The Balia District Administration is apprehensive about Naxals [Left Wing Extremists (LWEs)] trying to establish their foothold in 53 village of the District, reports Deccan Chronicle on July 2. Earlier, community Policing and combative efforts had appeared to be effective in checking the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) menace in Uttar Pradesh but a recent Ballia administration letter might force the State Police to redraw its plans. According to the letter, all the socio-economic factors said to give rise to LWE are present in Ballia and if remedial steps are not taken, it would take root there, posing a challenge to law and order and development. The letter requests the government to provide all facilities in these villages of Ballia which are being provided to the LWE-infested areas of the state and give priority to development schemes. It also stresses on bringing the backward and poor people in the mainstream to check the youth from being misled.

It may be recalled that NSF wanted the State Government to initiate stern action against the culprit(s) involved in a shooting incident where one NSF office bearer was injured in Kohima on June 25. NSF also demanded that the Government direct all the cadres of every faction be confined within designated camps and to seriously monitor “free movement” of armed cadres in civilian areas.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) killed a former Maoist, identified as Bhagath, near Vijayapuri Colony in Venkatapuram mandal (administrative unit) in Khammam District around midnight on July 2, reports The Hindu. The bullet-ridden body of Bhagath, a former member of the Pamedu Area Committee of the neighbouring Chhattisgarh State, was found on the Vijayapuri Colony-Kothapalli road in the early hours of July 3. According to sources, a group of Maoists of the Venkatapuram Area Committee shot dead Bhagath after picking him up somewhere near Edira village. In a letter left at the scene, they alleged that Bhagath had tipped off the Police about the movement of their cadres that led to the killing of nine Maoists in Chhattisgarh in April 2013. They also accused Bhagath of acting hand in glove with a constable associated with anti-Maoist activities. Bhadrachalam Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) N. Prakash Reddy termed as baseless the charges levelled by the Maoists against the Police. Bhagath had left the movement a year ago and had been staying in Manuguru mandal (administrative division) in Palvancha division since then.

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on June 22 seized a consignment of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth INR three million being smuggled in from China’s Xinjiang Province, The Times of India reports on July 3. The consignment was sent through an international courier from China's Xinjiang Province. The development comes close on the heels of three Chinese nationals from the same Province being apprehended in Leh area of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) while trying to illegally cross over to Pakistan. They are currently being probed by intelligence agencies in Leh. According to sources, DRI officials arrested the courier with addressed to an old Delhi restaurant. After the traditional routes of Nepal, Bangladesh and Dubai came under the scanner of security agencies, FICN cartels from Pakistan had started routing fake currency through south-east Asian countries such as Malaysia and Vietnam. This is probably the first time that FICN pushed in by Pakistan has come via China and raises concerns of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI's) growing network in certain provinces of China. "However, this is probably the first time that China has become part of the FICN trail. It raises concerns as it means ISI has been able to build strong networks in certain restive provinces of China which can pose bigger challenges in future," said an officer from the security establishment.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on July 3 said some incidents in the Valley over the past 10 days have lent credence to voices both against and for revocation of controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in the State, reports Samay Live. "I won't talk about AFSPA right now. Last 10 days, we have seen two incidents which have given evidence both for presence and revocation of AFSPA," he stated. Omar said the advocates of continuation of AFSPA in the state cite the example of attack on Army convoy in Srinagar on June 24 in which eight soldiers were killed and a dozen others were injured. "They say that AFSPA cannot be revoked when such incidents take place. Those who want the Act to go cite the Sumbal [Bandipora District] incident, saying there was wrong use of powers ... which led to death of two youths. If there was no AFSPA it would not have happened," he said. Omar said he would continue the discussion with the Centre on the issue of partial revocation of AFSPA in the state. "I will only say that our discussions about AFSPA (with the Centre) will continue," he added.

General Officer Commanding (GOC, 16 Corps), Lieutenant General D S Hooda said on July 3 that firing, ceasefire violations and infiltration attempts from across the border have increased and the situation along the LoC is tense, reports Daily Excelsior. “Firing (from across the border) has increased in the past two to three months. Ceasefire violations have increased. The situation on the border (with Pakistan) is tense but under control,” he said. “Infiltrators are now attacking our security forces, targeting our posts more openly as they are desperate to infiltrate. Attack on security forces to inflict more and more casualties is the new strategy of infiltrators,” the Army officer said. He also said that they are able to infiltrate because of heavy snowfall which damages the fencing erected for checking infiltration. On Border Action Team (BAT) attacks from across the border, the Army Commander said “there are strong possibilities of BAT strikes on our forces from the Pakistani side as experienced previously.” Replying to a query, he said “it is premature to attribute escalation in tension on the border to the change of Government in Pakistan.”

in Latehar District, in West Jharkhand along the border with Chhattisgarh, over 1,200 Policemen and Centrally Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) were deployed to surround areas of the Kumandih forest in Manika block, where over 200 cadres of CPI-Maoists are believed to have come together for a meeting. Continuing the operations for the 10th day in the area, State Police and CAPFs, including Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA), destroyed some camps on July 3 and July 4 and seized three Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), 13 detonators, several backpacks, mobile chargers and literature from a camp near Murhar hills in Kumandih. Jharkhand Director-General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar who visited the area on July 3 said, “We have information that several top leaders of the Koel Sankh zone were having meetings in the area. We are proceeding cautiously as Maoists had planted explosives in the entire area. In some parts of the thick forest, they have occupied hilly terrain, where they will be an advantage.” Further, in an interview with Pioneer, the DGP said the Security Forces (SFs) will fight the Maoists to the finish in Kumandih jungle, spreading over 50-60 square kilometres. "They should either surrender or face the bullets. They can't escape as we have deployed troops at all the possible exit points," he added. The DGP said five companies of forces drawn from Jharkhand Armed Police and Indian Reserve Battalions were deployed on July 4 to the existing strength of 1,500 troops fighting the Maoists since June 24. "Though the Maoists' presence in Santhal Pargana has been there for the last five years, but my assessment is that they don't have formidable strength. That Balihar could speak to the office in-charge of Amarapara after the ambush shows that they were not in huge numbers during the incident near Kathikund," he added.

Police arrested an Army ‘informer’, Manzoor Ahmad Sheikh, for his alleged role in the killing of 18-year-old youth, Irfan Ganai, at Markundal in Bandipora District on June 30, according to The Times of India. Kashmir range Inspector General of Police, A G Mir, said Sheikh was arrested on July 3 as he had misinformed Army about the presence of militants where Irfan Ganai was killed. In addition, Higher Education Minister Mohammad Akbar Lone, who represents the area in the State Assembly, said Sheikh had fired on Ganai. "Manzoor used Army for his nefarious designs as a few days back the Army source had a brawl with Irfan's neighbors." He claimed the Army was equally responsible for this killing as it had equipped Sheikh with a weapon, which he used to allegedly kill Ganai. "The Army had violated all norms by not informing local Police that they were going to lay a siege around Markundal." Another youth was later killed after Army soldiers ‘fired’ at a group of people protesting Ganai's killing.

Ultra-left organisations are steadily infiltrating labour unions and workers' groups in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), intelligence agencies say, reports India Today. Intelligence inputs indicate that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has the clearly defined objective of entering the workforce, becoming part of workers' associations, and motivating them to carry out violent protests. One of the groups active in the national capital region is the Revolutionary Democratic Front (RDF). Intelligence inputs indicate they have penetrated various social fora, trade unions and workers' groups as well as bodies working for social empowerment. Intelligence agencies have information that RDF has told its fraternal organisations to participate and lead in any retaliation against violence by dominant social classes. "This is not like AISA, the student body of the CPI (M-L). Their level of involvement is much higher; they are more like a Maoist overground," one Delhi-based intelligence official says. An intelligence report says that the group has "resolved to launch a militant campaign against caste violence". Information gathered by these agencies suggests that Delhi is emerging as a major urban base of ultra left ideology. Of Delhi's 11 districts, seven have a have strong ultra-left influence. They are Central, South, New Delhi, North-West, North, South-West and North East. Sources say that the group has already developed a strong base in Delhi and the National Capital Region. Front organisations of the CPI-Maoist have let their members loose across the capital. Many of their members are said to be active in Delhi's satellite towns like Gurgaon and Ghaziabad. Moreover, intelligence inputs indicate activity by ultra-left groups in States like Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. Sources say Maoist cadres from left-wing affected states like Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand are being regularly sent to Delhi. Tags

Deccan Herald reports that the Jammu and Kashmir Government has cleared the cases of more than 300 militants who want to return from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) under state government’s ‘surrender-cum-rehabilitation policy’.The report said that a high powered panel has recommended return of more than 300 youth who crossed the Line of Control (LoC) for arms training during the last two decades but want to return and “live a dignified life”. “The panel headed by State Home Secretary Suresh Kumar and comprising top officials of police and intelligence agencies cleared the cases.

On July 4, troops foiled an infiltration attempt by the militants on the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch sector of Poonch District, reports Daily Excelsior. Official sources said troops observed four militants trying to sneak into the Indian Territory from near Durga Post in Digwar sub sector of Poonch District in the wee hours of the morning. Troops immediately opened firing to neutralize the militants before they could enter into this side. Within 15 minutes of firing, the troops were able to push back the militants to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) from where they had been launched. All four militants were heavily armed and appeared to be Pakistanis. They retreated without offering much resistance after finding heavy presence of Army on this side of the LoC. Inspector General of Police, Jammu Zone, Rajesh Kumar said that there had been no successful infiltration attempt on the LoC or International Border (IB) in Jammu sector in current year. “We have been watching the situation completely but so far Army and BSF [Border Security Force] haven’t allowed any militant to intrude into this side,” Kumar said adding though a number of intrusion bids have been made on the LoC in the recent past “all of them have been successfully thwarted”.

Police arrested two fugitives Moin Vajruddin Qureshi and Allauddin Vajruddin Qureshi, wanted since 1999 by several security agencies for alleged involvement in terror-related cases from Wanawadi Bazaar (Pune District), on July 4, reports dnaindia.com. After being arrested in 1999, the fugitives managed to get out on bail and were absconding since then. Many attempts by several security agencies to nab them since had failed.

Besides, the duo had allegedly received training in Pakistan and had been hiding in Pune for several years after their role came to light. They were on the radar of Intelligence Bureau (IB) and other agencies for the last couple of years, though they managed to evade arrest.

The July 7 issue of The Sunday Times quoted Senior Adviser to the President and Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa as saying, “Some things can be said openly and some things cannot be said openly in diplomatic business between governments. They [India] gave us some of their views, we expressed our views. That is what usually happens. Not only between countries but there must be that sort of exchange of views even in a family, between husband and wife. Then a lot of problems will be sorted out. This was like that.” Basil Rajapaksa had visited India and July 5 met with India's External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid. During the meeting Khurshid has emphasized that the 13th Amendment should not be diluted and Sri Lanka should go beyond the amendment to ensure meaningful devolution of powers. The PSC, which was constituted in June 2013, presently has 19 members, all from the ruling coalition — United People’s Freedom Alliance — led by the Sri Lanka Freedom Party. The main opposition United National Party (UNP), led by Ranil Wikremesinghe, the TNA, as well as the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) which is in the ruling alliance and has been in favour of implementing the 13th Amendment in its original form, is not part of the PSC. Members of the PSC, meanwhile, held their first meeting on July 9, and would meet again on July 26.

Governor Mooshahary admitted that there was a sense of insecurity among the people of the North eastern region, but pointed out that people here cannot achieve growth and development only ‘on their own’ and ‘in isolation’. “If we shut our doors we will suffer alone,” he added.

He will be brought to New Delhi and Pro-Talks faction of ULFA (ULFA-PTF) 'chairman' Arabinda Rajkhowa, who is holding peace dialogue with the government, has been asked to come to the national capital for a meeting with him, officials said. A team of Assam Police will also come to New Delhi to take custody of Chetia as various cases, including murder, abduction and extortion, are registered against him in Assam. The ULFA leader had given two applications in a Dhaka court -- one of withdrawal of his petition seeking asylum in Bangladesh and second of a request for repatriation to India.

Maharashtra Police's C-60 commandos, along with a section of Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA) commandos, shot dead six woman cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and recovered arms and ammunitions after an encounter near Mandri village in Etapalli division of Gadchiroli District on July 7, reports The Times of India. With this encounter, Maoists have lost 23 cadres so far this year while more than 31 have surrendered. Police feel Maoists may have faced a bigger loss but managed to drag bodies of some comrades into jungles. One 303 rifle, a carbine, five 12-bore rifles, 13 hand grenades and 20 'pittus' (rucksacks) were recovered. Sources said Maoists were preparing for a meeting at Sawari village in the vicinity when their plans were leaked to the Police force.

Shortage of almost 300,000 Police personnel in nine Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected States is jeopardising the fight against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The Hindu on July 8. Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Bihar, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh had 250,000 vacant positions of head constables and constables, while 50,000 posts of inspectors and sub-inspectors need to be filled. Similarly, these States also need over 1,000 Additional Superintendents of Police and Deputy SPs. The highest number of shortage in Police force is in Uttar Pradesh (180,000 personnel), followed by Andhra Pradesh (30,000), West Bengal (29,000), Bihar (16,000), Chhattisgarh (13,000), Jharkhand (10,000), Madhya Pradesh (6,000) and Odisha (2,000). Notably, in Maharashtra, there are 379 various vacant positions in just two LWE-hit Districts of Gadchiroli and Gondia. At last month’s (June) Chief Ministers’ conference on internal security, Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde told these States that they need to fill these vacancies and that the Centre cannot always fulfil their demands for increasing the deployment of paramilitary forces. Currently, over 80,000 personnel, mainly from the CRPF (66 battalions), the BSF (12 battalions) and the ITBP (five battalions), are deployed in the LWE-hit States. For speedy recruitment, the MHA told these States to relax certain recruitment norms and give preference to locals, who can be appointed on contract basis.

Syed Sallah-u-Din, chairman United Jehad Council (UJC) and ‘chief’ of Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), asked the separatist leadership to sit together and take a final decision on the election boycott call, reports Kashmir Times. He told that “Some of our friends say elections have no bearing on Kashmir issue, some say people should vote as it is an administrative affair and yet others believe in boycott saying that India defames freedom struggle under the garb of elections.” He appealed to Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mohammad Yasin Malik, Shabir Ahmad Shah and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq to sit at one place and take a final decision in this regard. “If they favour boycott then they should go door to door and appeal people not to vote and I am sure no one would participate in the elections,” UJC chairman added.

Traces of RDX and ammonium nitrate have been found at the explosion sites in and around the Mahabodhi temple complex in Bodh Gaya in Gaya District on July 7, reports The Times of India reported on July 8. Some instructions in Urdu were found along with the bombs recovered and defused in Bodh Gaya. One such instruction read Bara But (big statue) and the other 'bus'. Police believe that the first meant Great Buddha statue and the second the tourist bus. Another writing, again in Urdu, said that the operation was done as revenge for what had happened in Iraq. Further, examination of three unexploded bombs revealed that the planters used small LPG cylinders as containers to detonate explosives suspected to be a mix of ammonium nitrate and another high intensity material. "Small cylinders ranging from 2.5 to 5 kg have been used. The gas was taken out and the cylinders filled with explosives. The circuit was then completed using a detonator and a timer device," said an officer from the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Sources said this is the first time gas cylinders have been used as containers for explosives -- a departure from the signature style of Indian Mujahideen (IM), the outfit being suspected to have carried out the blasts. IM is known to use tiffin boxes, pressure cookers or boat-shaped aluminum containers to pack explosives with large amounts of shrapnel. This method of bomb making gives specific direction to the impact of the blasts and causes maximum casualties.

Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said that two live bombs were detected and defused by security agencies in and around the Mahabodhi temple. "Four blasts took place inside the temple complex. Three blasts took place near the Karmapa monastery while one each happened near the Buddha statue and a tourist bus stand outside. Two live bombs were detected and defused at the site," he said. In addition, a third bomb was recovered from a village near Bodh Gaya hours after serial blasts, Police said. A cylinder bomb was recovered from near Royal Residence hotel at Baiju Bigaha village, about four kilometres away from the Mahabodhi temple. Meanwhile, Bihar Police chief Abhayanand said that the nine blasts at the Mahabodhi temple were not of "very high intensity" and therefore no damage was caused to the sanctum sanctorum. "The explosions were not of high intensity...somewhere between low and high intensity. No damage has been caused to the sanctum sanctorum of the temple," he added. Further, with reports suggesting that Bodh Gaya blasts may be linked to the ongoing communal strife in Myanmar, a Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) advisory asked the states to beef up security at Buddhist shrines and Tibetan settlements, indicating that they could be targeted by radical outfits seeking to avenge attacks on Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. It mentioned inputs about alleged plans of radical groups to target Buddhist places of worship and Tibetan settlements in India "in the light of clashes between Rohingya Muslims and Buddhists in Myanmar in the recent months". Besides chief secretaries of all the states, the advisory was specifically addressed to the Police Commissioners of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune. All these cities have been targets of terror strikes in the past. "All police stations (should be) alerted, with additional deployment at sensitive locations. All precautionary measures may be taken to prevent untoward incidents. Any development of interest be reported at once," it said The Hindu quoted an MHA official as saying, “There have been intelligence inputs that [some Islamist groups] were planning to target Buddhists and their religious sites with foreigners in mind … This follows the ongoing sectarian violence between Rohingya Muslims and Buddhists in Myanmar. After last year’s Pune blasts, some arrested Indian Mujahideen operatives had told the Delhi police that there were plans to target Buddhist shrines in Bodh Gaya to retaliate for atrocities being committed upon Muslims in Myanmar … This input was shared with the Bihar police. The nature of attack and explosives used in the attack [points] towards the Indian Mujahideen … It could be their handiwork. In recent months, the Centre and some States have also issued alerts over the circulation of videos and pictures on the Internet and through mobile phones of alleged atrocities committed on Rohingya Muslims to incite passions and tensions.” Also, red alert has been sounded across Bihar following the serial blasts at Mahabodhi Temple. Patna police had got an intelligence input about terrorists planning explosions at crowded and religious places in the state capital. Director General of Police Abhayanand said security alert has been sent to all the Superintendents of Police across the state. Further, a senior Police officer said, "According to intelligence reports, since 1990, the Bihar-Nepal border has become a soft entry point for terror suspects and they take shelter in small villages of north Bihar districts." "The exit route of terrorists is highly unpredictable. The Indo-Nepal porous border could be a safe exit route," Inspector General of Police (operations) Amit Kumar said. Two monks were injured in nine serial blasts in and around the Mahabodhi Temple on July 7. Earlier, it was reported that five persons were injured.

Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on July 8 suggested modification of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) that gives immunity to the armed forces operating in disturbed areas, reports The Times of India. If revocation was not acceptable to the Centre, modification should be looked at, he said about AFSPA that was made applicable to the state 23 years ago and is a major political issue in the run up to the assembly polls due by November 2014. Meanwhile, Omar Abdullah said, he would love to see what Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will do to improve ties with India, reports The Hindu. The Chief Minister expressed the view that one indicator of Mr. Sharif’s commitment to improve the ties could come from whether Pakistan buys 500 MW of electricity from India. “I mean today Pakistan has villages where 22 out of 24 hours, there is no electricity, cities where 10 hours a day, you have power cuts. Whether the establishment and some other forces in Pakistan allow him to buy that electricity, let’s see. Will he be able to give India Most Favoured Nation status that also remains to be seen”, he said. “Because if you can’t move forward on areas in which Pakistan is going to benefit, how could we expect him to move forward in areas like Siachen, Sir Creek and the biggest question of all which is Kashmir”, said Mr. Abdullah.

life was paralyzed in the State, particularly Kuki-dominated areas of the hill Districts, due to a 36-hour general strike called by the Kuki State Demand Committee (KSDC) in pursuit of its demand for creation of a "Kuki state" on July 8, reports The Times of India. At least seven vehicles, including a truck, were damaged in Churchandpur District where top leaders of KSDC stay. The general strike will be followed by a two-day economic blockade on all the State and national highways. Owing to the strike, commercial activities at the border town of Moreh in Chandel district, Churachandpur district, Sadar Hills in Senapati and various townships and villages of Ukhrul and Tamenglong Districts came to a halt. The committee's proposed "Kuki State" map encompasses the Kuki areas covering more than half of Manipur's territory spread over five hill Districts. It surrounds Churachandpur, Chandel, Sadar Hills in Senapati and large chunks of land in Tamenglong and Ukhrul Districts. The KSDC, which has its branches across the state, has been pressing the Centre to hold political dialogue with Kuki militant outfits that are signatories to the ongoing Suspension of Operation (Soo) with the Government. KSDC will continue the movement till the political solution for Kukis in the form of a "Kuki State" is achieved, said a statement of the committee issued on Monday afternoon by its information and publicity secretary S George Guite.

Odisha Police on July 8 launched a dedicated law enforcement unit to confront heavily-armed criminals and terrorists in urban areas, reports The Times of India. Christened as Special Tactical Unit (STU), the squad has been designed like the elite National Security Guards (NSG). The STU consists of 30 commandos of Special Operations Group (SOG), who have been trained in latest tactics, including ambush, guerilla warfare, handling of hostage situations and sniper back-up. The STU would function under the administrative control of IG (operations). "Just like SWAT (special weapons and tactics) squads, the Special Tactical Unit has been raised to deal with urban terrorism and high-risk operations. Soon we will raise another unit of 30 commandos," said DGP Prakash Mishra. "The unit will definitely give Odisha Police the cutting-edge," Mishra said. "Though there is no threat from terrorists, we need to be prepared to meet any exigency. We might send the team to Puri for Rath Yatra," said Mishra. IG (operations) A K Sarangi said: "The STU commandos include some of the most agile, physically-fit and excellent sharp-shooters. They will help urban police in different districts to handle crisis situations."

President Mahinda Rajapaksa, during a discussion with India’s National Security Advisor Shivshankar Menon, in Colombo on July 9 said the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) is the best forum to reach a consensus on the implementation of the 13th Amendment, reports Daily News. It is a top priority of the government to reach a consensus on the 13th Amendment, President Rajapaksa said. The President agreed with Menon that the participation of the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) in the PSC is important. The President also urged India to encourage the TNA to participate in the PSC and stated that the government is committed to taking the process forward despite any obstacles. President Rajapaksa explained to Menon the practical problems involved in devolving land and police powers to the provinces in a small country such as Sri Lanka -- and stressed that the structure that is implemented ‘should apply and be acceptable to all parts of the country.’ Shivshankar Menon, meanwhile, emphasised the need for Colombo to fulfil its commitment to India and the international community regarding a political settlement that would go beyond the 13th Amendment of the country’s Constitution, adds The Hindu. “We have made our views clear on how we would like to see much more positive and forward movement towards reconciliation and a political resolution of the various issues which have led to ethnic politics being so polarised and fragmented in Sri Lanka in the past. They told me their plans … and as friends and very close neighbours we exchanged opinions. It is our hope of course that they are successful in building a Sri Lanka in which every community feels at home, feels master of their own destiny and feels that they have strong stake in the success of society and country as a whole. And we will continue to work with all our friends in Sri Lanka to that end,” Menon said. Menon was in Colombo for two days – July 8 and 9.

The Hindu reports that an internal inquiry report on the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) attack on a Congress convoy in Chhattisgarh — submitted to the Director-General of Police (DGP) Ram Nivas — held erstwhile Superintendent of Police (SP) Bastar Mayank Shrivastava responsible for intelligence failure, according to local newspaper Nai Dunia . The DGP, however, confirmed receipt of the report but said he was “yet to go through it” and refused to divulge its contents. While Nivas refused to divulge the contents of the report, a local newspaper claimed that the internal inquiry held the erstwhile SP of Bastar, Mayank Shrivastava, responsible. According to the Nai Dunia report, the preliminary investigation conducted by DIG-ranked officer Ravindra Bhedia found that Shrivastava had committed “serious blunders” in the lead-up to the Darbha Ghati incident. The SP reportedly did not act on the intelligence alerts send to him at earlier dates. He reportedly “acted irresponsibly” in having shifted additional forces to other districts and depriving the Congress rally of adequate security in Bastar. Shrivastava was suspended soon after the May 25 incident.

All six persons detained for alleged involvement in July 7, 2013, Bodh Gaya (Bihar) blast were released on July 10, reports The Times of India. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) released two local men, identified as Binod Mistri and Dashrath Yadav. In addition, Patna Police also released four persons who had booked two rooms in a hotel near the temple for merely two hours on the day of blast. Further, NIA has come across certain factories in Bihar that manufacture small cylinders that were used to make the 13 bombs planted in and around the Mahabodhi temple complex. The agency is now trying to trace from which factory the cylinders may have originated and which dealer may have sold it to the terrorists."There are some factories we have come across that make such cylinders. But further investigation is needed to reach the actual source," said an NIA officer adding that a similar search for the clocks used in the blast was also on. Interestingly, NIA investigators have learnt that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has used cylinder bombs identical to those used in Bodh Gaya blasts in parts of Jharkhand. "Maoists often use such bombs, state Police has told us. However, this does not mean that it's a Naxal job. Anyone can copy anyone's bomb. Just as Bodh Gaya bombs having similarity of circuit with 2008 Ahmedabad blasts does not mean that Indian Mujahideen executed the attack," a senior NIA officer said.

Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) has questioned the motive of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) for branding the group as “a terrorist organization.” The group has also warned that if the Government of India failed to take firm action against “few rogue officers” of its security forces, it might re-consider the ongoing cease-fire pact. Stating that NSCN-K signed the cease-fire agreement with the Government of India, it maintained that it went ahead with the agreement but not to be “crushed by the terrorist security forces.” The statement came after NSCN-K Cease-Fire Supervisory Board (CFSB) members Wangtin Naga and P. Tikhak had written a letter to MHA’s North-East in-charge joint secretary Shambhu Singh in connection with the “cold blooded” killing of six NSCN-K cadres on June 22 at Longmai (None) inTamenglong District. While terming the act as an “insult” and a “terrorist” act, NSCN-K also refuted AR claim that the cadres were killed in an “encounter.”

On July 10 that while the Union ministry of home affairs (MHA) has agreed in principle to one of the primary demands of the Pro-Talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) for granting of tribal status to six communities of the state, the ULFA-PTF leadership is not ready to take the Government word for it till the approval is spelt out in the peace settlement. Deputy 'commander-in-chief' Raju Baruah alias Hitesh Kalita, who is the top leader of the military wing of the pro-talks group, said, "All statements made so far are speculative. We have discussed the problems of the State with the Government, including the problems surrounding indigenous communities. It is too early to come to conclude whether tribal status will be granted to the six communities. First, let it be incorporated in the peace agreement." Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi said a few days ago that he too supports the ULFA-PTF’s demand. Union minister of state for tribal welfare Ranee Narah on July 9 said that the MHA is waiting for the Registrar General of India (RGI)'s clearance to the proposal. The ULFA-PTF replaced its three-decade-old demand of sovereignty with the demand for constitutional safeguards for the indigenous people by granting tribal status to the tea tribe, Koch-Rajbongshi, Moran, Motok, Tai Ahom and Chutia communities.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres raided houses of two ruling Congress Party leaders in GK Veedhi mandal (administrative unit) in Visakhapatnam District and looted their belongings under ‘famine raids’ in the night of July 10, reports The Hindu. The congress leaders were identified as former Zila Parishad Territorial Constituency (ZPTC) member Machala Matsya Raju of Deverapalli and Gaduturi Babu Rao, former Sarpanch (head of Gram Panchayat, village level local self Government institution) of Mangalapalem (both in Visakhapatnam District). According to information, Babu Rao went to Matsya Raju’s house and as the two were discussing probable candidates for the three phase Panchayat (local self-government institution) election (July 23, 27 and 31), 10 Maoists and 50 militia members entered the former ZPTC’s house around 9:30pm. They had spared Matsya Raju when he pleaded with them that he was recouping from an ailment but took Babu Rao to his village, two kilometres away. Another group of 10 Maoists and 50 militia members were present in the village where they held a Praja Court (People’s Court, euphemism for Kangaroo court). Meanwhile the militia members who stayed back at Deverapalli looted Matsya Raju’s house and burnt his and Babu Rao’s two-wheelers. At Mangalapalem the former Sarpanch was warned. When asked whether his choice was elections or his life he told them that he would prefer the latter. When he was slapped and about to be thrashed, villagers pleaded with the Maoists to spare Babu Rao as he was a good man and since he promised that he would not contest the elections. Later the Maoists and militia members looted the former Sarpanch’s house. The Maoists distributed pamphlets urging people to boycott the elections and warned candidates against contesting elections. Meanwhile, no nomination was received for elections to five Panchayats in Chintapalli and six in G.K. Veedhi so far. Deputy Superintendent of Police of Chintapalli E.G. Ashok Kumar told reporters at Chintapalli that intelligence-based operations would be intensified in the Agency area. CPI-Maoist Andhra Pradesh-Odisha Border (AOB) Special Zonal Committee has called for a bandh (shut down strike) in AOB region on July 21 protesting against the killing of Ganti Prasadam by Special Intelligence Branch (SIB) of Andhra Pradesh Police on July 4, reports The New Indian Express on July 11.

The CPI-Maoist hotbed Rajwar hills in Kumandi forests, around 50 kilometres from Latehar District headquarters, was freed from over 30 years of Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)] dominance, in an intense 14-day-long operation that ended on July 10, reports The Telegraph. The operation is being described as one of the biggest successes against LWEs in Jharkhand, as the Maoists had never allowed Security Forces (SFs) to penetrate the hills before. Jharkhand Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar, who led the operation, said many rebel training camps and hideouts were destroyed and a huge cache of ammunition was recovered. “The entire hill and the adjacent area — right from Latehar to Barwadih — have been secured and are totally under the control of Security Forces,” he added

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has issued 12 sketches and photographs of persons suspected to have been involved in the July 7 Bodh Gaya serial bomb blasts, The Times of India reports on July 11. Two of them belong to Gaya and Samastipur Districts of Bihar. NIA website features the photographs of Amir Reza Khan alias Parvez alias Rizwan alias Muttaki of Gaya District and Mohammed Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu of Samastipur District as most wanted. Moreover, investigations into the blasts are now focused on the three live bombs that remained unexploded and were recovered by agencies. "This is the only lead we have as of now as nothing has come off interrogations of several people who were seen in CCTV footage or had stayed in hotels nearby," an NIA officer said. Further, NIA has announced a reward of INR one million for definite clues about the perpetrators of blasts. In another related move, the NIA on July 10 lodged a complaint case at the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) in Patna and the three FIRs lodged at Bodh Gaya in this connection have been transferred to NIA. Meanwhile, two tweets purportedly from Indian Mujahideen (IM) that claimed the terror outfit carried out the serial blasts at Bodh Gaya and warned about a plot to attack Mumbai (Maharashtra) by July 13, 2013 have been traced to Pakistan. The Twitter handle @IndianMujahidin sent out the warning to Mumbai on July 6. It followed that up by claiming responsibility for the explosions at the Buddhist site in Bihar in a tweet on July 7, almost 12 hours after the explosive devices placed inside the temple complex had gone off. "Our probe has established that the tweets originated in Pakistan. We cannot pinpoint the exact city or location at this point of time since we have not got a detailed report from the microblogging firm," a senior source in Maharashtra ATS said.

Whether the IEDs or mine are planted by the LeT or any other outfit or the BAT, we are committed to thwart their plot.” Meanwhile, Army's Northern Command Headquarters has floated tenders for the purchase of six Border Surveillance Management Systems (BSMS) for deployment in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports Kashmir Times.

Tripura Finance Minister, Badal Chowdhury has expressed “genuine fears” over revival of insurgency in Tripura and other parts of the Northeast because of the Centre’s policies and deprivation of the region. “It is almost an axiom that poverty and other un-addressed grievances of people create discontent which often degenerates into militancy. I fear that the Centre’s continuous neglect of the northeastern region could lead to a fresh outbreak of insurgency,” Chowdhury said. He pointed out that Centre is backing out of its commitments to fulfil basic needs of Tripura in infrastructure building. “Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had given a clear commitment in 2005 that the Assam-Agartala National Highway 44, the state’s lifeline, would be upgraded to four lanes but this has not happened. The Centre is sitting idle even on the state’s curtailed demand for upgrading the highway to two lanes only. There is virtually no progress in converting the metre gauge railway track connecting Tripura and Barak Valley with Lumding in Assam into a broad gauge. This is a serious matter,” Chowdhury said.

The Times of India reports that in what could be a fallout of a factional feud, the 'home secretary' of the Kuki Liberation Army (KLA), Seikhohao Khongsai alias Marwin (33) and his two and a half year daughter identified as Zukim Kuki were killed and two others were injured in an ambush in the afternoon of July 13. The victims were on their way to the Champhai area in Senapati District when armed men killed them. When the car reached Champhai village around 3.30pm, unidentified armed men rained bullets, killing the 'home secretary' on the spot and injuring his daughter Zukim Kuki and two others, including the driver. Zukim succumbed to her injuries at a private hospital in the afternoon of July 14, Police said, adding that Saikhohao's wife, who was also in the car, escaped unhurt. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack till the filing of this report, even the Police began a probe to ascertain the motive behind the ambush and the identities of the perpetrators. The attack came at a time when several Kuki civil bodies demanded that the Government hold a political dialogue with the Suspension of Operation (SoO) signatory Kuki militant groups to bring about a permanent solution to the Kuki problem in Manipur. KLA is the armed wing of the Kuki Liberation Organization (KLO) and the group is a signatory of the ongoing SoO with the Government. The Kuki Revolutionary Army (KRA), which is also a party to the SoO, has condemned the attack. Also, the Kuki Students’ Organisation, General Headquarters (KSO-GHQ) has vehemently condemned the Champhai incident, saying the enmity they have with the deceased KLA functionary is not much a matter of concern, reports The Sangai Express.

Agencies suspect that the well-established drug cartels in China and Pakistan spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI')s influence in that country's Xinjiang Province are being used to push Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) into India, The Times of India reports on July 15. "China is already a flourishing drug market conduit where Pakistani underworld has considerable influence. In the recent past, we have also seen growing ISI influence in Xinjiang. China has openly talked about elements from Pakistan fomenting terror in this region. Pakistan could very well be using these assets to push FICN into India," said an officer from the security establishment. However, the worry for Indian agencies is that unlike Nepal, Bangladesh, Dubai and Malaysia, where Indian intelligence agencies have considerable influence, it would be difficult to move China on the issue. "We have conducted operations in the traditional routes and dismantled quite a few cartels in those countries. But it would not be possible in China," said an intelligence officer.

Assam Tribune reports that Inspector General of Police-in charge of Bodoland Territorial Autonomous Area Districts (BTAD), GP Singh stated that though the police and security forces launched a massive operation to seize illegal weapons in the BTAD, extortion still remains a major problem in the area as a number of militant outfits are still active in the area. Some members of the militant groups under cease-fire agreement with the Government are also involved in forceful fund collection. IGP, Singh told that more than 120 weapons including AK series rifles were seized during the operation. Following the crackdown, open display of weapons, at least in the towns, has stopped but it is difficult to say whether such weapons are still available with the miscreants, Singh said. Also, IGP-BTAD, GP Singh said that National Santhal Liberation Army (NSLA) is still active in extortion activity. Though the Adivasi People’s Army (APA) has come overground to solve its problems through talks, one group of the outfit is still at large and members of the group are involved in extortion. These groups are active mostly in the Gossaigaon-North Bengal belt and in addition to extortions are also involved in few abduction cases. Further, IGP-BTAD, GP Singh said that IK Songbijit faction of National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-IKS), with around 75 cadres, has bases in Karbi Anglong and Biswanath Chariali area apart from the main base in Myanmar. IGP further admitted that the NDFB-IKS is also involved in extortions in different parts of the BTAD, while, some members of the Ranjan Daimary faction (NDFB-RD), which declared unilateral ceasefire with the Government to express its desire for talks, are also extorting money. Further, according to reports, there have been instances where members of both NDFB-RD &NDFB-IKS stayed together in the interior places. Singh said that though it is difficult to say whether the militants still have bases in Bhutan, the terrain in the area, particularly during the rainy season makes it difficult to launch sustained operations.

Police are on the lookout for three persons running a competitive examination coaching centre, from where the law-enforcers have seized literature supporting Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) and other Left Wing Extremist (LWE) outfits (Naxals) and their armed struggle, reports Times of India. The Police said one Gangadharan of Vijayarengapuram started a coaching centre for competitive and civil services examinations at Karivalamvanthanallur in Tirunelveli District a few months ago, in which one Prabhakaran was the principal and Rajaram was his deputy. They allegedly took hefty amounts ranging from INR 70,000 to INR 300,000 from foreign job aspirants by organising a ‘job fair’ on the coaching centre premises, but failed to fulfil their promise. A couple of affected job-seekers filed complaints with the Karivalamvanthanallur Police. During the search conducted on July 14 at the coaching centre and also at the residence of Rajaram, who was a former State office-bearer of Anti-Imperialist Movement, the Police recovered pamphlets and books allegedly supporting Maoists and extremism, which prompted them to alert their higher-ups and also the Q Branch.

Pro-Talks faction of National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-PTF) on July 14 chose existence as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China rather than accepting the Central Government move to give more powers to Autonomous Councils. Resenting the fact that Bodos and other indigenous people living within the proposed Bodoland area were yet to get full-fledged political autonomy, a press statement issued by the NDFB-PTF’s ‘publicity secretary’, S. Sanjarang, said it would be better for these communities to be a part of a Special Administrative Region in China “if the government of India has only decided to provide more powers to the existing Autonomous Councils of the region”. Further, NDFB-PTF called on the Ranjan Daimary faction (NDFB-RD) and IK Songbijit factions (NDFB-IKS) to join hands with it to carry forward peace talks with the Central government in the greater interest of the Bodo community.NDFB-PTF ‘president’ Dhiren Boro alias B. Sungthagra said the NDFB had been a single entity before ideological differences led to formation of the two other factions. Stating that the peace talks with the government of India were proceeding smoothly, with both sides responding positively, Boro urged the NDFB-RD and NDFB-IKS to join the negotiations to ensure a lasting solution to the Boro imbroglio.“We can expect a good political solution to the problem soon if we stand united while carrying forward the peace process,” he said. “It would be a positive step.”

Security agencies fighting against the circulation of Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) have to take on a deadly mix of the underworld, various terrorist networks and Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s intelligence agency, who are using new routes to pump fake currency into India, The Times of India reports on July 15. Sources in the Mumbai Police said the involvement of the underworld has been established on a number of occasions, and distribution of fake currency is controlled by Dawood Ibrahim's aide, Aftab Batki alias Sultan. Sources also said FICN get printed at a press set up by ISI at Sukkur (Sukkur District in Sindh) a border town in Pakistan. ISI has been using Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and other splinter groups to smuggle fake currency. Moreover, the growing number of FICN seized in Mumbai (Maharashtra) during the last four years indicates a growing menace, Hindustan Times reports on July 15. From INR 62,00,000 in 2009, FICN worth INR 88,00,000 was seized in 2012. And till June 2013, INR 40,00,000 has been seized. In a bid to make the laws more stringent, officials of the Mumbai Police said the union government has made amendments in the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) 1967, and now production or smuggling or circulation of fake currency has been declared a ‘terrorist act’.

Sources in the Intelligence Agencies said that within two months of Nawaz Sharif's election as Pakistan's new Prime Minister, its Army, along with the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and several militants outfits, including Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), have started creating trouble on the Line of Control (LoC) in Rajouri and Poonch Districts, reports The Hindustan Times. Sources in the Intelligence Agencies added Pakistan's Army wants to give message to the Government regarding maintaining its superiority over the civil administration by fomenting trouble near the LoC. Major General SK Singh, General Officer Commanding (GOC), infantry division, said it is too early to comment on Pakistan's relation with its Army. But he agreed that the army, involved in machination with the militant outfits, has often been targeting the Indian troops. "There is no doubt that Pak commanders and the local militants are plotting against us," said the GOC. According to the intelligence agencies, LeT and HM have jointly decided to send the latter's force in Jammu and Kashmir, as they have huge support in the state. Sources said LeT militants along with the local intruders are also targeting the Indian soldiers, posts and civilians.

Javed Mozawala, a visa agent from Mazgaon (Mumbai District) in Maharashtra who was arrested on December 8, 2010, on charges of spying for Pakistan, was convicted under the Official Secrets Act by a sessions court on July 15, and sentenced to seven years' rigorous imprisonment, reports Mumbai Mirror. The court upheld the prosecution's contention that Mozawala, provided information regarding key defence establishments and public infrastructure to his handlers posted at the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi, and convicted him for spying, establishing contacts with foreign agents, and abetting violation of secrecy under sections 3(1)(c), 4(2), and 9 of the Act. The court, however, didn't find him guilty of criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). At the time of arrest he was found in possession of incriminating documents that included maps and photographs of Western Naval Command in Mumbai (Maharashtra), another defence establishment in Lonavala, the Bandra Worli Sea Link, and the Koyna Dam in Satara. The investigators also found pen drives and CDs that contained coded telephone numbers of 87 defence establishments across the country, besides a handbook which listed tips on how to not raise suspicion, evade arrest, and communicate with other aides through cryptic emails. The Crime Branch said Mozawala was being 'handled' by one Abdul Latif alias Bhatti in the Pakistan High Commission, who went missing a few months before he was arrested.

Nagaland Post reports that responding to the Cease-Fire Monitoring Group (CFMG) chairman Lieutenant General (Rtd) N.K Singh’s statement, which asked the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) not to vitiate the spirit of the Cease-Fire Ground Rules (CFGR) and to stop “extortion”, NSCN-IM’s Cease-Fire Monitoring Cell (CFMC) office, on July 15, reiterated that NSCN as the “de-facto Government” has “legitimate right to levy tax in Nagalim.” In a statement, CFMC secretary Imcha Longkumer said its right to levy tax should not be interpreted as “extortion”, saying nowhere in the CFGR it was mentioned NSCN could not levy ‘tax’. Pointing out that CFGR was a bi-lateral agreement signed between Government of India and the NSCN, CFMC said whenever there were differences it had to be resolved by a higher cease-fire review committee meeting in Delhi. CFMC had also raised the issue of “frequent” raids by Assam Rifles on the residences of NSCN functionaries, which it said was violation of CFGR.

Two absconding operatives of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), who represent two of the home-grown terror outfit's deadliest known modules, were 'certainly' behind the Bodh Gaya blasts, claimed Delhi Police special cell, on July 15, reports Hindustan Times. Waqas alias Ahmed from the Maharashtra module and Asadullah Akhtar Haddi alias Tabrez from the Uttar Pradesh module have been evading arrest well before they allegedly planted bombs during the Mumbai serial blasts in July 2010. The men then executed a similar, though unsuccessful bid at Pune in August 2012 and another bid in Delhi last year before they allegedly struck in Bodh Gaya instead, according to highly-placed sources. "These men, who have received training at Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) camps in Pakistan, according to Syed Maqbool, one of the men arrested for the Pune serial blasts, are the only remaining IM bombers," said a senior officer. While Haddi, who was allegedly involved in the Batla House encounter of 2008 has been on the run, Waqas was part of the infamous Aurangabad Arms Haul of 2006. “We have reached this conclusion after analysing undetonated Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) recovered from Mumbai, Pune and Bodh Gaya.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has almost settled on the Indian Mujahideen (IM) as the terror outfit responsible for the serial explosions at Bodh Gaya (Bihar, July 7, 2013), The Times of India reports on July 17. "Going by the modus operandi, nature of explosives and eyewitness statements, the involvement of Naxalites, Hindu terror outfits or even disgruntled elements within the temple management can be safely ruled out. It is now almost certain that the IM or a local outfit owing allegiance to it carried out the multiple blasts," said an officer associated with the probe. In addition, NIA has found some important clues in the blasts, Union Minister of Home Affairs Sushilkumar Shinde said on July 17. "I can say that investigation is being done seriously, and probing agency (NIA) has found some important clues in the right and positive direction," Shinde commented. Meanwhile, reports indicate that poor quality of gas cylinders used in the bombs planted at Bodh Gaya, perhaps, saved the site from too much damage. Investigations by NIA revealed that one of the reasons why the 10 bombs that exploded in Bodh Gaya could not cause much damage was because the cylinders in which explosives were stuffed were procured from local factories in Bihar and were of very poor quality. "In some bombs the entire base of the cylinder has come out intact dampening the impact of the blasts," said an NIA officer. Another reason being cited for the bombs going off with a whimper is poor insertion of detonators in the shrapnel-explosive mix. "Holes were drilled into the cylinders and then explosives and shrapnel put into it. A detonator was then inserted to complete the circuit with batteries and clocks. It seems the detonators were surrounded more by shrapnel than explosives leading to reduced charge and poor explosion," said the officer.

The Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) on July 17 out rightly rejected the Breakaway faction of Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) offer of joining them for peace talks, accusing them of collaborating with the Meghalaya Government in ‘eliminating’ their cadres to weaken their outfit. In response to the statement issued by the ‘publicity secretary’ of the ANVC-B, Doang D Shira, inviting his organization to join the ongoing peace process with the Government, GNLA leader, Sohan D Shira reiterated that such a proposal from the rival outfit cannot be entertained since there is a move to try and bring the rebel group to its knees by the State Government in collaboration with the ANVC-B. While it has distanced itself from having any involvement in the ANVC-B’s offer of talks, the Sohan D Shira-led GNLA has said that it was ready to talk with the Central Government. “We will talk to the Centre, not with the ANVC,” announced Sohan D Shira in a communique to The Shillong Times on July 17.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), probing conspiracy of Indian Mujahideen (IM), in its first chargesheet filed on July 17, traces the origins of the banned outfit and details its agenda but fails to find any exhaustive evidence, according to Indian Express. The 42-page chargesheet was filed in a case against 12 IM operatives, including Yasin Bhatkal, Riyaz Bhatkal and Iqbal Bhatkal registered in September 2012. In what reads like a compilation of previous chargesheets filed by various state police and the special cell of Delhi Police, it states that "IM was formed in or around 2003 end in the wake of communal mobilisation due to factors like Babri Masjid demolition and Gujarat riots". According to the NIA, IM was formed after a group of certain ultra radicalised Muslim youths segregated themselves from Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Without substantiating, NIA claims, "Source information revealed that IM is receiving regular funding from abroad..." It goes on to say that IM is undertaking "large-scale recruitment" for acts of terror with "active support from their Pakistan-based associates and sleeper cells within the country". NIA further says, "IM does not believe in the Constitution and believes in waging war against India." However, the NIA has no idea on the means of communication used by the outfit to contact its cadre. The chargesheet says the group recruits cadre by "engaging them in discussions".

A good number of people in Kochi District have made it to the list of the world’s most wanted criminals, New Indian Express reports on July 20. The names of 10 persons from the district figure among 31 Keralites in the revised red corner notice list of the Interpol released this year by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the agency which is operating as Interpol in the country. Six persons from the District are wanted by the security agencies in the country for terror-related activities. That 16 of them belong to the northern Districts such as Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasargod is a cause for concern. Azeez Kizhakkanayil Odackali, Nasar Marangattu, Najeeb Kariberypadi, Abdul Sathar alias Manzoor, Savad Mudasherri and Sajil Thottathukudi are wanted for terror-related activities. Koyikkal Ramrao Sudarshan and Baby Srambickal are wanted for economic frauds and counterfeit cases. Some terror-accused persons like K P Sabir of Kannur who is one of the first persons from Kerala to be trained in terror camps in Jammu and Kashmir were mainly operating in Ernakulam District. “Central Bureau of Investigation is the agency which works as Interpol in the country. Red corner notice is issued against people who after committing notorious crimes are suspected to have fled from the country. The majority of the Keralites in the red corner list are linked to murder, human trafficking, arms and drugs smuggling, terror-related and counterfeit cases. The number has risen from 17 last year to 31 this year,” CBI officials said.

During an interview to The Telegraph State Director General of Police (DGP), JN Choudhary said that recruiting and mobilising and trying to build a base.DGP further said that we cannot wish them away but it’s not time yet to deploy Special Forces, like the Greyhounds in Andhra Pradesh. We are concentrating on nipping the problem in the bud. The government has sought assistance from the Centre to implement development schemes in the seven Maoist-affected Districts. Further, DGP, JN Choudhary said that extortion is still a problem in Bodoland Territorial Adminitered Districts (BTAD). The IK Songbijit faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) is extorting money from traders in Kokrajhar, Chirang, and Bongaigaon and even in Kharupetia in Darrang District though the amounts are not big. We are not sure whether the money reaches the organisation or is pocketed by groups but our efforts to root out the problem are on.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is promoting opium cultivation popular in Districts along the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh boundary, reports The Times of India on July 22. According to security sources, the CPI-Maoist is taking the help of local rebel outfits to encourage opium farming, which, although illegal, is a traditional practice in these areas and is a lucrative occupation for locals. "It is a fact that the Maoists tacitly promote opium and ganja cultivation in order to raise funds for their activities. The cadres of the anti-talks factions of ULFA [ULFA-Independent] and NDFB [NDFB-IK Songbijit], who are hiding at several places in Arunachal Pradesh, are helping them in their latest venture," said an unnamed senior intelligence official. "Around 200 youth are reported to be running the poppy farming racket in the border areas of Arunachal Pradesh. They get a monthly stipend of INR 1,500-2,500. The local outfits, which are helping the Maoists are also paying approximately INR 30,000 per acre to willing farmers for growing opium," added an unnamed security source from Arunachal Pradesh. Earlier, Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Nabam Tuki had said, "We are trying to sensitize the people and replace the traditional poppy farming with other cash crops, rubber plantation or flower and fruit cultivation."

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is busy opening another front along Bangladesh-Myanmar border, The Times of India reported on July 21. Inputs with Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), India's external intelligence agency, confirm that LeT and its front Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD), are working to extend their footprint along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border by riding piggyback on the sectarian violence targeted against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar's Rakhine state. While JuD ‘chief’ Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is leading the anti-Myanmar campaign, espousing the cause of Rohingyas from various public platforms in Pakistan, his terror subordinates have been planning and undertaking visits to the Bangladesh-Myanmar border region. Apart from creating a new forum, Difa-e-Musalman Arakan (Defence of Muslims in Myanmar), in mid-2012 to mobilize support for an anti-Myanmar government campaign, LeT/JuD had deputed a two-member team — comprising JuD ‘spokesperson’ Nadeem Awan and JuD ‘Publications Wing’ member Shahid Mahmood Rehmatullah — in August 2012 to forge covert links with like-minded Islamic organizations in Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Union Home Secretary Anil Goswami on July 25 warned that the State as well Central Police officers posted in a Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-hit Districts will have to perform or suffer career setbacks, reports The Times of India. He said that a Superintendent of Police (SP) posted in a Maoist-hit District may not be considered for deputation in a central organization if the Union Home Ministry is not happy with his performance. Similarly, performance of officers of Central Forces will affect their promotion and annual confidential reports (ACR). Goswami was speaking at the two-day workshop organized by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) for Superintendents of Police (SPs) of 26 Maoist-hit Districts and Deputy Inspector Generals (DIGs) of Special and Central Armed Police Forces deployed in extremism-hit zones. The meeting also decided to bring front organizations of the CPI-Maoist firmly in the legal loop. "We will collect evidence on activities of these front organizations, meant to help Maoists either directly or indirectly, compile them into a dossier and move for registration of FIR against their members," said an unnamed senior MHA official.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on July 28 told KNS that New Delhi was ready for talks with the separatists but the latter were reluctant and instead holding meetings with intelligence agencies behind ‘closed rooms’, reports The Times of India. "The Centre is ready for talks, but with whom will they talk? NC [National Conference], PDP [Peoples’ Democratic Party], Congress and BJP [Bharatiya Janta Party] say we will solve the issue within the constitution and they are talking with the Centre. But those who want to solve it outside the constitution (meaning, the separatists), are not ready for talks," the news agency quoted Omar as saying. "The last time the Prime Minister told them (separatists) that they should put their demands in the shape of a memorandum. Let them show it to the people whether they have put it before the PM. Center told them to give a charter of demands on record, which they didn't," he said. On Afzal Guru's hanging (February 9, 2013), Omar said, "I had warned New Delhi that it will have a long-term impact in Kashmir. Situation in the Valley is more and less peaceful. What is happening in the Valley this time isn't related to Afzal Guru. Yes, it has had an impact on the minds of the people of Kashmir. Long-term effect it will have. How it will that has to be seen. But if someone thinks that there has been no impact then it's wrong." On track II, he said, "Nothing has come from the Nawaz Sharif government as of now. Only Musharraf had shown some relaxation on Kashmir. It is true that Sharif has taken some steps for the revival of the peace process but nothing has changed in Kashmir. Infiltration attempts are on the rise."

George referring to the NSCN-IM statement said on July 29 it was his belief that ACAUT had spoken out on behalf of the people and the issue that needed to be resolved now was “who represents the people,” reports Nagaland Post.

Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) Director General (DG) Pranay Sahay who retired on July 31 after heading the CRPF for more than 10 months said on July 30 that it is no more possible for the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) to ambush and attack Security Forces (SFs) like the 2010 Dantewada District ambush in Chhattisgarh as the SFs are now familiar with the terrain and are better trained, reports Zee News. He added that SFs are penetrating deeper into Maoist affected areas and jungles and they will keep hitting their strongholds. He further said "The fact that we are hitting Naxals increasingly is evident from the number of incidents as well as the number of deaths at the hands of the Naxals. From an all-time high of 2,258 incidents (1,005 deaths) in 2010, now it has come down to (till June) 590 incidents where 202 deaths took place."
