In a joint operation, a special team comprising personnel of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the Border Security Force and the West Bengal Police arrested one Morgen Hossain (23) of Malda in West Bengal on January 9, reports The Hindu. Investigators seized Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth INR 27,000 from Hossain, suspected to be the kingpin of FICN operations in India. Based on his information and specific intelligence inputs, the agency conducted raids in New Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal and arrested 10 suspects. They arrestees included Habibul Rahaman (26), Abdul Mutalik (25) and Prashant Mondal (23) of Malda working in Chennai (Tamil Nadu), Manik Sheikh (24) of Malda, Bahadur Yadav (30) of New Delhi, Sajib-ul-Haq (20), Anwar (21), Jamal Sheik (24) and Akram (19) of Malda working in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh). High-quality FICN printed in Pakistan and smuggled into India via Bangladesh were recovered from their possession, Police sources said. Almost all the accused were employed as construction workers, the sources said. Hossain was alleged to have agents across the country who entered different States in the guise of construction workers. Their modus operandi was to circulate FICN of denomination INR 1,000, INR 500 and FICN 100. Unemployed youth of Malda were lured into the network and sent to different States to distribute the FICN. They would make small purchases in shops using FICN. Another modus operandi was to exchange by offering three times the quantum against original currency. “The quality of FICN is almost 98 per cent accurate. Only an expert using relevant equipment can detect that it is a fake note. The prime suspect and his main associates are part of a gang that is operating at the behest of a terrorist organisation,” an investigator said. The original currency gathered by the accused in various States would be deposited in the bank account of Hossain and they would get a commission for it. “We have asked bank officials to freeze the bank accounts of the suspects and further investigation is on to identify the entire network involved in the offence in India and abroad,” he added. The raids began across the country on January 8.

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.

The Delhi Police on January 12 seized Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth INR 60 million from Dabri area in south-west Delhi, reports Times of India. A team managed to get hold of a tempo near Dabri carrying several gunny bags with cloth packets. The seized currency was packed in cloth bundles which had cardboard cabinets, similar to the way textile imported from Pakistan is packaged. Officials said that notes were of INR 500 and INR 1,000 denomination. Two suspected Indian nationals, identified as Mohammad Hasan and Abdul, were arrested with the tempo and interrogated. One more person, whose name was not disclosed, was arrested from there. Police is looking for other suspects including a Pakistani national. On the possible route of the consignment, a source said, "It reached Delhi from Surat via road but we are confirming whether it has come through sea route or has been sent through some other channel. Usually Saudi Arabia and Nepal are used for fake currency smuggling in India". Sources said the consignment seemed to have been sent by Iqbal Kana, a Pakistan-based operative close to Dawood Ibrahim. The exact motive of sending such a large haul is being investigated. Sources say intelligence agencies have several inputs about more fake currency being pumped into northern states before the upcoming Assembly elections. Intelligence agencies and Delhi Police had been on the lookout for the consignment after getting a tipoff 10 days ago about a huge haul of FICN being smuggled into the country. Delhi Police Commissioner B K Gupta said, "This is one of the biggest hauls in the country. The seized fake currency was sent from a foreign country. It looks as good as original." It is the biggest single haul of FICN as it may surpass in final count the total amount of FICNs city Police seized in the past five years. The Delhi Police has seized a total of INR 83.9 million FICNs in 210 cases over the past five years. In the past five years, Police seized FICNs with a face value of INR 8, 39, 07,790, USD 5,800 and Euro 2,000 with 2008 topping the list with counterfeit notes of INR 59.1 million. According to Delhi Police statistics, 2007 saw the second highest seizure with FICNs with a face value of INR 10.1 million in 45 cases followed by 2009 (fake notes of Rs 8.83 million in 47 cases) and 2010 (fake notes of Rs 2.84 million in 33 cases). In 2011, FICNs with a face value of INR 2.82 million were recovered in 44 cases. An analysis shows that notes of denomination of 100 appears to be the favourite among counterfeiters as it is the most seized currency in the past five years.

A Delhiite had allegedly travelled to Pakistan to meet a ‘notorious counterfeiter’ Iqbal Kana and procure Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs), Delhi Police claimed on January 13 after seizing FICNs with a face value of INR 22.4 million and arresting two persons from two separate places in the city, reports Times of India. Two persons -- Ash Mohammed and Zeeshan Khan -- were arrested from Karol Bagh and Dabri on January 12 while they were ferrying the FICNs in two separate tempos, Arun Kampani, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Special Cell), said. It was earlier reported that INR 60 million had been seized. Interrogation revealed that Zeeshan’s father Hasan, a resident of Dabri in South West Delhi, had left recently for Faisalabad in Pakistan to meet Kana for facilitating the delivery of the consignment that was intercepted by the Special Cell team. Investigators, meanwhile, believe that the seized FICNs was sent by Kana, who is suspected to have close links with Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). Police sources said the wrappers seized from the clothes used to conceal FICNs had the names of five companies -- Safari Textiles Mills, Four Star Sidiki Processing Mill, Maharani Collection, Kohinoor Suiting and Usmaan Naiem Fabrics -- based in Pakistan's Faizalabad. Hindustan Times adds that FICNs recovered by the Delhi Police were printed at a Government printing press in Karachi. The seizure was made following an intelligence input. The input came after three men, including an Indian businessman and a Filipino national, were arrested in Kathmandu on December 21, 2011. Investigators following the fake currency trail into North India, especially Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, zeroed in on a Nepal-based Indian national, known only by his last name Khanna, who has not been arrested so far. Khanna, officials say, has a Nepalese assistant, Raju, and Pakistani handlers, Aftab Batki and Iqbal Kana (also known as Shahid), according to Times of India. Officials say Batki and Kana sometimes use the sea route to land fake currency in Gujarat and Maharashtra. In Delhi, the currency first makes its way to some dealers in Lajpat Nagar and parts of South Delhi, from where it is routed to smaller dealers.

Interestingly, the fake notes were deposited in the department that checks and exchanges torn and unusable notes.

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has arrested three Indians for allegedly passing strategic information about national security and military installations to Pakistan, reports PTI. All the three, residents of Jodhpur and Jaisalmer Districts in Rajasthan, were allegedly giving information about the movement and locations of various military set ups and installations to handlers in Pakistan. "Following information from our sources, we had put the accused under surveillance and had summoned one Gulam Rasool (45), who is also the mastermind of this espionage game and resident of Baap area in Jodhpur, through notice under the Official Security Act on January 17," CID Superintendent of Police (SP) S Parimala said. Based on his information, his nephew Majid (40), and aide Allabax (50) were arrested on January 19 from Amritsar (Punjab) and Sri Ganganagar (Rajasthan) respectively. Both of them were carrying important information with them and were said to cross the border from Attari to deliver it to their handlers in Pakistan. Parimala told that Majid was carrying two memory cards with him which contained vital information about Army locations and exercises, whereas Allabax was carrying written documents and maps among other papers. Rasool, who is believed to be spying for the past one year, has also been found in possession of a diary with phone numbers of various Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) personnel and other officials. After his arrest, Rasool reportedly admitted to passing vital information about different military bases like Khajuwala, Nasirabad, Lathi, Chandhan and Phalodi's Air Force station besides the troops positioning in East Jaisalmer. He also admitted receiving money in return of this information. Parimala said that they frequently changed their mobile numbers to talk to their handlers in code words.

The Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) on January 25 made its ninth arrest in a fraudulent SIM card case, according to Indian Express. The accused was identified as Shivkumar Hanumanta (23) from Dadar. Three of the accused in the SIM card case have been booked for their alleged involvement in the July 13, 2011 Mumbai serial blasts case (also known as 13/7). Naqi Ahmed and Nadeem Akhtar were arrested by the ATS and Imran alias Yasin Bhatkal has been named as a wanted. The ATS claimed the Indian Mujahideen (IM) is believed to have used these fraudulently procured SIM cards for mobile connectivity. “We have recovered 2,200 documents, which include photographs and identity proofs,” said Additional Director General of Police (ATS) Rakesh Maria. On the fresh arrest, he said, “He (Hanumanta) would promise people from poor and middle class background talk time of Rs 40 at a discounted price of Rs 30.” Hanumanta is an agent, like Ganesh Tikole (arrested earlier), who collected profiles. DNA reports that prior to executing the 13/7 blasts in Mumbai, IM operatives Yasin Bhatkal and Riyaz Bhatkal bargained extensively on the amount to be spent to execute the terror attack. Though Yasin demanded INR 1.7 million to bomb three places in Mumbai, he was paid only INR 1.2 million by IM leaders, investigations have revealed. “Naqi paid Rs 1 lakh as deposit for a rented room in Byculla’s Habib Mansion. The remaining 50,000 is believed to have been used by the two planters on food and travelling,” the officer said. The Police are yet to ascertain what happened to the remaining Rs 10.50 lakh. IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal also took 10 percent from the ‘salaries’ of his module members in the name of jihad and used it for his own benefit, the officer said. “Bhatkal had stashed Rs26 lakh in his bank accounts and Rs11.40 lakh in cash were found in his Mangalore home when it was raided by the police in September 2008. He is believed to have used that money for investing in real estate in Mangalore,” he added. Further, Maharashtra ATS revealed that the hawala money to fund the attacks was routed through UAE, reports One India. An unnamed ATS official said, "The hawala money utilised to engineer the triple blasts was routed through UAE. We have all the details as to how the money was channelized via UAE and who sponsored it."

Maharashtra Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Delhi Police's Special Cell have arrested a Delhi-based hawala operator, Kanwar Nain Pathrija, on January 31 in Delhi for arranging funds for the 13/7 Mumbai blasts, reports Times of India. This is the first time that Indian Mujahideen's (IM) hawala operations have come to light in Maharashtra. Police said that INR 10 lakh had come to Pathrija from Dubai which he later handed over to IM leader Yasin Bhatkal who is suspected to be currently in Nepal. The key figure is said to be an alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Wali Azeez who assists IM by routing money through the Oman-Dubai route. Pathrija, an owner of a jewellery shop in Chandni Chowk in Delhi, had received INR 10 lakh early in 2011. He had sent this money to Bhatkal which was later used for the Mumbai blasts.

Hindustan Times reports that Haroon Rashid Naik (33), a Mumbra (a Mumbai suburb) resident, was arrested by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in the 13/7 triple blasts case on February 1. He is the fourth man to be arrested in the case for facilitating the hawala racket from where Mumbai blasts were funded. The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) suspects the use of fake currency in the blasts and have taken Naik into custody because of his earlier arrest in a fake currency case on August 22, 2011. Haroon Rashid Naik underwent training with Indian Mujahideen (IM) founder Yasin Bhatkal in Pakistan. The duo underwent training in explosives and weapons there. In Feb-March 2011, Naik sent INR 1 million through Hawala from Middle East to co-accused Kanwar Nain Wazeer Chand Patrija (also arrested in the case) to be handed over to Bhatkal. Asian Age reports that the role of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is getting clearer day by day as Bhatkal is said to have been funded by Karachi-based operatives of ISI. The money was handed over to Bhatkal, the founder of Indian Mujahideen who currently operates out of Karachi. Bhatkal in turn sent the money through the hawala network to an accomplice in Middle East who then sent the money to India who is suspected to be Kanwar Pathrija

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