over INR 170 billion by 2017. In Phase-II, the maximum number of road stretches would be developed in Andhra Pradesh followed by Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh.

Security agencies think the rivalry between DHD factions [Dima Halim Daogah-Jewel Garlosa (DHD-J) and Dilip Nunisa Faction of DHD (DHD-N)], which has been one of the causes of bloodshed, is unlikely to subside even after signing the Memorandum of Settlement (MoS), reports Times of India on October 10."The rivalry will not go away. The two factions will now be fighting each other to take control of the autonomous council," a source said. Security agencies also pointed out the factor that has a major stake in maintaining peace in the hill district. "One-third of the population of Dima Hasao District comprises non-Dimasa tribal groups, which include Nagas, Kukis and Hmars, principally. All these groups owe allegiance to different militant groups like NSCN, Kuki and Hmar outfits”. In addition, the tripartite MoS signed to end insurgency in the Dima Hasao District has angered the non-Dimasa tribes living in the District, including the Nagas, Kukis, and Hmars. Further, the Bengalis, the second largest community (approximately 32,000) in the District, continue to remain tight-lipped over the agreement.

The Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Government on October 10 informed the state legislature that over 1,000 Kashmiri youth stranded in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) have applied to return home under its rehabilitation programme, The Times of India reported. Minister of State for Home Nasir Aslam Wani informed the house that the Government has received 1,082 applications from Kashmiris stranded in PoK since they crossed over for arms training in the 1990s. Wani said 66 people, some of them along with their families, have returned via Nepal and other routes. The Minister, however, said that none of the youth, who had gone to PoK for arms training, had returned through identified routes as part of the rehabilitation policy, adds Zee News. He said the Government, in consultations with the Union Home ministry, had identified Wagah border, PCP Attari, Salamabad (Baramulla), Chakandabagh (Poonch) and Indira Gandhi International Airport New Delhi as routes for the return of such youth. The minister further said none of the 66 returnees were in jail but added a woman named Aseema, wife of one Mohammad Latief of Chadoora in Budgam District, was presently lodged in Poonch District jail as she had crossed the border in May 2012, much before the policy was implemented. Around 5,000 Kashmiris are believed to be there (in PoK) and most of them want to return having abjured violence.

The Sangai Express reports on October 10 that, the Hmar People’s Convention-Democracy (HPC-D) has, once again pushed the Government of Mizoram to another difficult situation as it stands its ground firm not to allow the latter to conduct Village Council (VC) elections in Sinlung Hills of Mizoram. The Government of Mizoram has been desperately trying to conduct the VC elections as it has already fixed more than one date for filing the nomination papers. According to sources, representatives of the Government of Mizoram visited the jailed leaders of the HPC-D in Aizawl Central Jail on October 8 to negotiate for a free conduct of the elections. Unfortunately, the HPC-D leaders did not hand out any straw to the visiting Government officials. The HPC-D has laid down conditions for the Government of Mizoram that, if it is serious about talking to them, the arrested leaders should be released unconditionally. The HPC-D has also expressed its desire to talk if the condition is fulfilled and if the Government is serious in delivering justice to the Hmar peoples. The HPC-D maintains that securing peace and justice would only be realised if the Government of Mizoram created a Hmar Autonomous District in the interest of securing welfare, democracy, and just peace.

The Telegraph reports that the Centre is talking to Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur chief ministers for a consensus on steps relating to the welfare of Nagas living in the two States before it reaches a final settlement with the National Socialist Council of Nagalim-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM). A solution is likely before March, 2013, Union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said on October 10. “I have been talking to the chief ministers of both Arunachal and Manipur and we are trying to reach a consensus on this,” he said, in reply to a question on the progress of Naga talks. Shinde’s statement comes a day after he held talks with Manipur chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh. Talks with the NSCN-IM concern the states neighbouring Nagaland as the outfit had demanded an integrated homeland for the Nagas — there are Naga tribes in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur as well as in Myanmar. Although the Centre has turned down the demand for carving out Naga-inhabited areas from other states and bring it under a single administrative arrangement, an alternative way to appease tribal sentiments in these areas is being explored.

Based on the information provided by November 26, 2008 (26/11) mastermind Abu Jundal, Delhi Police busted a gang of Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists, which carried out the serial blasts in Pune on August 1, 2012 and had planned to attack Delhi and Bodh Gaya (Bihar) during the coming festival season, reports The Times of India. Announcing the arrests of Asad Khan, Imran Khan and Sayed Feroz alias Hamza, all belonging to Maharashtra, Delhi Police Chief Neeraj Kumar said the IM cell carried out the serial bomb attacks in Pune to avenge the killing of Qateel Siddiqui in Pune's Yerwada Jail on June 8, 2012. Sources said they had planned to target at least seven crowded places in Delhi. Asad and Imran were arrested from their Pul Prahladpur accommodation on September 26, 2012 while Feroz was arrested on October 1 from Nizamuddin railway station in Delhi. The terrorists, came to Delhi after a period of hiding in Roorkee (Uttarakhand, Roorkee District), were carrying 5kg of explosives and 10 detonators as part of the plot to explode at least 10 bombs in Delhi and the pilgrim city of Bodh Gaya. Circuits, 9-volt batteries, ball bearings, nails, shrapnel and other material used to make IEDs were part of the cache recovered from them. IM commander Fayyaz Ahmed Kagzi, is the leader of these three. According to sources, one of the mobile numbers provided by Jundal gave them the lead resulting in the arrests of the Pune bombers. One of the arrested persons, Asad, is allegedly linked also to the Aurangabad arms haul case in which Jundal is also an accused. Delhi Police stumbled upon the IM module by tracing their phone calls and email conversations with their contacts, suspected to be the Bhatkal brothers and Kagzi in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Sources said it was Riyaz Bhatkal who asked the Pune bombers to move from Roorkee to Delhi before the festival season, and asked one Raju Bhai to arrange a hideout. Delhi Police is now looking for Raju Bhai. Moreover, Aurangabad Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), led by Navinchandra Reddy, on October 11, evening searched residence of Asad Khan in Naigaon (Pune District), and seized documents. Asad's younger brother, Hussain Khan, has been picked up for questioning. Further, it has been reported that the arrested had made three attempts to plant a bomb on the premises of the Yerawada central jail and a local court in Pune. They also wanted to kill the family members of gangster Sharad Mohol and his aide Alok Bhalerao, who killed IM terrorist Qateel Siddiqui. In addition, Maharashtra ATS said, that interrogation of Jundal, had yielded vital clues in the Pune case. Sayed Firoz, one of the arrested owns a garment shop ‘Option by Firoz’ near hotel Silver Inn in Camp area, according to dnaindia.com. According to Pune Police the Bhatkal brothers, had been working for the last eight years to set up a terror module in Pune. The two brothers, said police officials, were setting up a pan-India network which had about 100 people. The groups held clandestine meetings in Pune’s Camp area with the aim to indoctrinate new recruits. Hindustan Times reported on October 12, that these three were originally recruited for the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) before being relegated to IM. They bought eight electronic detonators from market area of Nehru Place in Delhi.

The Centre rushed additional 7,000 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel to the State and will deploy more paramilitary forces in near future if required, The Times of India reported on October 12. The fresh deployment — made during the past fortnight on the State Government's request — will increase the strength of the CRPF to the extent of 75,000 personnel. "We have rushed additional CRPF personnel to the state in two batches for law and order duties. The State Government wanted fresh deployment in view of growing need of security to panches [member of Panchayat, village level local self Government institution] and sarpanches [head of Panchayat] in vulnerable areas," said an unnamed Union Ministry of Home Affairs official. He said though the government had decided to gradually decrease the footprints of paramilitary personnel in the State, the recent incidents of attacks on panchayat members and growing demand to provide them security at the earliest had resulted in "reversal of the plan for the time being". As reported earlier, as part of decreasing the strength of the paramilitary forces in the State, the Government had withdrawn two battalions (nearly 2,000 personnel) in August, reducing the CRPF's presence from 70, 000 to 68,000 personnel.

a team of Pune ATS officers have reached Delhi and are coordinating with the Delhi Police’s Special Cell. Karnataka Police officers will reach here on October 13, (today) to question the three suspected militants as one of them had fled to Bangalore after the blasts. Sources in the intelligence also revealed that IM was planning to carry out a fidayeen (suicide) attack at the Bodhgaya (Bihar) temple to avenge the recent killing of Muslims allegedly by Buddhists in Myanmar. The plan to attack the temple was revealed by the Delhi Police on October 11 when it announced the arrest of three IM operatives. It has also come to light that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) leader Fayyaz Kagzi, said to be the mentor of these three, did not engage Asad, Imran and Sayed but they volunteered to carry out jehad (holy war), as reported on October 13, by The Times of India. Their interrogation report states that Asad wanted to work with IM, and knowing that Fayyaz Kagzi of Beed (Maharashtra) was an active member, he started looking for him. They reached Kagzi through Kashif Biyabani. Asad Khan's interrogation report further states the three travelled to Saudi Arabia just to meet Kagzi after obtaining his number from Biyabani. It also mentions a meeting with Yusuf Himayat Baig. Of late, Asad became a motivator and started visiting madrasas (seminary) and mazars to look for youths to indoctrinate. Worried about such developments, intelligence agencies have now advised all state Police departments to keep a watch on such motivators and also young boys attending madrasas.

Investigators have learned that the three Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists, arrested for the August 1, 2012 Pune (Maharashtra)serial blasts, had conducted a recce at five crowded places in Mumbai on July 24, as reported on October 13, by The Times of India. The targets included Borivli railway station, Juhu beach, Vashi, Bandra and Andheri. They also planned to attack the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) headquarters at Nagpada. Security was reviewed at the ATS headquarters after the revelation. The Mumbai plan was dropped, though, on the instructions of Riyaz Bhatkal from Pakistan. According to sources, "the Indian Mujahideen's original plan to kill Sharad Mohol and Ashok Bhalerao, who killed Qateel Siddiqui in Yerwada jail, is still on". In another revelation, sources said the three had met Yusuf Himayat Baig, who was arrested by Maharashtra ATS for the German bakery blast, in December 2009, through Kashif Biyabani, brother of Akhef Biyabani who was arrested for the 2006 Aurangabad case. Sources say that the two terrorists in this IM module-Shaqir and Ahmed who are currently absconding-were involved in previous blasts as well. "Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal used to make a plan, assign a module for the attacks and then send Shaqir and Ahmed to that module as they are bomb experts. They used to make bombs, plant them and then disappear". After the Pune bomb blasts, Asad, Imran and Feroz fled to Roorkee (Uttarakhand) and stayed in a mazar (shrine) for almost a month before coming to Delhi on September 20, 2012 for carrying out blasts during Diwali. Expressindia.com reported that according to Police, Raju Bhai, an important link in the Pune blasts case, got the Pul Prahladpur flat in Delhi on rent for the three IM militants using a fake name. Officers investigating the case said the flat was booked using two different names. The officers said Raju Bhai’s cellphone number had also been registered using a false identity proof.

The Union Home Ministry has advised the West Bengal Government to challenge the Calcutta High Court (HC) judgment that granted political prisoner status to arrested Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, reports Deccan Herald on October 13. The high court’s judgment is feared to have opened a possibility for the Maoists to exploit a State specific act to justify even the act of waging war against the nation. Hearing three different revision petitions on August 8, Justice Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia declared seven persons accused of being Maoist leaders “political prisoners within the meaning and ambit of Correctional Services Act [West Bengal Correctional Services Act of 1992].” The Times of India adds that according to ministry sources, the State home department has given a verbal assurance to the Centre that it would consider the option of amending the state law.

Addressing a mass rally organised by the Coordination Committee of Indigenous Tribal National Organisations at Amingaon in Guwahati, leaders of the organisations unanimously stated they would resist any attempt to rehabilitate the displaced Muslims in the Bodo-Muslim clashes on the basis of documents such as ration card, Permanent Account Number (PAN) card or job card, reports The Telegraph. Bodo Sahitya Sabha ‘president’ Kameshwar Brahma said the state government was mounting pressure on the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) to rehabilitate even those riot victims, who do not possess land documents, based on documents such as ration card, which is unacceptable to them. The committee wants land record as a basis for rehabilitating the displaced persons. Leaders of organisations such as Bodo Sahitya Sabha, Bodo Women Justice Forum, Mising Sangram Parishad, Tiwa Sahitya Sabha, All Rabha Students Union and Dimasa Students’ Union also attended the rally.

Delhi Police on October 14, have identified a house where the conspiracy for Pune blast hatched hatched, reports Hindustan Times. Sayyed Feroze, led a team of the Delhi Police Special Cell to a house which he and five others had rented as a meeting ground a month prior to the bid. Sources said they had questioned the owner of the house and recorded his statement before proceeding to two other locations. These include an adjacent cycle market and a wholesale electronics market where Feroze identified some shops he had visited to procure material to construct the Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) used to execute five simultaneous blasts. The Times of India, reports on October 15, that despite the arrest of three suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists who were planning major strikes in Delhi during the Diwali season, sources in Delhi Police say that the threat is not over. Investigators suspect that the two absconding terrorists of this module Shaqir and Ahmed, who are bomb making experts, could well be in the city and may carry out blasts with the help of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) sleeper cells. According to sources, the money for Diwali attacks was to come through a Delhi-based hawala (illegal money transfer) dealer, who is being looked for now. To avert any tragedy, the special cell is looking for other IM militants in Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR) region and security has been beefed up in crowded markets.

In a press statement, the Information and Publicity secretary of the NDFB-RD, B Naijab urged the Government to stop the inhuman killings and initiate discussions to arrive at a meaningful solution to this issue in the near future.

the Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteers Council (ANVC-B) has predicted that the 2013 Assembly elections in Garo Hills would not be peaceful due to the presence of illegal weapons in the area. According to the militant outfit, several gangs are being sponsored by politicians by providing them with arms. The outfit, in a statement issued on October 14, alleged that a number of sophisticated weapons that sneaked into Garo Hills in the last couple of months were not procured by the revolutionary groups. “They were procured by gangs sponsored by politicians. Through our networks we confirmed to whom those weapons were handed over and the strategies the leaders are planning in the elections,” the ANVC-B said. “The Government is trying to silence the ANVC-B as most politicians see them as a hurdle in executing their plans in the upcoming elections. Secret operations against ANVC-B cadres have also started,” the outfit added. Further, that the ANVC-B has urged the Nokmas to address the issue of influx. In a statement, the ANVC–B leader, Rimpu Marak said that it was time Nokmas should understand their role in the society and exercise their powers with utmost wisdom and sincerity. The Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC) has failed to safeguard the interest of the indigenous people as for them vote matters and party politics is a priority. The Nokmas need to take up the issue of influx and illegal settlement seriously, otherwise consequences will be fatal”, the ANVC-B leader added.

Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) ‘chairman’, Hagrama Mohilary, on October 15, said the 1971 voter list should be the only criterion for rehabilitating riot-hit genuine Indian citizens in the second phase that aims to resettle victims without land records, reports The Telegraph. Mohilary said that the BTC does not agree with many points mentioned in the State Government-prepared format for the second phase of rehabilitation that requires inmates of relief camps to disclose their antecedents with or without supporting documents as proof of their citizenship. The format was handed over to the BTC for consideration after the October 10 meeting between its members and the group of ministers in Guwahati. It is required to re-submit it to the State Government. Mohilary said of the 18 columns in the State Government-prepared format, the BTC agrees to 14. The columns where disagreement exists are whether the family has a village council development committee (VCDC) certificate, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee act (MGNREGA) job card issued by the Block Development Officer (BDO), bank passbook/PAN card and whether the household was recorded in the 2011 census.

Terror outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) has set up base in West Asia, with Saudi Arabia emerging as preferred destination to launch its operations in India, as reported on October 15, by India Today. Counter-terror experts also feel that Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) is arranging safe havens for the terror operatives in West Asian countries. Further, a senior Intelligence Bureau (IB) official commented, "It's a big headache for the intelligence agencies to detect the communications between them. It is impossible to monitor all the activities in the cyberspace”. The task is made difficult not only by the vast domain of internet and the anonymity that it provides. Counter-terror experts say lack of requisite expertise in cyber security is also a concern. The Saudi link and the activities on social media are phenomena that have surfaced following the recent arrest of IM terrorists in Delhi linked with Pune (Maharashtra) blast of August 1, 2012. The three suspected IM men, arrested on Thursday by the Delhi Police for their alleged involvement in the August 1 Pune serial blasts, had also travelled to Saudi Arabia on a number of occasions and remained in touch with their handlers online

The Union Government suggests setting up of a standing crisis management group (CMG) in each naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)]-affected State for swift response, seeking to formalize negotiations as a uniform policy to deal with hostage situation caused by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The Times of India. The CMG, according to a draft hostage policy formulated by the Union Government, will be led by State chief secretary, who will assess the situation before preparing a counter-strategy that must be approved by the State's political dispensation. As per the draft hostage policy, the CMG in the state facing a hostage situation will set up a panel to negotiate with the Maoists. The panel, apart from comprising representatives of the State Government and independent persons who enjoy Naxals' confidence, will be mandatory to include experts with professional training in handling hostage situations. The ground rules proposed for negotiations require the panel to engage the abductors to ensure that the hostage is safe while in their custody. A possible failure of negotiations has to be factored in at the time of preparing the counter-strategy, and a back-up plan must be in place. The back-up plan will involve action by the Security Forces to rescue the hostages.

Kanglaonline reports that Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) ‘chairman’ Isak Chsi Swu and the outfit’s ‘general secretary’, Thuingaleng Muivah are arriving in Nagaland on October 18 (today) for what they called “home consultations.” The two NSCN-IM leaders will be holding consultations with the Naga civil societies and those who matter in the issue on the unfolding development of the Naga peace talks. However, it is not certain whether the NSCN-IM leaders will meet other Naga militant outfits during their stay in Nagaland this time. The Centre and the NSCN-IM are inching towards a political settlement, ending over five decade long insurgency in the State, reports The Sangai Express on October 17. Political integration of Naga inhabited Districts of neighbouring Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh are not part of the deal under negotiation. The memorandum of settlement being worked out in consultation with the NSCN-IM includes a proposal to convert Nagaland legislature into a bicameral Assembly by creating a second House, autonomous development councils, separate flag for the State, more autonomy, special status, formal recognition of the unique history of the Nagas and a slew of development projects, among others. The Naga militant group had demanded increasing the size of the 60-member Nagaland Assembly by 20 seats. The Centre reckons that bicameral legislature would take care of the demand to accommodate marginal tribal groups and sub-groups. Nagaland Post reports on October 17 that if any solution was arrived at between NSCN-IM and government of India, it would be an “inclusive” one for all Nagas. This was stated by NSCN-IM’s leader T.T. Among. Among also pointed out that while the reconciliation process was home based, the political talk on bringing about a solution to the Naga political issue involved “two nations” (India and Myanmar).

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants in the evening of October 19 attacked an Army convoy in Srinagar on Bypass near Srinagar Railway Station in Jammu and Kashmir and while fleeing through a nearby hotel fired at their staff, killing one of them and injuring two others, reports Daily Excelsior. The 3-4 militants came in a car and targeted an Army convoy outside Silver Star hotel at around 4:20 pm. Inspector General of Police (IGP, Kashmir Range), S M Sahai, said that the initial reports suggested that around 3-4 militants tried to launch an attack on the highway. "After the attack they tried to force their entry into the hotel which they couldn't and fired indiscriminately killing a hotel employee and injuring two others," he added. "There was minor damage to one of the Army vehicles and it seems that they failed to carry out the attack as was planned by them", the Security Agencies said. "It was an Army truck that was targeted by the militants", they said, adding that they feel their target might have been the Army bus which was behind the truck. The militants fled towards the hotel after the attack and forced their way into the lobby. One of the owners of the hotel, Waseem Abbas, said the militants fired just outside the main gate of the hotel and then entered the ground floor of the hotel. "Few shots were fired inside the premises. We are not sure where our staffer was killed but it seems he was taken hostage and later shot dead behind the hotel," said Abbas.

Intelligence officials on October 20 sounded an alert that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) were working on a strategy to open a new corridor between the states of Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand in the coming winter by taking advantage of freezing cold and foggy situation in the forested border region, reports Deccan Chronicle. A Senior Police officer requesting anonymity said, “We have received intelligence reports that the Maoists are planning to regain their ground in north Chhattisgarh regions bordering Jharkhand to open a new corridor between the two states. Security forces usually do not venture into the area in winter due to hostile climate”. According to him, after a long hibernation of almost half-a-decade since they were decimated in north Chhattisgarh, CPI-Maoists have again launched a move to enter the region. Reports reaching from several parts in the region said that the Maoists were trying to befriend with local tribals with various allurements. The locals have, however, so far spurned their overtures and even tipped the forces about their movements in the area.

State Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on October 20 stated that the foreigners or infiltration was not the only major problem faced by the State as some quarters are trying to project it though he admitted that illegal foreigners were indeed present in the State, reports Shillong Times.

Gogoi while providing the figures said, since 1985, 4,52,667 cases of suspected foreigners have been registered with Foreigners Tribunals in the state, of which 1,84,275 cases have been disposed. Out these, 61,774 foreigners have been declared as foreigners. Of these 32,537 cannot be deported since they came between 1966-71 (people who entered during this period cannot be deported.

The CM admitted that the deportation record has been poor and cited the absence of any extradition treaty with Bangladesh as the major impediment. “Bangladesh refuse to acknowledge that these foreigners are their citizens and even talk about involving a neutral party in settling citizenship issues of such people,” Gogoi said.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres were suspected to have abducted four persons, including a gramrakhi (village guard), in separate incidents in Malkangiri and Koraput Districts of Odisha on October 20, reports The Hindu. According to Malkangiri Superintendent of Police (SP) Akhilesh Singh, the abducted persons were Daya Chalan, who was earlier a member of Maoist organisation and Laxman Pangi, a gramrakhi.

Armed Maoists went to the house of the gramrakhi at Badadural village and took him away with them. SP Singh said both these abductions seemed to be the handiwork of a single group. Till the evening of October 21, there was no information regarding the abducted persons. In Koraput District, two persons, including a woman, were suspected to have been abducted by Maoists from Ankadeli.

The Pakistan Army and the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) are coercing Kashmiri militants based in Pakistan occupied-Kashmir (PoK) to fight alongside the Taliban against NATO troops in tribal areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, Deccan Herald reported on October 20. The revelations were made by dozens of militants who returned to Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) via Nepal and other routes during de-briefing by the Police and Indian intelligence agencies, sources said. “More than 150 Kashmiri militants have been sent to Waziristan and other tribal areas to fight alongside the Taliban against NATO troops. Kashmiri militants are being handled by Yousuf Baloch and Bakht Zaman – two Al Badr commanders – in Waziristan,” an unnamed senior intelligence officer stated. A Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant, who recently surrendered before the State Police, revealed that he opted to return after he was forced to go to Waziristan. “The militant told his chief that he will go to Kashmir instead of Waziristan as he feared death there. On arriving, he surrendered,” the officer added. In August, a Kashmiri militant ‘commander’ Ahsan Aziz was one of several terrorists killed in a US drone strike in the Shawal Valley in North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). “After the killing of Aziz, most of the Kashmiri militants based in PoK are hesitant to go to Waziristan and other tribal areas to fight against NATO troops,” sources said and added that most of them belong to North Kashmir. Intelligence sources said there are about 3,000 to 4,000 Kashmiri militants stranded in and around Muzaffarabad.

Maoists are reported to have launched a massive recruitment drive in Malkangiri and Koraput District where sustained Police operations had depleted their cadre strength, reported The Telegraph on October 21. In the past few weeks, camps have been organised in the inaccessible “cut-off” area of Malkangiri District and in parts of Narayanpatna and Bandhugaon blocks of Koraput. Some of these camps, where the new recruits were also subjected to indoctrination in the Maoist ideology, were attended by a large number of tribal youths who have been driven into the lap of the Maoists by unemployment. “The tribals are promised money and weapons, which makes them fall for the offer of the Maoists. The Odisha government has been able to do little about it,” said an officer on anonymity.

Nagaland Post reports on October 22 that, responding to the directives of the Union Government that Manipur play its part in accommodating some points discussed during the negotiations for solution to the Naga political issue, State chief minister O. Ibobi Singh has now insisted that the union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde first give in writing, details or points which the Centre was to agree for a settlement with the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM). Ibobi had said that he was not in a position to oblige the Centre’s wishes to solve the Naga issue unless the “exact points of the agreement” between the Government of India and the NSCN-IM was made known. He said his Government also wished that the talks between the two sides lead to an amicable settlement. Meanwhile, highly placed sources disclosed that at the October 20 meeting with the Shinde, chief minister Ibobi maintained that the Manipur cabinet would be able to “come up with a clear picture” after consulting legal experts of the Indian constitution and the people of Manipur. Both Ibobi and Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Nabum Tumki were summoned to New Delhi under the instructions of the prime minister to give their opinion on the model of agreement that was likely to be worked out.

Police informers who are the eyes and ears of the Security Forces (SFs) combing the dense forests in search of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres are being targeted by the rebels, reports dailymail.co.uk on October 22. In the last few years, the number of informers killed by the Maioists is almost equal to the number of SFs killed in the Maoist-hit states. Sources said in the last four years, on an average, more than 200 informers have been killed every year. According to official records, from 2008 to 2011, 920 informers were killed by the Maoists. The number exceeds 1,000 if one takes into account the killings till October 2012. The number of SF personnel killed from 2008 to 2011 is close to 1,200, while the count of civilians becoming a victim of Left Wing Extremism (LWE) in the same period is 2,270. Of the total civilians killed, 920 have been claimed to be the informers of SFs. The targeting of informers is becoming a major concern for the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). "This appears to be a well-planned strategy of the Maoists. Our forces are always dependent on the locals for information regarding rebels' movement and other operations. By eliminating them, the Maoists are hurting our operations," said a MHA official.

The leaderships of both the Khole-Kitovi faction of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-Khole-Kitovi) and Khaplang faction of NSCN (NSCN-Khaplang) are seriously mulling a strategy of a joint approach for negotiation with the Central Government, reports Nagaland Post. In this regard, it was also learnt that several civil societies were working out modalities to crystallize the idea. One top NSCN-K functionary earlier revealed that both sides had made an approach towards this end but with conditions that certain sacrifices would have to be made in order to effect the proposal. While the NSCN-K functionary did not specify what the “sacrifices” meant; there were however, speculations that the NSCN- Khole-Kitovi wanted the NSCN-K leaders to sever ties with chairman S.S.

The Sangai Express reports that, one day after meeting Union Home Minister Shushil Kumar Shinde on October 20 at New Delhi, an official from the Union Home Minister presented the six point draft proposal to Chief Minister O Ibobi at Manipur Bhawan in the morning of October 21. The six point draft proposal pertains to the settlement which is reported to be close at hand after a prolonged political dialogue between the Centre and the NSCN-IM. Though nothing official has come out as yet, sources from the Home Ministry said that some of the probable alternatives for working out a settlement could hinge around ‘more autonomy’, ‘amendment of the Indian Constitution,’ and ‘areas to be administered under the 6th Schedule of the Constitution’. According to Union Home Ministry sources, a draft proposal has been prepared and the same has been placed before the Chief Minister of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister. The final approval or rather the stamp of agreement by the Chief Ministers of the three States will be the key to the solution being sought, said the sources. Significantly, this is the first time that the Chief Minister of Manipur has been taken into confidence in the long, drawn out process of the peace talk with the NSCN-IM group since 1997.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) issue diktats saying those who do not heed them get either their hands chopped off, or limbs amputated or even have their throats slit, reports The Times of India on October 23. The Maoists are calling all the villagers of the state, hold public meetings or kangaroo court and are announcing the punishment. Inspector General of Police of Ranchi range, M S Bhatia, said. "Such incidents are part of fear tactics which the rebels use to blackmail the villagers. It has nothing to do with any morality. They just want to show to the villagers that they can do whatever they want if the villagers do not heed to the diktats," said Bhatia, who has served as Superintendent of Police (SP) in many Maoist-hit Districts of the state.

Neeraj Kumar, Delhi Police Commissioner, commented "There are several Delhi Police teams, tasked with clamping down on the interstate smuggling of country-made arms, currently camping in Bihar's Munger District - where a majority of these weapons seem to be sourced from." According to a 26-page charge sheet filed by Delhi Police Special Cell in the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Vinod Yadav, on May 19, two country-made pistols, procured from Bihar, were used to fire bullets on a Taiwanese film crew at North Delhi's Jama Masjid on September 19, 2010.

The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on October 26 issued an advisory to nine Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)]-affected States to use Central rehabilitation funds to carry out reverse vasectomies for Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres wanting to return to the mainstream, reports Indian Express. In a communication, the MHA said that “No rehabilitation is complete if Maoist cadres cannot return to normal family life and have children. Hence there is a need to ascertain the status of the surrendered or arrested Maoist cadres and wherever necessary to facilitate their return to normal family life. This process will also reduce the temptation of cadres to return to Maoist fold. Hence, State Governments should consider facilitating vasectomy reversal operations of willing Maoists.” The Union Government has also told states to use the government machinery and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to spread awareness among Maoist cadres that vasectomy was reversible, in the hope that this may motivate them to leave the Naxal fold. “The District administration may be suitably sensitised in this regard... It is suggested that the names and addresses of Maoist cadres who avail of this option should not be disclosed,” the MHA advisory says.

A classified report recently circulated in top government circles revealed that India’s most wanted terrorist and Indian Mujahideen (IM) head, Yasin Bhatkal, is hiding in Bangladesh, having established a good network in Dhaka and Chittagong with the help of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports The Asian Age on November 1, 2012. Indian agencies had zeroed in on Bhatkal via “enhanced technical surveillance” including regular monitoring of some email accounts and chat sites through which Bhatkal was in touch with IM operatives in India. This data was then developed with the aid of field operatives who confirmed Bhatkal’s presence in Dhaka and Chittagong. The Indian agencies have decided to share details of their investigations with Bangladesh’s Directorate-General of Forces Intelligence (DGFI) to help search Bhatkal. But there is also a growing view in New Delhi’s intelligence community that some DGFI officers are extremely close to the ISI and that India should be wary about sharing information with it.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) is deploying the latest technology to ensure the safety and security of its troops in field operations, particularly in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected areas, reported The Hindu on October 31. It has already been monitoring the movement of its personnel in remote areas and deep jungles through global positioning system (GPS), while using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to track the location and movement of Maoists. The CRPF is also in the process of acquiring the latest equipment and machinery to detect improvised explosive devices (IEDs) that cause maximum casualties in the force. “Initially our personnel were not very comfortable with their location and movement being tracked by us, but we managed to convince them it was for their own good,” a senior CRPF officer said. “Through GPS monitoring, we now know their exact location and can reach them in case of an emergency even if they are incommunicado. It is also helping us to alert our troops, thereby giving us tactical advantage over our enemy. And if they face any attack, it will help us provide them immediate reinforcements, besides medical aid and rations,” the officer noted.
