A central government order banning the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has been upheld by the Madras (Tamil Nadu) High Court, which said there was every justification for the May 14, 2010, proscription and a subsequent tribunal order upholding it, The Times of India reports on July 2. A division bench comprising of Justice Elipe Dharma Rao and Justice M Venugopal, dismissing the petitions filed by Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) leader Vaiko, Tamilar Desiya Iyakkam's Pazha Nedumaran and Prisoners Rights Forum director and advocate P Pugalenthi, said: "Though the object for which the LTTE had been floated was highly laudable, with the passage of time, it has taken ugly path, leading to many heinous crimes in our land also. Voluminous materials containing highly sensitive information have been produced before us by the Centre to show the involvement of the organization in various crimes in India, including the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, wherein the top brass of the LTTE were the accused. All these materials were available with the government while issuing the notification."

According to Intelligence Bureau (IB) reports, Sri Lanka and Maldives have been named as Fake Indian Currency Note's (FICN's) two new places of origin, and Chennai in Tamil Nadu as the point of arrival, Pune Mirror reports on July 2. An IB official stated, "Until now, FICN was known to come from Bangladesh and Nepal. The addition of two more neighbours to this list is rather worrying". Once the notes are offloaded at Chennai, they make their way to other states. The mafia operate in a syndicated manner, using local racketeers to put the currency into circulation in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Maharashtra, besides Tamil Nadu.

An Intelligence Bureau(IB) input has warned the Indian Government agencies to keep a watch on the activities of Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF) [one of the splinters of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT)] in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), which has intensified its fund drive in the last one week, New Indian Express reports on July 2. The US State Department decision to proscribe the four splinter groups of LeT has had little or no impact on the LeT campaign to raise money under the guise of charity to finance its terrorist activities.Sources said the JuD and its affiliates had raised more than INR 3.5 billion in funds from various countries, including India. IB suspects that the money collected in the name of humanitarian aid is being diverted by the JuD for financing the terror activities.The agency is also saying that despite being designated as foreign terror groups, the JuD and its founder Hafiz Muhammad Saeed continue to spread the anti-India rhetoric via the social media platforms headquartered in the US.

The Shillong Times reports on July 2 that another Garo militant outfit, United People’s Revolutionary Alliance (UPRA) has emerged in the State and has started issuing quit notices to illegal encroachers from outside especially in the plain belt areas of Garo Hills. The new militant outfit which has its headquarters in an undisclosed location called ‘Chusimra’ claimed that Garo Hills was being overrun by illegal encroachers from outside which was due to the ‘special favours’ being given by Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and politicians in their respective constituencies by enabling them to get hold of job cards, ration cards, election IDs etc.The outfit made special mention about the initiative being taken by the Meghalaya Police to create ‘Force 10′, a new security unit to tackle militancy in Garo Hills and claimed that politicians were helping the illegal encroachers to get recruited into it. “We are issuing ‘quit notices’ to all illegal encroachers in Garo Hills. They must leave Garo Hills within the next 10 days, otherwise we will resort to our own course of action,” the ‘chairman’ of the outfit Tattara Matgrik said in a statement.

The State’s new Chief Secretary Barkos Warjri told reporters on July 1 that while the deployment of Security Force is required for the immediate dealing of the law and order problems in Garo Hills, and also to pursue the criminal cases, in the long run, force is not the answer as various measures including dialogue and development initiatives were necessary. Asked about whether there is any difference on the stand of the Centre and the State on the issue of holding dialogue with the militants, Warjri said, “There is no immediate change of stand. The government has been displaying flexibility and if at all there is a shift in approach, this has to be decided by the Centre and the State. Though he termed the Garo Hills situation as grave, the Chief Secretary, however, said that there was no plan to deploy the army or to declare Garo Hills as disturbed area. Warjri, who had also served in Manipur for many years, said that while 15 years ago, some militant groups in Manipur had some sort of ideology, this is not the case with the groups in Garo Hills which sprang up very quickly aimed at making short term gain with hardly any ideology.

Though a number of militant outfits of Assam have signed ceasefire agreements with the State and Central Governments to solve their problems through talks, several new outfits have cropped up in the last few years, reports The Assam Tribune on July 2. The most disturbing aspect is that a majority of the new outfits are splinter groups of the outfits which are either talking with the Government or have signed peace pacts. Sources told The Assam Tribune that at least 14 militant groups are under ceasefire agreements with the Government and talks with these outfits are on. Prominent among the outfits under ceasefire agreement with the government include the pro-talk faction of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF), two factions of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB) etc. But at the same time, splinter groups of the outfits under ceasefire agreements are still active.

The first-ever audio message of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ISIS, released on July 1 confirmed suspicions that Indians could well be part of his organisation's ranks, reports Hindustan Times. While enumerating the nationalities of fighters who constitute ISIS, Al-Baghdadi's 20-second-long audio titled 'A message to the Mujahideen and the Muslim Ummah in the month of Ramadan' mentions that Indians, among a host of other nationalities including Chinese, American, French, German, Australian, etc. figure in the ISIS squad.India figures quite a few times in his speech where he names India as one of the countries including Pakistan and Myanmar, where "Muslims' rights are forcibly seized". Al-Baghdadi then goes on to give a clarion call to believers for emigration (hijrah) to the Islamic state. He also terms terror acts as the "killing and burning the homes of Muslims in Burma, the dismembering and disemboweling of the Muslims in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Kashmir."According to intelligence sources, on January 22, 2014 a Tamil Nadu-born person had left for Syria to fight alongside the Islamic fundamentalists. In 2013, the same person had trained with the Chechen jihadis and had recruited two Chennai college students for Jihad in Syria as well.The Times of India adds on July 3 that while intelligence agencies are closely tracking developments in the middle-east along with mounting surveillance on Indians reported to be fighting alongside ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the major concern for Union Ministry of Home Affairs is a spillover of the sectarian strife in the region to India. Meanwhile, Union Minister of Home Affairs, Rajnath Singh on July 2 held a meeting with the policy division of the Ministry and asked for revision and strengthening of security at vital installations. He also asked for strengthening of VIP security. "The issue has been discussed within the ministry and apprehensions about a conflict between Shias and Sunnis erupting in the immediate future or later in the country is not being ruled out. An advisory in this regard has already been sent to various states but more preparations are on," said a senior official.

Meghalaya Chief Minister (CM) Mukul Sangma on July 4 said that his Government is contemplating various aspects of laws available to tackle influx of foreigners, reports Shilong Times. “We will examine the various aspects of the laws available which will enable the state government to tackle influx of foreigners,” Sangma said. He underlined the need to effectively enforce the ‘Foreigners Act’ besides implementing the ‘Meghalaya Tenancy Act’, which is still at the drafting stage, to tackle influx of foreigners. He said that his Government was considering enforcement of the ‘Foreigners Act’ keeping in mind the fact that the State shares an international border with Bangladesh. Sangma said the proposed ‘Tenancy Act’ would ensure verification of credentials of tenants and that the house owners renting their houses to a stranger must comply with the provisions of the ‘Tenancy Act’. It may be mentioned here that issues concerning influx of foreigners have been raised on several occasions in the State Assembly. The high-level committee on influx under the chairmanship of Bindo M. Lanong, had exclusively recommended implementing the Inner Land Permit (ILP) system in Meghalaya to safeguard the indigenous community from the onslaught of illegal migrants.

Secretary of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) Andhra Orissa Border Special Zonal Committee (AOBSZC) Chandramouli termed the death of three Maoist cadres in an exchange of fire with Police in Nallamalla forests of Guntur District on June 21, 2014 as a fake encounter, reports The Hindu on July 8. In a statement sent to media, he claimed that the Police had captured Maoists Ashok, Bharati and Vimala and tortured them before staging a fake encounter at Murarikurava Vaagu on the banks of Krishna river on the borders of Prakasam, Guntur and Mahaboobnagar Districts. He contested the claims of Inspector General of Police (IG) Sunil Kumar that the Police had recovered an AK-47, a Self Loading Rifle (SLR) and a .303 rifle from the site of the encounter and that fourth extremist, Srinivas alias Vikram, was injured and had escaped. He further said in 2006 when the Maoists decided to withdraw from Nallamalla after it had become weak there, Maoist Baburao along with Bharati and Vimala had decided to stay back due to sentimental attachment to the place. They were working with the Chenchus there for the past eight years and helping rebuild the party base there. They were carrying only .303 rifles and tapanchas for their self defence and did not possess any automatic or semi-automatic weapons. He also said that after N. Chandrababu Naidu took over reins, the State Government resumed its pro-World Bank stance and decided to crush the Maoists. He however warned that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leaders and Chief Minister Naidu would have to pay for the fake encounter killings of the Maoists.

Senior state Police officials said that currently there are four companies of Chetak Commandos comprising 100 jawans (troopers) each.

The security establishment is tracking 18 Indian citizens who have travelled to Iraq and Syria to fight as jihadis, reported The Times of India on July 8. As sectarian violence intensifies in these countries, India, along with other nations, is trying to track and prevent its citizens from joining this war. These aspiring jihadis didn't come from any extremist group, say intelligence sources, but were individually radicalized. Of the 18 under the scanner, Indian officials found that the jihadi ardor of six men had diminished considerably after they found they were being treated shabbily by their leaders. They later left Iraq and now live in other Gulf nations. The others remain in Iraq.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has asked the State Governments to "target" top leaders of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), seeking to step up its intended offensive against the Maoists amid concerns that not a single Maoist has been neutralised since Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) came to power in May, reports The Economic Times on July 8. "The State Police has been told to target the top leaders of CPI (Maoist) by constituting dedicated teams comprising personnel drawn from State Police, Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) and central as well as… state intelligence agencies," said a senior Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) official. On June 27, 2014 Union Minister for Home Affairs Rajnath Singh, at a high-level review meeting with heads of Police forces of the States, Chief Secretaries and CAPFs, made a pitch for "political commitment" from the State Governments for "eliminating Naxalism" from the country, describing it as the "biggest national security challenge". The UMHA also expressed concern on the "overwhelmingly skewed casualty ratio" in favour of the Maoists vis-a-vis Security Forces (SFs) and questioned why no Maoist cadre had been neutralised since the new government took charge on May 26 despite 100 battalions (1.2 lakh men) of CAPFs being involved in anti-Maoist operation.

They sought the help of Adivasis to fight the injustice meted out to the tribes.The armed men reportedly reached the Vaniyampuzha Colony by walking along the fire-line cleared by the forest authorities during the summer. Although the Adivasis were frightened on seeing the armed men, the Maoists behaved very politely with them, said an Adivasi youth refusing to disclose his identity.The Maoists convened the meeting under a shade tree and told them about their rights and benefits due to them. Two of the men were middle-aged and the third was a youth. The youth spoke in Malayalam when the others spoke in Tamil. They collected rice, sugar and salt from all Adivasi houses. The Police said that the Adivasis gave them about 40 kg rice. Before leaving, the Maoists distributed their pamphlets amongst the Adivasis. They were asked to burn the leaflets soon after reading it.

After a span of 11 years, trial in cases of bomb blast in the three areas of Mumbai (Maharashtra): Vile Parle station (January 27, 2003), Mulund train (March 13, 2003) and McDonald's (December 6, 2002), began on July 8, with a witness deposing before the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) court, reports The Times of India. A Crime Branch team comprising officers Ramakant Padwal, Nagesh Lohar and Prafull Bhosale had claimed to have recovered four AK-56 assault rifles, three pistols, two revolvers, 250 hand bombs, four grenades, 160 live cartridges, chemical pipe bombs, bottles containing sulphuric acid, nitric acid, ammonium nitrate and potassium cyanide. Earlier, three alleged Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists, Abu Sultan, Abu Anwar Ali and Mohammed Wani, whom Police said were suspected masterminds in the blast, were killed in an encounter at Jogeshwari in Mumbai on March 29, 2003.Charges in the court were framed last week, said a lawyer. "There are 670 witnesses. Today the third witness deposed before court in the Vile Parle explosion case. One of the accused, Saquib Nachan, had moved the high court and then Supreme Court to demand a CBI probe. However, the apex court asked him to go back to POTA court," said advocate Shahid Nadeem of Jamiat-ul-Uelma, which has taken up cases of some of the accused. Besides, some accused had earlier filed applications saying POTA was not applicable to them, which prolonged the procedure.

Five people, including a Policeman, were injured in a low intensity bomb blast near Dagdusheth Halwai Ganapati temple in Pune (Maharashtra) on July 10, reports The Times of India. The bomb was placed on a motorcycle in the parking area of Faraskhana and Vishrambaug Police Stations located 200m from the temple. Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil, who visited the blast site, said the state Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) would investigate the blast. "It is a challenge for the police as the blast happened on their premises.'' Police suspect Indian Mujahideen (IM) involvement in the blast due to its similarities with explosions in Pune earlier. They have found traces of ammonium nitrate and seized nails and ball bearings from the blast site. The same material was used in the other two blasts along with Research Department Explosive (RDX) in the German Bakery blast in February 2010.Police Commissioner Satish Mathur said they were yet to ascertain involvement of any terror group and were trying to trace the bomb planter. He stated, "Some groups involved in disturbing peace in the city could also be behind the blast. We have intensified security." The Hindu adds that Police officers privy to the investigation pointed to the similarity between the present blast and the one on Jangli Maharaj road in Pune of August 2012.

The Shillong Times reports on July 11 that the Government of India (GoI) has directed Meghalaya government not to hold talks with Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA). Chief Minister (CM) Mukul Sangma stated that “We have received a formal intimation from the Centre which directed us not to pursue talks with the GNLA since they are continuing with their criminal activities”. CM further stated that “The State Government has also made an appeal to all the militant groups in the State to stop all their criminal activities and come forward for a dialogue.”He added that it was an opportune time for militants to give up armed struggle and the Government will explore ways and means for them to surrender for long lasting peace in the State. The Assam Tribune further adds that the new thinking is because of the fact that once a peace process is initiated with one group, another group crops up to take its place. The State Government is negotiating with Achik National Volunteers’ Council (ANVC) and the Breakaway faction ANVC-B. The peace talk is currently stalled because of change of Government in New Delhi.

Boko Haram infiltrated the African drug-cartel operating in India, according to top intelligence sources, New Indian Express reports on July 13. “They came on our radar after intelligence inputs from a friendly country indicated that Dawood Ibrahim’s younger brother, Anees Ibrahim, made several trips to Lagos [Nigeria] last year. He subsequently met an al Qaeda 'commander' close to Boko Haram 'chief' Abubakar Shekau...D-gang’s proximity to the two outfits indicates that militants are now riding on Dawood’s well-oiled network in India, Africa and South America to raise funds for terror through drug trafficking,” a source said.Though a senior official said in the last three years, intelligence agencies have trailed Nigerian cartels operating in Goa and Delhi. Around 900 modules were netted by security agencies, but a majority of them remain elusive. In 2013, the Goa government had initiated a crackdown on a Nigerian gang. Out of the 51 arrested, only one person had a valid visa and passport. The rest had been smuggled in using illegal routes.Intelligence agencies suspect that the Goa and Delhi cocaine circles, allegedly controlled by Nigerians, is being protected and supported by D-gang as part of the tacit understanding with al Qaeda and Boko Haram. The agencies fear that Boko Haram, which literally may intensify narco-terrorism to fuel the terror matrix.

Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-run mafia indulging in production of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) has been laying more emphasis on counterfeiting INR 500 and lesser denomination notes as compared to those of INR 1,000, Economic Times reports on July 14. This came to light after some consignments of fake currency were intercepted by security agencies and during interrogation of people involved in the racket it was found that counterfeiting of INR 1,000 was costlier than notes of lesser denominations, official sources said. According to a report by Central Economic Intelligence Bureau (CEIB), India is "extremely vulnerable" to FICN from Nepal, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Thailand through Pakistani operators and their conduits. "The most widely circulated FICN denominations are INR 500, followed by INR 100 and INR 1,000. Seizures also indicate notes of INR 50 and INR 20 in circulation," it said. "Bulk detections of FICN in the bank branches including Reserve Bank of India (RBI) offices indicate easy acceptance of such currency by public and the FICN has crossed different filtering barriers because of high quality counterfeiting including sophisticated security features in FICN," said the report. Intelligence assessments and seizure reports confirm that India is extremely vulnerable to FICN from Nepal, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Thailand. "Pakistani operators based in Nepal, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Thailand act as recipient of FICN from Pakistan as well as conduits to the distribution channels in India through air and land border," the report said. Seizure reports also indicate FICN racketeers using villages, weekly haats, liquor shops and petrol pumps of the border areas with Nepal and Bangladesh to pump the fake currency into the system, it said.

Addressing the summit of five-nation grouping BRICS (Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa) at Fortaleza in Brazil, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 15, stated, "Terrorism is a threat that has assumed war-like proportions. It is in fact a proxy war aimed at innocent civilians. Due to different yardsticks the international community has not been able to combat terror effectively. I firmly believe that Terrorism, in any shape or form, is against Humanity. There should be Zero Tolerance towards Terrorism. Humanity must unite, and isolate terrorist forces, especially states that flout basic norms. Selective targeting of terrorism will not work", according to NDTV.He also stated, "We must help Afghanistan fight the forces of terrorism. This is important for it to preserve the progress it has made in the last decade. India will continue to assist Afghanistan in building its capacity; in governance, security and economic development. We look forward to working with our BRICS partners in this regard."PM further added, "The situation in West Asia poses a grave threat to regional, and global, peace and security. India is particularly concerned because this affects the lives of seven million Indian citizens; living in the Gulf region. We should explore how BRICS members can work together, in helping end the conflict in Iraq."

Intelligence agencies say al Qaeda is making inroads into India, sowing the seeds of a "final war" across the country, Daily Mail reports on July 16. Information gathered on al-Qaeda's India plans points to a mobilisation of its resources for jihad. The ideological goal of the group, as detailed in the report, is Ghazwa-e-Hind or the final battle in India. "Not only Kashmiri groups but Taliban and al-Qaeda affiliates have stakes in the larger scheme of Ghazwa-e-Hind where India is regarded as next battleground in the 'End of Times' battle. This ideology is likely to be used to drive Taliban and al-Qaeda affiliates into Kashmir," says an intelligence report.

Replying to a question in Parliament about foreign funding to Naxal-[Left-Wing Extremist (LWE)] groups in India, Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju on July 15 said that some cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) received training from the Communist Party of Philippines in 2005 and 2011, reports The Financial Express. He further said there was no specific intelligence input to indicate that Naxals were getting external or foreign assistance. “However, the CPI (Maoists) party has close links with foreign Maoist organisations in the Philippines and Turkey. The outfit is also a member of the Coordination Committee of Maoist Parties and organisations of South Aisa.... ...the so-called People’s war being waged by CPI (Maoists) against the Indian state has also drawn support from several fringe Maoist organisations located in Germany, France, Holland, Turkey and Italy", the Minister said. He added that the recovery of arms and ammunition of foreign origin from LWEs in different encounters is an indication of the fact that they are procuring weapons from different sources. The Minister also informed the House that the situation is being closely monitored and if the situation demands, the help of the Ministry of External Affairs will be taken for raising the matter with the country concerned.

Acquittals in terror cases should not be misconstrued as innocence of the accused, the Minister of State for Home, Kiren Rijiju told Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Indian Parliament) on July 16, reports The Times of India. Rijiju said since 2009, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) was assigned 86 terror cases for investigation out of which 11 were partially or fully decided and 28 accused were convicted and 13 acquitted."However, acquittals in NIA cases have so far been for the reasons of variance in appreciation of strength of evidence by the prosecution and the presiding officer of the court and therefore, these acquittals cannot be termed as 'honourable acquittals'," he said.The minister said the central government did not maintain any data whether a large number of Muslim youth arrested on charges of terrorism had been 'honourably exonerated' by various courts after the cases were found to be false."The acquittal by courts may also be because of lack of sufficient evidence which could establish/prove charges beyond all reasonable doubt," he said. "As regards category-wise details, there are 39 'Z-plus', 71 'Z', 125 'Y' and 35 'X' category protectees," he added.

He was brought to Mumbai on July 16 and produced before the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) Court which remanded him in Police custody till July 28, 2014. Following the blasts, he fled to Dubai, and a look-out notice was issued in 2013 for him, after his name came up in connection with funding Indian Mujahideen (IM) for carrying out the blasts. Damada, a native of Bhatkal in Karnataka, runs a garment business in Dubai. His partner Muzaffar Kola is also accused of facilitating hawala money for the 13/7 blasts. Kola, in turn, is known to another Delhi based hawala agent, Kanwalnayan Pathrija, who was arrested by ATS in 2012. "In connivance with each other, these three agents handed over Rs 10 lakh in cash to Bhatkal, and the money was used to trigger the coordinated 13/7 explosions," an ATS officer said.

The Shillong Times reports that Assam Government on July 16 constituted one-man Commission of Inquiry to inquire into the causes and circumstances leading to incidents of violence that took place in Baksa and Kokrajhar Districts, on May 1 and 2 in which more than 46 civilians were killed. The Commission will be headed by retired Judge of the Guwahati High Court Justice Mutum B K Singh. Commission will assess the response on the part of the administration in containing the situation and in providing relief to those affected and try to ascertain there was any political conspiracy and will identify the individuals or groups or organisations responsible for the violence.Assam government would urge the Government of India (GoI) to frame a policy for granting asylum to people who have taken refuge in India after fleeing their country on grounds of religious persecution and discrimination, reports The Shillong Times on July 17. Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on April 20 2012 had submitted memorandum to then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh urging him that Indian citizens who had to flee due to religious persecution during partition should not be treated as foreigners. However All Assam Students' Union (AASU) adviser Samujjal Bhattacharyya on July 16 stated that “This seems to be a conspiracy of the Congress government to ensure their vote bank politics. Assam has already taken enough burden of the illegal infiltration by accepting those illegal infiltrators who came prior to 1971. However, a small state like Assam cannot take any further burden and those who came after 1971 must leave the state.”The Shillong Times reports that on July 16 as a part of security measures it was decided to set up fixed Police Pickets in the vulnerable areas such as BTAD.Alleging all-round failure of Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC), All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) on July 16 demanded imposition of President’s Rule in the BTAD areas, reports Assam Tribune. They also demanded a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the killings, alleging that the culprits involved in such acts of violence always get away and reiterated demand for seizure of illegal arms and review of BTC Accord.

The intelligence agencies are scanning immigration data and missing persons reports in Police Stations across India to cull out suspicious disappearance of Muslim youths in strife-torn regions across the globe, The Times of India reports on July 18. The data are being analyzed on the basis of available information and visits of youths to destinations where their presence is not justified for either religious reasons (eg haj) or employment purposes. Those having gone on haj but have not returned and those having lost contact with family are also being looked at closely. It's a mammoth task as close to 60, 00,000 Indians live in West Asia and thousands go to the region every year for jobs and pilgrimage. "It's like looking for a pin in a haystack. Although we are applying elimination methods and sifting through data is being done based on collation of various information received, it is still a very difficult task. But it has to be done," said an officer from the security establishment. There are 10,000 Indians in Iraq alone. Thousands of Shias visit the country along with a smaller number of Sunnis for pilgrimage. Some of the latter are being suspected of having gone astray and joined the dreaded Islamic State of Iraq and Syria which has captured parts of Iraq and declared a caliphate. "There is information that several youths visiting Turkey—a country which would not raise terror suspicion — have sneaked into Syria and Iraq. It is very difficult to track such movements," said the officer.But it's not just Iraq which is the problem. There are Indians visiting Dubai, Iran and Saudi Arabia only to later sneak into Pakistan and then Afghanistan. Several Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, some of whom are now fighting alongside the Taliban in Afghanistan, had fled to Pakistan via Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Two Karnataka youths, arrested by Bangalore Police in 2012 for targeting Hindu fundamentalists, had sneaked into Pakistan via Iran to fight in Afghanistan.

After reaching Malaysia, they did various jobs. They said the LTTE had a lot of members in Malaysia. "We thought of rebuilding the LTTE organization. We commemorated the LTTE Heroes Day in Malaysia. Our efforts were all in vain. Our members are still in Jaffna." On the basis of revelations made by them the police are expected to make some arrests in the North.

An alert from Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) suggests that Pakistan-based gangs are running fake lottery rackets through 349 Indian bank accounts, Hindustan Times reports on July 21. “Input from R&AW indicates that 349 bank accounts are being used/operated by Indian associates for facilitating Pakistan-based groups running fake lottery rackets,” an official note said adding that details of 99 users of Indian telephone numbers who are the local collaborators of the Pakistani groups “are under watch”.In the country-wide network operated by Indian associates of the Pakistani gangs, at least 133 bank accounts in the State Bank of India (SBI), 33 in ICICI bank, 18 in Punjab National Bank (PNB) and others in Bank of Baroda, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Union Bank of India, Central Bank of India and the United Commercial Bank of India, are being operated by Pak-based gangs. About 139 accounts are of unidentified banks. “Details of these bank accounts and the telephone numbers are being shared with other intelligence agencies”, a senior government official told.The modus operandi involves a phone call from Pakistan with the information that the would-be victim has won a lottery and to collect the entire amount, a certain amount has to be deposited for collection and processing charges in certain Indian bank accounts. After the amount is deposited, someone withdraws the cash and disappears. “The amount is then handed over to hawala [illegal money transaction] operators who send it to Pakistan usually routed through Saudi Arabia and UAE. In this entire swindle, Indian operators get about 5 per cent of the proceeds of the crime,” a senior government official tracking the crime stated.

The Telegraph reports that two teenagers, identified as Brijil M. Sangma and Lakshish Sangma, were injured on July 25 in crossfire between Security Forces (SFs) and GNLA militants at Jogogre near Bajengdoba in East Garo Hills District when SFs raided a GNLA hideout. SFs stated that group of five militants, led by “area commander” Rangdat, were staying at the hideout. Police have recovered a 7.65mm pistol with four live rounds of ammunition and an empty cartridge from the hideout. The SFs have raided twelve hideouts of GNLA, after Counter Insurgency operations were launched in the last two months. The Shillong Times further adds that the ‘area commander’ Rangdat is the second in command of GNLA’s ‘northern command’ and a close aide of ‘area commander’ Pilliport D Shira.According to security outputs, the killing of non tribal labourers in West Garo Hills is being carried out to neutralize Police operations against militants, reports The Shillong Times on July 26. West Garo Hills Deputy Commissioner (DC), Pravin Bakshi stated “The spate of killings has a clear design to vitiate the communal atmosphere of Garo Hills and neighbouring Districts and precipitate a law and order situation wherein communal tension prevails. It is being done with the intent to gain strategically in terms of the current Police operations against militancy in Garo Hills. This has been clearly suggested by multiple security inputs and intelligence reports.” The killing of non-tribal labourer Saidul Islam on July 24 and another labourer on July 21 at West Garo Hills District may precipitate communal tension and law and order problems in West and South West Garo Hills Districts.

Intelligence agencies who questioned Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Zahid Hussain, arrested by the Special task Force (STF) believe that Zahid was an expert counterfeiter of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN), The Times of India reports on July 29. Zahid, according to them, was handpicked and trained by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) appointed master counterfeiter Iqbal Kana. His questioning has also revealed that the 2010 German Bakery blast of Pune (Maharashtra) was a joint operation by the IM and the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operatives."Hussain's role in the terror outfit was logistical. He sheltered the persons involved and he was a conduit for goods coming from Pakistan into India, through the Bangladesh border," said an investigator. "He not only supplied the explosives for the blast but also provided fake notes of various currencies. These were brought in several rounds in to Bengal through Nadia [District]," added the officer.Maharashtra Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) Chief Himanshu Roy said that they are checking past records to try and ascertain if his name had cropped up (or any of his pseudo names) in counterfeiting cases across Maharashtra, UP, "A team of officers has gone to Kolkata to interrogate Hussain, after which we will get a clearer picture of his role in the German Bakery blast case. We are also inspecting our crime records to ascertain his link in counterfeit currency cases."Another officer said: "After Hussain's arrest the NIA and the ATS has been asked to relook cases and probe counterfeit currency cases registered across Bengal, UP, Bihar, UP and Maharashtra especially since 2010."Zahid, in fact, has been a very frequent visitor to Pakistan and was one of the biggest carriers of FICN in eastern India. Sources in Kolkata Police's Special task Force (STF) said they are investigating if Zahid is originally a Pakistani national.

With changes in Maoist scenario in south Odisha, restructuring of deployment of Border Security Force (BSF) personnel in the area is on the anvil, reports The Hindu. According to sources, there is no plan of deploying more BSF personnel for anti-Maoist operations in south Odisha. But their positioning may be changed as per recent needs. Speaking to The Hindu, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Yashwant Jethwa said there were possibilities of establishment of some new BSF camps in Malkangiri, Koraput and Rayagada Districts. These new camps would not involve deployment of extra BSF personnel. The existing BSF personnel in south Odisha would only be redeployed as per recent changes in Maoist activity and needs. The areas where extra presence of these paramilitary forces was being thought of include Malkangiri-Chhattisgarh border along Sukma, Odisha-Andhra Pradesh border under Pottangi Police Station limits in Koraput District and border areas of Rayagada-Kalahandi Districts.

Dawood Ibrahim is learnt to have joined hands with the Boko Haram, DNA India reports on July 31. Latest intelligence inputs indicate Dawood's younger brother Anees Ibrahim travelled to Lagos in Nigeria recently and met Abubukar Shkau, 'chief' of Boko Haram. Boko Haram will set up several drug cartels across India with the help of the D-gang, which will also be one of the suppliers. "Since Dawood and his gang-members are under constant watch of Indian security agencies, it is difficult for them to directly smuggle drugs into the country. By tying up with Boko Haram, Dawood will not use his men; he will use Boko Haram members to smuggle drugs," an officer said.Security officials are worried that since the deal was stuck a few months ago, Boko Haram might have already pushed in several operatives in India with the help of Dawood's well-established network. According to available statistics, there are roughly around 2,000 Nigerian drug-peddlers in the country. Most of them stay illegally on expired visas and function individually.

The Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court granted parole to a 1997 Mumbai bomb blast convict, Mohammed Farukh Mohammed Yusuf Sheikh for attending his daughter's marriage, The Times of India reports on August 1. Mohammed Farukh lodged in Amravati jail, had applied for a parole to divisional commissioner and jail superintendent for attending his daughter's marriage.

The respondents also informed that the accused, undergoing 55 years of consecutive imprisonment, might jump the parole and go into hiding. The petitioner challenged this decision through counsel Mir Nagman Ali who contended that earlier also, he was released on parole and he returned before it ended, without indulging in any criminal activity. A division bench comprising Justices Bhushan Dharmadhikari and Chandrakant Bhadang then issued notices to the Amravati commissioner and superintendent before releasing him on parole.
