An unidentified leader of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) along with two Delhi-based sex workers, who were arrested from Guwahati in the Kamrup district on an unspecified date, were remanded to ten days of police custody by a local court, according to IANS. Additional Police Chief of Guwahati Rajen Singh, while describing the use of sex workers by the ULFA as baits to extort and abduct businessmen in the State, said, "This is the latest modus operandi of the ULFA - luring businessmen with the help of call girls and then extorting money from them." Singh added, "This is the first time we have come across such tactics by the ULFA for extorting money although they failed due to our timely intervention… Interrogations of the arrested trio have revealed plans being hatched by them to kidnap some businessmen from Guwahati for ransom.”

Daily News and Analysis reports that in a recent assessment report prepared by the State intelligence department, 57 non-government organizations (NGO) in the State capital Mumbai have been short-listed after being found to fund and help the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist). The organisations reportedly arrange for medical treatment for Maoists, often in nursing homes in cities. They also help the extremists secure “legal aid and support” from Mumbai’s lawyers, police said. Intelligence sources said the organisations are “sympathetic” to the Maoists and that most of them are small groups managed by people of alleged dubious credentials. Police chief P. S. Pasricha said, “We are keeping close tabs on the activities of functionaries belonging to a section of the NGOs. A couple of recent arrests and subsequent interrogation of office-bearers of these groups have made us more aware of the security threat they pose.”

India and Pakistan agreed on May 3 to launch the second bus link between two parts of divided Jammu and Kashmir next month and start a cross-Line of Control (LoC) truck service in July. The bus service between Poonch and Rawalakot in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) will be launched from June 19. This will be the second bus link across the LoC after the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad service launched on April 7, 2005. Initially, the Poonch-Rawalakot bus service will be operated on a fortnightly basis, a Joint Statement issued after the two-day official-level talks in New Delhi said. The procedures, documentation and modalities for the Poonch-Rawalakot bus service will be the same as for the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus service, it said. In the first half of July 2006, the truck service will be started on Srinagar-Muzaffarabad route, a move aimed at promoting trade relations between two parts of divided Jammu and Kashmir.

Inspector General of Police, K. Rajendra Kumar, informed in Srinagar on May 3 that the police is planning to launch a major legal battle against terrorists operating from across the border. "We plan to approach Interpol to issue red card notices against top militant leaders, including chairman of United Jehad Council and supermo of Hizbul Mujahideen Syed Salahuddin and Lashkar-e-Toiba chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed now in Pakistan," said Kumar. He also said the wanted leaders also included JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar and Al-Umar Mujahideen chief Mushtaq Ahmed Zargar. "The legal offensive against the militants has already been set in motion and once the process is completed we will approach Interpol to issue red corner notices against them," Kumar added. However, Rajendra Kumar said the process is very complex and time-consuming and "we are seeking support from the Union Home Ministry and other security agencies and police forces across the country." As a first step, he said the courts where cases are pending against the terrorists have to declare them as proclaimed offenders.

Talking to the media in Amsterdam on May 21, general secretary of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), Thuingaleng Muivah, threatened to take up arms again if the Union Government continues to undermine his outfit. Delhi, he said, should realise that “if its forces go on killing our cadre, betray their commitment to ceasefire and its ground rules, go on supporting the traitors against us, then the Nagas will be compelled to fight back…. Supporting others to undermine us is a treacherous policy. We will not hesitate to take up arms if forced by government of India’s policies.” On his outfit’s latest diplomatic forays abroad, Muivah claimed that India was being “unnecessarily critical”. “We sent our men to brief others of the progress in the peace talks with India and nothing else. We did not send them to ask for arms. Wherever they go they talk about the need for a solution through peaceful means. This is what our representatives did in London and in China,” said Muivah.

Addressing the second Round Table Conference in Srinagar, Dr. Singh said the welfare of Jammu and Kashmir is of "top most priority" of the Congress-led Union Government. He said it was the Government’s endeavour to put behind the tragic memories of the past while working to build a prosperous future for the State. The Prime Minister also said "there are some elements within the State who do not wish this dream to become a reality. Their inhumane acts have cost many lives, destroyed many families.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has reported the increasing flow of illicit drugs into India’s Northeast from neighbouring Myanmar. The UNODC, in association with the Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, released a report on May 24 highlighting the emerging trends of drug use in the region. The report added that at least seven major routes running through four States sharing border with Myanmar — Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh —have been identified through which drugs such as ‘Number 4’ (heroin) and amphetamine are easily smuggled. The districts that are worst affected by the drugs trafficking are Chandel and Imphal in Manipur, and Kohima and Tuensang in Nagaland. “There has been crackdowns on drug barons in Thailand and Laos recently, following which drug traders from Myanmar must have shifted their attention to North-East. Also there are possibilities of amphetamine producing units being shifted to areas adjacent to Manipur and Nagaland,’’ said an official of the Narcotics Control Bureau.

With Pakistan refusing to agree on authentication of present troop positions on the Siachen glacier, talks between India and Pakistan on demilitarisation in Siachen failed to yield any breakthrough in New Delhi on May 24, but the two countries decided to continue with the cease-fire there, according to Press Trust of India. Concluding the two-day Defence Secretary-level talks, both countries, however, issued a joint statement in which they agreed to continue the negotiations to resolve the issue in a peaceful manner. The two sides also reaffirmed their commitment to continue the truce in Siachen in place since November 2003. "In this round of discussions, we could not make a breakthrough," Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee said. He also said the Pakistani side "is not agreeing to the proposal for authentication of positions (held by the Indian and Pakistani forces) for quite some time and this is the area of difference which can continue..."

The Prime Minister also reportedly declared his Government’s readiness to talk to terrorist groups if they gave up the path of violence. "Anybody who shuns violence and gives up the path of terror, we are willing to find ways and means to interact with all such groups," he said. Dr. Singh also said the Government was ready to look into the issue of troop reduction in J&K if militancy comes "under control". Stating that troops are in the State "to protect the life and liberty of our citizens", he responded to a question on possibility of reduction of troops by saying that "if the basic cause for their presence is removed, we can consider all these options." On the issue of alleged human right violations by the security forces, he said "our armed force is not an armed force of occupation.... They have a proud record, though there could be some aberrations, but these aberrations cannot be allowed. There should be zero tolerance for human rights violations for all our security forces." Referring to the outcome of the Roundtable boycotted by separatists, the Prime Minister said "this conference gives me hope and confidence. I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. If all these gentlemen put together their wisdom, knowledge and experience, we will have a constructive outcome." All political parties and civil society representatives participated in the conclave, he pointed out.
