On January 8m in a joint operation, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) and Karnataka's internal security division arrested three alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives in two separate incidents and seized a huge cache of bomb-making material and communication devices, reports The Times of India. The arrests were made in Cox Town of Bengaluru, and Bhatkal in Uttara Kannada District. Announcing the arrests, Police Commissioner MN Reddi said so far no connection has been established between the trio and the December 28 explosion on Church Street. But, Police will investigate further. Reddi said around 5 kilogram of ammonium nitrate, gelatin, electrical circuits, detonators and a walkie-talkie have been seized. "Three men, Syed Ismail Afaq, 34, Saddam Hussein, 35 and Abdus Subur, 24 have been arrested. The first two were arrested from the house in Pulakeshinagar in east Bengaluru and the third person was arrested from Bhatkal town. Abdus Subur, 24 was MBA student in Bhatkal and we are yet to identify the background of the other two arrested men," Reddi added. During the investigation it was found that these men were acting on the instructions of a handler abroad. "We can't confirm the country from where the handler was operating. These men are being interrogated right now and we can't disclose the directions these men were given either, at the point of the investigation," he said. These men have been booked under sections 3.4 and 5 of explosive substances act and sections 10, 13 and 18 of Unlawful Assembly Prevention Act (UAPA) and 120 B and 121 A of Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Two days after the arrest of three alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, along with a cache of explosives, the Bengaluru Police on January 10 arrested another suspected IM operative, identified as Riyaz Ahmed Sayeedi (32), at the Mangalore International Airport (Mangaluru, Karnataka), just before he was to board a Dubai-bound Jet Airways flight, reports The Times of India. Bengaluru City Police Commissioner M N Reddi said, “The operation was based on the information provided by the three terror suspects, Syed Ismail Afaq, Saddam Hussain and Abdus Saboor, who were arrested on January 8.” The arrests come in the wake of the bomb blast on Church Street in Bengaluru on December 28, 2014. Police suspect that Sayeedi, a resident of Bhatkal in Uttara Kannada District could also be involved in some of the blast cases in different parts of the country, adds The Indian Express. Although it was said that Police seized more explosives from another house in Bhatkal following his detention, senior Police officers didn't confirm this information. According to sources, more arrests are likely to be made from Mangaluru and Bhatkal in the coming days. Sources also added that Kerala too has been on the radar of the Bengaluru Central Crime Branch (CCB), Mumbai’s Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and National Investigation Agency (NIA).

According to the Police officials, four suspected operatives of Indian Mujahideen (IM) arrested recently were part of a terror module that was used to procure, fabricate and deliver deadly explosives, reports The Times of India on January 13. A top Police official said that the IM operatives transferred money through Hawala channels for funding and at least one of them attended meetings in a foreign country, where a conspiracy was hatched to manufacture and deliver deadly explosives which were probably used for blasts in different parts of the country. Bengaluru Police commissioner M N Reddi said that "I would say that a picture is emerging based on the interrogation that we have done. This was a module that was used by the IM as well as the other terrorist organisations to procure, fabricate, supply and deliver deadly explosives." However, Reddi added that there was nothing so far to link the arrested persons with the December 28, 2014 Bengaluru blast that claimed the life of a woman. One of the arrested IM operative, Syed Ismail Afaque was the man who assembled and supplied two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used in the Dilsukhnagar bomb blasts in February 21, 2013 (Hyderabad), reports The New Indian Express on January 13. Top sources confirmed that Afaque, during joint interrogation by the Karnataka Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA), reportedly confessed that he had designed the IEDs and supplied them to other accused who planted them at Dilsukhnagar and executed the blasts. Sources said that “On instructions of his Pakistan-based handlers, particularly Riyaz Bhatkal, the most-wanted terrorist, Afaque purchased the material for the explosives from Manguluru, assembled them and supplied it to other accused who triggered the blasts.” Afaque will be brought to Hyderabad to be produced in the court in connection with the Dilsukhnagar blasts after which NIA is likely to seek his custody to elicit more information about the blasts.

Delhi Police's Crime Branch arrested nine persons for allegedly being part of a Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) racket and recovered FICNs of INR 4.05 lakh from them, reports Business Standard on January 13. The accused have been identified as Harlal alias Hira Lal alias Hari lal ((51), Sudeep Shah alias Sandeep alias Sanjeet (23), Kanhaiya Lal (30), Paras Gupta (46), Parmeshwar Kumar alias Pavva (26), Raju Kumar Shah (24) and Toofani Shah (22) and Ashok Ram (28), all hailing from Bihar, and one Radha (35) from Jharkhand. Sources said that the FICNs were brought to India via Bangladesh. Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch), Ravindra Yadav said that "We received a tip-off on December 29 last year about Lal and three of his associates assembling at subway at Britannia Chowk in Shakurpur in New Delhi for a deal and laid a trap and arrested them." The rest of the associates were nabbed thereafter. During the investigation, it was found that Shah, the leader of the racket, used to procure FICN at the rate of 35 per cent of its value from sources based in Malda in West Bengal and used to further supply the same to his Delhi-based associates Gupta and Harilal at the rate of 45 per cent of its face value. Thereafter, the FICN were supplied at the rate of 50-55 per cent of the value to Shah, Lal, Ram, Pavva, Kumar and Radha for further circulation in the local markets of Delhi- NCR, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, said Ravindra Yadav.

The Hyderabad Police on January 16 arrested a 32-year-old United States (US)-returned engineering graduate, identified as Salman Moinuddin at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (Hyderabad) while he was allegedly on his way to Syria to join Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) along with his girlfriend, who is based in Dubai, reports The Times of India. Police said that Salman Moinuddin, the would-be militant, is also an active recruiter for ISIS. Sleuths of the Counter-Intelligence wing of the Telangana State Intelligence, who effected the arrest, said they had been tracking Moinuddin through his online activities and nabbed him no sooner did he land at the airport. It were the central intelligence agencies that had tipped off the state officials about Moinuddin, they added. According to Police, Moinuddin had planned to join his girlfriend Ayesha in Dubai from where they were to proceed to Syria via Turkey and establish links with ISIS militants. Ayesha is a British national and was formerly known as Nicky Joseph alias Nicole before she converted to Islam after coming into contact with Moinuddin, Police said. The accused had lived in the US for about four years including in Houston, Texas, and is said to have a MS degree in electronics from Texas Southern University. "As per our information, after his studies, Moinuddin was doing odd jobs during which time he got indoctrinated to ISIS ideology online and decided to join them. Moinuddin and Ayesha created various Face book groups under fictitious names and spread the ISIS ideology with the intention of attracting followers. After he was denied a visa extension, Moinuddin returned to Hyderabad in October last year and during the last two months, lured several youth across the country to join ISIS and wanted to take them to Syria," sources said.

On January 27, National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested four persons in connection with the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman blast case after carrying out raids across three districts of Birbhum, Nadia and Murshidabad. Among the arrested is one of the main recruiters for Bangladeshi terror group Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Dalim Sheikh alias Faijul Hoque Sheik, reports The Times of India. The other arrested are Motiur Rehman alias Noor Alam, Habibur Rehman Sheikh and Ghiyasuddin Munshi. While Dalim hails from Birbhum and Motiur from Nadia, the other two are from Murshidabad. NIA's investigation revealed that senior cadres of JMB had established terrorist training centres and bomb making units in Beldanga and Mukimnagar in Murshidabad, Birbhum's Nanur and Burdwan's Khagragarh and Simulia. According to NIA, Dalim was involved in various terror activities including setting up bases and hideouts, raising and collecting funds, radicalising Indian citizens for JMB and providing tactical and material support to senior Bangladeshi members of the agency in spreading the network in India. Motiur worked closely with Shakil Gazi (who was killed in the Khagragarh blast on October 2) at Beldanga in Mushidabad. Motiur maintained hideouts, training centres and bomb making centres at Beldanga. Habibur was a close associate of Sajid alias Sheikh Rahmatulla (a senior Bangladeshi JMB cadre). Habibur maintained and ran the terrorist training camp at Mukimnagar madrasa (Islamic Seminary) in Murshidabad. Ghiyasuddin is a JMB member along with his wife. A close associate of Talah Sheikh, one of JMB's top spiritual heads, he singlehandedly trained recruits at the Mukimnagar madrassa. All the accused were produced in court on January 28 and sent to NIA remand till February 3. The Bardhaman blast accused were not just using madrasas (Islamic Seminary) as training centre for terrorists but even assembling bombs in the garb of running burqa (veil) stitching units. The accused revealed to NIA that they had set up a burqa stitching unit as a front for assembling bombs in Beldanga, West Bengal. This unit was also being used to recruit people for terror activities and training them. "JMB had set up a tailoring unit in which its members used to stitch burqas. This, however, was a front for using the site to assemble bombs. The unit was run by Motiur Rehman, a close associate of Shakil Ghazi who was killed in the October 2 blast. Rehman was also responsible for maintenance of hideouts and recruitment," said an NIA officer. "Dalim was heading the Nanur Madarsa in Bolpur (Birbhum District). He used to spot potential recruits and then give them daawat (invitation) to JMB," said the officer. The investigations have also revealed that senior members of JMB had established terrorist training centres and bomb making units in Beldanga and Mukimnagar of Murshidabad, Nanur of Birbhum and Khagraghar and Simulia of Bardhaman District.

On April 15, five people from Madhya Pradesh arrested from the town of Ratlam were part of an Islamic State (IS) -linked jihad cell planning strikes in India, reports Indian Express. Imran Khan Muhammad Sharif, the leader of the five accused is alleged to have been recruited online by an Indian jihadist he knew as “Yusuf” — code, investigators say, for Karnataka-born Muhammad Shafi Armar, a fugitive Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative now leading group of Indians fighting with the IS. In voice-over-internet and chat conversations recovered by investigators, police allege, Khan sought help from Armar on how to build explosive devices, procure weapons, and select targets for attack. He was advised, Police say, to record each operation — in line with standard IS online propaganda tactics. Fuller details on the conversations, sources close to the investigation said, are expected to become available after the Central Forensic Science Laboratory completes analysis of Khan’s computer. Khan’s passport shows he made five subsequent visits to Dubai, and one to Saudi Arabia, after terminating his studies in search, his family says, of work. However, none of the visits seem to have yielded offers of durable employment. In testimony to Police, Khan said he had joined Ahl al-Suffah (men of the platform), an Islamic proselytising and charity group, in 2012. Led by local resident Amjad Khan, Ahl al-Suffah became active after the pre-election communal riots in Muzaffarnagar (Uttar Pradesh), working to distribute relief among Muslim victims of the violence. Muhammad Shafi Armar’s brother, Muhammad Sultan Armar, was killed in combat near the Syrian town of Kobane in March, fighting with IS forces attempting to take the city from Kurdish control. However, investigators claim Imran Khan managed to persuade four other members of Ahl al-Suffah to join him: Wasim Khan, Mohammad Rizwan, Anwar and Mazhar. Imran Khan, Police allege, made his first contact with “Yusuf”, while trawling pro-IS Facebook pages run by IS supporters in India, as well as Islamist discussions forums. In August, 2014 Sultan Armar had appeared online in a video released by the breakaway IM faction, Tawhid-ul-Ansar, calling on Muslims to join it at training camps in the Pakistan-Afghanistan borderlands. Later, Indian jihadists in Tawhid al-Ansar made their way to Syria, where they formed a group called Ansar-ul-Tawhid fil’Bilad al-Sham The Times of India adds that the IS linked terror module was being persuaded by its Syria-based handlers to target Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) leaders, apart from Police officers, outside Madhya Pradesh. Sources in the intelligence agencies said the five-member group had, on the instructions of one Yusuf-Al-Hindi, acquired two pistols and learnt how to assemble Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) from locally available explosives.

A Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative Irfan, who had sneaked into Uttar Pradesh from Nepal in disguise of an earthquake victim, was arrested by intelligence agencies and a team from Special Cell of the Delhi Police from Bahraich on May 11, reports The Times of India. Irfan Ahmed alias Papu is also alleged to be the head of Indian Mujahideen's (IM) Nepal branch, according to dnaindia.com. Director General of Police (DGP) UP A K Jain said Irfan was wanted in connection with the Rajdhani Express blast in Kanpur in 1993. "He was released on parole in 2004 after which he initially fled to Kolkata and then took refuge in Bhairwa area near Kathmandu in Nepal...He was arrested in Nepal on a tip-off of the Indian intelligence agencies and was lodged at Palpa jail. But the prison building collapsed in the recent earthquake after which he fled Nepal," Jain said. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Special Cell (SC) Delhi Police S N Srivastava too confirmed Irfan's arrest in Delhi on May 11. "He was hand-in-glove with a listed LeT operative Amir Raza Khan who now works for Indian Mujahideen. During his stay in Nepal Irfan was being funded by Amir Raza and the financial transactions were taking place through Western Union Money transfer and a Nepal based financial institution by the name of Prabhu Money transfer," SN Srivastava said. Intelligence sources say they have strong and irrefutable evidence to suggest that Irfan was involved actively in indoctrination of gullible Muslim youths from India in Nepal and was involved in sending them to Pakistan for further training. Irfan's son Abrar Ahmed alias Mohammad Issa (30) was arrested in 2006 on charges of working as a LeT operative after 2 kilogram RDX [Research Development Explosive] was recovered from him following an interception in New Delhi. He was rounded up along with his aide Abu Anas, a Pakistani national. According to Special Cell, Irfan was living in Nepal as a businessman dealing in jackets and also opened a cyber café which was to act as the communication hub for the Tanzeem, reports dnaindia.com. "During the time Irfan Ahmed was in Tihar Jail, he met Aasif Reza the founder of IM and Mushtaq Zargar (Released in Kandhahar, Afghanistan by the Government of India during the Air India hijacking incident). It was Aasif Reza who proposed to Ahmed the formation of a new Tanzeem (group) called IM...Reza who was killed in an encounter in Gujarat, before his death had introduced Ahmed to his brother and now co-chief of IM Amir Reza in Kolkata and it was decided that Ahmed will head the Nepal branch of the group. His duty was to indoctrinate Indian youth in Nepal to travel to Pakistan for arms training. He also was the main liaison for terrorists from Lashker-e-Toiba often providing them with a place to stay and information on the routes," said S N Srivastava, Special Commissioner of Police Special Cell.

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) arrested Nurul Hoque alias Naeem, 'chief trainer' of the Indian module of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), from Howrah station in Kolkata (West Bengal) on June 18, reports The Times of India. Naeem also collected funds for the terror outfit and had undergone arms training under NSCN-K (National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Khaplang) in Myanmar. A resident of Bakshipur near Domkal in Murshidabad, the 26-year-old is a very close associate of blast mastermind and Bangladeshi national Sajid, say sources. "Naeem had been identified as a key co-conspirator and was absconding since the Bardhaman blast of October 2, 2014. A cash reward had been declared for his arrest. Several witnesses as well as interrogation of arrested JMB cadres had revealed the name of Naeem as a very active member of JMB, who was operational in Birbhum District in close association with Dalim Sheikh (in custody) and Talha Sheikh (Bangladeshi national, absconding)," an NIA statement said. Of late, Naeem had come close to bomb-maker Haath Kata Nasirullah, which led him to become the linkman between the JMB leadership in Sylhet, Bangladesh, and the Indian module. He used to collect funds for terror activities from Bardhaman, Birbhum and Murshidabad districts. Sources said Naeem's rise in JMB was hastened by Nasirarullah, who made him the number 3 in the Indian module. According to NIA, Naeem had undergone arms training at Mukimnagar Madrasa in Murshidabad District and Simulia Madrasa in Bardhaman District between 2009 and 2011 before allegedly getting advanced training at the hands of NSCN-K in Myanmar. JMB leaders made him a trainer and he coached recruits in firearms and explosives in terrorist training camps at Shantipally in Birbhum and the Simulia and Mukimnagar madrasas, say sources. He was also a motivator in radicalization camps, showing recruits jihadi video clips on a laptop.

One of the two Sri Lankan Tamils arrested on July 20 along with communication gadgets and cyanide in Ramanathapuram District of Tamil Nadu (India), has been identified as Krishnakumar, a close associate of slain Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran, said the Indian Police, reports Colombo Gazette on July 22. A top Police officer said that sleuths from Intelligence Bureau (IB), Tamil Nadu ‘Q Branch’ Police, and Special Intelligence Unit are now interrogating the LTTE militant, arrested along with two others during a routine vehicle check at Uchipuli in the Ramanathapuram District. Police also said all coastal Districts in the state had been alerted to monitor for movement of members of LTTE and checkposts asked to be extra vigilant. It was suspected Krishnakumar would have arrived in the country in the immediate aftermath of the decimation of LTTE and killing of Prabhakaran by Sri Lankan Security Forces (SFs) in 2009, Police said.While local Police had earlier said five persons, including two Sri Lankan Tamil refugees, were detained, it was clarified later that only three had been arrested. They were identified as Krishnakumar, Rajendran, also a Sri Lankan national, and Sasikumar, a local who drove the car. Krishnakumar was planning to go to Sri Lanka by illegal ferry when he was arrested. Sasikumar, the driver of the car, and Rajendran, an alleged ‘ganja’ (drug) peddler residing in Uchipuli, were arrested for providing shelter to the militant of a banned organisation, Police said. Police said Krishnakumar and Rajendran could be sent to a special camp (for former Tamil militants) after interrogation.The Times of India adds that Tamil Nadu Police suspect that the arrested LTTE operative was possibly smuggling materials like cyanide capsules and Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment to some people in Northern Province of Sri Lanka. Police said, Krishnakumar had been staying in Trichy and had lot of contacts at refugee camps in Chennai and Trichy. Krishnakumar was trying to leave the country as his marriage was getting fixed in Jaffna. But he could not go legally since he feared that his name was in the LTTE cadre list and he may be detained as soon as he landed in Sri Lanka. Krishnakumar was transporting these materials to some people in Jaffna and Police sources speculated that there is some regrouping of LTTE going on in Sri Lanka, though they suffered a fatal defeat in the civil war of 2009. The exact sources who provided him cyanide and the people to whom he was transporting the materials will be known after thorough investigation, Police said.

On August 14, one person, Pankaj Gadhai (resident of Odisha) was arrested by Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) of Crime Investigation Department (CID) from Jorabagan in Kolkata, and with his revelation, on August 15 afternoon, CID recovered 600 kilogram of ammonium nitrate along with another 500 kilogram of Sulphur and 20 kilogram of aluminum nitrate from 54 Strand Road in Kolkata, reports The Times of India. The fact that this huge stack was locked inside a go-down even as the city went in to a high-alert for Independence Day has not gone well in the security establishment. "By the looks of it, the entire modus operandi is tried and tested and up and running for several months. We are investigating this aspect closely," said a source. The go-down belongs to one Susanta Pakhira, who too is a resident of Odisha. According to CID sleuths, the recovery has direct connection with the Raghunathganj explosives haul that took place on August 8. The CID has so far claimed that the explosives used to arrive at the Kolkata go-down from designated areas of Odisha. Sometimes, they added, the raw material consignments arrived from Bihar. The explosives were then sent to several areas in Murshidabad District like Domkal and Suti from where the bombs would be made. These consignments sometimes were sent either through trucks or even the local train network. Once the bombs were manufactured, they were pushed back in to Kolkata and the Barrackpore Industrial belt. Sleuths believe a portion of it was sneaked even in to neighbouring Bangladesh. Sources said the quality of the material, the route and the transport mechanism similarity with that of October 2, 2014, Bardhaman Khagragarh blast.

Police arrested, two terror suspects, identified as Masood Ali Khan and Sohail Parvez Khan, from Chanchalguda area of Hyderabad on August 14, reports The Times of India. Earlier in the day, as was reported in the SATP on August 15, four other suspects - a Pakistani national, Mohammed Nasir along with two Bangladeshi nationals, Faizal Mohamoud and Joynal Abdein and a Myanmarese national, Zia Ur Rehman – were arrested from the same area. Nasir was arrested for allegedly shipping a terror militant out of India, and for his strong links with Bangladesh terror group Harkat-ul-Jihad-al Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B). The National Investigation Agency (NIA) was in pursuit of Nasir after the 2013 Dilsukhnagar blast accused Waqas (alias Sonu) told interrogators how Nasir had helped him slip out of Hyderabad and into Bangladesh. "When NIA officials arrested Waqas, he disclosed that it was one Nasir who helped him cross to Bangladesh. Since then NIA has been on the lookout of Nasir and today we got extremely lucky,'' said Joint Commissioner of Police (detective department) T Prabhakar Rao. Nasir, who is involved in human-trafficking, was helping Faizal Mohamoud, Joynal Abdein and Zia Ur Rehman get fake passports, the Police said. Polices said, Nasir, during his stay in India, has been sending people to Saudi Arabia and surrounding countries, and many of them could be militants. Rao said Police seized four Indian passports, one Bangladesh passport, 100 identity proofs including voter ID cards, Aadhaar cards, birth certificates, passport delivery envelopes and affidavits, along with a cache of Jihadi literature. Police said 52-year-old Nasir has been living in India during the last five years, ever since he sneaked into West Bengal via Bangladesh. Nasir took shelter along with his Pakistani wife in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh before coming to Chanchalguda three months ago. "While he was in Pakistan, he came in contact with his distant relative Abdul Jabbar, who is presently residing at Cox Bazar in Bangladesh, and is a leader of HuJI-B. Jabbar indoctrinated Nasir with terrorist ideology and sent him to India for unlawful activities,'' Prabhakar Rao said. Police said Jabbar had directed Nasir to receive Dilsukhnagar blast accused Zia-ul-Rehman (alias Waqas) at Malda District in West Bengal and help him cross over to Bangladesh in early 2014. During his stay in India, Nasir has also been trafficking people and helping illegal immigrants obtain Indian passports, using various identity proofs. Except Nasir, the other three foreign nationals are only illegal immigrants and have no terror links, police said.

The Special Task Force (STF) of the Kolkata Police on August 14 arrested five Sri Lankan nationals, allegedly former Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) members, and two Indians from a hotel in Chadni Chowk in Kolkata (West Bengal, India), reports The Hindu. The seven were picked up from Hotel Chandni International, located in the central part of the city, by the STF late on August 14 night in a joint operation with personnel of the Bowbazar Police Station, a senior officer of the Kolkata Police’s STF section said. “They have failed to show proper papers about their identities and their travelling papers to India. They have entered the country on forged documents. We suspect that they probably have used waterways to enter Chennai,” the officer said. The two Indians, residents of Tamil Nadu, had helped the five Sri Lankans in travelling to Kolkata and probably with the false documents, he said. Colombo Page adds that according to the Police, two of them – Guna Sekharan and Bala Singham are senior leaders of the LTTE. Police are checking if they came for any operations or for any reconnaissance. The Police are interrogating them to find if they had links with Maoists, as there are reports that the Maoists are gradually regrouping in Bengal and have plans to start guerilla warfare in Jungalmahal area of Bengal. Moreover, the Police are also probing if LTTE was supplying arms to the Maoists.

Intelligence agencies in Hyderabad on September 10 arrested an Indian woman, identified as Afsa Jabeen alias Nicky Joseph soon after she was deported from UAE for being allegedly involved in recruiting online for the Islamic State (IS), reports The Times of India. Afsha Jabeen has been posing as a British national while trying to lure young men and women through the social media into joining IS, sources said. Afsha, who hails from Hyderabad, was taken into custody at the airport after being deported along with husband and children. The arrest followed nine months of intense surveillance mounted on her in India, UAE and Britain. "We arrested Afsha at the airport on Friday morning. We have to interrogate her to get more details about her activities," Cyberabad Commissioner CV Anand stated. Afsha is being interrogated by sleuths from several agencies. She used to motivate Indians to join IS mainly through Facebook groups, first sending them literature and other propaganda material and later coercing them to join the outfit. Afsha's name first surfaced on January 16, 2015, when Police arrested Salman Mohiuddin a US-trained engineer from Hyderabad's Habeebnagar area, minutes before he was to board a flight to Dubai with plans to join the IS. During interrogation, Salman confessed that he was indoctrinated by Nicky Joseph and that he was to join her in Dubai. Afsha had laid out plans for Salman's travel to Syria through Turkey. Though Afsha told Salman that she was a British national living in Dubai and was married to cardiologist Aforaly Paul, Indian sleuths who monitored her online activity and cross-verified her details with external intelligence agencies of UAE and UK, realised that Nicky Joseph was none other than Afsha Jabeen of Tolichowki. According to Police, Afsha was administering an Facebook group-- 'Islam vs Christianity Friendly Discussions', to attract, indoctrinate and motivate people from across the world, including India, to join the IS. Influenced by Afsha, Salman had started his own Facebook group -- 'Daula News Group' --to intensify efforts on recuiting for the IS. Police believe apart from Salman, Afsha may have influenced several others in India.

We laid the trap and waited patiently for seven days so that the accused didn't get any chance to flee," DRI sources said. "The courier was brought from Dubai via Delhi and was marked as household goods. It had some snacks and chocolates and the FICN was also concealed in a box," the DRI officials said. Altogether 51 bundles of Rs 500 denomination were recovered by the cops. "The accused is an active member of an international gang and the mastermind of the racketeers is based in Nepal. These very high quality fake notes are pumped into India by Pakistan ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] operatives but they route fake currencies in India through other nations to deny their involvement in the matter," DRI sources said adding, "Ansari's bank account has several transactions with Dubai and several of his calls were from Nepal and Dubai."

There he learnt coding and decoding," the officer said adding that several email address leading to ISI agents were found in Khan's mail.

Based on leads provided by Telangana Police, a 33-year-old online recruiter of Islamic State (IS), identified as Adnan Hasan Damudi who was trying to lure more than 20 youngsters in Hyderabad, including techies and women to join the terror outfit, was detained in Dubai a few days ago, New Indian Express reports on November 23. Telangana Police officials had reportedly forwarded a comprehensive report to Dubai Police on the activities of the online recruiter, who was luring city youth through social media. Damudi, a native of Karnataka, who was arrested by Dubai Police, is suspected to be a former cadre of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). He went to Dubai in 2012 in search of a job after finishing his graduation in commerce from Karnataka University in Dharwad. According to Police, Damudi, who worked as assistant delivery coordinator at the World Trade Centre in Dubai, used to maintain the Twitter account with the handle @AdnanDamudi and actively propagated IS ideology. According to sources, the Hyderabad Police, who detained a youth for trying to join IS last year, had collected information about the activities of Damudi during the counselling session. Initially, Damudi promised to help six youth including a woman to join IS. While chatting on social media, Damudi gave his Indian mobile phone number to the six persons. Later, two of them dropped their decision, while remaining four were detained in Kolkata (West Bengal) in 2014. The Police had information that Damudi was staying in Dubai and was actively operating on social media. Tracking his mobile number, police identified him as Damudi, native of Karnataka. It is also learnt that Damudi, who was successful in recruiting four youth to join IS, had assigned the task to one Sultan Amar on Afghanistan- Pakistan border, to help the four youth to proceed towards Syria.

Uttar Pradesh (UP) Special Task Force (STF) on November 27, arrested a man, identified as Mohammad Ejaz alias Mohammad Kalam suspected to be an agent of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), reports The Times of India. Inspector General (IG) Sujit Pandey of UP STF said the man had already relayed classified information about military establishments and the movement of Army units to his Pakistan handlers. IG Pandey said, "He sneaked into India from Bangladesh on February 9, 2013. He has already handed over classified information on the movement of the Sukhoi 30 combat aircraft and their hangars. He had information about the anti-tank guided missile programme. He had in his possession video images of Mirage's emergency landing on Yamuna Expressway, the movement of the mountain brigade at Pithoragarh and information about an under-construction runway. His bank account in India showed transaction of more than Rs6 lakh in the last two years. This money was transferred in installments, once from Saudi Arabia then from Dubai. He has sent his handlers information on cantonments in Bareilly, Meerut, Agra, Pithoragarh, Shahjahanpur and Mathura. He was in contact with a man called Salim, an officer of the ISI. His family was receiving Rs 50,000 per month in Pakistan for his services." Besides classified Army documents, sleuths in Meerut recovered a fake Aadhar card with a Bareilly address, a fake voter ID card made in West Bengal, a Delhi Metro traveler card and Nepali and Saudi currency from him. His laptop, pen drive and ATM card have been seized. A NADRA card (Pakistani national identity card) was also found, Pandey said. About 20 Sukhoi aircraft are stationed in underground hangars in Bareilly. These are rarely seen in public. The Trishul Airbase is among the oldest of such facilities in India, and is a sensitive base, given its proximity to the China border - forces stationed here are equipped to reach the border, about 300 kilometre away, in just five minutes. The Bareilly Cantonment is considered especially sensitive, and several roads connecting the city to this area have been closed off in the past three years. Information on the Trishul Airbase at Izzatnagar in Bareilly was found on Ejaz's laptop. A marked map of army installations in the district was also recovered. Sources said Ejaz revealed during interrogation that he was sent from Karachi (Pakistan) to Dhaka (Bangladesh) in January 31, 2013. He was received in Dhaka by a man named Probin, who enabled his travel by boat to West Bengal and dropped him at the house of Mohammad Irshad, a resident of Matiya Burj, West Bengal. Irshad and his son Ashraf, aided by a relative, helped Ejaz get a fake junior high school certificate, a voter ID and a ration card. These documents were used to open an account with the Central Bank of India.

Suspected Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agent, identified as Mohammad Aijaz arrested from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh on November 28, has told Special Task Force (STF) that ISI works very much like Islamic State (IS), reports The Times of India. Aijaz who stayed in Bareilly in disguise told interrogators that he was sent to Bangladesh where his handlers kept his passport and sent him illegally into India through a river. According to reports, IS recruiters burn passports of new joinees before assigning them missions. According to STF officials, Aijaz said the ISI 'handlers' had also promised to get his sister married and help his family financially but reneged on their promise and never fulfilled their commitment in the last three years. Deputy Superintendent of Police (STF) Anit Kumar said, "He was given nine-month training and was perfectly conditioned for the job before he was sneaked into India. He is making such statements to gain sympathy of interrogators. His family includes five brothers and three sisters and one of his brothers, as per his disclosure, is employed with the British High Commission in Pakistan." According to Kumar, "Even when STF sleuths were on his trail, he being a deft computer professional gave little chance to us record his conversation with his handlers in Pakistan. After exchanging pleasantries over phone, they used to switch to Skype through which they used to talk for hours. Since it is not possible to track conversation on Skype, we could not get hold of the contents of these conversations." Ajay Pal Singh, another STF official, said, "While being brought back to Bareilly from Meerut after his arrest, Aijaz told cops that ISI had betrayed him by promising to take care of his family in the best possible manner, including getting his sisters married. But they never kept their promise. The monthly payment of INR 50,000 was also never made in full, but in instalments."
