Investigators probing the Indian Mujahideen (IM) Bihar module, part of which was busted by the special team of Delhi Police in 2011, has found that the chief of IM operations in India, Yasin, had been making frequent trips to several areas of Bihar towards the beginning of this decade for recruitment to the terror cause, reports Times of India. Yasin, popularly known as Doctor Imran across the three Bihar districts of Samastipur, Darbhanga and Madhubani, had a lot of acquaintances whom he invited over to Delhi. Yasin merely re-established contact with those who came to Delhi in search of jobs. "We believe that he was in need of men, who were equally motivated and also in want of money. Thus, he chose his men very carefully,'' added the source. This, he claimed, also showed that Yasin could have already kept other modules ready. "He is one leader who did not let the left hand know what the right hand was up to,'' an officer said. Sources have also confirmed that at least two members of the present module were present near L-11, Batla House, the encounter site on September 13, 2008, though till then they had no knowledge of the exact role played by the Azamgarh module. "We believe that these men were not part of any bombings prior to 2010, but we have evidence which suggest that they assembled as early as December 2008 and decided to take forward the IM agenda,'' said a source. Earlier, investigators had believed that the Bihar module had only become active after the Azamgarh (Uttar Pradesh) module, operating under Atif Ameen, was busted in the Batla House encounter in September 2008.

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

Worried over the massive flow of hawala money to Kashmir separatists, some individuals, militant ‘commanders’ and organisations, supporting the cause of militancy, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has assigned the task to block illegal financial channels of militants to a high level expert committee comprising top brass of Intelligence Bureau, Enforcement Directorate, Income Tax Department, security agencies involved in operations in Jammu and Kashmir and Director General of Police (DGP), reports Daily Excelsior. Official sources said that it was not only Ghulam Nabi Fai, the head of Kashmir American Council (KAC), who has been sentenced to two years jail term by a Virginia Court in United States, but many other individuals and organisations, which had funded the terror network in Jammu and Kashmir using different modus operandi. "Though the hawala channels involving businessmen of New Delhi, Mumbai, Uttar Pradesh and some other States were used commonly to provide funds to separatist leaders, terror outfits, various other individuals and their organisations, the worrisome factor for the security and Intelligence agencies had been the use of banking transactions for funding militancy. Numerous instances have come to the fore wherein the hawala money reached Kashmir through banking transactions, not directly but from New Delhi. The transactions had been made from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and various European nations by some individuals and organisations,” sources said. Police and Intelligence agencies have discovered that hawala money running into hundreds of crores of rupees has been diverted to Kashmir not only from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia but various European nations through banking transactions and private routes over the past few years.

The Government on April 8 today expanded the Special Investigating Team (SIT), constituted on April 7, to investigate links, hawala transactions, terror funding and other activities of Kashmiri American Council (KAC) founder-chairman, Sayyid Ghulam Nabi Fai, by adding two more senior members to it including one from the Intelligence wing of State Police and another from prosecution, reports Daily Excelsior. Sources said that the Intelligence officer would share information gathered by Intelligence agencies of other States and the Central agencies about Fai’s network in Jammu and Kashmir and other parts of the country while the prosecution officer would assess extent of involvement of the accused and evidence against them. "The SIT would interrogate all those persons, whose names have figured during questioning of Fai in the United States and all those, who had been in frequent touch with him in the United States’’, sources said. They added that the SIT has been asked to gather details from all Intelligence agencies of the country mainly the Intelligence Bureau pertaining to links of Fai. Sources said in addition to unraveling the nexus of Fai’s agents in Jammu and Kashmir, the SIT has also been asked to go into details of cases registered against Fai, including a Public Safety Act (PSA) warrant pending against him. The PSA warrant had been issued against Fai in 1980 by the then Deputy Commissioner, Badgam for his involvement in anti-national activities. However, Fai had deserted Kashmir after issuance of PSA warrant against him in 1980 and settled in Saudi Arabia for sometime before finally settling in the United States, where he had floated KAC. Fai was recently sentenced to two years imprisonment by a Virginia court in the United States.

The court had framed charges against all the four accused under various sections of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act on March 3, 2012. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) in 2011 had filed the charge sheet against the four, indicting them for procuring over INR 45.7 million from Pakistan through hawala channels within three years after 2008 for funding the terrorist activities in the Valley. Detailing their modus operandi, the NIA had said Ganai developed a close relationship with Delhi-based Raj Kumar and his brother-in-law Rajeev Nankani and motivated them to collect money on their behalf from hawala operatives in New Delhi. "Between November 2008 to October 2010, Raj Kumar alone collected Rs 2.25 crore [INR 22.5 million] in various instalments from hawala operators here," the charge sheet had said. The Special Cell of Delhi Police on January 22, 2011, had arrested Srinagar-based lawyer Bhat, Ganai, Liloo and Dagga from J&K on a tip-off that they were carrying hawala money, allegedly meant for the HM. It had also recovered INR 2.12 million 1 from them.

The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has claimed that the funds received by Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Yasin Bhatkal from Dubai through the hawala (illegal money transfer) channel were used to send recruits to Pakistan to receive terror training, as reported on June 5, 2012 by dnaindia.com. Apart from being used in the July 13, 2011 (13/7) blasts, the funds were also used to pay the deposit for the Habib Mansion flat in Mumbai. The ATS, in its chargesheet, said, “During the course of investigation it has transpired that Yasin Bhatkal has utilised the money received by him through hawala for paying the deposit of the rental room in Mumbai and other places. The funds were also distributed to other members for the purpose of causing terrorist acts and sending Muslim youths to Pakistan for terror training”. Until now, the investigators had claimed that only Bhatkal, alias Shivanand, was in touch with arrested Delhi-based hawala operator Kawalnayan Pathreja. However, investigations have now revealed that Wakas Shaikh, one of the planters in the case, was also in touch with Pathreja. “We had seized two broken mobile phones and two pocket diaries from Pathreja’s residence, but one of the diaries contained a page of the month of July wherein the name of Wakas Shaikh was written by Pathreja. This means Wakas was in touch with him and some dealing had taken place in the month of July between them,” said the officer. Further, Investigations revealed that suspected Pakistani bomber Waqqas (Wakas Shaikh) had helped his co-accused steal two Activa scooters from Grant Road and V P Road areas a day before the explosions, as reported by The Times of India. Last week, the ATS arrested Naqi Ahmed and Nadeem Akhtar for stealing two bikes and two Activa scooters. In its chargesheet, the ATS said that Waqqas had accompanied Ahmed and Akhtar when they went to steal the vehicles. According to sources, Waqqas had joined a gym in Byculla and went there regularly to work out. "He stayed in a rented room in Habib Mansion in Byculla for almost nine months with the other suspected Pakistani bomber, Tabrez. Waqqas also participated in assembling of the bomb in the rented room. On the day of the blasts, Waqqas and Tabrez went to Opera House on one of the stolen scooters around 1.30pm and the former planted the bomb there near a hawker. The bomb was not fitted into this scooter," said a source

Investigators probing the July 13, 2011 (13/7) triple blasts have learnt that Delhi-based hawala (illegal money transfer) operator Kanwalnayan Pathrija not only transferred funds for the bombings, but also used three SIM cards obtained on fake documents as reported by The Times of India on June 6, 2012. The SIM cards were from a set of cards provided to operatives of Indian Mujahideen (IM). According to the chargesheet filed by the anti-terrorism squad (ATS), suspected Pakistani bombers Waqqas Shaikh and Tabrez alias Danish, arrested accused Naquee Ahmed and Nadeem Akhtar and wanted accused Tehseen Shaikh and Muzaffar Kola had used SIM cards which were obtained using forged documents. "Pathrija (42) used three such SIM cards," said an ATS officer. "We have obtained the call detail records of these SIMs." The ATS chargesheet in the 13/7 case also mentions that the DNA of a woman was found in Byculla's Habib Mansion, the building where the suspected bombers stayed. "We had sent several seized items to the state forensic science laboratory for analysis. The forensic reports state that one of the three toothbrushes seized by the police from the room contains a woman's DNA," said an ATS officer. "It is likely that a family stayed in the room before the bombers rented it. Our probe has not reaveled the involvement of a woman, but we are probing all angles," the officer added.

The officers of the Maharashtra anti-terrorism squad (ATS) interrogating Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Mohammed Kafeel Ahmed, in connection with July 13, 2011 (13/7) triple blasts in the city, have said that he is the key conduit in what is believed to be a well-spread out hawala (illegal money transfer) network that channels underworld money to the terror group. Kafeel, the caretaker of a local mosque and well-versed with scriptures, travelled across the country to spot and train fresh recruits into the IM cadre, ATS officials said. The interrogation has also revealed that Kafeel knows how the INR 3.75 crore ransom collected in the 2001 kidnapping of shoe baron Partho Roy Burman in West Bengal was routed through hawala channels. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) believe that the money was used to fund the 9 /11 World Trade Centre attack in US, as well as the attack on the American Center at Kolkata in 2002, and that the kidnapping was carried out by persons who went on to form the home-grown IM. His interrogation has revealed over a dozen names that play a crucial role in the IM set up. Kafeel, along with Muzaffar Kola could throw light on terror financing through hawala networks, said police sources. Kola, whom the ATS alleges to be the key person who channelled INR 10 lakh to 13/7 mastermind Yasin Bhatkal through his hawala network, was also involved in the transfer of ransom money in the Burman case.

Based on intelligence inputs, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has asked banks to scrub the system to spot the transfer of funds to an account in Lahore (Pakistan), in what is seen as a significant move to spot beneficiaries and supporters of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) founder Hafiz Saeed in India, as reported on August 24, by The Times of India. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) is said to have stumbled upon "huge funds being transferred to Jamaat-Ud-Dawa [JuD] account in the name of Al-Rashid Trust and the money is coming from Arab countries". IB believes some of the terror funding to Saeed might have been routed through Indian banks and has sought RBI's assistance. Earlier, on August 21, the RBI sent an alert to banks across the country giving details of Saeed's bank account in Pakistan and has asked them to keep a tab on every transaction in the name of "Lashkar" or "Al-Rashid" or even if the name is being used in any remittance. "We are in receipt of a communication from IB... The funds collected from LeT are being deposited in the Account Number — 2011816001 — in Faisal Islamic Bank of Bahrain (Lahore, Pakistan)," RBI said in its letter to banks. When asked about the use of word "huge funds", an official said, "organizations linked to Saeed receive large funding from Arab countries." Moreover, an Islamic charity, also named Al-Rashid Trust was linked to Osama bin Laden and post-9/11 attacks was among the 27 groups listed by the US for alleged involvement in financing and supporting terrorist groups.

Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials said that the networks for both hawala (illegal money transfer channel) and FICN are the same. The hawala market is an INR 20 billion business in India alone and nearly INR 12 billion emerges out of Delhi alone. The report also said that a 'Muslim Defence Fund' (MDF) has been set up by the D-gang (led by Pakistan based Dawood Ibrahim) in Delhi. The primary objective of the MDF was to ensure that money kept flowing in to India which could be used for subversive activities. Earlier, the MDF was being mainly used for a hawala transaction between Riyadh and Delhi, but today there are signs of them getting into the FICN market as well.

Delhi Police on October 14, have identified a house where the conspiracy for Pune blast hatched hatched, reports Hindustan Times. Sayyed Feroze, led a team of the Delhi Police Special Cell to a house which he and five others had rented as a meeting ground a month prior to the bid. Sources said they had questioned the owner of the house and recorded his statement before proceeding to two other locations. These include an adjacent cycle market and a wholesale electronics market where Feroze identified some shops he had visited to procure material to construct the Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) used to execute five simultaneous blasts. The Times of India, reports on October 15, that despite the arrest of three suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists who were planning major strikes in Delhi during the Diwali season, sources in Delhi Police say that the threat is not over. Investigators suspect that the two absconding terrorists of this module Shaqir and Ahmed, who are bomb making experts, could well be in the city and may carry out blasts with the help of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) sleeper cells. According to sources, the money for Diwali attacks was to come through a Delhi-based hawala (illegal money transfer) dealer, who is being looked for now. To avert any tragedy, the special cell is looking for other IM militants in Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR) region and security has been beefed up in crowded markets.
