The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has claimed to have busted a major Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) racket and arrested 14 persons - including leaders of the gang operating out of Malda in West Bengal - during a nationwide swoop, reports Times of India. The accused were found to have direct links with their coordinators in Pakistan where these notes were printed. Four persons including the Indian kingpin Morgen Hussain were arrested from Malda while four others were arrested in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh), three in Tamil Nadu and one each in Gulbarga (Karnataka), Moradabad (Uttar Pradesh) and Delhi. "Arrests show that the gang - part of an international network - had virtually a pan-India presence. Raids are still continuing in nine States including Bihar, Jharkhand, Haryana and West Bengal," said an unnamed official. He added that the seizures and subsequent probe supported India's claim about Inter Services Intelligence’s (ISI) role in its grand design to "destabilize the monetary stability of India" through pumping in huge numbers of FICNs. "Such a high quality of FICNs cannot be printed without government-linked agency's role or support. Though NIA had mentioned this in its earlier charge sheet in similar cases of Mumbai, the current seizures and disclosures made by the conduits have substantiated the charges," the official said. Referring to interrogation of the accused and technical surveillance, the NIA claims that the gang used to get its consignment of high quality FICNs - printed in Pakistan - through its network in Bangladesh and Nepal. It was found during the probe that the FICN -- in denominations of INR 1000, INR 500 and INR 100 - were smuggled to Bangladesh via air route before finally reaching its destination in different north-eastern and West Bengal villages. Besides using usual smuggling network, suppliers of these FICNs in Bangladesh also used to throw the bundles of FICN into the Indian villages bordering Bangladesh. "The accused persons with their aides used to collect the said FICN and distribute the same to the agents spread all over the country," the agency said. "The gang members used to transport the FICNs through trains and other modes of transport to all the states for its circulation. The local agents used to collect 60% of the value of FICNs from the circulators in genuine notes," it added. As per the deal, the genuine currency was then remitted to the bank accounts of the key persons by depositing amounts to the maximum of INR 49,000 to avoid being detected as suspicious transactions. "The network used bank accounts and ATMs for transferring back the genuine currency earned out of circulating the high quality, high value fake currency to the suppliers of the same based in Malda. The raids, which had begun on January 6, have led to the recovery of large number of ATM cards, bank passbooks, SIM cards and FICNs," the NIA said. The agency, which got help from different State Police during the raids, has, meanwhile, alerted the Border Security Force (BSF) to tighten its vigil along the Indo-Bangladesh border in the entire north-eastern region.

Union home minister, P. Chidambaram, in his address at the inaugural programme of the National Security Guard (NSG) hub at Badu, 50 kilometres from Kolkata, on February 18, said, “Internal security is a very complex issue. The security of the country is a shared responsibility. It is a responsibility that is shared by the Central Government and the State Governments.” Mr Chidambaram pointed out that the Indian Constitution, which assigned law and order and Police to the State Governments, has also assigned to the Centre the responsibility of protecting every part of India from external aggression and internal disturbances under Article 355 of the Constitution.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a town-hall meeting at Kolkata on May 7 said that Pakistan had not taken enough action against Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) chief blamed for masterminding the November 26, 2008, (also known as 26/11) attack on Mumbai, reported Daily Times. “We’re well aware that there have not yet been the steps taken by the Pakistani Government to do what both India and the US have repeatedly requested them they do,” Clinton said, adding, “And we’re going to keep pushing that point. So it’s a way of raising the visibility and pointing out to those who are associated with him that there is a cost for that.”

At present, Rashid has cases against him in Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. In 2000 and 2001, Rashid ran several madrasas (Islamic seminaries) in bordering areas of Bengal, including Murshidabad, Malda and North 24-Paraganas. According to sources, Rashid recruited youths who reportedly joined terrorist outfits. MSN.com further adds that Rashid is suspected to be involved in the 2008 Surat bomb planting case. STF Joint Commissioner, Rajeev Mishra stated, "Haroon Rashid, a SIMI member having close links with the IM and the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), was arrested from the city today (Tuesday).

A Senior STF official commented on July 22, “It’s evident from the seizures that Haroon was planning to carry out a major strike in the city. According to the modus operandi of the IM, the explosives reach the target city a few days before the day of the strike. We presume that the target might have been the July 21 rally, since it was the only big event in recent times. Had there been a blast, it would have been disastrous. It seems that Haroon, along with some other IM operatives, was about to assemble an improvised explosive device (IED), but was arrested before their mission was completed”.

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”.
