A tribal man, identified as Lalit Dora (50), was killed by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Dhuliput village in Paparmatla area under Chitrakonda Police Station area in Malkangiri District on July 1, suspecting him to be a Police informer, reports Business Standard. Maoists stormed in to his house in the night, dragged Dora out and thrashed him to death as the rebels are observing 'protest week' demanding halt to anti-Maoists operations by Security Forces, Police said July 5. Though the incident took place four days ago, the information was received late as the village is located in a remote and inaccessible area in the Maoist-affected Malkangiri District. The incident came close on the heels of the abduction and killing of Raman Tamarabi (40) from Chintamchilika on June 30. His body was found in a nearby forest the next day, Police officials said.

On July 1, China offered to discuss with India its recent move at the United Nations (UN) blocking action against the alleged November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attack mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, reports The Hindu. This marks a subtle shift in position, which could deepen the counter-terror dialogue between New Delhi and Beijing. “We need to have further discussion and conversation so that we can have better understanding and can work closely on it. We are ready to do that. We have a mechanism of counter-terrorism consultation between the two ministries in which it can be discussed,” said Huang Xiliang, Deputy Director General of the Asian Affairs Department of the Chinese Foreign Ministry.He added, “Both India and China are victims of terrorism. We have similar positions on this. We are working quite well in this field.” However, he stressed that specific issues, raised in multilateral forums required further discussions. Mr. Huang pointed out that India and China shared similar positions in-principle on terrorism at the U.N. “On specific issues... we need to stay (in) close communication for better understanding and close cooperation,” he added.

The ‘commander-in-chief’ of the United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I), Paresh Baruah, claimed that all the constituents of United National Front of WESA (UNLFW)-[WESA- Western South East Asia], the newly formed platform of four rebel groups of the north-eastern region, have equal rights, reports The Assam Tribune on July 2. He also said that Manipur-based rebel groups would join the new platform within the next few months. The ULFA-I leader said that the six Manipur-based rebel groups, who formed the Coordination committee (CorCom), are morally bound with the new platform and they were part of the discussion process during its formation. But they have not formally joined the new platform and sought six months’ time to settle their own issues. Asked to elaborate, Baruah said that the Manipur-based rebel groups were supporting the formation of the new platform. He said that a few of the groups of Manipur had links with the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak Muivah (NSCN-IM), which is holding talks with the Government of India. Apart from this issue, the Manipur-based groups had some other matters, which need to be settled before joining the platform. UNLFW consists of NSCN-Khaplang (NSCN-K), ULFA-I, Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) and IK Songbijit faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS)

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres allegedly killed a tribal civilian, identified as Raman Tamarabi (40), in the cut off area of Balimela reservoir near Chintamchilika village in Malkangiri District of Odisha on July 1, reports The Hindu. It is alleged that a group of armed Maoists had abducted Tamarabi from Chintamchilika village on June 1, suspecting him to be a ‘Police informer’. His body was found in the forest near the village. The throat of the victim had been slit open. Some locals claimed that the body also had bullet marks. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of Police, Amitabh Thakur, in charge of south-west Police range, said no one had come out to report this murder, but the Police are enquiring into it. Maoists are observing ‘protest week’ demanding the end of anti-Maoist operations especially in the cut off area of Balimela reservoir and its adjoining area in Visakhapatnam District of Andhra Pradesh. This protest week observation call has been given by Malkangiri-Visakha-Koraput divisional committee of the CPI-Maoist.

Arrested militants of Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) revealed to interrogators that plans to attack Indian forces had been building up since February 2015, reports The Times of India on July 5. They revealed that the decision to end the ceasefire was taken under pressure from Khaplang's ‘military advisor’ Nikki Sumi and other members from Myanmar. A meeting held in Taga (Myanmar) had pressed for it in November 2014. The announcement was, however, delayed as Khaplang wanted to secure his interests in Myanmar. Khaplang signed a ceasefire agreement with Myanmar in February and ended the agreement with India in March. Sources said Khaplang had been preparing to abrogate the ceasefire with India since 2011 but stayed the course because of pressure from Indian Naga leaders in the group. However, towards the end of 2014 he became determined to do so and made an announcement after expelling two moderate Naga leaders.Interrogation of arrested militant Khumlo Abi Anal alias Ambision revealed that talks of ending ceasefire with India had begun in December 2014. An unnamed intelligence official stated, "He has said that he got the first inkling of Khaplang's mind during his visit to Taga (Myanmar) in December 2014. A leader close to Khaplang told him that NSCN-K at present consists of Myanmar Nagas and Indian Nagas and that there was a need to segregate them."Another arrested NSCN-K militant Khekaho Rchil, who was arrested on May 26 revealed that in the last week of February, he learnt from another member of the group that Khaplang would end the ceasefire with India, reports The Times of India on July 5. He was also informed about the plans of NSCN (K) to attack security forces. He was instructed by Nikki Sumi and Isak Sumi not to attend the ceasefire supervisory board meeting on March 27, reports The Times of India on July 5.

Azamgarh (District) in Uttar Pradesh is on the radar of the Central intelligence agencies once again, dnaindia.com reports on July 8. The trigger is the news of Mohammad Sajid alias 'Bada Sajid', who was on the 'most wanted' list of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), being killed in Syria while fighting for the Islamic State (IS) there.After the latest development, the intelligence agencies are learnt to have quickened their search for seven other suspected hardcore terrorists on NIA’s 'most wanted', all hailing from Azamgarh, four of whom carry a reward of INR 10,00,000.“We are definitely in touch with Central agencies to find out more about Sajid’s death in Syria,” says Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) IG Ram Kumar. Efforts are on to find who all he was in touch with, he adds. However, he says the ATS is looking at the entire state to ascertain these contacts and not only Azamgarh. Sources say surveillance on a large number of telephones and mobiles of Azamgarh has already been started and efforts are on to find out who all have been in contact with people in Syria and Iraq since the IS started its campaign to usurp power.Sajid had masterminded the serial blasts in Delhi, Jaipur and Ahmedabad in 2008. NIA had declared a reward of INR 10,00,000 for information on Sajid’s whereabouts. His younger brother Chhota Sajid had been killed along with another youth in a police encounter in the well-known Batla House encounter in Delhi on September 19, 2008. Two suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, Mohammad Saif and Zeeshan were arrested while a fourth accused Ariz Khan had escaped. All these, suspected to be IM operatives, were from Azamgarh. For a long time after the Batla encounter, Azamgarh had virtually become a political battlefield.

The Jammu and Kashmir government on July 7, acknowledged reports of young boys joining militant ranks in Kashmir and said it has thrown up a “major challenge” for the present dispensation, reports Greater Kashmir. The government also said no military approach can help deal with the situation “which is essentially a result of alienation.” Senior People's Democratic Party (PDP) leader and Minister for Education Naeem Akther said the government is “fully aware” of media reports that some 35 young boys have landed in militant ranks in the recent past. “It’s obviously a matter of concern. It has thrown up a big challenge for us on various fronts—moral, political and social. I believe the problem can’t be dealt militarily as the cause behind it is alienation,” Akther said. Pertinently, a group of young-boys-turned-militants posed in a photograph which was uploaded on social networking site, Facebook, sending security agencies in Kashmir into a tizzy. According to Police estimates, 100 youth joined militancy in the past 18 months while 35 youth joined militant ranks this year. These youth mainly hail from South Kashmir.

Bangla Bhai, 'military commander' of Jagrato Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB), who was executed in 2007, visited West Bengal in 2005 and spent three months touring several Districts trying to set up a base for the banned militant outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) in the state, investigations have revealed Daily Star reports on July 9.The National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials learnt how Siddique ul-Islam alias Bangla Bhai prepared the ground for the network that was exposed nine years later while investigating the blast in a house at Bardhaman's Khagragarh on October 2, 2014. Bangla Bhai entered India through Dhulian in Murshidabad and settled in the District. "In 2005, JMB leaders sent Bangla Bhai to Murshidabad as it served a two-fold purpose of preparing the ground for setting up a base for the organisation as well as providing him shelter from the security forces of Bangladesh who were hot on his heels," an NIA officer stated.With the discovery of the role of the JMB kingpin, it has now become clear that the efforts started at least nine years earlier. "Murshidabad was the first district in Bengal where JMB set up its organisation. Bhai worked in close association with Hatkata Nasirullah, whom we are looking for," an NIA officer stated. "With his base at Domkal in Murshidabad, Bangla Bhai started contacting other leaders in Murshidabad, Nadia and Birbhum. He told them that days were not far off when the caliphate would be established in Bangladesh and their task would be to spread the idea in the bordering districts of India too," added the NIA officer.

Army on July 11, said that large numbers of Kashmiri youth are turning to their recruitment rallies to defeat the militant designs who ask them not to join the force, reports Daily Excelsior. Director General Recruitment of Army, Lieutenant (Lt) General R N Nair, told reporters on the sidelines of Passing Out Parade of Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry at Srinagar that Army is making more recruitments in Jammu and Kashmir than its vacancies. “Jammu and Kashmir recruitment is very strong. We have 1400 vacancies for Jammu and Kashmir but we recruit over 2000 every year”, said Lt Gen Nair. The Director General said that the response to the Army’s recruitment rallies is overwhelming. “When we conduct recruitment rallies thousands are queuing up”, he added. Lt General Nair said that there were times in Kashmir when Kashmiri youth were not turning up for Army recruitment rallies. “There were times when we were conducting recruitment rallies here, people were not turning up. Now they come in thousands and they try to get recruited. The motivation to join the Army is there and it has increased”, he added. The Director General said that militants wanted that Kashmiri youth should not join the Army but they have failed in it. “Unfortunately terrorist groups want that civilians should not join the Army. They have totally failed. You find recruitment in Jammu and Kashmir is much more than what we are expecting and what are the vacancies. So I am sorry to say militants have failed to achieve what they wanted to”, he added.

Chief Minister (CM) Manik Sarkar on July 11 asked Union Government to strongly persuade the government of Bangladesh for total dismantling of hideouts of the Northeastern militants, along with freezing of the militant leaders bank accounts, reports, reports Indian Express. Manik Sarkar expressed apprehension about the Biswamohan Debbarma faction of National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT-BM) militants sheltering in 16 camps across the Indo-Bangladesh border. Three of these camps are near the border and attacks are mounted on the Indian side from there, he said. “Some recent incidents in other parts of the region indicate that they are trying to revive their cadres under a common umbrella and launch a massive attack on security forces,” the CM said. In addition, CM Manik Sarkar also gave a proposal for constructive dialogue with the misguided tribal youths, especially youths associated with banned outfit of Tripura, NLFT-BM reports Tripurainfo. Addressing the meeting of the chief ministers of the Northeastern States on security and development with Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on July 11 at Guwahati, Sarkar said NLFT-BM extremists are still hiding across the border, which is major source of threat for peace and harmony in the North East state. He also urged that the cadres and leaders of militants should be apprehended by the Bangladesh and other neighbouring countries of Northeastern region and handed over to Indian authority.CM Manik Sarkar added that so far two rounds of talks have been held with NLFT. Despite the ongoing peace process, NLFT-BM militants have been constantly trying to revive and rejuvenate their shattered organization. They are also trying to enroll new youths and continue their extortion activities, said Sarkar. Chief Minister also gave a proposal to revive the rehabilitation packages, which was approved by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs in 2005.

However, due to the porous border they manage to continue their acts of extortion and intimidation. To enable any border guarding force from discharging its duties effectively, it is absolutely essential that the border is fenced and a network of roads developed on a priority basis”.

Rajnath Singh expressed concern over incidents of kidnapping for ransom, particularly in Assam and Meghalaya and said the number of such incidents had almost doubled, reports The Indian Express on July 12. He stated that “In Garo Hills (Meghalaya), some new splinter groups were kidnapping and looting businessmen at gunpoint. Such criminal activities must be dealt with firmly. “There has been a marked increase in low-visibility yet high-impact violent crimes like kidnapping for ransom and extortions in Assam and Meghalaya. It has severely undermined the common man’s access to justice. In some states, the ratio of prosecution of criminals in cases of serious crimes is disturbingly low, as low as 5 per cent against the all-Indian figure of over 85 per cent.”

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) carried out extensive review of security scenario in Jammu and Kashmir including steps required to wean away local youth from the terrorism and stone pelting and steps required to keep militancy and law and order situation well under control, reports Daily Excelsior on July 11. The coordination between Intelligence agencies and Security Forces (SFs) and Police, who were dealing with militancy and law and order situation, was high on agenda of the Central Government. Official sources said that Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh had deputed two high ranking officers including Intelligence Bureau (IB) Director Dineshwar Sharma and Centre Government’s Special Envoy on Extremism and Counter Terrorism, Syed Asif Ibrahim, former chief of the IB to meet with top brass of the State Government, Army, para-military forces, Intelligence agencies and Jammu and Kashmir and discuss with them the steps required to maintain peace in the State. Sources said apart from security scenario, the Central team also discussed certain internal developments in the Kashmir valley like raising of Islamic State (IS) and Pakistani flags by some youths recently. The officers were briefed that number of such youths was very less and areas of their operation were also confined. However, the Centre Government, according to sources, wanted such youths to be weaned away from anti-national activities as they could be pushed to militancy. According to sources, the UMHA also wants to take the opinion of State Government on every aspect of the situation in Jammu and Kashmir and keep it (the Government) well informed of the Centre’s policy vis-à-vis Kashmir and Pakistan.

Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh on July 11 stressed the need to decrease deployment of Security Forces[with reference to Central Armed Police Forces] in the Northeast to encourage "positive thinking" among people of the region, reports The Telegraph. “In the wake of improvement in security scenario, there is a need to review deployment of security forces in the region. At present, the deployment is more than when the insurgency was at its peak. In the past few years there has been substantial strengthening of the state police. Without compromising on security, we must plan to reduce deployment to make the environment easy to encourage positive thinking of outsiders. But we assure to help you in the deployment of central forces when needed," Rajnath Singh said after his over four-hour-long meeting with the Chief Ministers (CMs) in Guwahati.Even as UHM Rajnath Singh asked the CMs for a realistic audit of deployment of central armed forces though the CMs of Nagaland and Assam, T.R. Zeliang and Tarun Gogoi, were vocal about possible attacks by Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) and United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) following the recent abrogation of ceasefire with the former and the rebel groups of the region joining hands under the banner of United Liberation Front of Western South East Asia (UNLF-WSEA)."The umbrella group has already struck at security forces in Nagaland, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh. There is an apprehension the group or some of its members, particularly ULFA-I, may try to strike in Assam in a show of strength. There are also reports that UPLF, a splinter militant group, comprising ex-UPDS [United People's Democratic Solidarity] and ex-DHD [Dima Halim Daogah] cadres, who had signed a memorandum of settlement earlier, has developed a nexus with NSCN-K," said Tarun Gogoi.

“Our party held a people’s court which awarded death penalty to Badru [a DVC member of the Darbha area] and Hemla Bhagat [another Darbha DVC member and chief of Maoists’ military intelligence wing in the area]. Both of them have been killed for indulging in anti-people, anti-party activities. They were in contact with the police and were planning to kill some senior leaders of the party. They were also conspiring to surrender with weapons before the enemy [the police],” said Surinder, secretary of the Darbha Division of the CPI-Maoist, in a press statement on July 12. However, the statement did not mention anything about two other leaders — Hinge and Kosi — who have been killed by the rebels in the last week of June. “Our party never executed any of its cadres who wanted to go home. We only punish those who indulge in treachery and damage our party and the movement. We appeal to the people to continue this struggle,” said the Maoist leader.Further, Ayatu, secretary of the Malangir area committee of the CPI-Maoist, has been ‘detained’ by his own party men and has been kept in captivity in the Katekalyan forest in Chhattisgarh’s Dantewada District, reliable sources have told The Hindu. Ayatu has been accused of facilitating the surrender of Maoist leader Kiran alias Sannu Potam on May 24 before the Dantewada Police. Sources told The Hindu that Ayatu reportedly uttered some “unpleasant words” against the highhandedness of Darbha DVC member and Malangir area committee in charge Nirmala.

A commission formed by the Supreme Court (SC) to inspect the India-Bangladesh border in Assam has reported that infiltration is still continuing because of several loopholes in guarding the border, reports The Telegraph. SC had appointed the commission after observing that the Centre and the Assam government had been "dragging their feet" in the matter of implementation of its earlier order, particularly regarding border fencing, construction of border roads, night patrolling and floodlights, among others."We are, therefore, of the view that the court should appoint a commission to visit the Indo-Bangla border running through the length of the state of Assam and report to this court its findings," the court had ordered on May 13.Commissioner Upamanyu Hazarika, who is also a senior advocate of the Supreme Court, submitted his report to the court today, said Arvind Kumar Sharma, advocate to petitioner Assam Public Works (APW).The report said in Dhubri district there is no patrolling while the border is open. In the Silchar sector, floodlights are non-operational because of inadequate electricity supply and there is no patrolling by state police. Along the 150m border belt, there are villages where people move freely as there are no gates or proper fencing. The commission submitted videos and documents.Further, SC ordered the Centre and the Assam Government to take immediate steps on the report like improving security, roads and floodlights on the border. It also asked the commissioner to visit the border after two months to take stock of the measures taken by the governments after today's order.

Thirty tribals from eight villages in Visakha Agency of Andhra Pradesh where the State Government is proposing to take up bauxite mining, have been warned by the Communist Party of India-Maoist’s (CPI-Maoist) ‘east division committee’ to come out of the bauxite rehabilitation committees and support the local people’s struggle against bauxite mining, reports The Hindu on July 16. They and their families would face boycott or physical action if they failed to surrender to the people and avoid promoting bauxite mining, ‘secretary’ of the ‘east division committee’ Kailasam said in a press release. The statement has names of 30 tribals on it and alleged that they had fallen to the Government’s plan to divide the tribals to facilitate bauxite mining in an easy way. Apart from the 30 persons named in the list some others are working secretly but all have been warned in the past through people’s courts, posters, banners and paper statements. In Jerrela alone people’s court was held three times but they failed to change their stand. They cannot bring disaster to their own people just for the sake of receiving a salary of INR 14,000 a month, Kailsam said and warned the government that would be held responsible for any action taken against the people the party had listed or those working secretly.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) is inching towards establishing the motive behind the April 2 ambush on an army convoy at Khonsa in Tirap District with the investigation suggesting it to be the handiwork of Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM), reports The Telegraph on July 17. A source stated that "It appears that the outfit had carried out the attack to avenge the killing and arrests of its cadres by security forces in Arunachal Pradesh. Their plan was to blow up the convoy but luckily the powerful bomb they had buried under a muddy patch on the road didn't go off or else the casualties would have been much higher. "When the militants failed to detonate the remote controlled bomb and the first three trucks moved out of the kill zone, they opened fire on the last truck of the convoy and jawans sitting on the tailboard of the truck bore the brunt of the attack," Source also stated that "The kind of explosives used and the way the ambush was carried out also suggest NSCN (I-M)'s involvement since its cadres are more adept in the use of explosives and better trained compared to the NSCN (K) cadres."He also said that according to information shared by the Arunachal Police NSCN-IM militants comprising ‘sergeant major’ Ayo Tangkhul, ‘captain’ Kapai, lieutenant Ami Tangkhul, ‘lieutenant colonel’ Kewang Hassik, ‘major’ Anok Wangsu and ‘sergeant major’ Chenaye Tangkhul alias Ayo are suspected to have carried out the attack with the help of some villagers, reports The Telegraph.

Dipak Patnaik, counsel of Sabyasachi and Dandapani, said the Court quashed imposition of the UAPA as the prosecution had not adhered to basic norms needed for its imposition. “As per section 45 (2) of the UAP Act, no court should take cognizance under this Act without having a valid sanction from the Central government. The initial charge sheet filed by prosecution did not include any sanction order from the government for imposition of this Act. Moreover, the sanction order had to come from a reviewing officer of secretary rank of Central government as it a Central Act. But on a later date prosecution had filed a sanction order for UAP Act from the State government, which was not authorised for it,” Patnaik added.

We are also considering to hold case hearings through videoconferencing, instead of transporting them to court physically to reduce the threat factor."He added, "We have intensified patrolling both in uniform and mufti in every area. Quick mobile teams are also on roads to keep vigil. But people have to be alert and inform the police.

One of the two Sri Lankan Tamils arrested on July 20 along with communication gadgets and cyanide in Ramanathapuram District of Tamil Nadu (India), has been identified as Krishnakumar, a close associate of slain Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran, said the Indian Police, reports Colombo Gazette on July 22. A top Police officer said that sleuths from Intelligence Bureau (IB), Tamil Nadu ‘Q Branch’ Police, and Special Intelligence Unit are now interrogating the LTTE militant, arrested along with two others during a routine vehicle check at Uchipuli in the Ramanathapuram District. Police also said all coastal Districts in the state had been alerted to monitor for movement of members of LTTE and checkposts asked to be extra vigilant. It was suspected Krishnakumar would have arrived in the country in the immediate aftermath of the decimation of LTTE and killing of Prabhakaran by Sri Lankan Security Forces (SFs) in 2009, Police said.While local Police had earlier said five persons, including two Sri Lankan Tamil refugees, were detained, it was clarified later that only three had been arrested. They were identified as Krishnakumar, Rajendran, also a Sri Lankan national, and Sasikumar, a local who drove the car. Krishnakumar was planning to go to Sri Lanka by illegal ferry when he was arrested. Sasikumar, the driver of the car, and Rajendran, an alleged ‘ganja’ (drug) peddler residing in Uchipuli, were arrested for providing shelter to the militant of a banned organisation, Police said. Police said Krishnakumar and Rajendran could be sent to a special camp (for former Tamil militants) after interrogation.The Times of India adds that Tamil Nadu Police suspect that the arrested LTTE operative was possibly smuggling materials like cyanide capsules and Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment to some people in Northern Province of Sri Lanka. Police said, Krishnakumar had been staying in Trichy and had lot of contacts at refugee camps in Chennai and Trichy. Krishnakumar was trying to leave the country as his marriage was getting fixed in Jaffna. But he could not go legally since he feared that his name was in the LTTE cadre list and he may be detained as soon as he landed in Sri Lanka. Krishnakumar was transporting these materials to some people in Jaffna and Police sources speculated that there is some regrouping of LTTE going on in Sri Lanka, though they suffered a fatal defeat in the civil war of 2009. The exact sources who provided him cyanide and the people to whom he was transporting the materials will be known after thorough investigation, Police said.

Social media accounts linked to known supporters of the Islamic State (IS) on July 20 posted images of two boats carrying armed IS fighters from the latest IS nasheed video — a video with English subtitles accompanied by a chant released by its media wing, Al Hayat Media, claiming that it showed “a boatful of Indians”, reports Indian Express. They claimed that one of the men was Abu Turab al Hindi, Indian Mujahideen (IM) 'commander' Muhammad “Bada” Sajid who was killed in Syria. The accounts also posted a separate image from the latest nasheed video of a purported Indian in the ranks of the IS, identifying him as Abu Qaqa al Hindi.“Do any one recognized anything? The latest Hayat media nasheed have a boatful of Indians,” tweeted @cihadci2 at 12:27 pm on July 20. This was accompanied by an image from the video of about a dozen IS fighters carrying assault rifles and an IS flag on two adjacent boats out on sea. “They sold themselves and their belongings to their master,” says the English subtitle.The account is believed to be operated by Fahad Shaikh, one of the four youths from Thane (Maharashtra) who reportedly joined the IS in May last year. “May this boat doesn’t stop until it conquer whole of India from Mushrikeen. And we invite you to keep filling it,” said another tweet. Pro-IS accounts also tweeted a still from the video of an IS fighter with his finger raised, identifying him as a “Mujahid from India”. “Abu qaqa al hindi, a Mujahid from India,” tweted @cihadci2. Fahad was earlier believed to be operating the account @magnetgas which was suspended on 21 occasions, only to resurface with a serial number suffixed to @magnetgas. He later shifted briefly to the handles @pneumatic11, @tungsten9 and @helium61 which were also suspended. Since then, he has used several variations of the handle @cihadci which have also been suspended.

The States that sent their reports to the Centre are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Kerala, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Assam and Tamil Nadu. A senior government official said there was a high probability that Indian intelligence agencies were not aware of the true dimension of the IS and it was being underplayed. “IS is expanding its global base and it is high time that India took it seriously,” he said.

As per the UMHA note "mass contact programmes launched by separatist leaders" and the extensive use of social media by anti-India elements also contributed to educated youths taking the path to terror while the perceived "lack of credibility of mainstream political leaders" and absence of employment opportunities are also driving the youth to take to terror activities. The effect of IS and other global jihadi movements on Kashmiri youths is now being closely studied by the UMHA.

With the Enforcement Directorate (ED) probe revealing receipt of alleged terror funds by All Party Hurriyat Conference-Geelani (APHC-G) leader Firdaus Ahmad Shah from Pakistani national Javed Iqbal, who was charge-sheeted by the Mumbai Police in 26/11 (November 26, 2008) Mumbai (Maharashtra) attack case, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) asked ED for details on common terror links and if it warrants a separate probe under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), The Times of India reports on July 21."We have asked ED for a report on the alleged terror linkages between Shah and 26/11 accused Javed Iqbal. The probe agency has also been asked to give its opinion on whether the linkages must be probed separately, possibly by National Investigation Agency (NIA) since it is already probing the larger conspiracy behind the 2008 Mumbai strikes. They need to clarify if Shah is the only one involved or the terror funding conspiracy extends to other Hurriyat leaders as well," said a senior UMHA official.

The security agencies have got a trace of a terror plot being hatched to avenge the death penalty given to 1993 Mumbai blast accused Yakub Memon, Daily Mail reports on July 23. Memon is slated to be hanged on July 30. Communication intercepts from various terror groups have revealed that a major strike may be carried out during the Independence Day celebrations (August 15, 2015). In a bid to stop any such strike, the security forces have put in place a counter offensive to thwart the attack by launching what is being termed as “Operation Lal Quila”. The intercepts of major terror groups such as the Indian Mujahideen (IM), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), Tehrik-e-Furqan (TeF), Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Pasban-e-Ahle Hadis (PAH) were received recently. Some intelligence inputs have also been received on the possible involvement of IS (Islamic State). During a meeting at the Prime Minster Security Unit of the Delhi Police, a very high threat perception was conveyed to the authorities. Among many measures that are being put in place, the highly-trained sniffer dogs (K9) unit of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) will be used to patrol the high-risk areas.

With intelligence inputs suggesting terror threat from Rohingya Muslims of Myanmar, who have sought refuge and settled in Hyderabad, City Police have stepped up vigil on those living here, New Indian Express reports on July 23. Police, though, is tight-lipped about any recent intelligence inputs about members of the community being in touch with radical groups abroad. Police officials do not deny the vulnerability factor of Rohingyas, who, they believe could be easily exploited by extremists to take up radical paths.In fact, after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested Khalid Mohammed, a Rohingya, from Balapur of Hyderabad District in November, 2014 in connection with the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman (West Bengal) blast case, the City Police perception had changed. As many as 1679 Rohingya refugees from Myanmar live in parts of Hyderabad and Cyberabad according to Police records. After their exodus in June 2012 in the aftermath of ethnic violence between Rakhine Buddhists and Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar to various parts of India, including Hyderabad, and considering their susceptibility towards extremists outfits, the city police have been keeping a strict surveillance on the community.

Even as Islamic State's (IS) activities in Turkey are increasing, there is a serious threat from the self-proclaimed caliphate to Turkish Ambassador in India, Burak Akcapar, intelligence agencies have warned, The Times of India reports on July 24. The alert comes at a time when a major attack took place in Turkey's town of Suruc earlier this week in which more than 32 men were reportedly killed. Top sources revealed that security around the Turkish Embassy, his residence in Lutyen's Delhi and the routes he travels has been increased, along with other Turkish diplomats. Turkish Embassy officials have also been informed about the threat to the ambassador, whose security is handled by Turkish Embassy security officials only, said sources. The alert by central intelligence agencies is being taken seriously as Turkey is a strategic partner in India's fight against the IS, which has captured significant parts of Iraq and Syria using violent means.Apart from the diplomats, intelligence agencies have also sounded the alarm about possible attacks by self-motivated members of IS on Turkish nationals and buildings in India. India and Turkey have joined hands on several counts to fight with IS, which is considered a common threat by the leadership of both the countries.

Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and intelligence agencies will screen Nepalese people crossing the India-Nepal border area in Mahrajganj District of Uttar Pradesh, The Times of India reports on July 24. Besides, religious places located along the border will be scanned to ensure that they are not used by Pakistani intelligence agencies, like the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), for ulterior motives, a senior SSB official said. "Terrorist organizations after training the youths may send them across the border through Nepal in a bid to create discord in our country," Assistant Commandant, SSB Mithul Kumar said. "A strict vigil has to be maintained and the youths should be allowed into the country only after thorough checking," he added.Kumar said certain groups were using religious places in the region as hideouts. He said there were reports that a youth force of Maoists has been constituted in Nepal and they may enter India to create disturbance.

Two Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, identified as Maansingh alias Arjun (45) and Sanker Salam (30), active at different capacities under Partapur area committee of the outfit, were arrested from Pakhanjore area of Kanker District on July 23, reports The Times of India.

Meanwhile, on the direction of Maoist leaders, he surrendered and went to jail. However, the Maoist again joined the underground movement after he was released on bail. He was elevated as commander of Kuli janmilitia after rejoining the outfit but due to prolonged illness, he was demoted from the position few months ago. Presently, he was tasked with making and repairing weapons. Similarly, Salam was a member of Jantana Sarkar's (people’s government) economic wing. He played a key role in arranging food commodities for Maoists besides making necessary preparations during their visit in the region. While Arjun was carrying a reward of INR 7,000 on his head, INR 1,000 was announced for the arrest of Salaam.

Four years after it registered a First Information Report (FIR) in connection with the 2008 Malegaon blasts, National Investigations Agency (NIA) has begun investigations in the case, The Times of India reports on July 25. The case had been stuck due to several litigations filed by the accused in the Supreme Court. "No investigation could have been carried out without the case papers being in our possession. Now that it has come back, investigations have begun. Though Maharashtra ATS has filed a chargesheet in the case, we need to look at all the facts and evidence afresh," said a senior NIA official. NIA DG Sharad Kumar will be travelling to Mumbai on July 30 to supervise the case and give direction to the investigations. The blasts, alleged to have been perpetrated by Hindutva fundamentalists, have 14 accused as listed by Maharashtra ATS which first investigated the case. These include Lieutenant Colonel Prasad Purohit and Sadhvi Pragya Thakur. The case was transferred to NIA in April 2011. Soon after, the accused filed several petitions in Supreme Court leading to the court calling for case papers for perusal. The petitions, filed on behalf of various accused, challenged invocation of Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in the case and NIA's right to interrogate the accused in custody. In total, there were eight litigations.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) on July 24 alerted the West Bengal State Government of a possible strike by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The New Indian Express. The CPI-Maoist has issued a notification stating, “Under the present political situation in West Bengal, the party’s Eastern bureau has decided to reconstitute the state committee. The party has analysed the political situation, our struggle and how to strengthen our organisation.” Combing operations were beefed up after the outfit put up posters in Jangalmahal, in the Western part of the state. A Central intelligence report stated that the Maoist central committee had directed its West Bengal unit to choose ‘comparatively soft targets’. The group has appointed Akash as the new ‘state secretary’ of the reconstituted 21-member committee, but according to its organisational structure, leaders, who are in jail have not been included on the committee.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on July 25 abducted two tribals and damaged three houses in Gobbaripada village in Rangabayalu panchayat of Munchingput mandal in Visakhapatanam District of Andhra Pradesh, reports The Times of India. According to sources, more than 100 armed Maoists and militia members entered Gobbaripada village, 40 km from Munchingput mandal headquarters bordering Odisha, and completely damaged one V Deenabandhu's house and removed the sheets from the roof of one V Lycon's house. They also destroyed a clay-tiled house of P Ramanna after beating the trio. Eventually, the villagers protested when the Maoists tried to torch Ramanna's house. The Maoists later abducted P Ramanna and P Dobbulu as well as two women from the village suspecting them to be Police informers. However, they released the women on their way to other villages, where a few more alleged Police informers were staying. After the incident, the entire village of over 30 houses became vacant after all the villagers fled for their lives.

Pangi Ramanna, a 27 years old youth abducted by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres from his native village at Gobrapada under Rangabayalu panchayat (village level local self government institution) in Munchingput mandal (administrative unit) of Visakhapatnam District on July 24 was killed according to information available on July 25, reports The Hindu. Ramanna, along with Pangi Dobulu (60) and Vanthala Sadhuram (15) were beaten up by the Maoists at the village before he was taken into deep forests. Ramanna was not an informer and also not responsible for the exchange of fire near the village one month ago in which a Maoist Suryam alias Sonu was killed, the Police said. In fact the deceased, was an educated person and waiting for teacher's job after completing DIET course, was away from the village for a long time preparing for the examinations. But a minute suspicion that he was an informer made the Maoists murder him, the Police added. On July 24 night, about 400 Maoists, militia members and sympathisers entered Gobrapada at around 10 p.m. They set off a tiffin box bomb in Pongi Jeenabandhu's house, destroying houses of Pongi Ramanna and Vanthala Lyko also. When they tried to set on fire Mariya Sonia's house, villagers resisted. The Maoists then thrashed the three persons and took away Ramanna with them. On July 26 information was received that he was killed.

The Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) acts as a catalytic agent to help the Northeast (NE) based groups to get a foothold in Jaigaon town in the newly-formed Alipurduar District of West Bengal, reports The New Indian Express on July 26.The KLO has organised several meetings here between NE groups and Maoists from Nepal, Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh and even the ISI. The ISI is very much active just across the border in Phuentsholling, a sleepy town in Bhutan. The entire operation of liasoning with insurgent groups is supervised by KLO leader Nityananda alias Jamai. The new equation between terrorist organisations from Nepal and Bangladesh with those in the northeast and West Bengal has come to the attention of Indian intelligence agencies. The JMB, in exchange for safe passage, is providing arms and ammunition to the KLO. After infiltrating through Assam, the JMB militants would move to other Districts of West Bengal. A cold war between the Police Forces of Assam and West Bengal also help them. Neither of the two police forces informs and alerts each other, leading to lack of coordination. “As such, we are finding it difficult to trace their movements. There is a clear cut instruction from the Ministry of Home Affairs to exchange information about any person entering from Bangladesh. The JMB terrorists infiltrate to Kokrajhar and Dhubri in Assam and then seek shelter in Alipurduar, Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar in West Bengal. Through their network, they reach other districts of Bengal and sometimes through Birbhum flee to Jharkhand. Their fluency in Bengali and similar culture help them melt within the local population,” said a Police official.

In a bid to instill confidence among the people and ensure all-round development, the Koraput District administration of Odisha is all set to launch a special programme, ‘Operation Blue Moon’, in Narayanpatna and Bandhugaon blocks, reports The Business Standard on July 27. ‘Operation Blue Moon’ would be launched on August 4, a day after the July 28-August 3 protest by Maoists for its slain activists, and will span over eight weeks, Collector of Koraput District Jaya Kumar V said. During the period, people's grievances will be addressed, surprise inspection of government offices carried out, villagers' demands for various projects will be listed and infrastructure development work expedited. The administration has appointed seven district-level officials as nodal officers for the programme, which will be monitored by the district collector. "Officials not staying in the block headquarters will be taken to task. Keeping in mind people's demands, projects will be designed and all villages equipped with piped water supply, electricity, schools, healthcare facilities and pucca roads," the Collector said. "People residing in Narayanpatna and Bandhugaon feel neglected. Most rural areas in the two blocks are yet to get all-weather roads," he said. The Centre has included Bandhugaon block among the 10 most backward blocks of the country under Vanbandhu Kalyan Yojana under which the blocks will receive INR 100 million annually from Union Tribal Affairs Ministry for the next five years to strengthen infrastructure.

Indian companies are increasingly suffering enormous losses due to rising cyber attacks that leads to interruption of business and loss of customer data, dnaindia.com reports on July 27. However, with only 100-150 policies covering cyber crime liability insurance being sold in the country, majority companies are inadequately protected against the growing menace, according to insurance companies. Financial sector that carries out financial transactions and handles cash is among the high-risk targets, but most banks in India, barring a few large private lenders, do not have cyber crime liability insurance. Industry officials said this could potentially lead to heavy business losses if the computer systems are hacked and customer data is stolen. According to Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) statistics, there have been 62,189 incidents of cyber frauds till June 2014. About 28,481 websites were hacked in India in 2013 and cyber crimes have cost India INR 24,630 crore in 2013, according to a Delhi High Court-commissioned report. India is ranked as one of the top three targets in cyber crime. According to available statistics, about 71,780 cyber frauds were reported in 2013, while 22,060 such cases were reported in 2012. Cyber terrorism is ranked as high a risk as political unrest. Industry experts say it could have a debilitating impact on companies and individuals. For example, if customers information is compromised in the US, the company has to individually inform each customer and the cost of notifying a customer may vary from USD 10 to USD 30.

Myanmar Army chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing is slated to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Defence Minister Manohar Parikar, Army chief Dalbir Singh Suhag and National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval, reports The Times of India on July 27. New Delhi is likely to flag how Pakistan's espousing the cause of Rohingya Muslims of Rakhine state is set to boost efforts by Pakistan-sponsored terror groups like Lashker-e-Toiba to radicalise the community and impart them terror training in camps along the Indo-Bangladesh border. India, during the talks, is likely to underline the common threat faced by the two countries from radicalised Rohingya Muslims, who may try to draw global attention to their cause by carrying out terror acts in Myanmar and elsewhere. A senior Government official stated that "ISI-backed terror outfits like Lashker, Jamaat ud Dawah and Falah-I-Insaniyat Foundation (FiF) have been hobnobbing with Rohingya community leaders and organizing jehadi training along Bangladesh-Myanmar border."

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has decided to buy around 6,000 motorbikes to mobilise troops engaged in anti-Naxal (Left Wing Extremism) operations and reduce dependence on jeeps and other four-wheelers, which fall prey to landmines causing casualty to the Security Forces (SFs), reports Business Standard. The bikes will be given to every battalion and strike units deployed for anti-Naxal operations, in the next few months, in the worst affected Left Wing Extremism areas of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Odisha. "The Union Home Ministry has sanctioned purchase of 5,920 motorcycles for deployment in Left Wing Extremism areas. Security personnel have been asked to totally cut down travel on four-wheelers in these areas as it gives out their movement and large vehicles get easily trapped in land mines which either leads to killing or maiming of troops," a senior official said. Apart from these, 36 bullet-proof vehicles would be procured by the country's largest paramilitary force for counter-insurgency operations in Jammu and Kashmir and North Eastern states under the same government sanction.

With Pakistan on July 3 sponsoring a United Nations (UN) Resolution expressing "serious concern" over the "plight" of Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state of Myanmar, India is worried that Pakistan-based jihadi outfits like Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) will be further emboldened to radicalise the community and train its members for carrying out terrorist activities in Myanmar and elsewhere, The Times of India reports on July 28. The resolution urged Myanmar to protect places of worship, ensure return of refugees, grant full citizenship rights to Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state, and allow full access of humanitarian assistance to affected persons and communities. Pakistan has, for some time now, been gathering support, both domestically and internationally, for Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. "ISI-backed terror outfits have been hobnobbing with Rohingya community leaders and organizing jehadi training along Bangladesh-Myanmar border," a senior Indian intelligence official said adding that Islamabad's open support to Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar comes hand-in-hand with its attempts to improve relations at the government level. "This is another instance of classic double speak that Pakistan is well known for," commented the officer. The sponsorship of the above resolution by Pakistan, castigating Myanmar, is not an isolated event. Pakistan-based terror outfits like LeT, JuD and Falah-i-Insaniyat Foundation (FIF) have all been known for their deep links with Rohingya Muslims.

In what constitutes undeniable evidence of Pakistan's involvement in the terror attack at Dinanagar in Gurdaspur District of Punjab on July 27, the intelligence agencies have found that the Global Positioning System (GPS) sets recovered from the slain terrorists were first fed with data on July 21 at Sargodha in the Punjab Province of Pakistan, reports The Times of India. The examination of GPS sets also shows that the three terrorists were sent with instructions to kill the District Magistrate (DM) and the Superintendent of Police (SP) of Gurdaspur, attack the Dinanagar Police station and inflict mass casualties by blowing up passenger trains. Top Government sources described the data retrieved from the GPS sets as "incontrovertible technical evidence of Pakistan's complicity", and expressed confidence that investigators would soon be able to determine the identity of the three attackers. The report said the GPS data shows that the masterminds had set three targets for the terrorists. The first was the Dinanagar-Pathankot rail track on which five bombs were found strapped. Dinanagar Police station, where the encounter took place resulting in the terrorists being killed, was the second on the hit list. The terrorists were expected to eventually proceed to the high profile targets of bungalows of the DM and the SP in the Civil Lines area of the town for what could have been a deadly climax. Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has emerged as the prime suspect behind July 27 terror attack in Gurdaspur in Punjab, adds The Times of India. The modus operandi was reminiscent of the storming of police stations in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), particularly the March attack carried out by LeT in Samba, while the equipment found on the three fidayeen such as GPS device, AK-47s and Chinese grenades, as well as a conscious effort on their part to conceal their identity bore the unmistakable stamp of a Lashkar operation. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA)'s initial assessment is that the terrorists may have infiltrated from across Pakistan into Kathua, which borders Dinanagar, the site of the attack. "It is likely that they were headed for a fidayeen operation in Jammu region, but given the tight security there in the wake of intelligence inputs on LeT's plans to push in two groups of infiltrators into Kathua, they may have found it easier to target an adjoining location in Punjab," a senior Home Ministry official said. "The modus operandi - terrorists dressed in military fatigues, early morning strike, car-jacking, indiscriminate firing and storming of a police station followed by engaging security forces in an encounter - had all the elements associated with a typical LeT attack," the official added. UMHA on July 28 claimed that the attack led by three terrorists at Dinanagar Police station in Gurdaspur was a desperate bid by Pakistan's intelligence agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to revive militancy in Punjab, reports Mumbai Mirror. Last week Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) and Chief Secretary were called for a meeting to apprise them of intelligence reports that ISI is making all possible efforts to regroup separatist forces within the state. "The Khalistan movement is all but over. Our reports suggested that ISI was making all possible efforts to cajole few remnant separatists but found no support. Their request for logistic support for their men was also not heard. Which is why we believe they sent three fidayeen," a senior MHA official said.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB), on July 28, briefed the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) on inputs related to the evolution of a quid pro quo agreement between pro-Khalistan and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) backed militant outfits forged in the Kashmir valley over the last decade, The Hindu reports on July 30. According to an IB official, the UMHA was briefed about the likeness of July 27, Gurdaspur (Punjab) Attack to the massacre of 35 Sikh families in Chatti Singhpora near Anantnag in March 2000, which saw a group of 20 militants wearing Army fatigues forcibly removing residents from their homes on the pretext of a checking exercise before spraying bullets on them. “Following the attack, the pro-Khalistan forces and members of the Jaish-e-Muhammad [JeM], LeT [Lashkar-e-Taiba], sat across the table to bury the hatchet and decided to work in tandem. Several such meetings to iron out differences occurred in the years 2005, 2010 and most recently on the heels of the Kathua [Jammu and Kashmir] attack,” said a source. The attack, according to sources in the IB, was part of a plot hatched jointly by the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) in association with the Kashmir Tanzeem of LeT and “seemed to have been four years in the making”.

A 32- page recruitment document in Urdu, titled, 'A Brief History of the Islamic State Caliphate (ISC), The Caliphate According to the Prophet', purported to have been written by Islamic State (IS) terrorists and obtained by the American Media Institute (AMI) through a Pakistani intermediary outlines a strategy to draw the US into an all-out war by attacking India, The Times of India reports on July 30. The document reviewed and first published by USA Today, also details a plot to attack US soldiers as they withdraw from Afghanistan and target American diplomats and Pakistani officials. "Accept the fact that this caliphate will survive and prosper until it takes over the entire world and beheads every last person that rebels against Allah," the document proclaims. "This is the bitter truth, swallow it." Coming on the heels of Pakistani terrorists stepping up attacks on India, the document warns that "preparations" are underway for an assault on India and predicts that such an attack will draw the US into the battle and provoke a confrontation with America. "Even if the US tries to attack with all its allies, which undoubtedly it will, the ummah (Muslims) will be united, resulting in the final battle," the document says. It was obtained by AMI, which said it has been authenticated by US intelligence officials. AMI also said it got the document "from a Pakistani citizen with connections inside the Pakistani Taliban".

Analysis of data from two GPS (Global Positioning System) sets recovered from the Punjab attackers has actually thrown up two routes that the terrorists were supposed to take to reach Dinanagar in Gurdaspur District of Punjab, The Times of India reports on July 30. While both originate from Pakistan, they indicate different points of entry into India through the Punjab border. Both the routes, however, merge a few kilometres before Dinanagar. Sources said the two GPS sets were fed with two different routes on July 21 at Sargodha near Faisalabad in Punjab Province of Pakistan. One of the GPS sets shows a route originating from Mastgarh in Pakistan's Gujrat near Jammu border and then crossing the Jammu-Punjab-Pakistan tri-junction to enter Pathankot after crossing a rivulet merging into Ravi river. It then moves southwards to Dinanagar. Another route shows Malowal in Pakistan's Gujrat as the starting point and then shows Dorangla, 170 kilometre south of Malowal, in India's Punjab. The next marked place is the same as the first GPS set. Going by this route, agencies believe that entry could have been made through Narowal in Pakistan. Here too the terrorists are suspected to have crossed a tributary of Ravi to enter India. Curiously, the two entry points mentioned in the two sets are 40 km apart. It is important to ascertain the gap exploited by the terrorists so that a pattern of infiltration is established and the gaps plugged accordingly. Agencies are now scanning call intercepts and satellite imagery to reach a conclusion on the route the three terrorists may have actually taken to reach Dinanagar.Gujrat Narowal

The Punjab Police are convinced that the three terrorists involved in the Dinanagar terror attack (July 27) aimed to attack families of Police personnel by storming the Civil Lines area in Gurdaspur, The Tribune reports on July 30. The coordinates of this area were fed in their Global Positioning System (GPS) devices as their final destination. Though the Central agencies claim the terrorists came from the Bamyal sector, Punjab Police officials say Fatto Chak-Mastgarh was their entry point. Fatto Chak is a Pakistani village and Mastgarh is an abandoned village in the Dorangla area of Gurdaspur District in India. The literature found from their possession related to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and other terror outfits. The terrorists had shaved their bodies neck down. “This is usually done by jihadis who launch fidyaeen [suicide] attacks fully knowing that they won’t return alive. It’s like a customary exercise before going for an event where death is sure,” sources said.

As per records with Confederation of Voluntary Associations (COVA) which is associated with UNHCR, 1806 Myanmar refugees were registered with COVA and on physical verification, only 1725 refugees are presently staying camps in Hyderabad and Cyberabad Police Commissionerate areas. Only 461 Myanmar refugees were issued UNHCR cards and the others are under process. Officials said that the refugees are living at 10 different locations. At Camp-I in Balapur there are 298, Camp-II Balapur (150), Camp- III Balapur, Pahadishareef (87), Royal Colony(160), Near Fatima Masjid, Balapur (258), Baba Nagar, Kanchanbagh (412) Barkas, Chandrayangutta (51), Shaheen Nagar, Pahadishreef (127), Shastripuram, Mailardevpally (29), Kishanbagh, Bahadurpura (153).

National Investigation Agency (NIA) sources said they have evidence that shows that the arrested Abu Talha Mohammad Fahim alias Pakhi, chief of a JMB (Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh) faction in Bangladesh, is the same Talha Sheikh accused of masterminding the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman (West Bengal) blast, The Times of India reports on August 1. NIA had earlier declared a INR 10,00,000 reward on him. "We are contacting Dhaka Metropolitan Police and we might even request for his extradition if possible," said an NIA officer in Delhi. Pakhi was arrested by Dhaka Metropolitan Police from near the Bangladesh capital on July 27 along with seven others when they were trying to contact Islamic State (IS) operatives. Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) sources in Bangladesh had earlier said they might either come to Kolkata or ask for the extradition of a few of those arrested so they can be tried for the crimes they committed in Bangladesh. Pakhi is the younger son of JMB's founder Maulana Saidur Rehman. Sources said terror operators like Pakhi keep sleeper cells running by providing everything from shelter to SIM cards for leaders and new recruits, who are either not acquainted with the place or have to remain underground. NIA and Bangladesh's RAB had exchanged lists of JMB operatives and Islamist militants believed to be hiding in the two countries about five months ago. NIA had handed over a list of 11 suspects of the Bardhaman blast. RAB, on the other hand, gave a list of 51 fugitive Bangladeshis, 10 of them said to be JMB activists and several members of Harkatul Jihad al Islami (HuJI), along with some gangsters.

Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs (Coastal Security) on July 31 expressed its "shock" over a special report prepared by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) which found that about 37 per cent of minor ports in the country are defenceless, reports NDTV. Further, a report of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs (Coastal Security), tabled on July 31 has said the IB report should serve as an "alarm bell" for the government, especially at those ports which are located along the coastline of Gujarat and Maharashtra. The report noted that there are 203 non-major or minor ports, of which 45 are non-operational and 75 have no security force whatsoever. A number of the non-operational ports, 49 of them non-major ports, however were being used as landing points and jetties by fishermen. "The committee takes a very serious note on the grave deficiencies highlighted in the security audit report of Intelligence Bureau (IB) and is of the view that this report of IB should act as an alarm bell for the government, particularly with reference to such ports in Gujarat and Maharashtra," read the Standing Committee report. The IB report had said that out of the 30 of the non-major ports in question were in Gujarat and Maharashtra alone, with the rest spread out across the other coastal regions in the country. The report also noted that there were "several shortcomings" in the security arrangements at these ports, like the absence of x-ray scanners and non-maintenance of records of incoming or outgoing communications among others. "The Ministry of Home Affairs should support states/UTs by providing any required technical and financial assistance as well as monitoring regularly the implementation of the recommendations given in the security audit report," the panel said. The IB has suggested that CCTV cameras, bomb disposal squads, x-ray scanners, watch towers and additional patrolling should be mounted in and around these areas for effective vigil.
