The three hawala (illegal money transfer) conduits, including Ghulam Mohammad Bhat, a close associate of All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani, who were arrested on January 23 by Srinagar Police and Delhi Police's special cell from Srinagar along with INR 21 lakh made a revelation that this money was being sent to Jammu & Kashmir via Delhi by the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, for stone-pelters, to deliberately create unrest in the valley. The money is being routed to J&K from Pakistan through a Delhi-based hawala dealer, who is yet to be arrested. During interrogation in Delhi, the three hawala operatives disclosed that the money is delivered to several leaders in J&K to further give it to local politicians to stage violent protests and create law and order problems. Also, terrorist organizations are being delivered money through a Delhi-based hawala dealer. The accused also disclosed that money is being sent every two months through hawala. "As per their disclosure, approximately INR 20 lakh is sent every month, over one crore every year.

In three major successful operations, carried out on April 21 Security Forces (SFs) killed two top Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) militants in Kishtwar District, captured three hawala (illegal money transfer) operators in Banihal of Ramban District and seized explosives from Panchayat (village level local self-government) building at Khari, Banihal, which had been dumped by militants to disrupt Panchayat elections, scheduled for May 16, reports Daily Excelsior. SFs eliminated two dreaded LeT militants, Mohammad Sultan Bhat (‘district commander’ of LeT) alias Noman, resident of Naik Mohalla, Saranwa in Kishtwar District and Jaan Mohammad of Chatroo in Doda District, who happened to be close associates of Lashkar ‘divisional commander’ Salman alias Habib Gujjar alias Jameel in Kishtwar. However, two more LeT militants including Salman himself and Mohammad Ishaq Lone have managed to escape from the encounter site. Recoveries made from the site of encounter included one AK-47 rifle with two magazines, one grenade and a large quantity of ammunition and explosive material. Salman alias Habib Gujjar was instrumental in a series of subversive activities in Kishtwar District. Meanwhile, the hawala racket, was busted by Ramban Police, that originated from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) and channelised through Aijaz Ahmed Sheikh, a resident of Dulligam and settled in Chakoti, PoK since 1997 where he was operating as a top ‘commander’ of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) outfit. Of three hawala operators captured by Police, one was Sheikh’s brother-in-law Barkat Ali Dar. Superintendent of Police (SP) Ramban Anil Magotra said, adding that hawala consignment was delivered at Bijbehara in Anantnag District at the behest of Sheikh. The seized hawala money was meant for militants and their families. Along with Dar, two other operators Farhad Ali Khanday and Mohammad Ramzan Hajam (both from Banihal) were also arrested by SFs and INR 1.99 lakh were recovered from their possession. Hajam happened to be father of a slain HM militant Gulzar Ahmed.

The Centre plans to set up an elite unit within the Home Ministry to deal effectively with cases of terror financing and money laundering, which have a direct bearing on the country’s internal Security, PTI reported. The first-ever such cell will be headed by an officer of the Indian Revenue Service (Income Tax), sources said. The unit will function as the “nodal office” between various investigative and enforcement agencies to deal exclusively with cases of terror financing and instances of money laundering for such activities. According to sources, the cell will have a strength of eight officials, initially, and will be a part of the Internal Security-I division of the Home Ministry. “The cell will take up all cases related to terror funding in India and abroad. It will collate intelligence and information from all law enforcement agencies and coordinate with them,” a senior officer said.Initially, the cell will liaise with agencies like the Department of Revenue Intelligence (DRI), Intelligence Bureau (IB), Income Tax Department, Enforcement Directorate, CBI and Directorate General of Customs and Central Excise Intelligence. Subsequently, it will scrutinise information collected from central police organisations and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU).

The intelligence had noted that a large number of cash buyers are Pakistani nationals based in London and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). "Due to large profit margins, the Dawood group appears to have invested heavily in cash buyers thus having a stake in most deals," it had recorded.

The hawala money (illegal transfer of money) supplied by Pakistan for the militant ‘commanders’ and separatists through cross-Line of Control (LoC) trade route of Uri (India)-Muzaffarabad (Pakistan) has been worked out around INR 60-70 million, according to Daily Excelsior. Some weapons had also been smuggled under the cover of trade items from the same route. Interrogation of the arrested persons and investigations by the intelligence agencies have revealed that Firdous Ahmed Dar, arrested on August 20, was not the only conduit but nearly half a dozen persons had received hawala money and weapons through the cross-LoC route which had been supplied by Pakistani agencies. Sources said the cash received by the conduits had been distributed among the militant ‘commanders’ and the separatists according to directions received by them from across the LoC. The ‘commanders’ of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and separatists affiliated to All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) were major beneficiaries of the cash sent by Pakistan through the cross-LoC route. Firdous Ahmed Dar along had admitted having received INR 15 million through cross-LoC route of Uri-Muzaffarabad. Of this amount, he had distributed INR 300000 to Aiyaz Akbar, the spokesman of APHC-G and a trusted lieutenant of its chairman Syed Ali Shah Geelani, in three equal installments of INR 100000 each.

Four traders engaged in business across the Line of Control (LoC) have been booked by Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with alleged hawala racket for Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Daily Excelsior reports. Cracking down on financial terror, ED, which had sent one of its senior officers to the Valley for reviewing hawala cases, decided to take up the investigation under Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). State Police had busted a hawala racket in 2009 involving traders and businessmen in Punjab and Jammu who allegedly channelised funds to LeT militants in the Kashmir valley and used to get heavy percentage in return. This is the first case taken up by ED after the cross-LoC trade began in October 2008. The sources said terror groups were taking advantage of the absence of legal banking facilities for trade across the LoC which is based on a barter system.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is all set to expand its wings by opening three new offices and increasing the organisation strength from existing 400 to nearly 900, The Times of India reported. The Government has decided to create nearly 500 more posts raising the strength of the counter-terror agency to 900 besides opening offices in Lucknow, Kochi and Mumbai, officials said. The need for opening up of offices in the three cities was felt as Uttar Pradesh is being used by terrorists to infiltrate from Nepal. The State's porous border with Nepal is also being used for smuggling Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) into the country. Mumbai, being a commercial capital of the country, has been often made terror target while Kerala is being used by some terror groups as a recruitment ground for over ground workers who carried of reconnaissance and also indulged in hawala rackets. The NIA was set up in the aftermath of Mumbai terror attacks (November 26, 2008, also called, 26/11) following an act passed by the Parliament and is entrusted with cases related to terror.

Hindustan Times adds that the NIA has unearthed a hawala operation of front organisations of Pakistan-based terror outfits Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and HM for providing money to families of terror operatives killed all over India. The NIA has detected in the last few years a well-oiled hawala operation to tune of around INR one Billion. According to sources in the NIA, a part of the money received by HM operatives goes to certain separatist leaders in Kashmir and another chunk is devoted to fuel militancy. The NIA has registered two FIRs based on the information gathered by it. “The funds received from Pakistan are transferred to Jammu & Kashmir, Delhi and other places in India through the hawala channel by a front organisation of HM which goes by the name of Jammu & Kashmir Affectees Relief Trust (JKART),” states one of the FIRs. The JKART, according to the FIR, has its head office in Rawalpindi and branch offices in Islamabad and Muzzafarabad in PoK. The sources in the NIA said that Delhi had emerged as a major hub for this operation. Once money reaches the national capital, it is disbursed through conduits based in Jama Masjid, Lajpat Nagar and Bhogal areas. The NIA suspects the use of normal banking channels to disburse the money once it reaches Delhi. “The HM is getting significant funding from Pakistan based Hizb-e-Islami which led by Masood Sarfaraz. In case of LeT, the money is coming from the Gulf too,” said an NIA source.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said that Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) backed and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) based Jammu and Kashmir Affectees Relief Fund Trust (JKART) is funding terror in Jammu and Kashmir, reports Indian Express. The agency, which registered an FIR under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), named two Pakistani nationals who are heading the JKART. Chairman of the trust Mahboob-ul-Haq and general secretary Masroor Dar have been named by the NIA in the FIR. The two are reportedly close to HM chief Syed Salahuddin and are responsible for transfer of money to their cadres in the Valley and PoK. The agency is learnt to have picked up a conversation where the two named in the FIR can be heard allegedly directing cadres to provide logistical support and money to terrorists in the Valley. Investigators allege that JKART has pumped in more than INR 800 million into the Valley in the name of relief and rehabilitation work, diverted to finance terror. Founded in 1990, the JKART runs a refugees camp in PoK. According to NIA’s FIR, in October the NIA received credible information about illegal funding by HM in J&K to mujahideen who are fighting against the Indian Security Forces. “Investigation so far has revealed that apart from banking channels, terrorists across the border have used hawala [illegal money transfer] channel and human couriers,” said a NIA official.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) has prepared a 'Terror Funding Template' (TFT), which will help its officials and investigators of states' anti-terror agencies to extract information on terror funding, reports The Times of India. The Template has been circulated to all states and Union Territories for getting relevant information from terrorists and terror suspects during their interrogation and probe. Besides usual source of terror funding through hawala (illegal money transfer), narcotics trade and printing/circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN), the Template has taken into account `misuse' of 'zakat' (giving alms to poor and needy as prescribed by the Quran) to fund terror activities. It has factored in local issues like reports suggesting\alleging diversion of fund from various 'madrassa’ along border areas to different terror outfits," said a Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) official.

The security of VVIPs in Punjab is being reviewed in the wake of the revelations made by Sarabpreet Singh alias Prince (30) and his childhood friend Jaswinder Singh (30), Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) militants arrested by Delhi Police on December 22, reports Daily Bhashkar. "Yes, we are in the process of reviewing security of the VVIPs," said Punjab’s Director General of Police Anil Kaushik on December 25. He, however, did not disclose the names. Delhi Police, meanwhile, claimed that that the module had been tasked by BKI chief Wadhawa Singh and an operative Kulbir Singh to assassinate three religious leaders in Punjab and Haryana and some political leaders in Punjab during the upcoming Assembly elections. The duo was allegedly waiting for a consignment of assault rifles and rocket launchers to carry out the strikes. Jaswinder was arrested from Ropar in Punjab where he was allegedly recruiting youths to revive insurgency in the State while Sarabpreet was arrested from Delhi. Times of India adds that the duo was also part of a team that had brought five kilos of RDX to Ambala (Haryana) in October 2011. Sources said they were to be taught to handle rocket launchers by two others. They were directed by BKI chief Wadhwa Singh, who is hiding in Pakistan and runs operations with the help of ISI, to eliminate Baba Ram Rahim. Sarabpreet, who got money through hawala (illegal money transfer) channels, was to receive a huge consignment of arms, explosives and rocket launchers after which a final go-ahead was to be given by Wadhwa directly. According to the Police, the BKI is on an overdrive to recruit cadre, India Today further added. During interrogation, the Police found out that a massive recruitment drive had been initiated by Kulbir Singh, currently based in Hong Kong (on political asylum), and BKI chief Wadhwa Singh. "Joginder [Jaswinder] (one of those arrested) had received a consignment of arms, which we are trying to seize. Since most of the arms sent by Kulbir to Joginder [Jaswinder] were manufactured in China, we are trying to establish the link," an unnamed Police officer said. "They are investing heavily on recruiting people from Punjab for the BKI as it is believed to be a safe and viable option," he added. Indian Express quoted Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP, Crime) Ashok Chand as saying, “We are searching for the recruits”. The duo has alleged links with Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). Police said the module was tasked to assassinate three religious leaders in Punjab and Haryana, besides a number of politicians. “He was tasked to eliminate Baba Ram Rahim, Baba Pyara Singh Bhaniara and Baba Ashutosh of Ludhiana, apart from certain political leaders of Punjab,” said Ashok Chand. The duo received fake currency worth INR 500000 from Nepal with the help of two suspected members of a Pakistan-based terror outfit, adds Asian Age. The sources also disclosed that the two suspects are believed to have brought the explosives from Jammu and Kashmir which was seized from outside Ambala Railway Station on October 12. “Some evidence has cropped up which suggests that the two may have brought the RDX from J&K. They disclosed that the explosives were to be fitted into timer bombs which were to be used during elections in Punjab. Their handlers in Nepal had promised to send two experts to assist them in making bombs,” sources added.
