Police in Varanasi have planned a sector security scheme (SSS) to replace the standard operating procedues (SOP) in their 'war' against terror attack, The Times of India reports on April 3. Superintendant of Police (SP), city, Rahul Raj said that SOPs were prepared between 2008 and 2010 for sites like Sankat Mochan Temple, Dashaswamedh Ghat, Cantonment railway station, multiplexes and some places of public gathering."The SOPs defined procedures for forces for rescuing people along with taking on the terrorists. It was meant to be used only after a terror attack," explained Raj and added, "The SSS aims at foiling terrorists' bid by preventing them from reaching the sensitive sites to execute their plan." The intelligence agencies too kept on providing inputs regarding possible attacks at highly sensitive Kashi Vishwanath Gyanvapi complex, historical sites of Sarnath and some other points of the city. "The SOPs for sensitive sites were prepared on the basis of these incidents and intelligence inputs," said an officer. "Increased political activities have enhanced vulnerability of many city areas like Assi Ghat and Crossing," said Raj and added that in view of these developments and fresh inputs from intelligence agencies, the security agencies decided to revisit, redevelop and modernize the old SOPs. Under the SSS, sensitive areas have been divided into two cordons. The areas mentioned in SOPs would form the inner cordon with a defined outer cordon in SSS. "The outer cordon would include all entry and exit routes to inner cordon," said the official and added, "These routes would be properly manned by armed security personnel to thwart any attempt by a terror module to reach the inner cordon." Under SSS, the highrise buildings adjacent to sensitive places too have been identified for permanent security posts at rooftops. Close circuit televisions too have been installed at many places. The SP said that additional force has been also sought from police headquarters to launch the scheme on permanent basis.

The Shillong Times reports on April 3 that while the people of militancy-torn Garo Hills have been clamoring for peace, reports have been received about the formation of yet another militant outfit going by the name of A’chik Revolutionary Front (ARF). The ‘information and public relations department in charge’ of the new outfit, identified as Lieutenant Chugrim called up The Shillong Times office and gave brief details about the outfit’s formation. He said that the ARF was formed on April 1 to raise the voice of the Garo people against the prevailing menace unleashed by various militant groups in the name of a separate Garo State and to initiate speedy peace settlement in accordance with the carving of a separate state for Garos. Informing that the rank and designation of its cadres were divided in accordance with the ‘Army Formation Rules’, the militant leader revealed that its main objectives were to resolve the vexed Garoland issue by carving out Garo Hills state from mainland India, to protect and preserve the dignity and the rights of the Garos, to uplift the poor and the downtrodden and to raised the voice of the Garo people against the diktats of several Garo Hills-based militant groups. However, the statement failed to clarify on the aims and objectives of the outfit or the location of its Headquarters saying it was yet to arrive at a solid confirmation, details for which would be provided later. According to the militant leader, the ARF has been formed with Grongdik as ‘major general’, Danil as ‘deputy commander-in-chief’, ‘Captain’ Millam as ‘general secretary’, ‘Captain’ Dimik as ‘joint secretary’, ‘Lieutenant’ Chugrim (‘information and public relations’), ‘Lieutenant’ Sepi (‘finance’), ‘Lieutenant’ Chanchi (‘foreign affairs’), Nitorak (‘adviser’) and Marang as ‘president’, among others.

The Eastern Regional Bureau of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has come up with its 'short-term vision' document, appealing to the masses to decide if they want "real democracy" or go ahead with the existing "pseudo-democratic system" by casting their franchise to form the 16th Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament), reports The Times of India on April 4. "Dismantling the patriarchal and male dominated socio-legal structure, we propose to give equal socio-economic rights to women in the country, thereby making death penalty compulsory for molestation and rape." This forms a part of the four-page manifesto released by the CPI-Maoist. In the manifesto, Sanket, spokesperson of the Eastern Regional Bureau of the CPI-Maoist, stated his party's stand in dealing with various issues like agriculture, industrialization, environment, the concept of secularism, and relations with neighbouring countries. Significantly, the manifesto recognizes and respects all forms of separatist movements in various parts of the country and promises not to suppress them with the power of the gun of the 'state'. "Our concept of neo-democracy does not believe in forcing the nationalist movements to be a part of the Indian Union. Our state would honour nationalist movements and self-decision to allow them dignified and peaceful co-existence," the manifesto reads.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has increased surveillance since last few months and its major priority is to stop the flow of Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) during elections, India Today reports on April 4. "Crores of currency notes which are not printed in Indian mints has landed in the country," one NIA official disclosed. But the agency does not have a uniform estimate of the fake currency in circulation. The NIA source say, "till recently, higher denomination notes dominated the fake market, but now printing smaller denominations like INR 10 and INR 20, which are harder to detect or seize, have the potential to cause a loss of confidence in the Indian rupee." According to NIA, after being printed in facilities across the border, the consignments are smuggled into India through a well-established channel in Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates. In 2013, the China route was used to send a FICN consignment into India. Organised crime syndicates and terrorist groups like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and the Indian Mujahideen (IM) are also part of this racket, along with drug traffickers, arms smugglers, and possibly some Indian customs personnel.

The spate of arrests of senior Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives in recent months was the result of a long-drawn intelligence operation by Indian agencies, specially Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), which has, in the process, uncovered an ambitious Pakistan-sponsored terror effort plotted in collusion with Indian fugitives in the aftermath of the November 2008 Mumbai attack, reported Indian Express on April 4. The certainty of this plot was established after R&AW, India’s external intelligence agency, made successful inroads into the network. As it emerges, a key fugitive among the IM leaders may have decided to switch loyalties in exchange for favours for his kin in India. It was this channel that eventually revealed the whereabouts of Waqas and Tehseen alias Monu, sources said.

The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) on April 4 inaugurated Intelligence Training School (ITS) in Kasba area of Kolkata, reports The Times of India. The ITS will help train SSB officers and personnel manning the Indo-Nepal and Indo-Bhutan borders gather intelligence that will help in operations. The ITS in Kolkata will also be used by other agencies to train officers and personnel. Arun Chaudhary, Director General (DG), SSB, said that the time has come for the SSB to approach intelligence gathering in a region specific manner as India is in the tri-junction of three nations and has a multicultural society. As a result, the SSB felt the acute need to have a training centre in Kolkata to tackle the typical needs along the Indo-Nepal and Indo-Bhutan borders. Singh highlighted the changing patterns of crime, growing restlessness of Maoists and separatists elements, the changing tactics of terrorism, smugglers, human traffickers, Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) dealers and drug peddlers. The increasing demand for human intelligence has compelled police forces across the board to work harder and find ways on the move which are not advisable. "As a lead intelligence agency for Indo-Nepal and Indo-Bhutan borders, the SSB is gearing up to remain several steps ahead of anti-national elements. This will also help to fine tune our tactics. While knowledge of technological maneuvers used by anti-national elements will be disseminated, the emphasis and dependency on human intelligence will not reduce," a senior official said.

In a statement on April 6, Abhay, 'spokesperson' of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) central committee, said the party was not against peace talks with the Government, reports The Hindu. This is the first time in almost four years that the outlawed party is taking the initiative for talks. In its latest overture, the CPI-Maoist laid down five conditions for talks. First, the Government should accept the Maoist movement as political, the 'spokesperson' said. Second, the party reiterated its demand of lifting the ban on it and frontal, mass organisations. “The attacks on leaders and activists should stop,” he said. Third, the party demanded that the “killers” of Azad, top leader who was negotiating a framework for peace talks in 2010, be booked and punished. Fourth, the Government should stop paramilitary and Police aggression against people in rural areas under partial control of the Maoists. “In order to preserve our leadership from the conspiracies of the ruling classes to decimate our party leadership one more time in the name of talks, all veteran comrades in prisons should be released,” Abhay said.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres are illegally mining and selling coal from coalfields owned by Coal India Limited (CIL), causing revenue losses of up to INR 6000 million a year, according to a top executive, reports livemint.com on April7. The illegal extraction and sale by the Maoists is impacting coal output to the tune of three million tonnes (mt) at the state-run firm and hitting operations at its subsidiary Central Coalfields Limited. The revelation comes at a time when CIL reported a production shortfall of around 20 mt in the last financial year that ended on March 31, 2014. “We are suffering a coal production loss of at least three mt every year. This coal could have given us Rs.600 crore as revenue, of which Rs.300 crore would have been profit. We can’t mine because of the Naxal problem,” the CIL executive said.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has condemned the killing of Sai Reddy, eminent journalist of south Chhattisgarh, who it earlier said was murdered by party cadres on December 6, 2013, for “closely working” with the Police to dislodge the party in south Bastar, reports The Hindu. In a new press statement issued in question-answer format on April 6, Abhay, 'spokesperson' of the central committee, said a certain decision regarding Sai Reddy was “not passed” to the lower ranks properly, and the resulting misunderstanding between the cadres and the leadership led to the killing. Besides condemning the killing of Sai Reddy and Nemichand Jain, the party criticised its cadres for planting Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) on the body of a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) trooper in Latehar District in Jharkhand in 2013.

A large consignment of weapons has reportedly been smuggled into India from Bangladesh after being shipped from Pakistan, India Today reports on April 9. Indian intelligence agencies tracked a boat named 'Padma' that was docked at Kutubdia port in Bangladesh about two weeks ago. The vessel was used to transport the consignment of weapons that was offloaded at the port before being smuggled into India through border along Bangladesh's Jessore District, sources said. Sources suspect the weapons could be intended for insurgent groups, especially the Maoists, who look determined to disrupt the polls in the 'Red Zone'. "We suspect the arms were transported to Murshidabad in West Bengal. The West Bengal Police have been alerted," said an intelligence officer. Maoist strongholds in states like Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa and Bihar go to polls on April 10 and 17. The sources said the boat began its voyage from the Pakistani port city of Karachi. While intelligence agencies were able to track the vessel's movement, they lost track of the arms consignment after it entered India, they said. "As per our information, the weapons were loaded with some other cargo," an officer said.

DRI has asked customs officials posted at international transit points to remain extra vigilant during the Lok Sabha polls and keep a check on passengers and baggages coming from sensitive sectors including the Gulf, official sources said. Customs officials have been also asked to be alert at international transit land routes, including the Attari-Wagah border (Punjab) and Munabao Railway Station in Jodhpur (Rajasthan), among others, the sources said. "Ports along the country's coast lines bringing in cargo from other nations have also been alerted to keep a check on smuggling of fake currency notes and circulation of black money," an official said. The customs officials are also maintaining a strict vigil on frequent passengers to and from Gulf nations and South East sector (Malaysia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand, among others). The DRI has found that Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh, among others, have fast emerged as new routes for smugglers to push Pakistan-printed FICN, the sources said.

Barring a few stray incidents of violence, polling in 10 Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) and 70 Assembly constituencies in Odisha passed off by and large peacefully on April 10, reports The Hindu. A large number of people came out to vote defying the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) threat and the voters’ turnout was provisionally put to be around 67 per cent. The percentage of votes polled was likely to increase as details were not received from many polling booths located in remote areas. The 10 Lok Sabha constituencies spread over 19 Districts of the State, where polling was held in the first phase in the State were Kalahandi, Balangir, Sambalpur, Bargarh, and Sundargarh in western Odisha and Koraput, Nabarangpur, Berhampur, Aska and Kandhamal in the southern region. According to officials sources, Angul District recorded the highest voters’ turnout of 73 per cent, while Maoist-affected Malkangiri District recorded lowest of 55 per cent. Though 1,601 polling stations were identified as vulnerable out of the total 17,266 booths in view of the presence of Maoists in about 50 Assembly segments spread over the two regions, no major incidents of violence was reported. However, polling in about 10 booths was affected due to burning down of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs). In the night of April 9 a truck carrying EVMs for four booths in Mahupadar area under Mathili Police Station in Malkangiri District was set ablaze by miscreants suspected to be Maoists. Apart from it there are reports that the EVM of Polsari booth under Mathili Police Station limits were snatched away by miscreants and EVMs of three booths of Jodamba area a cut off area of Balimela reservoir in Malkangiri District were damaged by Maoists. In Koraput District, EVMs of two booths were allegedly snatched away by miscreants but polling was peaceful in Narayanpatna Block of the District.

Counterfeit rackets are pumping more Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) into the Indian market than ever before, The Times of India reports on April 10. The face value of forged notes seized has surged by more than 440 per cent over five years, from INR 38,18,600 in 2008 to INR 1,69,46,970 in 2013, and investigators say confiscated notes represent only a small fraction of the amount of counterfeit notes in circulation at any given time. According to Police officers Malda in West Bengal has become a major centre for FICN brought in from Bangladesh, but various sections of the border remain porous and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) uses terror groups in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) as the main conduits to pump large quantities of fakes through the northeast, across the border with Nepal and through Jammu and Kashmir. It also uses the sea route, with fake notes landing along coastal Kerala where enforcement is having to contend with an explosion of radical groups and parts of Tamil Nadu. Intelligence bureau (IB) officials say there are several major players, with at least one in the UAE, nine in Bangladesh and 17 in Nepal. The network includes 10 key operatives in Malda District, to which Police traced a majority of the counterfeit notes seized in the state. Officers of the Crime Branch of Crime Investigation Department (CID) on the counterfeit trail say gangs dealing in fakes, most of which are bankrolled by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), now appear to almost exclusively target large cities like Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Kochi. The relative affluence and total value of transactions in these cities makes it easier to palm off fake notes.

However, in a statement e-mailed to the media, the ULFA called upon Rangali Bihu celebration organisations and all artistes in Assam to refrain from facilitating showcasing of ‘outside culture’ including singing of Hindi movie songs as part of Bihu celebrations throughout the state. The ULFA stated that its stand on maintaining the traditional colour and characters of Rangali Bihu would remain unchanged in the greater interest of protection of specific identity of Assamese people and their culture. It said showcasing of alien culture and performing Hindi songs was not in tune with the spirit of Rangali Bihu as it would provide people from outside an opportunity to look down upon the festival.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has pulled up the Meghalaya Government for its tardy approach to completing fencing of the Bangladesh border, around 70 kilometer remaining to be fenced, reports Nagaland Post. During a recent coordination meeting, the ministry asked Meghalaya Government officials to expedite fencing work as the area was prone to infiltration by militants and illegal migration. Meghalaya shares a 443-km border with Bangladesh, of which around 70 km is unfenced and has terrain difficult to patrol. From 2008 to 2013, the state government identified around 18,000 illegal Bangladeshi migrants who were deported. MHA said construction work in Meghalaya had been suspended for long due to protests by the Coordination Committee on International Border (CCIB). The CCIB is a conglomerate of organisations like Khasi Students Union (KSU), Federation of Khasi Jaintia and Garo People (FKJGP), Hynniewtrep National Youth Front (HNYF), Synjuk Seng Samla Shnong (SSSS), Jaintia Youth Federation (JYF), Federal Council of War Mihngi-War Jaintia, headmen and representatives of villages along the border.

Even though polls in ‘core’ Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) areas in the country are over, intelligence inputs have warned of the possibility of ‘spectacular attacks’ in areas under ‘mild’ Maoist influence that go to polls on April 17, reports The Times of India. Intelligence agencies have spotted movement of Maoist cadres from ‘core’ Maoist areas to ‘non-core’ areas, suggesting that the Maoists would try to take advantage of the thinly spread-out force and its lack of alertness in what are being seen as 'soft' areas. Inputs have been received about movement of Maoist cadres from Bastar (Chhattisgarh) towards Kanker (Chhattisgarh) and from Bihar and Jharkhand towards Sarguja in Chhattisgarh. Similarly, movement of Maoist cadres has been spotted in Odisha shifting from Malkangiri to Nabarangpur. Polls in core Maoist areas such as Bastar, Malkangiri, Jamui, Aurangabad, Gaya, Chatra, Palamu, Lohardaga and Gadchiroli were held together on April 10.

Serving a blow to Sarania, the ULFA faction in a statement e-mailed to the media appealed to the voters in Kokrajhar constituency not to vote for him as he had ‘made mockery’ of extreme sacrifices made by hundreds of martyrs of ULFA who laid down their lives for the ‘national struggle’, by participating in election to India Parliament against the principles and ideology of the ULFA. The ULFA faction also made it clear that it had in no way extended any tactical support to the electoral battle of Naba Kumar Sarania who has already been expelled from the ULFA because of his individual decision to stand in parliamentary election of India. Naba Kumar Sarania alias Hira Sarania (as he was known as a ULFA leader) is in the fray in the ethnically sensitive Kokrajhar Lok Sabha constituency in western Assam.

The move follows a Thai court’s nod to extradite the gunrunner. “Willy’s extradition and arrest will also help us build a watertight case against Shimray who is facing trial in an NIA court in Delhi in a case related to a criminal conspiracy for illegal procurement of a shipload of sophisticated arms and ammunition from China,” the source said. Willy was detained by Police in Bangkok in August, 2013 following a tip-off provided by India. A Thai court recently issued an order for his extradition after hearing a request made by India. A non-bailable warrant and a red-corner notice were issued against Willy in this NIA case in 2011. The Indian government had requested Thailand for Willy’s extradition through a diplomatic channel and Indian officers had testified against him in the Thai court. “The Bangkok court has given Willy a period of 30 days to prefer an appeal against the extradition order if he so desires, which will expire early next month,” the source said. After he is extradited, Willy will have to face trial with Shimray in the NIA case (number RC-01/2010).

Though there was peaceful re-polling in 15 booths in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-hit Chitrakonda Assembly seat in Malkangiri District of Odisha on April 17, however no votes were cast in eight polling stations mostly due to Maoist fear, reports Zee News. No votes were polled in the seven booths in cut-off areas of Balimela reservoir -- Andrapalli, Sanyasiguda, Handikhol, Panasput, Sirongi, Gorasetu and Jantri and one booth in Mathili area. The officials said it is the fear of the Maoists and the long distance to the polling stations that discouraged voters. The re-polling was ordered in the 15 booths as the Maoists had snatched away Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) and set them on fire during the April 10 polls.

The Assam Tribune reports on April 18 that in a fresh attempt to woo away youths of the North East from militancy, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is now exploring the possibility of organising sports tournaments in the region to tap sports talents. The plan mooted by the MHA is to help the youth nurture their talent and get exposure in the national and international events through proper training. The sports competitions will be organised by the paramilitary forces under their community outreach programmes. Home Ministry officials said there is a large pool of untapped talent in remote and tribal areas, particularly in the North East, and sports competitions would help authorities to identify such talents and bring them to national training facilities. “This would also supplement the government’s efforts to wean the teenagers away from the cult of violence and hatred spread by Naxal and insurgent groups,” according to Home Ministry sources. Several of the sportsmen from the region have become brand ambassadors of major brands in the country. The Ministry feels that there are more sports talents in the North East like MC Mary Com and Baichung Bhutia.

Superintendent of Police (SP), Sopore, Abdul Qayoom said that it was not clear whether the man arrested with the alleged abductor was a Policeman. “We’re not sure if Mudasir is a cop or not. I can’t confirm or deny it. We have recovered an identity card from the house and on that basis we’re conducting investigations,” he added. Officials said Dar flanked by his associates barged into the house of Ghulam Mohi-ud-din War in Nowpora and tried to abduct his daughter.

Indian Mujhaideen (IM) operatives Tehsin Akhtar and Waqas, revealed to Delhi Police that terror groups in India, are relying more on indigenously made weapons and ammunition, from underground ‘arms factories’, rather than smuggling them in from abroad, an official said, Oman Tribune reports on April 21. Special Commissioner of Police S.N. Srivastava said that the IM has begun to rely on what is called in local parlance as ‘country-made weapons’ to keep off the radar of security agencies. “Earlier, members of SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and other Kashmir-based terror groups used to procure arms and ammunition from overseas. But the IM has changed its strategy,” Srivastava said. “The IM men are able to easily get country-made weapons from local criminals. This strategy also puts them at a low risk of arrest,” said the officer. Another officer said that Tehsin and Waqas were adept at putting together explosives for the terror group. The IM members were carrying 70 bombs, which they were planning to use to mar the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) elections. The arrested IM operatives, all part of the Rajasthan module, told interrogators that they were taking the help of local criminals to purchase arms and explosives.

The Sanmilita Janagostiya Aikkyamancha (SJA), a conglomeration of at least 20 ethnic and linguistic groups based in Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) has alleged that the pro-talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) group has asked all its members not to vote for independent candidate Hira Sarania in Kokrajhar constituency, reports The Times of India. A leader of the pro-talks group, Sarania entered the fray even though his organization is in peace talks with the Centre. Sarania continued to campaign in the four Districts of Chirang, Kokrajhar, Udalguri and Baksa in the BTAD and is being backed by the SJA. While criticizing Rajkhowa for the diktat, the group said the ULFA-PTF has no right to impose its views on others. "They (Rajkhowa and others) never raised their voice when non-Bodos and other ethnic groups suffered during violence in the BTAD region. Now their decree only hints that the outfit's leaders are in nexus with the Bodoland Peoples' Front (BPF) led by Hagrama Mohilary. Sarania was fielded by the people and we believe he is going to win by a huge margin," said SJA general secretary Matiur Rahman. The group also alleged that BPF workers were involved in attacking a vehicle of one of its worker in Baksa in the night of April 17. Unidentified miscreants allegedly shot at a vehicle of an SJA worker and vandalized a poll office of Sarania at Musalpur in Baksa.

Separatist Yasin Malik headed Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) has printed more than 1,00,000 pamphlets with pictures of militants Afzal Guru and Maqbool Bhat (JKLF founder) to seek a pledge of boycott of Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) elections, Hindustan Times reports on April 21. An on-line poll boycott campaign sees thousands of anti-polls posters on walls of social networking sites, recalling killings of civilians to seek pledges from prospective voters against polls. "Boycotting Indian elections is our moral and political right as well as duty because these elections are meant to weaken our struggle and voice," said JKLF 'chief' Yasin Malik. "Casting vote is betrayal with Guru and Bhat," Malik added. Moreover, United Jehad Council (UJC) 'chief' Syed Salahuddin has asked separatists to step up poll boycott campaign. "Pro-freedom leaders, who are yet to start poll boycott campaign, should launch a massive anti-election campaign otherwise their tag of treachery will not fade till the day of judgment," said Salahuddin. He said "no one will be allowed to betray the sacrifices offered by Kashmiri martyrs".

The main terror suspect of IM module in Jodhpur (Rajasthan), Mohammad Saqib Ansari has been remanded to 10 days' Police custody on April 21, reports The Times of India. Two others, Mohammed Waqar and Mohammed Mahroof, who were arrested from Jaipur are also in ATS custody. All the three were brought to Rajasthan from Delhi on a transit remand. ATS will interrogate the trio over the next few days and also carry out physical verification of various places. As a case under Explosive Substances Act is registered against Waqar and Saqib, the ATS will try to know from where they procured the explosives allegedly seized from them when they were arrested in March. Zee News reports on April that five months after the February 13, 2010 bomb blast at Pune, IM planned to carry out a terror strike at German Bakery in Delhi on August 1 but the plan was aborted as one of the executors, Quateel Siddiqui (who later died in Yerawada Jail of Pune) sustained bullet injuries due to accidental firing, Delhi Police said.

The Shillong Times reports that Mizoram has undertaken a fresh initiative to take back the tribal refugees sheltering in neighbouring Tripura for the past 17 years after fleeing from their villages. “A meeting of the State Level Core Committee on tribal refugee repatriation, chaired by Mizoram Home Minister R. Lalzirliana was held in Aizawl on April 21. It was decided in the meeting to resume the repatriation before the counting of votes of the Lok Sabha election May 16,” a Mizoram home department official told reporters. The official said the home department would take up the matter with the Election Commission to find out whether the refugee repatriation process would violate the model code of conduct in force for the Lok Sabha polls. He said the central government has sanctioned INR 78.7 million as financial assistance to the repatriated refugees. “Adequate foodgrain has been stored to provide free rations to the repatriated tribal refugees for one year.” Mizoram Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla and six voluntary organisations have been demanding the refugees to be repatriated to their villages in Mizoram and then allowed to cast their votes in the normal process. Only about 5,000 refugees returned to their homes in the past three-and-half years following continued persuasion by Mizoram, Tripura and the union home ministry officials. The repatriation process was subsequently stopped. The refugees insist on a written agreement with the Mizoram Government assuring them security and economic settlement in their villages in western Mizoram.

Security agencies in Kolkata are worried about a possible terror threat from Rohingyas in Myanmar, The Times of India reports on April 22. It all started when Bangladeshi national Mujibur Rehman was arrested in March for staying at a guest house near Thakurpukur Cancer Hospital purportedly for the treatment of his "relative." The Chittagong resident carried a valid passport and visa and his aide Amanullah produced a voter's identify card from Hyderabad. However, when the anti-terror unit- Special Task Force (STF) took over investigation, it found that Amanullah was neither a Hyderabad resident nor was he a Bangladeshi. He is a Rohingya Muslim who entered India some months ago. Worse, he had recently received a huge amount of money from Saudi Arabia through hawala (illegal money transaction) channels. At present, 86 Rohingya Muslims are lodged in jails of West Bengal. So far, another eight "Bangladeshi" nationals have been arrested from the Haridevpur area of Kolkata. "We are ascertaining their real identities," said an official of Kolkata Police.

Delhi Police Special Cell on April 23 took alleged Madhya Pradesh 'chief' of Student's Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) Abu Faisal alias 'Doctor' in custody, according to The Times of India. Faisal was re-arrested by Madhya Pradesh Anti Terrorist Squad (ATS) from Barwani District after his escape from Khandwa prison with six others on October 2. He has been taken to Delhi from Bhopal for interrogation on his suspected links with Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas, a Pakistani national and Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative who was arrested last month from Ajmer (Rajasthan). It is alleged that Abu developed contacts with Waqas in Munnar, Kerala, where Waqas lived in hiding, disguised as a Maharashtrian named Nabil Ahmad in 2013. While in Kerala, Waqas faced financial problems and received money through Western Union money transfer. Delhi Police suspect Abu Faisal deposited funds in Waqas's account. Abu was introduced to Waqas by alleged IM's present 'operational chief' of India, Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu. However, Waqas and Tehseen do not figure anywhere in the Abu Faisal's interrogation report prepared by Madhya Pradesh ATS. Recently, he was taken on transit remand by National Investigation Agency (NIA) for interrogation in connection with different terror attacks. According to sources in state ATS, Faisal has not approached any advocate for help in filing his bail application. When his father came to meet him at Bhopal jail, he said he would come clean.

The United Jehad Council (UJC) 'chief' Syed Salahudin on April 25 hailed the people of south Kashmir for observing boycott of Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) elections, reports Kashmir Times. According to a statement issued by Syed Sadat Hussian, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) 'spokesman' Salahuddin stated that the people of Kashmir have given a clear message to New Delhi that they reject the polls under the Indian constitution. “Despite the crackdown upon the leaders and terror unleashed on common people, the resistance shown by the people is sumptuous.” He has also warned that with the passage of time, the militant outfits will intensify their strikes against security forces. “Those who have betrayed the movement will have to answer here in this world and on the day of judgment. They will have to repent.” The UJC 'chief' has said that like Anantnag, he expects people will observe complete boycott in rest of the phases of elections in Kashmir. “That day is bound to come when Kashmiri will succeed in their freedom struggle,” Salahudin said while strongly condemning the force used against journalists in Kashmir. “No doubt a section of media is toeing Indian line but a major portion is reflecting the true sentiments of Kashmiri people.”

Ahead of Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) elections in Srinagar, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) posters have appeared in the old city area threatening attacks on Policemen and politicians, besides asking voters to stay away from polling, Indian Express reports on April 28. “Beware.

The posters warn attacks on polling stations, asking people not to this election. “We would not tolerate it that some conscienceless people will vote of these Indian agencies (mainstream political parties) or participate in their election campaigning,” the posters said. “We warn such people for the last time that don’t force us to spray bullets”. Srinagar will go to polls on April 30. The militant outfit further said: “Our movement has come to stage where we are constrained to leave our defensive approach and to adopt an offensive approach… We have decided that whosoever is a threat to our movement, may that be the local police, Indian army, a politician or for that matter somebody our own, we are announcing a war against him.”

Indian Mujahideen (IM) 'acting chief' Tehsin Akhtar alias Monu has told his interrogators that the militant organisation had split into two groups with two senior operatives - Ahmad Zarar Siddibappa alias Yasin Bhatkal and Mohammad Qateel Siddiqui running 'parallel leadership' in the outfit due to ideological and operational differences between them, The Times of India reports on April 28. Qateel, who was killed in Pune's Yerwada jail on June 8, 2012, had even pulled some members of the main leadership, led by Riyaz Bhatkal and Yasin Bhatkal in his group, claimed Tehsin. Qateel, according to Tehsin, had many reasons to part ways with Yasin Bhatkal, who had recruited him in the outfit. One of the reasons Qateel and Mohammad Adil alias Ajmal (Pakistani national who was involved in Jama Masjid attack on September 19, 2010) were displeased with Yasin as "Qateel and Adil wanted freedom to indulge in robbery etc while Yasin was not in favour of these activities", Tehsin said,. The members of Darbhanga module of IM who had become part of Qateel's group included Gayur Ahmed Jamali and Farookh, apart from Mohammad Adil. Farookh and Gayur were arrested by special cell of Delhi Police in November-December 2011. Talking further about the differences between Yasin and others, Tehsin said, "By that time (return of Yasin from Delhi), Adil was distraught and he was not following the orders of Yasin and was apparently in rebellion mode. Qateel was also following Adil in his protests against Yasin. After 2-3 days, Yasin told Adil to go back to Nepal."

With the arrest of top Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, including Pakistani bomb-making expert Waqas, Delhi Police and intelligence agencies suspect that the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) may be regrouping to launch its operations to gather funds for terror acts, The Times of India reports on April 27. The interrogation of Waqas, gave Police the first hint that the SIMI may be planning to regroup and strike roots in different parts of India, including New Delhi. Waqas told interrogators about the active members of SIMI. Police learned about his links with Abu Faizal alias "Doctor", arrested SIMI cadre, who used to motivate Muslim youth to form a separate wing called "Maal-e-Ganimat", to indulge in dacoity by robbing banks. As part of the "Maal-e-Ganimat", which means to acquire funds by any means, Faizal's group robbed a rural bank in Narmada in 2009. He was also involved in bank lootings in Dewas and Itarsi, in Madhya Pradesh. According to Police sources, IM 'commanders' based overseas, including in Pakistan, have asked their underground operatives in India to involve SIMI activists in regrouping. Sources say the regrouped SIMI might begin resorting to "Maal-e-Ganimat" or "Ganimat ka Maal". "If the SIMI is formed again, the incidents of robbery and dacoity might also increase in the country," a Police officer said. India Today reports on April 27 that for investigating the IM-SIMI linkage, Delhi Police has taken custody of Safdar Nagori who was the "general secretary" of SIMI. He would be brought to New Delhi in coming few days. He had been lodged in Sabarmati central jail since 2008. "We want to understand what was the level of cooperation between IM and SIMI and for this purpose Nagori and Faisal would be interrogated," said an officer close to the investigation. Along with Nagori, Abu Faisal would also be questioned about the possible whereabouts of Abdul Subhan Qureshi alias Tauqir, said to be SIMI's head.

Police have interrogated SIMI ideologue Safdar Nagori, operatives Imtiyaz and Abu Faisal in this connection and got some leads. Sirsa had received a call on his private number in March, 2014 from Aftab, an alleged SIMI cadre. "Aftab told Sirsa that SIMI was furious with him for organizing the Khalsa Fateh Diwas at Red Fort in March and alleged that the event was an attempt to insult Muslims. Sirsa told him that the programme was just a get-together but Aftab, who was speaking in Urdu, did not pay heed to him," a source said. Sources further said call detail records of the number from which the threat call was made has revealed that the user was in constant touch with some numbers in Dubai and the UK which are already under the radar of security agencies. The sources added that calls were also made to agencies in Delhi and Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) which provide security to VIPs. This has left cops puzzled about the possible motive.

Biju was picked up in Haryana and produced in an Udupi Court in Karnataka on April 30. Four cases of illegal sale had been registered against Thomas, sources said. Thomas was on the run for nearly three weeks after the Karkala Police raided his stockyard and seized more than 14,000 kilogrames of ammonium nitrate in connection with a case of illegal sales. The raids were conducted shortly after IM operatives Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas and Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu were brought to Mangalore on April 8 to identify their hideout at the Zephyr Heights apartment and their explosives supply source. “This seems to have been the primary source of explosives supply to the Indian Mujahideen. The identities of the actual intermediaries who exploited the illegal sale of explosives to source ammonium nitrate for terrorist operations is yet to be ascertained,” sources said. “The place where IM operatives stored explosives is also yet to be identified.”

A day after the arrest of Sakir Hussain, a suspected ISI agent from Sri Lanka, the Tamil Nadu 'Q' Branch Police arrested two more people from Chennai on April 30, reports The Times of India. Sources said the two suspects were closely working with Hussain. "A person from Choolaimedu and another from Sowcarpet were picked up on Wednesday. A special team is investigating their involvement in Hussain's scheme of things," an officer said. Sources said Hussain was taking orders from two senior officials - Siddique and Shah in the Pakistani High Commission in Colombo. "Sakir confessed that he met the Pakistani officials many times in the past one year and sent photographs and maps of US Consulate in Chennai and Israel Consulate in Bangalore. He visited Chennai six times in the past one year on fake passports. Sometimes he came here as a textile and pharma merchant, and stayed in a lodge called 'White House' in Mannady of Chennai District. Business Standard adds that Hussain had visited Tamil Nadu several times in the recent past and allegedly used a fake passport during one of his visits, Police sources said. Hussain during interrogation revealed that he had visited Tamil Nadu several times in the recent past. He also reportedly claimed he was a textile merchant who visited India for "bonafide" purposes, police sources said. A case has been registered against Hussain under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Hussain had allegedly conducted a reconnaissance mission as part of a conspiracy to attack foreign missions in southern India, The Hindu reports on May 1. He had taken photographs of the U.S. Consulate in Chennai, the Israeli Consulate in Bangalore and other vital installations, and studied their topography at the behest of Pakistani diplomat Amir Zubair Siddiqui, police sources said on Wednesday. Siddiqui, Counsellor (Visa) at the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo, and his associate Boss, alias Shah, are being named as accused along with Hussain. Siddiqui allegedly engaged Hussain to gather information on vital installations in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Shah, also said to be a Pakistani diplomat, was part of the plot designed by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). “We are naming Siddiqui and Shah as accused in the case … Hussain has confessed that he was taking instructions from them. This is the second case of terror activities involving Siddiqui. In September 2012, one Thameem Ansari, who was arrested on charges of videographing defence establishments, said he was working for Siddiqui,” a top Police official said.

Police have also placed separatist leaders Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq under house arrest. Besides, Shabbir Shah, Mohammad Yasin Malik, Nayeem Khan, Ayaz Akbar and some other separatists and activists have been detained and lodged in different Police Stations. “The arrests have been made and will continue to be effected to instil confidence among the voters so that no one attempts to intimidate the people by resorting to violence against those who want to exercise their franchise,” Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Spokesperson Kishore Prasad said. “As many as 241 companies of Paramilitary Forces will be deployed in the Srinagar-Budgam Parliamentary constituency comprising three Districts -- Srinagar, Budgam and Ganderbal-- to ensure incident-free and peaceful conduct of the Lok Sabha [Lower House of Indian Parliament] polls tomorrow,” Kishore Prasad said. “After violence and stone-pelting incidents in the South Kashmir constituency, we have taken more security measures to ensure peaceful conduct of the polls,” he said. Prasad said the areas were being watched and mobile bunkers were placed at vulnerable and sensitive pockets. “Besides, road opening parties will patrol the areas and security men will provide round-the- clock security to polling booths and staff,” he added. He said more police and paramilitary men would be deployed in stone-pelting-prone areas. Authorities have set up 1,546 polling booths at 968 locations in the high-profile constituency from where 14 candidates are in the fray.

The ANVC-B, albeit its separate entity since a section of its leadership came out from the parent body was not officially part of the peace pact entered with the Government. The State Government insistence that they should be part of the parent body signatories paid off, but the ANVC-B perseverance prompted the State Government to look for a camp for the cadres of the breakaway faction of the ANVC.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has initiated money laundering investigation against diamond trader Afroz Mohamed Hasanfatta, The Hindustan Times reports on May 1. The ED claimed to have unearthed a hawala (illegal money transaction) racket running into nearly INR 7 billion. The Foreign Exchange Management Act makes it a civil offence for anyone to carry out a foreign currency transaction without the permission of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The Prevention of Money Laundering Act under which Hasanfatta is being probed is a criminal offence punishable with a seven-year jail term. “Who he got photographed with is not our concern; we are just probing him under the Foreign Exchange Management Act and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act as of now,” said an ED official trying to steer clear of the controversy arising out of his photographs. Officials said the ED started probing Hasanfatta for money laundering after suspicions that he could be whitewashing black money in the garb of diamond trade.
