A top operative of the Bangladesh-based terrorist outfit Jama’atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Mohammad Mosiuddin alias Musa has revealed that Islamic State (IS) is planning to carry out terror attacks in the eastern part of the country, Zee News reports on January 3. Mosiuddin claimed that the IS want to establish an Islamic caliphate in India.The Security Forces and the intelligence agencies are now verifying the possibility of an IS attack from the east following the interrogation of Musa. During his interrogation, Musa has made revelations that terror groups now aim at targeting foreigners at Kolkata's Mother House and lone wolf attacks on foreign tourists in Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir).The group aims to replicate in South Asia what the IS has done in the middle-east, sources said. Mosiuddin is believed to be closely linked to the mastermind of the Dhaka Bakery terror attack and this lends credibility to reports about the possibility of IS opening a new front in the East. The JMB further plans to publicise the activities of the IS in India and recruit for the group.Another aim of the group is to help spread Salafist Islam in states like Bihar and West Bengal.

Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and Border Security Force (BSF) on January 16, seized around 500 gram of heroine from a border outpost near Lalgola in Murshidabad District, reports The Times of India. The seized drug, which was to be sent to Bangladesh, has a market price of INR 1.5 core. "So far it seems that the consignment was sourced from some clandestine laboratories in the area. We have already brought the Lalgola and Plassey area under our surveillance," said Dilip Srivastav, Regional Director (east) of NCB. The agency has seized more than 300 gram of heroine from Siliguri earlier this year. "It seems that the consignment was procured from Siliguri and was brought for the local consumption," said Srivastav. According to NCB sources, after a crackdown at Malda District, clandestine laboratories have started mushrooming in Murshidabad. The areas across Plassey and Lalgola in the district are under the radar of the agency now.

The Border Security Force (BSF) is overhauling its deployments in Malda District of West Bengal, ill-reputed as the national hub for Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) notes and illegal narcotics smuggling, Hindustan Times reports on January 30. The overhaul move has been initiated following a caution sent by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to the West Bengal home department that Indo- Bangladesh border sector in Malda District of West Bengal, is increasingly becoming a corridor for movement of cross- border terrorists.According to the BSF Commandant, deputed in the Malda sector, A K Hotker, the border guard force is involving the local residents in the Indo-Bangladesh border villages in the Malda sector in getting information about outsiders frequenting these bordering villages. “Without the participation of the villagers we cannot really perform our duties of nabbing the cross- border terrorists using this bordering sector as the corridor,” he said.According to sources from the border guard agency of the Union government, four major steps are being taken as a part of the agency’s overhauling exercise in the Malda sector. The first is increasing the deployment of the BSF battalions in the Malda sector from the existing four to six. The second is deputing an experienced officer in the rank of deputy commandant in charge of each of the 58 border outposts (BOPs) in the Malda sector replacing the earlier arrangement of an Inspector in charge of each BOP. The third major overhaul, is that every cordon & search and ambush operation should be led by an officer minimum to the rank of assistant commandant. The fourth and the final part of the overhaul is deputing a specialized team of BSF officers and staff with specialization in marine combat to guard the 20 kilometer long riverine border in the Malda sector.

A report from the Bangladesh government to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) over the recent spike in infiltration of terrorists to India has rung alarm bells in the security establishment, The Times of India reports on March 21. According to the report, 2016 witnessed an over-three-fold increase over 2015 in infiltration by Harkatul Jihadi al-Islami (HuJI) and Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) extremists into the border states of West Bengal, Assam and Tripura. The development assumes significance as the NIA (National Investigation Agency) has found overseas terror links and the direct role of JMB in the October 2014 Bardhaman blast at Khagragarh.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has identified Darul Sheikh as the key operator who from Dhaka (Bangladesh) controls an international network dealing in the distribution and peddling of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) aimed at damaging the monetary stability of India, reports Mumbai Mirror on November 20 (today). The NIA is now investigating if Darul's cartel is actively behind the recent spurt in "Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) racketeering" across cities such as Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Ahmedabad. Also, the NIA is probing if Tajel Sheik alias Tiger Sheikh and Nasir Sheikh, residents of Malda in West Bengal close to the Indo-Bangladesh, who were arrested in March last year (2016), were 'employed' by Darul to smuggle counterfeit Indian currency notes through the porous border into India. The agency had then seized FICN worth INR 9.8 lakh from the duo in demonetised denominations of INR 1,000 and INR 500. Both Tajel and Nasir were charge-sheeted by the NIA in June this year. The agency's Terror Funding and Fake Currency (TFFC) cell is probing if Darul, a Bangladeshi national, has connections with terrorist groups and their leaders. The cell is also investigating whether he was in touch with members of the gang recently busted by the agency which used to convert demonetised scrap notes aimed at funding terrorists in Kashmir.

The Calcutta High Court (HC) on December 18 rejected the bail plea of Musa alias Mohammad Mosiuddin—an Islamic State (IS) operative, who planned to attack ‘Mother House’ in Kolkata and other locations in West Bengal, reports Press Trust of India. Opposing the bail plea, National Investigation Agency (NIA)’s counsel Sanjay Bardhan submitted the charges before the division bench, with a request that charges against Musa are of serious nature as he had attacked the jail warden of Alipore Central Correctional Home on December 4, 2017. Musa allegedly planned to attack the ‘Mother House’ and the headquarters of ‘Missionaries of Charity’ in Kolkata, said Bardhan. Musa was arrested in July 2016, along with firearms and sharp-edged weapons, by the West Bengal’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) squad while he was travelling to Birbhum district in West Bengal. Later, the investigation was taken-over by the NIA, which filed a chargesheet in December 2016, against Musa. Musa filed a bail application before the NIA’s special court in May 2017 but it was rejected in the following month
