The Indian security establishment is keeping a close watch over Dawood Ibrahim’s plans to target New Delhi, Hindustan Times reports on June 2. The security agencies’ anxiety over D-company is based on an intelligence input that Ibrahim "Tiger" Memon, the main accused in the 1993 Mumbai (Maharashtra) serial blasts case had a meeting with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Pakistan's capital city of Islamabad around May 15, 2014, to discuss plans to engineer blasts and attack soft targets in Delhi. Memon is based in Karachi and is part of the D-company network in south Asia and the Middle-East. According to the input, Memon was tasked with diverting money to India through Delhi and not the usual Mumbai route for targeting the Capital. The intelligence lead has been shared at the highest levels with security agencies and efforts are on to monitor cross-border movement of money through the hawala (illegal money transaction) or underworld route. “We are trying to verify this terror input but, as of now, it still stands uncorroborated. This may turn out to be one of the many leads that lead to no result. But we are taking this threat seriously and are using technical aid to cross-check this meeting,” said a senior counter-terror official.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has condemned the recent arrest of suspended Delhi University Assistant Professor G.N. Saibaba and the other office-bearers of the Revolutionary Democratic Front (RDF) over alleged links with the Maoists, reports The Hindu on June 3. In an open letter, the Maoist spokesperson Abhay said the RDF firmly supported the ongoing “revolutionary movement”. “It is one of the hundreds of progressive and revolutionary organisations that denounced Operation Green Hunt - government’s military offensive against the Maoists - as a war against the masses. Therefore, governments at the Centre and in the States have started arresting RDF leaders on false charges. Saibaba is one among them,” he said. The Maoist spokesperson said the arrest was an indication of what was in the offing under the new dispensation at the Centre.

The Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) would be given greater financial and administrative powers to meet the necessary requirements, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) sources said on June 2, reports The New Indian Express. “They can send a quarterly report to the Centre about the essential purchases,” sources added.

A Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) hit squad was assigned to take hostages and lay siege on the Indian Consulate in Herat Province of Afghanistan, to coincide with the oath ceremony of Indian Prime MInister Narendra Modi, security sources in the Indian establishment have now concluded after studying the pattern of attack and taking stock of the recovery from the operatives killed, NDTV reports on June 4. This also confirms outgoing Afghan President Hamid Karzai's assertion that the LeT had was behind the Herat attack. Intelligence officials point out that the three attackers killed did not wear suicide vests, a Taliban trait. This, they say, further confirms them as highly-trained LeT operatives. Intelligence reports have warned the Indian Government of more possible attacks on Indian missions and assets since Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is uneasy with the large-scale Indian presence in Afghanistan post the US' withdrawal at the end of the year.

The Telegraph reports that Superintendent of Police (SP), Nityananda Goswami of Hamren Police Station in Karbi Anglong Hill District and his Personal Security Officer (PSO) Ratul Nunisa were killed in an ambush by suspected Karbi Peoples Liberation Tigers (KPLT) in the night of June 5 at Rongfu along the Assam-Meghalaya border in Karbi Anglong District. Their bodies were recovered in the morning of June 6. The SP and 18 others, including additional SP, Bedanta Borkakaty, and Hamren Police Station Officer-in-Charge, Kamal Bora, had gone to the area on a counter-insurgency operation when they came under heavy fire from a large number of militants. However, Additional Director-General of Police, A.P.

In a new anti-Naxalite [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)], strategy being readied by the Union Government, bureaucrats and Security personnel operating in Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-hit areas may get special monetary benefits, out-of-turn promotions and choice posting after the completion of their tenure in these "dangerous" places, reports The Times of India on June 7. Flagging Naxalite areas as the 'most dangerous zone' in the country, the government will enhance hardship allowance given to paramilitary personnel deployed in these places more than what they get while serving in Jammu & Kashmir and Northeastern region. During a review meeting on June 6 the Union Minister of Home Affairs Rajnath Singh, along with Minister of State for Home, Kiren Rijiju, were briefed about various aspects of left wing extremism and the steps being taken to control it. Singh also emphasized on completing the existing development projects in Naxalite-hit areas, including construction of 5,000km roads at a cost of INR 100 billion and setting up of 2,199 mobile phone towers at a cost of INR 30 billion. Singh promised to ensure regular flow of funds for all development projects. He asked the officials to review the policy under which forest lands are given to landless tribals so that 'pattas' can be given to genuine applicants after showing leniency.

The long drawn General Elections had a negative impact on anti-Naxal [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)] operations, reports The Times of India. With Security Forces being put to rigorous duty during elections, anti-Maoist operations have almost died down post-polls. While a large chunk of the forces fighting Naxals have gone on leave to recuperate from poll exertions, the searing heat in the plains this year has restricted movement of the existing battalions. The result is that a major chunk of operational time (between March and June) has been lost to poll duties and post-poll recuperation. July onwards rains will kick in and it would become very difficult to move in the jungles of Chhattisgarh with overflowing rivers, inundated tracks and heavy undergrowth. "We had to give our jawans (troopers) some breathing space after the relentless effort they put in during elections. All leaves had been cancelled at that time so jawans have been allowed to go home to meet their families. Only a refreshed and re-energized jawan can conduct successful operations. Operations are still on, but the intensity is down," Dilip Trivedi, Director General of Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF),stated.

The Sangai Express reports that Chungjalen Haokip (45), elder brother of Kuki National Liberation Front (KNLF) ‘general secretary’ Lalmoi alias Tonglenlal Haokip was shot and injured by some unidentified persons near his home at Tuibuong, Lamka town in Churachandpur District in the night of June 7. KNLF ‘information and publicity secretary’ Kolphe while strongly condemning the attack, alleged that Chungjalen was shot by United Kuki Liberation Front (UKLF) just because he happens to be an elder brother of KNLF’s 'general secretary'. Chungjalen is a civilian and he has no connection with the KNLF in any manner. He moved from Chandel to Tuibuong and settled after he was ousted from Chandel by UKLF a few years back, Kolphe said.

The Telegraph reports on June 8 that the Myanmar-based National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) led by S.S. Khaplang has sought Statehood for the Naga people in Myanmar. According to a source, the outfit has already submitted a proposal for statehood to the Union Government of Myanmar. A former senior functionary in the NSCN-K, Kughalu Mulatonu, said Khaplang had already submitted a Statehood proposal to the Myanmar government for the Naga people. “Khaplang has submitted a statehood proposal to the Myanmar government,” he said. Mulatonu had recently deserted the NSCN-K and joined the NSCN-Khole-Kitovi (NSCN-KK) along with a few cadres. The NSCN-K signed a bilateral ceasefire with the Myanmar Government in May 2012 and a peace process is under way. Naga people live in Sagaing division, but after signing of a ceasefire agreement, the Myanmar Government has granted the Nagas self-administrative autonomy. The Government there has assured rapid development in the Naga-inhabited areas in Myanmar. The rival outfits in Nagaland have said Khaplang, a Naga from Myanmar, is contemplating to resolve the Naga issue with Myanmar. There are now only a few hundred cadres of the NSCN-K in Nagaland. They have two designated camps, one at Suruhoto in Zunheboto District and the other at Mon District. Though the Indian Government had also signed a bilateral ceasefire with the outfit on April 28, 2011, talks have not started. But the Centre has ruled out talks with the NSCN-K till issues are resolved with the NSCN led by Isak Chishi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah (NSCN-IM).

On June 8, in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh Police arrested three people and neutralised a fake lottery racket operated from Pakistan, reports The Times of India. Later on June 9 a special judge remanded two of three accused to Police custody till June 12, 2014. Those remanded to Criminal Investigation Department (CID) custody were Vishnu Prajapati and Brijesh Patel. Third accused in the case was sent to judicial remand till June 23, 2014. Police said Interpol's help would be sought to arrest Pakistani nationals involved. CID officials found Prajapati and Patel were given instructions by two Pakistani handlers, Javed and Ishaq, and were in touch with them through e-mail and on phone. The duo would approach the Indian conduits like Prajapati and Patel and convince them to open saving accounts in banks, offering them commission. Later, the Pakistani handlers would call up people across the state introducing them as lottery-draw team members. Investigations revealed the accused had made a transaction of more than INR 1,0,000,000 after duping several people in six months. Police are probing if Pakistani SIMs were being used in India, said an officer. Agency is also looking to take action against telecom companies as the accused were found to be using multiple SIM cards on forged documents. Officers of the national bank are also under scanner. Once money was deposited in the account, accused immediately withdrew it and handed it over to hawala (illegal money transaction) operators who would pass it to Pakistani handlers via Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Indian agents get two to three per cent commission, while the rest went to Pakistan.

Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) leader Haider Ali alias Black Beauty, who masterminded Bodh Gaya blasts of 2013, was also allegedly planning to bomb a special train from Delhi to Gaya carrying pilgrims as well as some other Buddhist sites, The Times of India reports on June 9. Ali has allegedly told his interrogators that the attacks were meant to avenge atrocities against Muslims in Myanmar. Haider told his interrogators he was "dissatisfied" with the execution of the Bodh Gaya blasts as "there was no casualty". According to his interrogation report, Haider told Intelligence Bureau and National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials, "After the anti-Muslim [violence] in Burma (Myanmar) in mid-2012, I told Imtiaz and others that the Buddhists had killed many Rohingya Muslims. I downloaded and showed them videos of Muslims being slaughtered, children being smothered and Muslim women being raped by the local Buddhists. I suggested that as Bodh Gaya was the holiest Buddhist shrine in India, it would be appropriate if such an action (blast) is carried out there as it would send a befitting message to the world." His interrogation report also reveals that he had gone to Nepal and also planned to visit Afghanistan. "His agenda was to locate the Pakistani embassy and go to Afghanistan for a 'hijrat' via Pakistan," said a source. Haider said it was Uzair Ahmad who introduced him to SIMI but it was Manzar Imam who motivated him to become a SIMI member. "After first meeting with Manzar Imam in a SIMI programme at Chittarpur (Jharkhand) in 2007, I was very much influenced by him. Once I visited his house to meet him and collect some religious books," Haider told interrogators. Before his arrest, he was reportedly leading a sizeable number of members of SIMI.

The Indian Mujahideen (IM) plans to set up an extortion cell in the Middle East to generate funds for its terror activities and kidnap rich Indian businessmen to make quick money, according to Indian security agencies, dnaindia.com reports on June 9. IM operatives even plan to resort to robbery, looting and dacoity to address the cash crunch. Investigations by Indian security agencies have revealed that IM operative Mirza Shadab Baig has planned to set up an extortion cell in Dubai called 'Maal-e-Ghanimat' (system for collection of funds from people) for jihad (religious or holy war). "Earlier, the IM was against the use of such kind of money for terror operations. However, with funds from Pakistan drying up, it has no option but to resort to such things," said a senior intelligence officer. In his statement to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), arrested IM operative Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi said he was in talks with Baig to identify a hawala (illegal money transaction) operator in Dubai and Middle East so that the money generated from extortion could be routed to India. Baig has been made in charge of the project to set up the extortion cell in Dubai and the point-person to collect the money. Sources said Baig and his associates have procured a few Dubai SIM cards which will be used for making extortion calls. "Of the total extortion money collected by IM, 50 per cent will be used for terror activities and the remaining will be set aside to be given to the al Qaeda," said another senior officer. "IM leaders are in talks with senior Qaeda and Taliban leaders because they want to sever ties with ISI." The NIA which was investigating the October 2013 Patna bomb blasts stumbled upon another source of money generation for the IM's terror activities. "Robberies and bank dacoities were being carried out to generate funds," a Police officer said.

Chief Minister (CM) of Meghalaya Mukul Sangma on June 11 stated that Maoist organisations across the country have access to sophisticated weapons which have emerged from the North Eastern region, reports The Shillong Times. He noted “Even in the Maoist organization whether in Jharkhand or Chattisgarh, access to sophisticated weapons is easy because of its availability in the region.”He also added that arms were emerging from countries such as Bangladesh, Myanmar and China. Sangma further stated that Government of Meghalaya would re-look into the proposed peace talks with Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA). He said that Government would have to re-evaluate this issue because GNLA has continued to indulge in criminal activities and killing of innocent people. He also added that the militancy has impacted the growth and development of the State. Mukul Sangma also indicated that the threat of GNLA to the Congress workers in Garo Hills led to the defeat of the party candidate from the Tura seat in West Garo Hills District in the recent Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) poll. He stated that “During the election, the GNLA was threatening the Congress workers which itself had so much of ramifications in the election result”.

Environment Ministry has now given its go-ahead to install a radar station at Narcondam in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, The Times of India reports on June 12. The project was pending for long despite repeated requests from the defence establishment which wanted to install the radar at the strategic location in view of suspected Chinese presence and "listening post" on nearby Coco Island. Though Coco Island in the Bay of Bengal belongs to Myanmar, China is learnt to have set up extensive infrastructure there. Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar noted that the radar project was of strategic important to India. "Only 8-10 people will be employed at the station. It will not in any way affect the natural environment there," the minister said, wondering why such an important project was kept pending for so long under the previous government.

Five warnings from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the U.S. helped authorities defeat the May 23 strike on the Indian Consulate in Herat Province of Afghanistan, according to intelligence sources, The Hindu reports on June 12. The last operational input from the CIA was delivered to India’s intelligence services two hours after the assault began at 3.15 a.m. Kabul time, the sources said, and identified the assault team as operatives of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Indian diplomatic sources said the CIA’s warnings on the attack began to flow in six weeks before the attacks, and led Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) guards at the Consulate to be placed on high alert. The guards were able to shoot dead a terrorist who attempted to scale the mission’s perimeter defences, while others were killed by the Afghan security forces nearby.

On June 11 Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi reviewed law and order with Deputy Commissioners and Superintendents of Police of all ranges, reports The Telegraph. Issues ranging from National Register of Citizens (NRC) update, Maoism, extortion, communal and ethnic tensions and law and order were discussed at length. The Tinsukia administration said that most of the extortion calls has been traced back to Myanmar and the Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I) and the Maoists. Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) officials conveyed concern over the delay in getting Army help during emergencies. Assam Tribune report that force availability in Assam at present is more than the forces deployed in the State during the last Lok Sabha polls and there is no chance of withdrawal of forces in the near future. The State had around 160 companies of Central forces during the last Lok Sabha polls. But immediately after the killing of more than 40 people in Kokrajhar and Baksa Districts in May, the force strength was increased to 181 companies and now the State has around 190 companies of forces including five additional companies of the elite Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBra) of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).

Terrorists backed by the Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) were planning to target port and central railway station as well as airports in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) and Bangalore (Karnataka), as per revelations by ISI agent Mohammed Sakir Husain arrested at Chennai in April 2014, Economic Times reports on June 12. Hussain has revealed that all planning, tasking and financing was being done personally by Pakistani High Commission (in Colombo) Counselor Amir Zubair Siddiq (code named Mama @ Ravi) and his senior 'Shah'. Husain was occasionally also briefed by Pakistani Defence Adviser (in Colombo) Colonel Shahryar during such meetings. The Colombo Pakistan Consulate officials used over a dozen different (Sri Lankan, Malaysian, Maldivian) telephone numbers to remain in touch with Hussain. Husain was tasked to "develop reliable contacts working in Vishakhapatnam and Cochin Naval bases, Chennai Port, Atomic power plant in Tamil Nadu" as per the IR. He was further tasked in June 2013 to clandestinely obtain photographs of US Consulate in Chennai, Shipping yard of Chennai port, Chennai airport, Chennai Railway Station, Israel consulate in Bangalore, Electronic City in Bangalore, the Bangalore Airport. Security agency sources have told that Husain @ John's mission was reminiscent of the David Headley recees in India before the devastating 2008 Mumbai attacks. Siddiq even told Husain to steal the laptops of senior officials of the Indian High Commission in Colombo and obtain web-data / emails through local contacts working there in July 2013. Husain was also tasked to provide details of Israelis residing in Colombo, according to IR. Husain, who was already indulged in human trafficking, also provided details to Siddiq of potential Indian nationals in Chennai and Trivandrum (Kerala) who could be tapped for facilitating "blasts" in India. During August 2013, Hussain received another SL Rs 1,00,000 from Siddiq for visiting Chennai to cultivate suitable assets for espionage and sabotage in naval bases at Cochin, Vizag and Chennai. Emboldened by the results, Siqqiq further tasked Hussain to cultivate an Indian navy officer in southern India and lure him to Colombo on tourism. The larger plan entailed even attacking the US Consulate in Chennai, by sending two Pakistani origin terrorists via boat to Tamil Nadu from Sri Lanka. Code names allocated were 'marriage hall' (for US Consulate), 'Cooks' (terrorists), 'masala Items' (explosives) and 'food preparation' (blast). He was paid SL Rs. 25,000 for taking photographs of US Consulate in Chennai. The photographs were forwarded vide his email address
[email protected]
to Siqqiq on latter's email id
[email protected]
. Timing of the bomb blasts was to create instability to coincide with the new BJP-led government assuming power at Delhi. Husain disclosed that Siddiq used him to regularly arrange fake SL passports for Pakistanis. In one particular case, the Pakistani operatives were to travel from Colombo to Male on Pakistani passports and subsequently from Male to Bangalore via Trivandrum by flights on fake Sri Lankan passports. This plan was approved on 20th March 2014 in the presence of two other senior Pak officials from Islamabad who met Husain discreetly at a Hotel in Negambo outside Colombo. Apart from this, weapons smuggling was being done regularly by the Pak High Commission in Colombo through its Counsellor Siddiq, with help of Husain. He received SL Rs 1.75 lakhs for clearing one particular consignment of AKs from Colombo port. Ishrat Kahan (Pak national handling Bangkok-Colombo-Male operations of the ISI) and Arshad (working at Pak High Commission in Colombo) were the other two cut-out contacts of Hussain for these tasks.

The intelligence bureau (IB) warned Delhi Police about a possible terror strike at north Delhi’s busy Chandni Chowk market in the run-up to Independence Day (August 15), reports Hindustan Times on June 13. Previous IB-generated terror forewarnings either mentioned south Delhi markets such as Greater Kailash M-block and Connaught Place, where multiple bombings have occurred in the past as possible targets, or were general advisories asking the Police to step-up security across popular market places in the Capital. This time, however, the input is unambiguous and, according to sources in the IB, goes to the extent of stating that ‘militant Islamist cadre’ were chalking out a plan to ‘replicate’ attacks like the multiple bombings of February 2013 at Dilsukhnagar in Hyderabad, in addition to a similar attack at Mumbai’s Zaveri Bazaar during serial blasts by the Indian Mujahideen (IM) in 2011. What is worrying about the possible attack is the fact that Chandni Chowk won’t be one of the targets but the sole target this time around,” said an unknown IB official. He added that the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) was the number one suspect.

Three alleged terrorists were finally arrested by Gujarat's Anti-Terrorist Squad on June 11 after they were summoned by local court from a Maharashtra jail where they had spent eight years, reports The Times of India. The ATS arrested them after their production was recorded by the court. They are likely to be produced before the court on June 12 (today) and probe agency might seek their remand. The metropolitan court No 11 issued warrants against Mustafa Sayyed, Bilal Ahmed and Afroz Khan last week in connection with a terror conspiracy of 2006. The case in which the three accused were wanted was lodged on September 19, 2006. However, before this offence was lodged, Ahmed was arrested on May 17, 2006 and Khan was nabbed on June 13, 2006 by Maharashtra Police. Interestingly, they were shown absconders for eight years. In the meanwhile, they were lodged in Maharashtra jail under the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act, said their lawyer Dilshad Pathan. When they came to know that a case was lodged against them in Ahmedabad, they approached the court and sought anticipatory bail application. It was rejected on the ground that they were booked under the Unlawful Activity (Prevention) Act.

Al Qaeda on June 13 released a new video in Urdu calling on Muslims in the Kashmir region to follow in the footsteps of their "brothers" in Iraq and Syria and launch a jihad (holy war)) against Indian authorities, reports India Today. The video titled 'The war should continue: A message for Kashmir's Muslims' contains statements by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) 'commander' Maulana Asim Umar. The video features montages of demonstrations in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), and the silhouette of an armed man juxtaposed against the famous Dal Lake. Umar urges Muslims in both India and Pakistan to join the global jihadi movement to re-establish an Islamic caliphate. "Muslims the world over have picked up arms and are marching in the field of jihad. Even those who were opposed to jihad now view democracy with despondency and have chosen the path of fighting," Umar says in the video. TTP leader also stressed that several jihadists from Afghanistan are on their way to Kashmir. "From the land of Afghanistan, a caravan is heading towards India. Not on the basis of someone's directive. Not on the basis of some governmental policy. But simply on the basis of abiding by God's command," he added. Umar also claimed that through jihad, Muslims will be able to take over Delhi and will host the 'flag of Islam'.

On June 13, Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate in Mumbai (Maharashtra) granted the Mumbai Police permission to collect the DNA samples of Dawood Ibrahim's aide Muzzakir Muddassar alias Munna Jhingada's family members, reports The Times of India. However, the court also said that the Police cannot use blood samples of Jhingada's family members as evidence in the case of deporting him from Thailand. Police said that the order will help them prove that Jhingada is Indian national and very much a criminal from Mumbai who fled away in 2000. Earlier, in 2012, the Thai authorities assured India to hand Jhingada but Pakistan authorities too had claimed his custody saying Jhingada was a Pakistani National. He was arrested by the Thai Police on charges of attempt to kill fugitive gangster Chhota Rajan in 2000. Jhingada, with associates Rashid Malbari and Gurpeet Singh Bullar, was arrested and he was sent to jail for eight years. Jhingada has completed his sentence in Thai jail but due to legal fight over his nationality he is still waiting in Thai jail.

On June 14, the Ahmedabad (Gujarat) Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) filed the charge sheet against Maulana Abdul Qavi in connection with the 2003 Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Conspiracy case, implicating him under various sections of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) and Arms Act, among others, before a special POTA court, according to Indian Express. Qavi has also been booked for conspiring “war against the government”. Earlier on June 12, the home department gave its sanction to file the charge sheet against Kavi under POTA. The case dates back to 2003, but the judgment was pronounced in 2010. The POTA court has proclaimed Qavi as an offender, along with other proclaimed offenders, such as Dawood Ibrahim, Chhota Shakeel, Mufti Sufiyan Ahmedmiya Patangiya and 20 others, who are still absconding. The chargesheet claims that Kavi was in touch with Sufiyan and another gangster, Rasool Party, who are also accused of masterminding the killing of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Haren Pandya in 2003. According to DCB officials, Rasool had met Qavi in Hyderabad. There were a total of 44 accused who were tried by the POTA court. Out of them, 22 were convicted. The DCB claimed that a conspiracy was hatched by the accused to carry out terror activities in the state under the “leadership, guidance, inducement, inspiration and financial aid of a rich person, whose name has not been known, and by using the network of Dawood Ibrahim’s gang in Pakistan and the ISI, with a view to take revenge of the loss caused to Muslims during the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat. For this purpose, youth from Gujarat and Hyderabad were sent to Pakistan via Bangladesh and Nepal, it said. They were reportedly trained in handling weapons, making bombs, among others, in 2002. In 2003, the conspiracy was busted by the DCB.

Intelligence inputs and details provided by arrested Patna (Bihar) blasts (October 23, 2013) accused Hyder Ali revealed that there is an aggressive regrouping and resurgence of Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) across the country, The Times of India reports on June 17. And the man behind this resurgence is Abdus Subhan Qureshi alias Tauqeer who is re-energizing and motivating the cadres. In fact, the emergence of the Hyder Ali-led module and blasts in Bodh Gaya(July 7, 2013) and Patna last year were all results of this effort. "Tauqeer is on the prowl. He is learnt to be roaming across the country and is suspected to have raised modules in Jharkhand, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and even Kerala. He has never fired a bullet or exploded a bomb but is the strongest ideological force the outfit has seen in a long time," said an officer from the security establishment. Authorities have been looking for Tauqueer since mid-2000 but have not come even close to arresting him despite most blasts since then having found some ideological connection to him.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas, was trained in Pakistani camps run by the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), investigations are learnt to have revealed, Indian Express reports on June 18. Investigations and the questioning of Waqas now revealed that he was trained by TTP before being sent to India, where he was expected to pass off as Indian on account of his family’s pre-Partition roots in Phagwara of Kapurthala District in Punjab.

Earlier Delhi Police had stated Waqas was trained in terrorist activities “at a training camp situated in the Waziristan Federally Administered Tribal Area”, and had learnt to prepare Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) “based upon Hydrogen Peroxide (liquid form), Potassium Chloride and Ammonium Nitrate”.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is investigating nine cases of Naxal [Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)] activities in various States, is now on the radar of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The Hindu on June 19 citing government documents.

On June 20, Border Security Force's (BSF’s) Special Director General (DG) BD Sharma stated that the Northeast insurgent groups including Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) and National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) have around 45 hideouts in Bangladesh, reports The Assam Tribune. He commented, “Our relation with BGB [Border Guards Bangladesh] is good and they are highly cooperative. Even, today (June 20) morning I spoke to DG of BGB, Major General Aziz Ahmed over phone. Despite this, as many as 45 militant camps of North East-based militant organisation still exist in Bangla soil". Sharma at Salbagan, BSF Tripura Frontier headquarters said the insurgents could not be fully wiped out from Bangladesh soil because deployment of BGB was thin compared to requirement. “They are now raising new forces and we hope that the situation would improve soon. Besides, the terrain and riverine border also come in the way of maintaining effective border vigil”, he pointed out. Of the total 45 militant camps, militants from Tripura have 21 hideouts, mostly belonging to two banned outfits – All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) and NLFT. Also, after Indian border guards started using non–lethal weapons, the number of people killed along the border has come down from 100 to 12 in a year, said BD Sharma, adds The Sentinel. The BSF has also proposed setting up 64 “border haats” (markets) along the border to further improve relations between India and Bangladesh. Of the 60 border haats, 22 were proposed in Meghalaya, 32 in West Bengal, four in Tripura and two in Assam. Sharma added, out of about 4,000 kilometer border with Bangladesh, barbed wire fencing would be erected in 3,314 kilometer, of which 2,418 kilometer has already been fenced and works are in progress in 342 kilometer. “So, about 70 per cent of the border is now fenced”, he said. Sharma said that 3,061 km of the Indo-Bangla border would be illuminated by flood lighting to check smuggling and border crimes. Of this, 1732 km have already been illuminated. It is 57 per cent of the total works, he further said.

On June 20, National Investigation Agency (NIA) cautioned the respective Police of Delhi and Maharashtra about suspected terror attacks, reports Indian Today. NIA has written to Maharashtra Police and Delhi Police warning them to be vigilant and take ample precautions to prevent terror attacks in Delhi and Maharashtra cities, including Mumbai. According to the NIA letter, some Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists led by key operative Haider Ali alias Black Beauty had earlier surveyed various places in Maharashtra and Delhi to identify their possible targets. Delhi Police sources said that Lotus Temple, Qutub Minar and Swami Vivekanand Inter State Bus Terminus in Anand Vihar were among the spots where the IM terrorists did a reconnaissance in April, 2014. Meanwhile, sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said that the headquarters of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi was also on terror radar. The Delhi Police has been on high alert after receiving the NIA letter. Meanwhile, NIA has found scientific evidence indicating former Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) militant Liaqat Shah was allegedly framed in a terror case by Delhi Police’s Anti-Terror Squad, Hindustan Times reports on June 21. The Special Cell had claimed that an associate of Shah had stored the arms and ammunition in the guesthouse at his request. The NIA is now finalising its charge sheet in the case, which may clear Liaqat Shah. He was arrested on March 20, 2013 at Indo-Nepal border. He arrived there from Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). “Investigators found that a person named Sabir Khan Pathan alias Munna allegedly planted arms and ammunition in the Jama Masjid area guesthouse. Pathan has been living in the Special Cell barracks for eight years and was allegedly working as an informer for the Cell. The NIA sleuths lifted DNA samples from the guesthouse room and, according to a lab report, they matched DNA samples from family members of Pathan, who is now untraceable,” said a home ministry official.

Intelligence inputs and details provided by arrested Patna blasts accused Hyder Ali, who was arrested on May 21, 2014 have revealed that there is an aggressive regrouping and resurgence of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) happening across the country, reported The Times of India on June 22. The man behind this resurgence is Abdus Subhan Qureshi alias Tauqeer who is learnt to be roaming the length and breadth of the country to re-energize and motivate cadres.

Sources within the security establishment say there is information that various such modules have come up in East, Central and South India even as evidence of intermittent training sessions for new recruits and coming together of old cadres is being reported from various regions. "Tauqeer is on the prowl. He is learnt to be roaming across the country and is suspected to have raised modules in Jharkhand, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and even Kerala. He has never fired a bullet or exploded a bomb but is the strongest ideological force the outfit has seen in a long time," said an officer from the security establishment.

Further, the Breakaway faction of Achik national Volunteer’s Council (ANVC-B), on June 24, blamed Chief Minister Mukul Sangma for the deteriorating law and order situation in Garo Hills and sought for the Centre’s intervention to deal with the situation, reports The Shillong Times. “If the situation in Garo Hills is deteriorating, blame it on Mukul Sangma who delayed the settlement process by not responding to the Central Government in time. And till date Mukul has not finalized camps for ANVC-B cadres in spite of the Centre’s reminder to the State to do so. Mukul has delayed everything intentionally to wipe out ANVC-B before the settlement which has led to rise of splinter groups,” the outfit said in a statement. According to ANVC-B, the outfit does not have any money to provide food, clothes and medicines to its cadres. “If there is no money, how will it be possible for us to buy weapons? We need food and medicines for our cadres, not guns and bullets. Government is all out to frame us in all cases,” the ANVC-B added.

The Shillong Times reports that even as the State Government is contemplating to declare certain pockets in militancy-infested Garo Hills as ‘disturbed area’, Meghalaya Director General of Police (DGP) PJP Hanaman feels that such a move is uncalled for at this juncture. Addressing pressmen on June 25, the DGP said that declaring Garo Hills as disturbed area would mean bringing the Army into the region “which is not desirable”. Hanaman, however, admitted that the State was short on forces. Hanaman said that the recent National Green Tribunal (NGT) ban on coal mining has also affected the militants in some way or the other. Expressing satisfaction at the performance of Meghalaya Police in tackling militancy, Hanaman said that it is quite possible that the outfits which are under peace settlement are selling their arms to other militant organizations for their survival. He said that the State based militants usually get arms and ammunition from Bangladesh, Myanmar and States like Nagaland. When asked about Police personnel with alleged links with militants, Hanaman said that there are “some bad apples in the force” and police have dismissed them besides keeping them out of circulation by booking them under the Meghalaya Prevention Detention Act (MPDA). On the recent kidnapping and rescue of a State Bank of India (SBI) branch manager, the DGP said that Police have so far identified three people who were involved in the incident but refused to divulge any further details about their links with militant outfits.

At least four passengers were killed and eight injured as twelve coaches of New Delhi-Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express derailed near Golden Ganj station in Chapra in East Champaran District on June 25, reports Zee News. Railway suspected "sabotage" by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) behind the derailment as there was a blast on the track. "Prima facie, it appears to be a case of sabotage. There was a blast on the track, which could have caused the derailment," Railway Board Chairman Arunendra Kumar told PTI. "Another goods train, 60 kms away from the station, also got derailed due to a blast. 18 wagons got derailed in the accident," Kumar said. The Maoists have given bandh (general shut down) call to protest security forces' "strong armed" action against "innocent people" in the area on suspicion of being Maoists’ sympathiser. Meanwhile, a live bomb fitted with a timer device has been found near tracks, which has given credence to reports of Maoists having a role in the incident.

Even as the Indian Railways suspected the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) sabotage behind the derailment of 12 coaches of New Delhi-Dibrugarh Rajdhani near the Golden Ganj Railway Station in Saran District of Bihar on June 25, the State Government ruled out any extremist link with the derailment, The Times of India reports on June 26. "Prima facie the incident appears to be a result of 'error' on the part of railways," Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said, questioning why a pilot engine was not run ahead of Rajdhani Express as per the standard practice. State Director General of Police (DG) PK Thakur said it was not a case of sabotage by the Maoists. "The track appeared defective and weakened," he said. The DG admitted the Maoist had given a call for bandh (shut down strike) on June 25 in protest against alleged Police excesses. "But had there been a blast, the investigating teams would have found traces of IED or other explosives. The Police did not even find signs of fishplate removal," he added.

India has stressed that it will not "endorse" treating the Afghan government on par with elements of the Taliban, even as it reiterated that terrorism and not ethnicity is the greatest threat to peace in an Afghanistan on the verge of a historic transition, Zee News reports on June 27. "Treating the Government of Afghanistan on par with elements of the erstwhile Taliban regime is something we will never endorse," Ambassador Bhagwant Singh Bishnoi, the acting Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations, said at a Security Council debate on the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in New York. Bishnoi added that India believes the reconciliation process must remain "Afghan-led, Afghan-owned and Afghan-controlled" while respecting the "agreed red lines". He also noted that the entire Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) member states had recently endorsed the "Afghan-controlled" process of reconciliation. He said the May 23, 2014 terror attack on the Indian Consulate in Herat is a "grim reminder that terrorism, not ethnicity or tribal differences, is the greatest threat to peace and stability in Afghanistan and the chances of the Afghan people attaining a path of self-sustained economic growth and prosperity". "The whole-hearted support by the international community to developing a prosperous, independent and sovereign Afghanistan capable of defending itself is the only way to defeat this scourge," Bishnoi said.

The Sentinel reports on June 28 that the State Government has, through a notification, extended the tenure of the Garo Hills District Autonomous Council (GHADC) by six months to facilitate the peace pact with the Achik National Volunteer Council (ANVC). This was done to accommodate the demands of the ANVC to enhance the council strength from 30 to 45, besides devolution of powers to the existing council and to make grass–roots governance more plausible. A Government official stated that the Government–ANVC agreement had been formalized by the concerned Union Ministries and the Union Cabinet needed to endorse the agreements before pronouncing the formal pact, which will not happen soon due to activities of the Breakaway faction of ANVC (ANVC-B) on several opinions. ANVC ‘spokesman’ Arist Sangma stated that the ANVC leadership is now adopting a policy of ‘wait and watch’ after all the assurances made by Union and State officials.

The Union Government started informal talks with insurgent groups in the northeast to find a lasting solution to the militancy in the region, reports The Times of India on June 30. Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju stated, "I have full charge of the NE division and have been informally meeting representatives of some of these outfits. I have conveyed to them: 'See, here is your man in Delhi, and this is your best chance to come on board and shun violence'. I hope these groups, as they have indicated so far, are serious about bringing peace to the region and work together for the development of the long-neglected NE states. I have asked officials in my ministry to initiate formal dialogue. We have some differences with United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) and hopefully that will be sorted out in due course… The Government this time will ensure that the interlocutors who hold talks with militant groups have more mandate than just one-on-one discussions. This would mean that the interlocutors could have talks simultaneously with all stakeholders to reach a comprehensive solution. In case the negotiations fail, the government would clamp down on their front organizations and stymie their finances."

The UN has expressed concern over the killing and maiming of children who continue to be recruited and used as human shields by Naxals [Left-Wing Extremists (LWEs)] in India and over the threat of sexual violence against girls within Naxal ranks, reports Out Look. The Annual Report of the UN Secretary-General on Children and Armed Conflict, released on July 1, said the recruitment and use of children, as young as six-years-old, by Naxals, continued in 2013. While no disaggregated data on the number of children associated with armed groups in India was available with the UN, it said independent estimates indicate at least 2,500 children are associated with armed groups in Naxal-affected areas. It cited data from the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs and said boys and girls aged six to 12 years were recruited into specific children’s units, known as Bal Dasta and Bal Sangham, in Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Odisha. The report said children also continued to be placed in front of combat units as human shields. "Taking into account the use of children as human shields by the Naxalites, the United Nations is concerned about the killing and maiming of children in hostilities," it said. Noting that Naxal recruitment affects girls and women, the report said the presence of girls within Naxal ranks.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) could stop giving large funds to Bihar Government under various schemes for security and development in areas affected by Naxalism-[Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)] if the State Government does not effectively toe a uniform national policy against the Naxals, reports The Economic Times on July 1. All States will have to follow a uniform approach against the Naxals or risk losing funding from the Centre for the cause, an unnamed senior UMHA official said. "Bihar Government under Nitish Kumar also did not follow a uniform policy spelt out by the Centre. He further said, "The funds will depend on the results and strict monitoring of the funds to states will be done."
