Bangalore Police Commissioner B.G. Jyothi Prakash Mirji, commented "We are certain that Dr Siddiqui played a major role in recruiting and providing logistics and funds to those arrested…. We are checking whether Dr Siddiqui was involved in the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) module that was busted in 2008 in Hubli in Dharwad District of Karnataka and surrounding areas. We suspect a link between the earlier SIMI group, which later reinvented itself as the Indian Mujahideen (IM) after the government banned it.”

Director General of Police (DGP) Ashok Prasad in an interview with Greater Kashmir published on September 1 said that with militancy ebbing away in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), the challenge for State Police has changed from counter-insurgency to law and order. DGP Prasad said that law and order problems are also on decline in J&K and Police Force is taking to normal policing. He urged his men to avoid firing of bullets while dealing with a law and order problem. “If somebody throws a stone, he has to be dealt without showering bullets. The force has to be trained and that is a challenge,” he said. He revealed that J&K has witnessed a fall of 60 percent in militancy related incidents over the preceding year. “Around 150 militants are active all over the state with maximum concentration in Sopore and Tral areas of Valley.” The Police Chief said that a militancy-related incident in the capital city of Srinagar has more impact than in the hinterland. “A grenade attack in Sopore has less impact than in Srinagar, where it catches much media attention and makes headlines,” he said. He said it were the militants in the countryside who come to the city and strike the security installations. “We arrested people in different militancy related incidents and saw that they belonged to other districts, like Pulwama and Ganderbal.”

Minister for Public Health Engineering, Irrigation and Flood Control, Taj Mohi-ud-Din, said on September 1 the attack at the Wullar Lake Project site in the Sopore area of Baramulla District was a direct attack from Pakistan, reports Daily Excelsior. The Minister ruled out that attack is handiwork of local militants. "What have local militants to do with this project?" he asked. He said that Police and officers of the project initially believed that the attack was a localized affair done by extortionists, but "I maintained right from the beginning that it has been done by Pakistan. They only believed me when a timer fitted IED blasted off a shed at the project site in front of these officers at 12:30pm on Tuesday [August 28] when they were analyzing the nature of the attack", he added. He also said that it is second time they targeted the project. "Earlier in 1990 they targeted the Tulbul-Navigation project but couldn't cause any major damage to it as they didn't use dynamite properly. However, they stole 250 ton iron and 2500 bags of cement of that project", said the Minister.

Police are yet to get any conclusive evidence about the reported sighting of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres at Kulkunda near Kukke Subramanya in Dakshina Kannada District on August 31, M.N.

Basic infrastructure development is "very very poor" in north and eastern India, Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh said on September 2 while suggesting that time had come for revisiting strategy of both the Centre and the States for rural areas, reports Zee News. "Right now the big challenge for us is North India and Eastern India. The nature of demand is... People want schools, people want hospitals and clearly power supply. There is also problem of availability of banks and post offices. Basic infrastructure is very poor in North India," Ramesh told Press Trust of India (PTI) after visiting Naxal (Left-Wing Extremism)-affected District of Rohtas in Bihar. The Minister, who reviewed developmental initiatives in the district, said that the healthcare system had completely collapsed in rural India particularly in Naxal-affected Districts. "In the Naxal affected areas even the teachers don't go to schools. There is a need for a larger developmental and coordinated push. For example Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Vidyudtikaran Yojana [Rajiv Gandhi Rural Electrification Scheme] seems to have been a failure in most part of the country. We have to revisit our strategy for rural India," Ramesh said.

In a crackdown on terror modules operating in Karnataka, Bangalore Police arrested one more youth with alleged links to Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), taking the number of those detained to 13, according to Economic Times. The central crime branch wing of Bangalore Police arrested Mohammed Akram (22) on September 1, while he was allegedly trying to flee the city.

One of the prime handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal told investigators that the Karachi control room, from where handlers guided 26/11 terrorists, was set up three days before the attack and was equipped with various gadgets, including laptops and satellite phones, reports The Times of India on September 3. The control room was established on the orders of LeT ‘chief’ Hafiz Saeed in the office of one Abu Yakoob in the locality of Quaidabad in Karachi District in the Sindh Province, between Malir Cantonment and Jinnah International Airport. Jundal further told interrogators that, on November 26, 2008 Shah, Nadeem and Kahafa fasted and regularly inspected the gadgets. During the day, two Pakistani army officers—Major Sameer Ali and Sajid Mir—came to the control room, checked up on everybody and left. Nadeem also left at some point. Around 7pm, LeT ‘commander’ Zaki-Ur-Rahman Lakhvi arrived with Abu Alkama and Abu Wassi, broke their fast and offered namaz. They took dinner at 8pm and switched on the TV. Jundal told investigators that he instructed terrorists Abu Babar Imran and Nasir Abu Umar, who attacked Nariman House in Colaba in Mumbai. As reported earlier, Jundal was arrested on June 21, 2012, by Delhi Police at New Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after being deported from Saudi Arabia.

“very credible” intelligence inputs which indicate that substantial amounts of money was paid to then United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) in order to persuade the outfit to withdraw the ban on the National Games held in Guwahati. RN Ravi, a retired Special Director of the Intelligence Bureau (IB), made this disclosure. Ravi said that according to intelligence reports, ULFA first demanded an amount of INR 30 crore from Larson& Turbo (L&T), which seriously affected the construction work of the National Games venues. This threat put the Games in jeopardy and there was a big question mark on the Games. There was also a question mark on the ability of the State to hold the games peacefully, but later, a few politicians bought peace by arranging for payment of a substantial amount to the ULFA. He said that according to available intelligence inputs, an amount of INR 15 crore was paid to the ULFA to buy peace. However, there is no proof to indicate that the Government was directly involved in the entire deal. Ravi further said that there have been instances of political leaders maintaining links with militants in Nagaland and Manipur and even in Arunachal Pradesh. He said that the situation in Tripura has improved in the last seven or eight years as the political leaders have stopped maintaining links with the ultras after militancy is now on the

A Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadre in Jamshedpur Jail, when interrogated by Jharkhand Police, confessed to handing over INR 200,000 to Choton Das, a human rights activist who was named by West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee as one of six interlocutors in July 2011 and whose job in Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) was also restored by her order, reports Hindustan Times. Das is also state secretary of the Bandi Mukti Committee in West Bengal, and the money Pradip Gayen handed over to him was extorted from a contractor working on a project on Subarnarekha River. Police maintain that Gayen alias Benoy Das was formerly a member of Bandi Mukti Committee. However, Das denied having taken any money from Gayen, whom he denied knowing, or any Maoist whatsoever. “I did not receive any money from Maoists. Our organisation, Bandi Mukti Committee, never collects money from any party, or other organisation. This is a false allegation framed by the police and the person concerned. A senior officer of the West Bengal police contacted me on the telephone and told me the name of the arrested Maoist. I do not know any such person,” Das told Hindustan Times.

Defense Minister A.K. Antony in a written reply to the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament) on September 3 said that India has conveyed its concerns to China about its activities in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK), reports Daily Excelsior. "Government has conveyed its concerns to China about their activities in PoK and asked them to cease such activities," he said, adding, the Government is aware of the Chinese infrastructure development along the border and in PoK. He also said India has asked the Chinese Government to cease such activities in PoK. On border issue with China, he said, "China disputes the international boundary with India. There is no common delineated Line of Actual Control (LAC) between the two countries. Both sides patrol up to their respective perceptions of LAC. Chinese patrolling up to their perception of LAC is treated as transgression." Antony, however, denied there has been any Chinese "intrusion" into the Indian Territory during the last three years. Providing details of the places where Indian lands are under Chinese occupation, Antony said, "Indian territory under occupation by China in Jammu and Kashmir since 1962 is approximately 38,000 sq km. In addition to this, under the so called China-Pakistan Boundary Agreement of 1963, Pakistan illegally ceded 5,180 sq km of Indian territory in PoK to China." In the eastern sector also, China illegally claims approximately 90,000 square kilometers of Indian Territory in Arunachal Pradesh, the Minister said. In reply to a query over Chinese naval presence in Indian Ocean Region (IOR), he said the Government is aware of projects like port development and deep sea mining by China.

Fearing flare up in anger among the people in border villages against repeated intimidations by the Chinese Army, the Jammu District administration has urged the State Government to immediately take up this contentious issue with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) so that development works in the areas bordering China don’t fall prey to threats from the forces of the neighboring country. Even the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) has also been approached for stepping up security in the border villages to check unwarranted interference from across the LAC. Official sources said that following abandoning of work on construction of irrigation canal Kuyul Gonbo Yardol at Phukchey due to threats from Chinese Army personnel in the month of July 2012, there has been wide-spread resentment among the people of numerous villages against repeated intimidations from across the LAC and they have impressed upon the District administration as well as Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) to immediately get the unwarranted interference from the Chinese Army checked in order to prevent the situation from turning worst in future. Work on the irrigation canal was started in 2005-06 at an estimated cost of INR 6.38 million under Border Area Development Programme (BADP) Scheme. The source of the canal is River Indus and the work was started mainly for the development of pasture in Phukchey area.

Left Wing Extremists are targeting Rajasthan for fund-raising activities through dacoities and extortion in a bid to step up their operations in Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Odisha, top intelligence sources revealed on September 3, reports The Pioneer. Sources say they also have the plan to include Rajasthan in the ‘Red corridor’. Police have arrested two persons in the July 18 case of dacoity in the State capital. During interrogation, they revealed that they are from Bihar and were sent by their leader to Rajasthan to collect funds. Both have links with Maoists. Earlier, Police had arrested two other persons in a similar case of dacoity in January in the State. Their leader Rahul Singh managed to escape. Police had gone to his village Badiapur in Jamui District of Bihar and were told by local police officials there that the entire village is known as a ‘Naxal village’. They were trying to find out the background and possible links of Rahul Singh with Naxal organisations. About four years back, Intelligence sleuths had submitted a report to the Government in which it was stated that Districts like Banswara, Dungarpur and Pratapgarh were home to Naxal elements from Chhattisgarh who were entering the area in search of safe hideouts. In Districts like Jhalawar, Dhaulpur and Karauli, which are close to Madhya Pradesh, Naxal elements were trying to build their network.

Officials are gathering evidence to establish that Abdul Hakeem Jamadar, 25, and Dr Zafar Iqbal Sholapur, 27, went to Pakistan through a circuitous Middle East route, including Iran, not reflected on their passports. The fact that they were able to connect to the terror set-up in Pakistan through conduits in Saudi Arabia is being viewed seriously. Investigators believe the group was also in the process of sending more people to Pakistan. Saudi Arabia-based Abdul Majid, a brother of Shahid Bilal (HuJI ‘commander’) and Abdul Samad (both reported killed in Pakistan in August 30, 2007), is believed to have been the key link in connecting the terror suspects to the LeT network in Pakistan for training.

Tension again flared up on the International Border (IB) at Chechwal in Samba sector of Samba District after Pakistan not allowing the Border Security Force (BSF) to carry out further work on the tunnel ahead of border fencing fearing that it would be exposed as Security Forces had detected that tunnel was leading toward Pakistan, Daily Excelsior reported on September 4. Official sources confirmed that work on further digging of the tunnel by the BSF authorities between border fencing and zero line has been stopped in anticipation of firing by the Pakistani Rangers. The BSF had managed to dig earth ahead of fencing and was nearing Zero Line when the Rangers objected to the work and wanted it to be stopped.

A case of seizure of arms, narcotics, Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) and Pakistani phones from Amritsar in Punjab in July, 2012 has been transferred to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) for investigation into a suspected larger conspiracy by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), as reported on September 5, by The Times of India. The accused have been identified as one Dilbagh Singh, his son Bikramjit Singh and one Gurpartap Singh. Sources said the trio has been indulging in smuggling for a long time. Investigations have also found a unique modus operandi in the case. Pakistani associates of the accused would conceal the consignments under earth on zero line - an area on the border that belongs to neither India nor Pakistan, but is frequented by people living near the frontier on both sides. At an appropriate time, said sources, when Border Security Force (BSF) patrolling would be thin in the area, the accused would fish out the consignment and take it to clients. Sources said the proposal to hand over the case to NIA was moved by Punjab Police. "The home ministry has given its nod and a fresh case will now be filed by the NIA," said an official.

A suspected cadre of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) was killed in an encounter in the forests around Kulkunda, near Kukke Subramanya, in Dakshina Kannada District on September 5, reports The Hindu. According to Anti-Naxal Force (ANF) officials, around 2 a.m., personnel patrolling in the forests spotted a group of alleged Maoists and opened fire. One died on the spot, while the others fled. ANF Inspector-General of Police Alok Kumar said the Maoists returned fire. The ANF did not report any injuries. “We are still uncertain about the identity of the Maoist killed. Operations have been intensified to find the others still in the forests,” said Kumar. After the brief encounter, the ANF intensified combing operations and unearthed a camp. Though only a country-made rifle was found at the camp — and a weapon seized from the slain person — the forces also found pamphlets about Maoist ideology in Tamil and Kannada. Sources said the man killed was aged around 35, and was probably from Kerala or Tamil Nadu.

The Border Security Force (BSF) identified spots along India's boundary with Pakistan and Bangladesh vulnerable to crime, illegal migration and border firing, as reported on September 5, by The Times of India. The highest number of such spots is in West Bengal on the eastern side and Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab on the western border. Along the 2,308 km border with Pakistan, there are 51 vulnerable Border out posts (BOPs), 28 in Jammu and 23 in Punjab. Smuggling of narcotics and weapons were detected through Punjab's vulnerable BOPs. The BSF plans to build 286 more BOPs, 198 along India's border with Bangladesh and 88 with Pakistan. Along the 4,096.70 km India-Bangladesh border, the BSF marked 112 of its 987 BOPs spread across five states as vulnerable. Of them, 67are along West Bengal's 2,200 km border with Bangladesh. They are hotbed of infiltration, human trafficking, cattle smuggling and circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs). Between January-July 31, BSF arrested 591 infiltrators on the India-Bangladesh border. Of them, 397 were arrested in Bengal, 113 in Tripura and 22 in Assam. The BSF identified 11 vulnerable BOPs in Assam, 13 in Meghalaya, one in Mizoram and two in Tripura. The major problem in Assam's 11 vulnerable BOPs is circulation of FICN and cattle smuggling, especially in Dhubri District, said a BSF officer. "After the vulnerability mapping, we have mobilized extra resources, including more weapons, ammunition and vehicles, to these BOPs…. But, Bangladesh is not forthcoming on joint patrolling”. said a BSF officer.

The Kuki National Organisation (KNO) has threatened to call off its seven-year truce with the Union and Manipur Government if a political dialogue is not started within three months, reports The Telegraph on September 3. The demand comes at a time when talks with the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) have reached a crucial juncture. Both are competing for over-lapping territories, claims that had led to large scale violence in 1993. “The Manipur government unilaterally extended the suspension of operations (SoO) agreement (on August 30) for only three months, citing violation of ground rules by cadres. We signed the agreement but our stand is that if a dialogue is not started we will abrogate the SoO,” KNO spokesperson Seilen Haokip said. The outfit signed the tripartite suspension of operations in 2005. The KNO claims a Zale’-gam (Land of freedom) that includes large parts of Manipur’s hills under one administrative unit within the Indian constitutional framework.

A senior officer commented, "It's a matter of concern for the government. In the recent past, most of the terrorists arrested by law enforcing agencies are from these districts. It's high time that we step up our vigil, otherwise it will be too late”. It was found that activists of the banned Students Islamic movement of India (SIMI), Indian Mujahideen (IM) and certain organisations from neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, were focusing on the Marathwada region and were being funded from across the border. After the arrest of one of the prime handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) found that most of the persons, who have been detained so far, did visit Pakistan for training or were trained locally by those who had visited the country. "We are closely watching the situation in Marathwada. We are sure we can break the nexus between members of the banned outfit and their Pakistani counterparts,'' the officer further added.

Delivering the inaugural address at a three day annual meet in New Delhi of Police Directors General and Inspectors General from States and Central Police Forces, Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on September 6 said that Naxalism (Left-Wing Extremism) continues to pose "significant challenge" as confidence levels of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) are exhibited in their ability to move in larger formations, hold 'jan adalats', obstruct thoroughfares and recover levies, reports NDTV. Seven states are experiencing different levels of intensity of this problem. However, nearly 80 per cent of Naxal violence is taking place in less than 30 districts and many of them are close to inter-state boundaries," he said. The Home Minister said there are indicators about increase in the number of trained and armed cadres, re-organisation of military potential for formation of new battalions, and the creation of well-developed indigenous capacity for accretion to their arsenal.

In view of the forthcoming Panchayat election and to ensure and conduct a peaceful election, all licensed gun owners are directed to submit their guns at their police station on or before 9 September 2012. The order, directed as per power conferred under Arms Act 1959 came following the announcement made by the Election Commission to conduct the Panchayat election on 13 September, 2012. Also, following several complaints raised by different section of the society over the increasing numbers and frequency of surrenders of militant outfits taking place, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) directed the concerned authorities that no surrender of any militants should take place until proper and appropriate verifications are made prior to the official surrender. A reliable source said, the move to verify the status of the militant outfit came from MHA after suspicion and complaints of fake or false surrender were reported. Some of them wanted to get the benefits from the Government after claiming or posing themselves as militants, the sources added. On the other hand, family members complained that they were simply arrested and does not belong to any militant group. Currently, there are 54 more militant cadres attached to several units of Army, Matripukhri (Imphal East) waiting to surrender officially.

Inaugurating a three-day long conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of Police organized by Intelligence Bureau, Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on September 6 said in New Delhi that cyberspace had become another tool in the hands of terrorists who post "motivated rumours" in social networking sites thereby creating a new challenge to the security forces in the country, reports NDTV. "There is increasing evidence of resort taken by terrorists to the cyberspace domain. The recent incident in Bengaluru in Karnataka, Pune in Maharashtra and other states of the country where motivated rumours and irresponsible use of the social media networking media posed a new challenge," he said. He lauded the agencies for busting 19 terrorists modules across the country since January 2011.

India is vulnerable to the global nature of terrorist strikes, Intelligence Bureau (IB) Chief Nehchal Sandhu has said, on September 6, citing the attack on an Israeli diplomat’s vehicle on February 13, 2012 at New Delhi, reports Indian Express. Sandhu said the terrorist attack on the diplomat’s vehicle indicated that India is becoming a hub for global terrorists seeking to target foreigners in the country. “This incident brings to the fore the need to be sensitive to the trends developing in the sphere of international terrorism and an effective international cooperation is needed to prevent such attacks on Indian soil,” Sandhu said. The arrests of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) terror modules in Karnataka and subsequent investigations on the case exposed the vulnerability of the Indian youth to the radical elements, he said. He urged the top police officers to focus on counter-radicalisation and de-radicalisation policy. Through counter-radicalisation, security agencies should proactively neutralise radical elements. He also said terror modules of LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) are still active along the border. He also called for Centre’s help and technical support to tackle cyber terrorism in states that do not have enough infrastructure to thwart such activities.

Intelligence Bureau (IB) Chief Nehchal Sandhu on September 6 said terror groups focusing on Punjab and neighbouring states posed a challenge, reports The Tribune. He commented, “Given the sort of external support they receive, terrorist groups — including those focusing on Punjab and neighbouring states — are likely to pose a challenge”. IB sources said it had inputs that Pakistan-based Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) ‘chief’ Wadhawa Singh Babbar’s group was making efforts to destabilise Punjab. Fresh inputs also indicate that Jagtar Tara, one of the three assassins of late Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh who is absconding following his escape from a Chandigarh jail in 2004, was playing an active role in trying to revive militancy. Groups such as Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) and Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) are also working to make an impact in Punjab.

Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister (CM), Omar Abdullah in an interview to Hindustan Times stated that his efforts to revoke Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from certain areas of the State faced opposition from the Army. He further described Army’s concern as misplaced.CM Omar Abdullah said “My logic is: look, there are certain areas in the state today where the army is not conducting anti-insurgency operations. There, you can safely hand over the charge to the state police and the CRPF. But we hit a roadblock”. When asked to explain the delay, Abdullah said, “The political leadership in Delhi doesn’t want to overrule the army. I believe the army’s concerns are misplaced. The senior brass of the army is being overly conservative. I need to convince them and I am working on that”.

With the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) failing to take off, the Government is aiming to give more teeth to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to crack down on terror outfits such as the banned Indian Mujahideen (IM), reports The Times of India. In a clear pointer to its intent, the Union Home Ministry has asked the country's premier terror agency to lodge a fresh FIR against the outfit with its absconding members as accused. The Government is rattled by recurring attacks from IM operatives, the latest suspected to be the Pune blasts on August 1, and is embarking on a new approach to crack down on the outfit's network and cross-border infrastructure. The NIA FIR, likely to be filed soon, will not focus on any specific event but the larger nationwide designs and conspiracy by the outfit to wage war against the country. This will help NIA to take up any incident related to the outfit and freely conduct investigations.

An increase in the activities of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in Dakshina Kannada District indicated that the Left Wing Extremists were working towards their plan of creating a corridor along the Western Ghats from the northern tip to Wayanad in Kerala, a Police officer, who had served in the region, said, reports The Hindu. The officer, now on central deputation, said that in 2006 the Maoists devised the plan to spread their activities in the Western Ghats. The increase in the number of sighting of Maoists in Dakshina Kannada indicated the creation of that corridor, he said. “It is a matter of concern. There are reports of Maoist groups recruiting people from Tamil Nadu and Kerala. They have planned to spread till Wayanad,” he said. The officer said the Maoist activities in Dakshina Kannada were earlier restricted to higher reaches of Belthangady taluk. The Maoists were now seen adopting an organised approach for achieving their objective. “They are conducting many training camps. Some of them have been busted by the police,” the officer said. Another senior officer, who was involved in many anti-Naxal operations, said that unlike Maoists operating in Andhra Pradesh and Jharkhand, the groups operating in the region had not been involved in overt activities and attacks. The Maoist groups here had not been able to establish their base here despite operating in the region for more than 10 years, the second officer said. At least three groups of Maoists were said to be active in Karnataka. One group was led by B.G. Krishnamurthy and the second one was led by Vikrama Gowda, said the officer. The third one was less active, and its leader was not known, he said. Inspector-General of Police (Western Range) Pratap Reddy said recent encounters, including the one in Mittabagilu in Belthangady in March and near pilgrimage centre Srigeri, pointed to operations by Maoists from Tamil Nadu and Kerala. He said there was not much support for these groups from local people. The Police were receiving information about Maoists presence from people, which was helping in busting their designs.

Four factions of Kangleipak Communist Party (KCP), who have signed an agreement for peace talk with the Centre, were likely to surrender en-masse to the Government. After signing a peace agreement with the Centre on 31 July, leadership of the four factions of KCP – KCP- Taibanganba, KCP-Lamphel, KCP-City Meetei and KCP-Pakhanglakpa -were engaged in talks with officials of the Manipur Government to chalk out modality of the peace dialogue and ground rule to be maintained by the cadres of the factions during the peace talk. A consensus has been arrived between the leaderships of the four KCP factions and State Government regarding the modality of the peace talk and ground rule in recent series of talks in Imphal in August, an official source said September 8 All cadres who entered the designated camp will lay down their arms and explosives in a “home coming” ceremony to be organized by the state government. Government would provide all facilities that can be availed by a surrender militant under the existing surrender policy of the state government as per the agreement, the source disclosed.

In the annual Director General of Police (DGPs’) conference being held in New Delhi, for the first time it was officially declared that Indian Mujahideen (IM) 'has Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) patronage’, reports The Deccan Chronicle on September 8. The Police top brass across India has been warned that the IM’s resurgence is taking place with new modules set up in New Delhi and Bihar. The Delhi Police, in a conference presentation on September 7, said the IM was targeting disenchanted youth comprising 'petty criminals' and 'highly-paid software professionals' for assembling bombs, Internet hacking and is extensively using social networking sites to avoid detection. The banned outfit is also picking 'normal cosmopolitan-looking cadres' to give the security forces the slip. Many inter-state modules of IM are said to exist in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Kerala. Posing a challenge for investigators, it is revealed that IM modules are entirely unconnected, and that even within a module strict observance of the 'need to know' principle is observed. The IM also has a substantial flow of funds from other countries routed illegally via hawala (illegal money transfer) channels, the Delhi Police claimed. Top IM leaders like Iqbal and Riyaz Bhatkal and several others are believed to have escaped via Bangladesh and Nepal to Pakistan and the UAE, from where they can direct cadres in India. The Delhi Police has also warned that the IM is trying to steer clear of known criminals and identifiable former Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) men so that they stay off the police radar, and hunting for new recruits through innocuous religious platforms in cities like Pune (Maharashtra) and Mangalore (Karnataka).

Jammu and Kashmir Police have started the process of "rationalising" the village defence committees (VDCs) after the waning of militancy in the state, reports Greater Kashmir. The process will involve a review of the need for these committees, and stock-taking of the weapons allotted. An unnamed Police official said: "There are reports of impropriety by the VDC members, by way of misuse of weapon or accidental firing due to lack of ability. We have thus started the process of review and rationalisation. The weapons were given to VDC members many years ago. So there is now a need to account for them," adding, the Police have authorized a gazetted officer in the different areas to conduct a physical verification of the weapons and ammunition given to VDC members. "There is also a need to see if the VDC member who has been given arms is in a good frame of mind, and capable of handling the weapon responsibly," he further added. The VDCs were formed in remote militancy-infested parts of Jammu in the mid 1990s to fight militants. Groups of able-bodied volunteers of the village were given arms and trained to fight militants by the government. There are about 5,000 VDC members who have Police weapons in different areas of Jammu.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has informed the Maharashtra government's Home Department that Dawood Ibrahim's gang played a vital role in the violence at Azad Maidan in Mumbai on August 11, 2012, as reported on September 8 by asiantribune.com. IB information is based on information collected through intercepts of international telephonic conversations. IB officials who analysed the telephonic intercepts have identified the telephone numbers and voices of known underworld members lodged abroad. All information related to how the violence at Azad Maidan was planned and executed has been handed over to Maharashtra Home Minister R.R. Patil. An analysis of intercepts of international phone calls made from two cities in Pakistan to some mobile phones in Mumbai exposed the underworld's role in the violence. Intelligence officials have drawn the conclusion that underworld gang members were given specific instructions on how to mix with protestors who had taken out a rally, how to start the violence and whom to target. "The motive was to cause chaos and possibly instigate communal riots in other parts of the city", the official said.

The Prime Minister pointed out that improvement in the security environment resulted in a successful Amarnath Yatra this year [2012], while there had been a major improvement in the influx of tourists, adds The Hindu. Compared to 500000 tourists in 2011, over 900000 tourists have already visited this year [2012]. “The State has also successfully conducted the panchayat elections and is now poised to take up the responsibility of conducting elections to the urban local bodies,” he added.

The hunt for Maoists will be intensified with the deployment of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which will track the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in the Visakhapatnam Agency area for the benefit of special party Police who are finding it difficult to take up combing operations in the hilly terrain of Andhra-Orissa Border (AOB) during monsoon season, reports Times of India. Security forces tested the UAV in the AOB twice last month. The UAV scanned the extremists' hideouts and their passages in the AOB in general and Malkangiri in particular, sources said. The police operated the UAV from Hyderabad and not from Madhurapudi airport in Rajahmundry, as the requisite monitoring system has not been installed there yet, the sources said. Sources said as per the tracking of UAV, Maoists are on the move in the border areas of Malakangiri District and Bandugaon, Narayanapatna and Lakshmipur in Koraput District. It may be recalled that a decision to deploy the UAV was first taken in November 2011.

A highly-specialised cyber division of Pakistan’s the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has been assigned the task of training operatives of militant outfits in the use of cyber technology, as reported on September 10, by Deccan Herald. The ISI’s cyber experts are visiting training camps of militant outfits like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the Indian Mujahideen (IM) most of which are located in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) to train their cadre in use of computers. These details form part of a classified note which was discussed during the high level security review meeting of DGPs/IGPs that concluded in the capital on September 8. According to the note, “the ISI is now working on a bigger gameplan in training terrorists in the use of cyber and computer technology as the Pakistani agency feels India is not fully equipped in dealing with incidents of cyber war or attack.’’ Importantly, the note states that the training given to subversive elements by ISI’s cyber experts played a key role in spreading the hate campaign through MMS and SMSes targeting people from the Northeast in wake of ethnic violence in Assam. And this trend will only increase in the days to come and it is for this reason that ISI has stressed upon militant outfits to recruit more educated youth, it adds. “It is almost certain that the Pakistani agency was behind the recent cyber attack on India, at least indirectly. Having tasted success they will try it again in future and on a much bigger scale. So we must be prepared to deal with this challenge,’’ a senior intelligence official said.

Bangalore Police have arrested nine persons with Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) with face value of INR 4 million and three carbine sten guns, six pistols and 60 bullets, on September 10, reports dnaindia.com. They were arrested from a lodge at SR Nagar. The police are not sure whether the weapons are made in India or abroad as there is no label on them. City Police commissioner BG Jyothi Prakash Mirji said they would send the arms to Forensic Science Lab to try to find where the weapons were made. ACP (Ulsoor) Nyamagowda said the arrested persons have revealed names of a few people who stay in West Bengal from whom they claim to have received the weapons. However, they have not yet told from whom they received the fake notes. Of the nine who were arrested, six hail from a place near India-Bangladesh border.

IM is out to resurrect the outfit by dumping former cadres of the Students Islamic Movement of India and starting recruitments afresh, the Delhi Police have warned. These youths are fresh faces and have had no connection with any other group; the IM is looking for such persons to take into their fold, a Delhi Police officer said. Looking at the latest dossier on the IM, it becomes clear that the outfit is not entirely operating on Indian soil. Earlier, the entire leadership was in India and was a home grown outfit, which relied heavily on former cadres of the SIMI However, today there is a shift in that pattern. The IM has deliberately decided to leave out former cadres of the SIMI, as the Police and the intelligence have a file on each former SIMI member

In an assessment of armed cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) in the State, the Odisha Police has found that between 70 and 80 per cent of them do not belong to the State, reports The Indian Express. Around 50 per cent of the total armed cadres belong to the Andhra-Odisha Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) operating in Koraput and Malkangiri Districts, a senior paramilitary officer said. The study also put the total number of armed Maoist cadre in Odisha at a little over 500. While many of them joined the outfit as recently as six months ago, some have been members for 30 years. The firearms they use range from single barrel muzzle loader to AK-47 and 9 mm pistol. “It’s the first time we could build a complete profile of Maoist cadres operating inside Odisha and the kind of firearms they use, their sociological background, their aliases, how long they have been operating in Odisha etc,” said an official at the home department. Only Andhra Pradesh has done such a profile of its Maoists so far. Officers admitted that the real numbers could be higher as there is a lot of movement from other states to Odisha, particularly from Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. There may be other Maoists offering cover to actual armed cadres whose number hasn’t been calculated. The AOBSZC is the biggest, with an estimated 240-250 cadres. The second biggest committee is Dandakaranya Zonal Committee, which has around 100 armed cadres, mostly from Chhattisgarh. The third biggest zonal committee is the Orissa State Organising Committee, which has around 80 armed cadres. Officials said Odisha Maovadi Party formed by the recently expelled Sabyasachi Panda may not have more than 20 armed cadres.

The charge sheet filed by the special cell of the Delhi Police in the court of chief metropolitan magistrate Vidya Prakash has named alleged LeT militant Ahtisham Farooq Malick and three others - Shafaqat Ali Tuggu, Tawseef Ahmed Peer and Saijee Anwar as accused.

Those named as suspects are Jammu and Kashmir resident Usman and seven Pakistani nationals Hanzala, Furkan, Mohsin, Waleed, Javed, Qari and Hamja. The court has already issued open non-bailable warrants against them. The Police said in its charge sheet that it had received on February 27 a secret information from a central intelligence agency about arrival of LeT militant Ahtisham in Delhi for executing terrorist strikes at various sites here. It said Ahtisham was staying with Shafaqat at Tuglaqabad and both of them were apprehended and a bag, recovered from Ahtisham, was found containing explosive material.

The charge sheet said Ahtisham also disclosed that his mentor and LeT ‘commander’ Hanzala, named as a suspect in the charge sheet, had given him the task to conduct blast at major shopping areas in Delhi and he motivated Shafaqat for the task and procured improvised explosive device (IED) and explosives from old Delhi area. He also named Tawseef, who was arrested from Jharkhand.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing a terror funding racket of banned Sikh separatist outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) being allegedly run from the United Kingdom (UK) to commit terrorist acts in India, Zee News reported on September 10. The case was registered on August 22 under section 6 (5) of NIA Act, 2008 which authorises the central government to direct the investigating agency to probe a scheduled offense. Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde told reporters on September 10, "These operatives have been receiving funds from the United Kingdom-based Babbar Khalsa International to commit terrorist acts in India with active material and logistic support from Pakistan-based BKI leaders." Union Ministry of Home Affairs sources said the intelligence agencies have found fresh evidences where BKI leaders in Pakistan and the UK were laundering money through various channels in their bid to carry out terror acts. "About Rs 100 crore [1 billion] is understood to have been transferred illegally from the UK to BKI leaders. A chain involving BKI henchmen in Pakistan and the UK have been traced. The agency is trying to ascertain the identity of the BKI members," a source said. Besides, the sources said, the BKI leaders were using social networking sites and fictious portals to generate funds for their terror-related activities. "There have been over a dozen suspected websites and numerous accounts on social networking sites allegedly involved in funding to BKI. All of them are being checked by the authorities," the source said.

Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMHA) Sushil Kumar Shinde on September 10 made it clear that the controversial National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) would be set up only after thorough discussions with Chief Ministers (CMs) who are opposing it, reports The Hindu. “Yes, I am going into details. I would like to discuss with the states, with the Chief Ministers. This is a good move but we have to discuss with the Chief Ministers,” he said. According to the new plan, NCTC will be kept out of the ambit of the Intelligence Bureau and will be an independent entity directly reporting to the UMHA. Besides, the anti—terror body will conduct operations on its own only if there is an urgency or in rare cases. According to the earlier proposal, the Multi Agency Centre (MAC) and the operations wing of the Intelligence Bureau were earmarked for NCTC and the UMHA had passed an ordinance making the new anti-terror body a nodal organisation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).

As part of its drive against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), the Jharkhand Police has replaced all the .303 rifles with INSAS for its combat forces, reports Business Standard. Informing that the State Police were being equipped with modern gadgets every month, Additional Director General of Police (Training & Modernisation) Bibhuti Bhusan Pradhan said recently a few new anti-landmine vehicles were added to the already over 100 such vehicles to scourge into the deep forests during anti-Maoist operations. Asserting that the Maoists were on back foot, Pradhan said Jharkhand has been the leading state in the fight against the left-wing guerrillas. "Even the MHA [Ministry of Home Affairs] has said that Jharkhand is the number one state fighting against the Maoists. Of course, we have suffered casualties, but we have pushed them on the back foot," he added.

Calling Indian Mujahedeen (IM) a "start to finish jihad factory", security agencies have asked country's Police brass to watch out for the outfit, which continues to be on a "talent scouting" spree, emboldened by tacit support of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and its labyrinthine networks in various cities of Uttar Pradesh (UP), Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala and Delhi, reports The Times of India. Referring to 40 "missing" youth of Maharashtra, who might have gone underground after joining IM, the central agencies asked top Policemen to look for their whereabouts. It is suspected that some of the youth might have joined the outfit during its routine recruitment drive. While "innocuous religious platforms" like Quran Foundation, Pune (Maharashtra); and Islamic Guidance Centre, Mangalore (Karnataka), among other similar institutions are happy hunting ground for its cadres, IM's primary targets are disenchanted Muslim youth —ranging from petty criminals to well-heeled software professionals. The agencies, in their presentation on IM, noted that recruitment of IT professional Mansoor Ali Mohammed Peerbhoy was a prized catch for the outfit. He was enlisted while he studying Arabic at Quran Foundation. Peerbhoy, a Yahoo executive-turned-media chief of IM, who was arrested in 2008, had lured a number of educated youth to IM's fold. Recruitments of Arif Badar, improvised explosive device (IED) assembly and micro-chip based timer expert, and Mobin, internet hacking expert, were cited as cases in point of how budding talents were identified and trained as terrorists through fiery and emotive taqrirs (speeches) and attitude hardening dars (lessons). It was noted that "brainwashing through doctored pictorials and videos, such as, that of Godhra and Babri Masjid incidents" was very common in taqrirs and dars. It is also noted that IM doesn't have a defined structure. Its top leaders run the show from safe havens not only in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia but also in Nepal and the UAE (Dubai and Sharjah). It has "substantial corpus of money" having funding sources based in Kuwait, Riyadh, Chicago and various cities in Pakistan. Though IM came to notice for the first time when it sent e-mail to media houses ahead of serial blasts in Faizabad, Lucknow and Varanasi in UP in November, 2007, its genesis - the note says - goes back to 2000. At that time, IM was largely involved in talent spotting, motivation and training of Indian youth in Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and ISI facilities to lend credence to the "homegrown terror" concept.

Concerned at the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) augmenting its strike capabilities and getting more organised, the Centre wants the Chief Ministers of the worst Maoist-affected States of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Odisha to head their unified commands to deal with the threat more effectively, reports The Hindu. “In the past two years, these unified commands have been virtually lying defunct. They were supposed to meet once every month, but so far this year, not a single meeting has been organised by these States. At the three-day State police chiefs’ meeting held last week, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed concern at the problem… and asked the affected States to make the unified command more effective in dealing with the problem of left-wing extremism,” a senior official of the Home Ministry told The Hindu. A special session on the problem at the conference concluded that the Chief Ministers of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Odisha should head the unified commands, instead of their Chief Secretaries. “Soon, we will be sending formal requests to these Chief Ministers… to head their unified commands for better coordination of … operations… It will also help in effective monitoring of development projects being carried out in these States,” the official said. The Cabinet Committee on Security decided in 2010 to set up the unified command in each of the worst-affected Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal for carrying out planned operations; the command was expected to meet at least once every month. However, in the past two years, as against 24 meetings, Odisha’s command has met a mere six times. But the performance of the others has been the worst: while Chhattisgarh has held just two meetings (one each in 2010 and 2011 and is yet to organise one in 2012), the command has met just three times in both West Bengal (once in 2010 and twice in 2011) and Jharkhand (thrice in 2010).

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to lodge a fresh FIR against the Indian Mujahedeen (IM) naming all the absconding members as accused, reports The Times of India. The NIA FIR, likely to be filed soon, won't focus on any specific incident but the larger conspiracy hatched by IM to wage war against the country. This will help the agency to take up any incident related to the outfit and freely conduct investigations. Sources said the FIR would have names of about a dozen absconding IM members, including those holed up in Pakistan. IM founders Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal, Amir Reza Khan (all hiding in Pakistan) would be charged along with Ahmed Zarar Siddibappa alias Yasin Bhatkal, Mohsin Chaudhary, Mirza Baig, Bada Sajid, Dr Shahnawaz, Ariz Khan, Abu Rashid and a few others, said sources. An unnamed official from the UMHA said, "While state agencies have had good success in breaking the outfit's network in recent years, it is still carrying out blasts with impunity. Hence, we need to move from event-specific investigations to a nationwide approach to neutralize it." "The idea of an open FIR is to emphasize that NIA is supposed to investigate national conspiracies and neutralize terror modules across India," said another official from the security establishment.

To counter the new tactics of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) of using villagers as “human shields” in encounters to discredit the Security Forces (SFs), the Government has framed fresh guidelines, reports The Asian Age. These guidelines, to be circulated soon to Central paramilitary units and State Governments, for the first time call for use of non-lethal weapons and seek deployment of snipers to target armed Maoists hiding behind “human shields”. Central paramilitary units will no longer operate independently under the new guidelines, it will be mandatory for them to undertake anti-Maoist operations with local Police forces well versed with the area. The new standard operating procedures (SOPs) require the forces to carry pump action guns, stun grenades, teargas shells and rubber bullets when villagers in large numbers gather in support of Naxalites. “Teargas is a very potent assent to temporarily incapacitate active enemy volunteers,” the SOPs say.

Citing highly placed sources reports that at least 500 people living in relief camps of Bodoland Territorial Autonomous District (BTAD) areas fled Assam after authorities started checking their identity documents and land records before allowing them to be rehabilitated. “We have reports that these people have crossed over to Bangladesh fearing detection as they did not have any document to proof their identity of being Indian,” a source said. Though initially there were reports that several thousand people living in relief camps went missing, later after verification it was found that around 500 inmates went missing from relief camps, sources added. Currently, an estimated two 200, 000 affected people were living in around 215 relief camps in Assam.

Police on September 12 arrested three persons, including a former militant, Mohammad Azam, who was at that time speaking to his bosses in Pakistan using SIM card of a Pakistan telecom company Zhang, on Mandi-Poonch road in Poonch District. Pakistan had raised towers of almost all mobile telecom companies close to the Line of Control (LoC) on their side to ensure that the areas close to the LoC in twin border districts of Poonch and Rajouri received signals on this side to help militants and Over Ground Workers (OGWs) speaking across the LoC. It may be mentioned here that the ISD calls from Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan and PoK are barred in view of security considerations. Pakistan agencies have devised new method of helping militants and OGWs to call to their mentors in Pakistan and PoK by supplying them Pakistani SIM cards through their couriers on the LoC or using other methods of smuggling. Earlier also, Security Forces have seized a number of SIM cards of Pakistan from the possession of militants and OGWs besides the travelers of cross-LoC bus service of Poonch-Rawlakote route.

Rohtas Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj said that Maoists in Rohtas and Kaimur Districts were fast emerging as poachers, smuggling the organs, skin and horns of wild animals to raise money, reports Zee News. Among the animals targeted by the Maoists were leopards and tigers. He claimed that "Operation Biswas", a Police drive against Maoists mainly in Rohtas and Kaimur Districts, bordering Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh, had effectively ended the 'levy raj' of the Maoists, who could no longer get easy money by targeting road contractors, businessmen or traders. Maharaj said that some days ago, Police recovered arms and ammunition along with equipment used for poaching from Maoists arrested in Ulho and Gotahar villages. He said Police had arrested Indu Paswan, kingpin of the Maoist poachers on Aug 7. Police also recovered a leopard skin and two sets of deer horns from Paswan. Four arrested Maoists informed the Police that tiger and leopard skins were sold illegally in the market at a price ranging between INR 250,000 and INR 500,000. Deer hide fetched INR 50,000 to INR 100,000. A set of horns sold for INR 20,000 to INR 30,000.

The Jamnagar Police seized INR 2.61 million of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) and arrested 14 people, including two women, on September11, 2012, reports Daily Bhaskar. Police suspect that the racket is active in Ahmedabad too. The Gujarat Police suspects that millions of FICN have been pumped into state as part of an international racket originating from Pakistan and Dubai and coming to India, especially Gujarat via Bangladesh and Nepal. Police say that labourers from West Bengal who work in Gujarat were used as the foot soldiers to circulate the fake notes in the state. They suspect the involvement of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and the terror groups active in the country. Chitranjan Singh, the in-charge Director General of Police (DGP), Gujarat, said, “They were bringing the FICN in smaller consignments of few thousands through railway route from Malda district of West Bengal to Jamnagar. They used to circulate it to other parts of the state after that,” Police have busted the network and have identified two kingpins from West Bengal. Aalam Sheikh and Babar Sheikh, both residents of Malda District are working as the sub-agents for some unidentified groups in the neighbouring countries. “They were targeting the labourers working in the Rupen Port in Dwarka to smuggle in the FICN in Gujarat,” Singh further said.

The weapons made available in Myanmar by China have been posing problems for the North East region for years, in recent times incidents of such weapons being procured by a section of refugees of southern Bhutan has also come to light, which makes it clear that a new militant group may come up soon in the area. Highly placed security sources told The Assam Tribune that over the years, China has been pumping in a large number of weapons to Myanmar to deal with the problems in Kachin and a sizeable portion of those weapons are coming to the hands of the militant groups of the North East through arms smugglers. Sources pointed out that a vicious cycle of arms dealing has been established in the area and there are reasons to believe that the arms smuggling is taking place with full knowledge of the lower level personnel of the Myanmar Army. Sources said that over the years, the Myanmar Army personnel turned a blind eye to such arms smuggling and the weapons are brought into India through Mon District of Nagaland and through Tirap and Changlang Districts of Arunachal Pradesh. Sources said that a group of refugees of Bhutan established contact with the Ranjan Daimary faction of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-RD) and received training in a camp of the NDFB in Kachugaon reserve forest area near the Indo-Bhutan border. So far, the new group has not indulged in any major act of violence, but it is suspected that members of the group were involved in firing at five Bhutanese nationals in July, in which one person was killed. Sources said that the Government of India has already informed Bhutan of the developments so that necessary action can be taken in this regard.

At least 40 Sarpanchs (head of Panchayat, village level local self Government institution) and Panchs (member of Panchayat) have resigned in Palhalan and its adjoining areas in Pattan tehsil (revenue unit) of Baramulla District in North Kashmir due to militants threats since the killing of a Sarpanch in the region, Daily Excelsior reported on September 13.

Excelsior adds that Mehrajuddin Dand alias Javed was stated to be in Nepal capital in the office of Pakistan Embassy along with official Arshad Ayub when IC-814 flight was hijacked from Nepal. Sources said there was also a possibility that Pakistan Embassy in Nepal had been used for pumping hawala money and arms into India, which were used for fanning terrorism in the country especially Jammu and Kashmir. Daand had frequently traveled from India to Pakistan and Nepal on different identities using passports and visas arranged for him (in Pakistan) by Pakistan Army and ISI officials. He had a long list of contacts in Kashmir Valley, other parts of country, Pakistan, Nepal and Saudi Arabia. As reported earlier, Mehrajuddin Dand, a resident of the north Kashmir town of Sopore in Baramulla District, was arrested by the Police in Kishtwar District.

Media claims that arrested militant Mehrajuddin Dand, a resident of Sopore in Baramulla District, played a key role in December 24, 1999, hijacking of Indian Airlines jet, IC-814, are overblown, Police and intelligence officials said, The Hindu reported on September 14. “In the course of Mr. Dand’s questioning,” an unnamed highly-placed official said, “we came to believe he may have information related to individuals connected to the hijacking. Those claims are being verified. He is not a suspect in the actual hijacking.” Also, a Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) official said, “The CBI has no reason to believe Mr. Dand was involved in the plot, though we will be contacting the Jammu and Kashmir Police to see if there is any relevant new information now available.” “I’m a little surprised to see Mr. Dand described as a top terrorist,” a Jammu and Kashmir Police official said, adding, “He wasn’t a top anything.” Police sources, however, said their investigations are around Dand’s possible contacts with Arshad Cheema-an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-linked Pakistani diplomat who was expelled from Nepal in 2001 after authorities in that country found 16 kilograms of plastic explosive in his home. Cheema was spotted at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan airport on the morning of the hijacking. However, charges filed by the CBI against the alleged hijackers in 2000 did not claim Cheema had a role in the hijacking. Nor do the prosecution’s documents suggest Dand —or any other Jammu and Kashmir resident — played any part in the operation. The five alleged hijackers-Pakistani nationals Ibrahim Athar Alvi, Sunny Ahmad Qazi, Shahid Saeed Akhtar, ZahoorIbrahim Mistry and Farooa Abdul Aziz Siddiqui — were alleged to have planned the hijacking at a meeting in Bahawalpur in early 1999. Helped by a sixth Indian Harkat-ul-Mujahideen (HuM) operative, Abdul Latif, the militants obtained Indian passports and drivers’ licences from Mumbai (Maharashtra)-based travel agents and driving-instruction schools. The group then moved their weapons from Dhakato Kathmandu (Nepal), travelling overland through India. Indian authorities say all the five hijackers are living in Pakistan; three other men, two Indians and a Nepali, are serving prison terms.

State Police are now working on the modalities to start using Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in operations against the People's Liberation Front of India (PLFI), a banned Left Wing Extremist (LWE) outfit, as they have been doing in case of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist). The use of CRPF has become necessary because the outfit has become powerful and started targeting people in the state capital and towns in neighbouring Districts. The outfit was involved in the killing of industrialist Sushil Kerijwal in heart of the state capital last week. The PLFI cadres also pasted poster on the walls of Ratu Police Station threatening corrupt Policemen and contractors. Police officials have even started admitting in their internal meetings that in Districts like Ranchi, Khunti and Simdega the PLFI has become stronger than the Maoists. More than 200 people have lost their lives, including around 150 in Khunti District, in the past one year because of clash between the Maoists and the PLFI.

Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has asked the J&K Government to facilitate the ‘rehabilitation and integration’ of former militants in the State, detailing out the steps needed to be taken in this direction, reports Greater Kashmir.

Unlike other crimes, it is not necessary for the criminal to be close to the victim. The crime can take place in any part of the world and can affect an individual in a different country, reports Deccan Herald. He further commented, "Technology being updated everyday is another main challenge. The IT Act introduced in 2000 was amended in 2008. However, in eight years technology had changed drastically and since 2008 till date even more innovations have been added," and added that every company is in a race to introduce a better product that they do not see if the Government is updated to handle to crime that may be caused due to the technology. On the topics 'Introduction to Cyber Crime and Types of Cyber Crime,' Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Detective Inspector M.D. Sharath said that a study on cyber crimes shows there is no tendency of the crimes slowing down. The 2011 research reports highlight new advanced threats and an increased of sophistication in the attacks. "One can spread terror as seen in the North East Exodus, where mass SMS was used to send messages. Many fall prey to Nigerian scams. On interrogating a Nigerian fraud, he said it is easy to fool Indians as they are greedy," he said.

Army on September 16 intensified its operation in Uri forests after militants trapped by them in the evening of September 15 proved to be a group of recently infiltrated militants from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). An unnamed Army officer said that they had information about the presence of two militants in the Lacchipora forests of Uri when they launched an operation. Now it has been established that it was a group of at least 3-4 militants of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), who had managed to infiltrate through Kamalkote sector of Uri on September 2. The Army had claimed on September 2 that the infiltration bid was foiled by Army after they found a group of heavily armed militants trying to infiltrate into Kashmir valley by crossing the fence in Kamalkote sector of Uri. However, the General Officer Commanding (GOC, 19 Division), Bipin Rawat, had told reporters then that Army had apprehensions about infiltration of some of the militants as they had noticed marks near the fence. The GOC had said that day that Army had noticed movement of around three infiltrators near the fence on September 3 but they were fired upon and after that they didn't notice any forward movement.

Elected Sarpanches (head of Panchyat, village level local self Government institution) and Panches (member of Panchayat) on September 16 demanded security cover in militancy-affected areas of the State, reports Hindustan Times. "We condemn the killing of village Palhalan sarpanch and demand security for the elected members in the areas affected with militancy," Kulbhushan Khajuria, working president, All Jammu and Kashmir Panchayat Coordination Committee (AJKPCC). "The brutal killing of elected representatives is a murder of democracy," he said, adding that so far seven Panchayat members have been killed, since about 33,000 members were elected in 2011 polls. "The government ignored the security concern besides safety of the Sarpanches and Panches in vulnerable areas that has led to the repeated killings," he added. He stressed, "If immediate steps are not taken, the panchayat members would tender their resignations as about 500 members had already resigned following threats from militants." As reported earlier, militants in the evening of September 10 shot dead Ghulam Mohammad Yatoo, Sarpanch of Palhalan as soon as he came out of the Mosque after offering evening prayers.

India may have to wait for Fasih Mohammad, an Indian Mujahideen (IM) militant, as Saudi Arabia government is toughening its stand on his deportation, as reported on September 17, by The Times of India. While Saudi authorities officially confirmed Fasih's detention, they conveyed that they were examining his stay "carefully". Sources insisted that the Saudi decision had a lot to do with the over-exposure of the role and cooperation of the Gulf country in sending November 26, 2008 (26/11) handler Abu Jundal to India. The National Security Advisor Shivshanker Menon, during his address to the Directors and Inspectors General of Police last week, cited this as an example saying Saudi authorities were not happy with the way details of the Abu Jundal operation were made public by the security agencies involved in the operation. Menon wanted secrecy to be maintained at all levels in handling cases of international terrorism as the acts have "dangerous propensity of international embarrassment".

Manipur and Nagaland are said to be the main centres from where sophisticated arms are being sent to the Garo Hills Districts of Meghalaya where a major insurgency upsurge is continuing for the last three years. Nagaland, home to the oldest insurgency group Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), and Manipur, border State having the largest number of militant groups both in the hills and the valley, have become ideal States for shopping by Garo militants, particularly the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA). The attack on a GNLA camp by Garo Hills Police near Williamnagar on September 14 led to the recovery of a highly sophisticated Heckler and Koch (HK) 5.56mm calibre automatic rifle made in Germany. The weapon was in the possession of West Khasi Hills ‘area commander’ Tosol T Sangma who died in the encounter with the Police. The rifle was recovered with a complete set that included a powerful telescope which could be operated during the night as a night vision glass and laser technology for target spotting, informed Garo Hills Police. The GNLA is said to have anything between half to a dozen such foreign weapons in the possession of GNLA ‘commander-in-chief’ Sohan D Shira who distributes it to the senior most members such as area commanders like Tosol T Sangma. “Sohan himself keeps one HK automatic rifle with himself for protection day in and day out,” said Police sources. This will be the third time security forces have managed to recover foreign made weapons meant for GNLA.

Security Forces has come across vital information regarding the game plan of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to set up guerrilla zones in the hills in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh of Northeast (NE) to strengthen their arms wing in the region. Highly placed security sources told The Assam Tribune that the Maoist rebels would try to set up guerrilla zones mostly in the hills bordering Assam and Arunachal Pradesh as well as in the thick jungles of Karbi Anglong. Sources said that setting up of such guerrilla zones would facilitate launching of armed movement by the Maoist militant groups as they are under pressure in recent times. Sources pointed out that the thick jungles in the hills bordering Assam and Arunachal Pradesh as well as Karbi Anglong would give adequate cover to the militants and they would be able to set up full fledged militant camps and also to set up training camps. The Police and security forces operating in this area have been alerted about the game plan of the Maoists so that the plan can be thwarted.

To minimise the loss of lives of Security Force personnel in the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) stronghold of Bastar, the Chhattisgarh Government has decided to employ robots to detect and defuse explosive devices, sources said on September 17, reports NDTV. The device has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). The five-to-eight-feet-high robots function with a combination of digital and modern receiving units. Programmes related to the operation of its long pointed arms to retrieve and defuse explosive devices would be fed into a mini-computer. To operate the robots, technical experts will also be present in the combing squad of the Police and para-military troopers in Bastar region. "These robots could be commanded from a distance of up to 8-10 feet. After getting directives from its operator about the suspected area, the robot will scan the site and confirm or deny the presence of explosives within a few minutes," sources said.

According to an investigator, “He has videographed the Madras Regimental Centre at Wellington [the Nilgiris District], Nagapattinam Port etc. Two DVDs containing Para Gliding Training of the Indian Army in the desert and an Army Signal Corps parade were seized from his possession. Enquiries revealed that Ansari took the help of an ex-serviceman claiming that he was making a documentary on Indian Army titled ‘Power of India’ ”. His future assignments were to videograph the Eastern Naval Command of the Navy in Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) and the Sulur Air Base (Tamil Nadu), the investigator claimed. Further, Police said Ansari originally hailed from Athirampattinam in Pudukkottai District, according to The Times of India. He was dealing in foreign footwear and was also exporting vegetables. An intelligence officer said that the export business was only a facade to gain acceptability at some strategic levels and he had also in possession of photographs of the Trichy (Tiruchi) airport shot from various angles. Interrogations revealed that he befriended a retired army man from Thanjavur and gleaned a lot of classified information from him. After viewing the CDs in his possession, the Q branch was convinced that there was prima facie case against Ansari.

Assam has deported only 134 illegal immigrants to Bangladesh in the past two years, even though the Tribunals, tasked with detecting the foreigners, had found as many as 5,652 offenders between 2010 and 2012, The Times of India reported on September 18. Assam Government has recently informed the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) that 36 existing Tribunals had declared 4,787 as "illegal immigrants" who came to the State on or after March 25, 1971. Besides, 865 people — who were part of pre-1971 stream of illegal migration — were also declared "foreigners" by the Tribunals under the Foreigners Act, 1946. But, nearly 97 percent of them went missing after being declared "illegal migrants". "The dismal record of deportation, where only 134 of 5,652 people were deported, is an indication of the futility of the whole exercise when most of those declared illegal immigrants just vanished into thin air," said an unnamed official. The report also said that over 310,000 cases of suspected illegal Bangladeshi immigrants are pending at the Tribunals in the State. The Assam Government has requested the UMHA for 64 more Tribunals and reasoned that the additional ones would help settle the pending cases. "We will send a proposal to the finance ministry for approval," an unnamed UMHA official said. Around INR 2.2 million per annum is estimated to be the expense for each Tribunal - comprising two judges — that functions under the Foreigners Act, 1946. Figures, available with the UMHA, also show that 58,932 Bangladeshi nationals, who entered India legally during 2009-11, did not return. Immigration figures show that only 23,653 out of total 82,585 Bangladeshi citizens could be traced and deported between 2009 and 2011, leaving whereabouts of 58,932 of them unknown.

Banned Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) terror outfit's ‘chief’ Syed Salahuddin still remains faceless in the website of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) as reported on September 19, by The Hindustan Times. CBI’s website also does not have his image. The NIA claimed Salahuddin’s involvement in funding of various terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) and had put him on its official website as most wanted with a noting "Image not available". The NIA has given his address and age as 66 years correctly but in the image section, the premier agency apparently has not managed to get a picture posted. NIA had registered a case in 2011 in the wake of allegations that HM, one of the most active terror outfits in J&K with strong bases in Pulwama, Kupwara, Sopore (Baramulla District), Budgam, Doda, Baramula and Srinagar, is being regularly and systematically funded from across the border for the purpose of promoting terrorist activities in India. Earlier in 1998, an Interpol Red Corner warrant "A-66/2-1998" was issued against Mohammed Yusuf Shah alias Salahuddin, who heads a conglomerate of terror outfits, United Jehad Council, at the request of Delhi Police for his alleged involvement in various terror related activities.

India will erect single row fencing instead of double row fencing in several areas along the border with Bangladesh, officials said on September 18. About 80 per cent of the 856-km India-Bangladesh international border in Tripura has so far been fenced with double rows to check trans-border movement of militants, prevent infiltration, and curb border crimes. “More than 61 patches of the India-Bangladesh border with Tripura could not be fenced following objections by villagers,” a Border Security Force (BSF) spokesperson said. “Bangladesh has been objecting to the fencing at the zero line,” he added. The Tripura Government had also asked the Central Government to build fences at the actual border (zero line) with Bangladesh.

In a press statement issued by the Information and Publicity Secretary of the NDFB, B Naijab said some third party has been trying to bring misunderstandings between the Bodos and the Adivasis in Bodo belts by attacking and killing of Adivasi people in apprehensive places where Bodos could be suspected directly for any undesired event. Naijab said one Japen Soren was killed at Bispani-Gundamara under Bijni sub division in Chirang district on September 17 last.

He said the NDFB was not involved behind the heinous act but condemned killing of Soren. He also said the outfit should not be mixed up in the case.

Terming the security situation in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) “very fragile” as the State was passing through a sensitive stage of transformation, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief (GOC-in-C), Northern Command, Lieutenant General KT Parnaik said on September 19 that the terror attacks on sarpanches (head of Panchayats, village level local self Government institution) and civilians are a cause of worry. Parnaik said, "We (state) are transforming from high intensity proxy war to lower levels of violence but the situation never the less is very fragile. The security situation in the state today as general-- I would say is passing through a sensitive stage of transformation." He cautioned against "triggers" which could alter the situation in a short span of time. Talking of solutions, he said, "Therefore, there are three things which are important-- first thing-- ability to check and prevent infiltration-- to that extent we have strengthen our deployment along LoC [Line of Control] and we are ensuring that maximum infiltration attempts are negated. However, some infiltration bids do succeed and as result there is influx of some new terrorists in the state-- but they have not been able to create any perceptible violence. The worry is that they have been targeting police, sarpanches and other civilians-- it is a cause of worry. The need of the day is to dominate areas and not to allow resurgence of terrorism in the state that is our focus". Regarding another question about the killing of militants this year, he said that 44 militants have been killed and 24 have been arrested in 2012. The militants have been neutralised, their leadership have also been eliminated and infiltration is down, he added.

"Their plan was to use the passengers as hostages for securing the release of their comrades in jail," he commented. "We feel that this sort of operation would not have been conceived without express involvement of the Hizb, which is the home-grown terrorist group of Kashmir.

Nagaland Assembly, on September 21, took serious note of the frequent loss of arms and ammunition that mostly land in the hands of militants in the State. Between 1998 and 2012, the State has lost 152 guns of different calibers and 44,550 rounds of ammunition. The lost weapons included automatic rifles like AK-47, SLR, carbine and machine guns. Most of these are now with militant outfits operating in the State. Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio said, the Ministry of Home Affairs had taken serious note of the loss of several weapons by Police personnel and was making efforts to recover the arms from militant groups through the ceasefire monitoring group. Rio said the State Government was making all efforts to curb insurgent activities in coordination with the Centre and termed the loss of weapons and ammunition as “shameful”. “It is a shame that our police personnel are robbing arms and ammunition”, he said. Dozens of police personnel had deserted the force and joined rebel outfits with arms and ammunition, a fact that Rio also confirmed. He said action had already been initiated against some Police officers and jawans for the lost arms and ammunition.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) Politburo member Sushil Roy has said Mamata Banerjee first “posed as a supporter of the Maoists’ cause but did a quick somersault after becoming Chief Minister” of West Bengal, reports The Indian Express. Roy, 76, arrested in 2005, is undergoing treatment for a kidney ailment at All India Institute of Medical Science (AIIMS). “While she was in the Opposition, Mamata first tried to act as if the Maoists had no significant presence. As the elections drew near, and the Singur, Nandigram and Lalgarh people’s movements emerged as a big force, she realised with the support base of the Maoists widening, it would be beneficial to pose as a supporter and sympathiser,” he said. “She did a quick somersault on occupying the Chief Minister’s chair and began to show her true colours... The brutal murder of Kishenji [Mallojula Koteswara Rao] left no doubt of her real political and military character,” he added. “Maoists look forward to broaden the sphere of mutual help and cooperation not only with the Northeast insurgent groups but also with the separatists in Kashmir and with various persecuted minorities such as Muslims,” said Roy in response to a written questionnaire. He, however, added that though the Maoists support the struggle of various Northeast groups, there is no “active military help between the two.” “Maoists have to consistently wage an internal struggle against non-proletarian trends... Overcoming all the internal shortcomings and weaknesses is also a major challenge for Maoists these days,” he said.

On the rising number of resignations by Panches (member of Panchayat, village level local self Government institution) and Sarpanches (head of Panchayat) following killing of a deputy Sarpanch on September 23, the Minister said around 30 resignations had been received so far. Asked if the Government will provide personal security guards to over 34,000 grassroot level representatives, Sagar said it cannot be done. "We will provide personal security in those cases where it is inevitable. Otherwise, the effort of the Government is to create an atmosphere of general security in the State," he said. Sagar said Security Forces will be patrolling in areas where threat perception is more while night area domination exercises will also be carried out. On the issue of adopting 73rd amendment in the State, Sagar, said the spirit of the amendment has already been implemented in the state through the Panchayati Raj Act of 1989 and two Cabinet orders. "The essence of the 73rd amendment is to transfer funds, functions and functionaries to the Panchayats and we have already done this," he said.

The Union Government is likely to challenge a Kolkata court’s declaration that nine suspected Naxalites (Left Wing Extremists) arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in an illegal arms manufacturing case as “political prisoners”, reports The Hindu. Sources in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said the Government had no option but to challenge the verdict as more arrested cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) would now seek the same status. The status of “political prisoner” entitles an inmate several privileges over other prisoners as he will get to live in a separate cell and enjoy greater freedom inside jail, besides getting access to homemade food, newspapers, books and other reading material. There will be relaxation in meeting relatives and advocates. Significantly, in August, the Kolkata High Court had declared seven suspected Maoists, including CPI-Maoist-backed leader Chhatradhar Mahato, as “political prisoners.”

The PLFI cadres reportedly dragged out the duo from their homes at gunpoint and killed them at the village chowk in Gadsitam in the District. The cadres slit the throat of Ohdar and shot dead Singh. Khunti Superintendent of Police (SP) Amarnath Mishra confirmed the incident. "Enu Ohdar is the son of former PLFI member Manager Ohdar, who was recently released on bail and now lives in the village," he said. Sources, however, said the boys were killed because they had refused to join the PLFI. "The rank and file of the PLFI was upset as Manager Ohdar had disassociated himself from all rebel activities," said a source.

Investigations have revealed that Indian Mujahideen (IM), has links with the international Islamic organization Hizb-ul-Tahrir (HuT) banned in Germany and Bangladesh, as reported on September 27, by The Times of India. In a charge sheet filed a few days ago, Delhi Police has claimed it found documents related to HuT from the hideout of an IM member named Shakeel. This is the first instance of an IM-HuT link being found in India. Further, Delhi Police had filed two charge sheets against IM members and the alleged handler in the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) attacks case, Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal. The first charge sheet is against IM militants Kafeel Akhtar, Kamaal Hasan alias Bilal and Mohammad Shakeel, related to the discovery of an arms factory in Meer Vihar, Delhi in 2011. A team led by Special Cell DCP Sanjeev Yadav reported that the factory was being run by Ahmad Zarar Siddibappa alias Yasin Bhatkal, the IM ‘chief’ in India. Sources say the suspects' questioning yielded details about HuT and its link with IM. With Interpol's help, Delhi Police found that IM's HuT links are active in Austria, Ankara (Turkey) and Beirut (Lebanon). The banned outfit has a presence in more than 40 countries, and about one million members. It even has a base in the UK and a growing presence in North America. In the second charge sheet, Jundal is accused of involvement in terror activities across India. "He, along with Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] chief Zaki-ur-Rehman alias Lakhvi, monitored the 26/11 attacks from a control room at Malir in Karachi [Pakistan]," says the charge sheet. It also names Fasih Mohammad as a suspect in the Bangalore and Delhi blasts. He has been detained in Saudi Arabia. In addition, September 26, Zee News reported that Delhi Police said this is in a supplementary charge sheet in the Jama Masjid blast case (September 19, 2010) in which 11 IM militants were charge sheeted earlier. The investigators said during the probe it became evident that Jundal was also involved in the Jama Masjid blast case. The charge sheet said Jundal stated that one of the LeT operatives, Asim alias Abu Kahajo, the main handler of 10 terrorists involved in Mumbai terror attack, blamed failure of intended operation in September 2008 on selection of wrong time and the bad situation of Moon. "All ten persons involved in the 26/11 attack were taught Hindi and Mumbai's local language for ten days at terrorist camp at Baitul, Muzafaraad by Jundal, who is himself a native of Beed District in Maharashtra. The ten terrorists who had executed the attack are Abu Akasha, Abu Umar, Ismail, Ajmal Kasab (lone surviving 26/11 terrorist), Abdul Rahman Big, Abdul Rahman Small, Abu Fahadulla, Musab, Umer and Ali. In his disclosure statement annexed with the charge sheet, Jundal said that a control room was set up by Zaki-ur-Rehman at one Yaqoob's office in Karachi for monitoring of the terror attack and that Jundal himself was speaking to Abu Akasha and Fahadulla from the control room. Besides Jundal and Lakhvi, those who were present in the control room were Abu Alkama, Abu Kahaja, Khalida alias Wasi, Zarar and Shahid alias Nadeem. The charge sheet also says that Jundal had in his disclosure statement revealed that a total of 12 persons had received training for the 26/11 attack but two of them Abdulla and Qasim left the operation. The Police has booked Jundal under section 471 (using as genuine a forged document), 489 B (using as genuine, forged or counterfeit currency), 489 C (possessing counterfeit currency) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). And also under various provisions of the Explosive Substances Act, and the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), besides the Passport Act and Arms Act. The charge sheet said besides the Mumbai mayhem, Jundal also confessed to his involvement in various terror attacks across India including Aurangabad arms haul case, Chinnaswamy stadium blast case, the 2010 German bakery blast and the Nasik Academy attack case.

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on September 26 describing the attack on Panchayat (village level local self Government institution) members as militancy issue said that the Government will not bear the attack on defenceless Panches (member of Panchayat) and Sarpanches, (head of Panchayat) according to Daily Excelsior. Omar said that Government would not remain a silent spectator to these attacks and would take all necessary measures to ensure the security of Panches and Sarpanches in vulnerable areas of the State. Though he made it clear that Government can't provide security to each Panch and Sarpanch, Omar said that Government will take threat assessment of these members and if need is felt for personal protection of Panches and Sarpanches Government has no reservation in providing security to them at individual level. He said that Government will secure the areas where these members face security threat. Terming the militants as cowards for attacking Panchayat members, he dared them to attack him and said that they will not do it fearing befitting reply. He said: "They are attacking defenseless people. If they have the courage let them carry out an attack on me. But they will not do it as they know they will get a befitting reply." He also rejected the implementation of 73rd and 74th amendments of Indian Constitution empowering Panchayats in the State. "There is no need to implement 73rd and 74th Amendment of Indian Constitution in the State. I am not accepting it", added the Chief Minister. Omar said that the State has its own constitution and "we will make major amendments in it to empower the Panchayats". Omar said that his Government is strengthening the Panchayat Raj system in the State and so far powers of 14 departments have been transferred to the Panches and Sarpanches. He also said, “So far, we have only received 50 resignations since the Panchayat elections were held last year [2011]. None of these resignations have been accepted so far." He said that Government will hold by-elections wherever the Panches and Sarpanches resign. "Even if vacancies through resignations arise, I will ensure that the byelections are held at the earliest," he asserted. The Times of India quoted him as saying, "I want to remove the misgiving that panchayat chiefs are being killed and the Government is silent. The media is also overstating their resignation claiming 120 have quit whereas the Government has received resignations of only 50 panchayat chiefs. No resignation has been accepted." While 50 sarpanches have already sent in their resignation letters, they were joined by 70 others who issued advertisements in newspapers declaring they were quitting after threats from Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), the report added. India Today reported that mass resignations by panchayat members and heads continued unabated in the Kashmir valley. As many as 90 panchayat members resigned from their posts on September 26. Earlier, more than 70 of them had quit on September 25.

Madkami Devi, ‘commander’ of platoon number eight of CPI-Maoist, active in Pamed, Basaguda and Usur areas in Bijapur District, who was arrested last week at Cherla in Andhra Pradesh’s Khammam District has revealed that the Maoists have started engaging children aged 12-16 years in combat action with Security Forces. The minors have been drafted in small action teams (SATs), established by the Maoists recently to hit their high profile targets effectively. “Earlier, Maoists used to employ children as couriers to send messages from one group to another, as informers to monitor movements of forces in jungles and as cooks in their camps. We have of late been getting information that children have also been used for combat action by the Naxals. But, the woman ultra has confirmed this. It is a worrying sign,” said Bijapur District additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Ashok Singh.

Pakistan put forth its condition when Shinde raised the issue of speeding up the trial against the seven jailed Pakistani accused including Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) ‘commanders’ Zakir-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah, Abu Al Qama and others.

Terming terrorism as the single largest socio-economic hindrance to development in South Asia, India on September 26, asked South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) nations to deploy their best instruments and resources and cooperate meaningfully to take effective action against the menace, according to The Times of India. Union Minister of Home Affairs, Sushilkumar Shinde, commented, "These are cancers that can only be removed from our region if we act in concert. Therefore, as neighbours and as partners in SAARC, we must work together much more closely and much more substantively…. We must create an atmosphere of peace and security both within our individual borders, and across our borders”. "Each instance of terrorism in our region is a reminder for us to cooperate in concrete action rather than merely in intentions....This is a hard reality that we seem to be forced to re-learn regularly," he further said.

The latest report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) has slammed the West Bengal Police and the State Government for buying two troop carriers for anti-Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) operation at a cost of over INR 9 million “without considering their suitability”, reports Indian Express. In its report that was tabled in the Assembly on September 26, the CAG states the two troop carriers have been lying idle for the past three years as they were found unsuitable for use. The West Bengal Police had made the procurement in 2009 “without considering their suitability resulting in the vehicles not being used in anti-terrorist operations for more than two years and consequent blockage of funds,” it stated. The report said, “Scrutiny of records of SP Paschim Medinipur (West Midnapore District) revealed that the vehicle was not utilised for a single operation since its deployment as it did not have bomb blast proof technology and due to its low fuel economy and inability to move in narrow roads and forests due to its large size.” The auditors also flayed the State Government for making the purchase directly from Ural India Limited without calling for tenders.

The Mumbai Police suspect that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) may have conspired to send November 26, 2008 (26/11) handler Abu Jundal from Pakistan to the Middle East, so he could be caught by Indian agencies, thereby exposing the involvement of an Indian in the terror attacks, as reported on September 27, by Hindustan Times. Sources said that after Pakistan received a lot of criticism about the setting up of a control room in Karachi (Sindh) to coordinate the 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai (Maharashtra), LeT bosses ensured that Jundal, a native of Beed District of Maharashtra, moved to the Middle East so he could come into the radar of Indian agencies. Jundal, during question, told the Police that his move to Middle East could have been part of a conspiracy. Earlier, on May 9, 2006, in two separate seizures the Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS), Maharashtra and the Aurangabad Police recovered 43 kilograms of RDX, along with 16 AK-47's, along with 3200 live cartridges. Jundal was one of the main accused in the case but managed to flee to Bangladesh. The LeT then helped him escape to Karachi.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has registered a fresh case against the members of the banned outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) for recruiting, financing and running terror camps, as reported on September 27, by Indian Express. The latest case registered by the NIA names mastermind Amir Reza Khan, who is alleged to be running IM with Pakistan’s support. The agency said that the IM has received large amount of money over a period of one year from Pakistan, Saudi Arbia and other Gulf countries. In its FIR, the NIA has said that Yasin Bhatkal IM ‘chief’ of India received INR 5 lakh through hawala (illegal money transfer) to recruit IM cadres. Intelligence agencies say that the Bihar module, which was recently busted with the arrest of more than dozen cadres, was one such instance. According to the NIA, IM is also imparting training to its cadres regarding assembling of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and handling of explosives. \ Further, the NIA has also booked militants of the banned Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). The agency will collate information regarding the absconding members of IM and BKI. According to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), there are more than 52 militants of the IM and 15 militants of the BKI who have been identified by the Police and are presently on the run. The NIA cited communication between arrested members of the IM, including Pakistani national Adil Ajmal who was arrested by the special cell of the Delhi Police from Bihar, in 2011. The agency alleged that Adil received USD 13,000 through Western Union money transfer for recruiting and financing the modules. According to the NIA, Adil was earlier a member of the banned outfit, Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and came to India from Bangaldesh in 2010. By then he was a member of the IM and claimed to have met Riyaz and Yasin Bhatkal. He was reportedly paid USD300 by Riyaz and asked to carry out recruitment and logistic work for the IM along with Yasin in In India.

Young Mizo Association (YMA), the Mizo apex body is to begin a campaign to ensure inclusion of only Indian citizens in the electoral rolls and to prevent changes in the demographic pattern as witnessed in Assam, Tripura and Meghalaya. The move comes in the wake of a large number of foreigners being enrolled in the State voters' list due to some unscrupulous politicians, said a leader of YMA central committee. The committee has instructed all its branches across the State to be actively involved in the hearings during summary revision of electoral rolls, which will commence soon. The general secretary of YMA central committee, Vanlalruata, said they will take firm steps to delete names of foreigners from the electoral rolls and prevent foreigners from enlisting their names in the ongoing summary revision of voters' list. A source said, some villages sprang up in some places, especially on the Myanmar and Bangladesh border, without the permission of authorities and that majority of such people were illegal immigrants. "There are such villages even near Aizawl," he added. Mizoram shares a 404 kilometres long porous international border with Myanmar and a 318 kilometres long border with Bangladesh, making the State a conduit for smugglers and drug traffickers.

Army on September 28 said that around 600 militants are waiting across the Line of Control (LoC) in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) ready to infiltrate into Kashmir valley before the onset of winter, reports Daily Excelsior. General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Kupwara based 28-Division of Army, Major General Lalit Pandey, said that Army this year [2012] foiled infiltration bids along the LoC and have killed some of the militants while others have fled back to the PoK. "This has made militants desperate and they will make last ditch efforts to infiltrate in large numbers", he added. Major General Pandey said that the militants are using both LoC in Kashmir valley and neighbouring country, Nepal, as infiltration routes. The GOC said that it is the new trend of the militants to smuggle arms and ammunition into Kashmir and dump it near the LoC before transporting it to Kashmir valley. He described it as an alarming situation. Commenting on the earlier reported recovery of arms and ammunition on September 27 he said, "All these weapons are Chinese make and were wrapped in Chinese and Pakistani newspapers." He, however, ruled out Chinese support to militants in Kashmir. He said that Army has no intelligence inputs about China supporting militancy in Kashmir. The General also said that by smuggling this type of weaponry into Kashmir valley, the militants are intending to increase the level of violence. "The smuggling of short range weaponry suggested that militants are aiming at soft targets like Panchs and Sarpanchs", he added.

The battle against Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is being won “slowly but steadily”, with Security Forces (SFs) having gained control over more than 5,000 sq km area in the last two years, the outgoing chief of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) K Vijay Kumar said on September 29, reports The Indian Express. However, another 6,000 square km of area, mostly in south Chhattisgarh and adjoining areas of Odisha, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, continue to remain almost completely out of bounds for the SFs, Kumar, who retires on October 1, told The Sunday Express. “Slowly but steadily we have been able to establish our presence in many areas that were previously being held by the Maoists. Saranda (in Jharkhand) is a very successful example. There have been encouraging results in Jharkhand, and parts of Bihar and Orissa as well. We are now in a position to hand over these areas to the local and state administrations so that development and other works can begin,” said Kumar. “The biggest challenge now remains what is known as the Abujmaad area. South and southwest of Chhattisgarh, the adjoining Gadchiroli district in Maharashtra and Malkangiri area in Orissa are regions where the Naxal [Left Wing Extremist] groups continue to have near total control. This together is around 6,000 square km of area where we have little presence,” he said. “Apart from these areas, the influence of the Maoists is shrinking all over,” he claimed. Kumar said the government’s two-pronged strategy against the Maoists, police action combined with development work, perhaps needs to be supplemented with another simultaneous effort — revival of political activity in these areas. “This tripod has to be put in place in a balanced manner,” he said.

Convicted November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) blasts terrorist Ajmal Kasab wanted to meet the Pakistani High Commissioner in India after his arrest in Mumbai, reports The Times of India. He also wrote letters to the High Commissioner. The first letter sought an appointment for legal help and requested that the body of his colleague, Ismail Khan, be taken back to Pakistan for burial. The second letter said he did not want the services of an Indian lawyer and requested the Pakistan government to appoint a compatriot "mere bachav ke liye (for my protection)". Neither of his letters got any response. In the first undated letter, Kasab stated that he was a resident of Faridkot in Pakistan's Punjab Province. Providing his residence telephone number (03017363886), Kasab, admitted his role in 26/11 attack. He wrote, "I took training in a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) training camp since I wanted to become a jihadi. For this, I learned to operate firearms and bombs at Muridke in Muzaffarabad and became a fidayeen. Hafiz Saeed, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Abu Hamza and Kahafa trained me in LeT camps and brainwashed me”. Kasab went on to give information about the names of his nine other accomplices and their addresses in Pakistan. He narrated how they travelled on a Pakistani ship, Al-Hussaini, and later hijacked Indian fishing trawler, M V Kuber.

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Central agencies probing the August 1, 2012 Pune (Maharashtra) blasts are now closing in on fronts funding Indian Mujahideen (IM) and its activities, reports Hindustan Times on October 1. One such key front based in south India projects itself as dedicated to social service but is modelled along the lines of the banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) in Pakistan; the Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) parent body. It has set up several illegal financial channels through which money is being channelled into the country for IM activities. ATS is closely monitoring this body as it may announce itself as a legitimate political outfit and contest elections in a state in south India. The organisation has roots in south India but has now built key bases in Mumbai, Pune, Marathwada region in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, said sources. The finances the organisation generated have come largely from entities in Gulf countries. According to Police, “A thorough check is being run on their finances, and the credentials of those associated with the organisation”. Police sources said there are also reports that the body organised a training camp in Rajasthan. The organisation had first come to Police’s attention following the arrest of Himayat Mirza Baig in the German Bakery (February 13, 2010) blasts. Baig had attended the front’s camp in Rajasthan, sources said. “The worrisome part is that the organisation has been roping in smaller regional groups and is now looking to set itself up as an umbrella body across the country,” said the officer. “It is a scary situation. Elements of the banned Students Islamic Movement [SIMI] of India have received a boost to their anti-national activities through an organisation not overtly associated with terrorism,” said a senior IPS officer requesting anonymity.

Malda District has become a hub for smuggling of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN), a senior BSF official said on September 30, reports Economic Times. Additional Director-General (East), Border Security Force (BSF), B D Sharma commented, "44 Indians and 13 from Bangladesh were arrested by BSF for smuggling fake notes in 2011 while in the first eight months of this year altogether 46 people, including 18 Bangladeshis, were caught”. Explaining the modus operandi, Sharma said smugglers often throw FICN bundles over the fence at night besides pumping money through the porous border. So far this year, BSF has seized FICN having face value of INR 1.583 million. Sharma, further said, the modus operandi of the smugglers too have changed drastically as they now use water pipes of the irrigation department to smuggle FICN from Bangladesh to India, according o Indian Express. Interestingly, he said, the circulation of FICN is interlinked with cattle smuggling as FICN are exchanged in a huge quantity for trading cattle. Meanwhile, BSF and the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) have proposed the setting up of a joint task force, to curb smuggling of FICN, officials said, according to The Hindu. Sharma further stated, “The setting up of a joint task force to check the smuggling of fake Indian currency notes has been proposed”.
