A senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader, identified as Sushil Ganju, self-styled ‘zonal commander’ involved in a deadly attack on Security Forces (SFs) in 2013, has been allegedly arrested by Jharkhand Police along with a woman companion in Gumla on November 1 but Police have denied arresting him, prompting the Maoists to call a state-wide shutdown on November 3 unless the authorities quickly produce him in public, reports The Hindustan Times. Sushil Ganju is said to have led the Karmatiya massacre in Latehar District in which 14 security personnel were killed. The government had announced a reward of INR 3 lakhs for his capture. Deenbandhu, the ‘secretary’ of the CPI-Maoists’ Koyal Sankh Zone said he feared the Police could kill the arrested leader in a staged shootout.

On November 1, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed a chargesheet against Hizb-ul-Mujahideen's (HM) 'chief of operations' in Kashmir valley, Muzaffar Ahmad Dar and claimed that he was able to engineer terror attacks in the Kashmir valley and collect funds while being in jail, reports The Times of India. The chargesheet was filed in connection with a case of terror funding in which NIA has alleged that HM was funding its activities through cross-border trade and Non-Government Oraganisations (NGOs) which collected funds in the name of welfare of Kashmiri people.Describing Dar as a terrorist trained in Pakistan and Afghanistan who remained active in the Valley since the late 1990s before he was arrested in 2009, the chargesheet said, "Muzaffar Ahmad Dar continued his terrorist and other unlawful activities from inside Central Jail Srinagar, where he was lodged."The chargesheet described Dar as "a terrorist trained in Pakistan and Afghanistan, who had illegally crossed over the Indian borders twice in 1990 and 1994, infiltrated into India in 1992 and 1999 after obtaining training in Pakistan/PoK and remained active in furthering terrorist activities of Jammu & Kashmir in different capacities in the hierarchy of the said proscribed terrorist organization and was first arrested in 2009." The chargesheet further said HM's modus operandi was to "under-invoice the goods sent from across [Pakistan occupied Kashmir] PoK/Pakistan. Indian counterparts send equivalent goods as per barter system and the extra money generated in this exchange is collected by HM from the traders in India".These funds are then received by HM cadres known as "relief takers". NIA has claimed to have evidence which establishes that "around 263 individuals based in PoK who are assigned the work of relief takers in Pakistan/PoK" are active terrorists of HM. These relief takers had obtained INR 20.9 million from Jammu & Kashmir Affectees Relief Trust (JKART), an overground NGO working as a front for HM to fund terror, for further distribution among 673 beneficiaries. JKART also received funds from another trust 'Relief Organization for Kashmiri Muslims (ROKM)' founded for rehabilitation of migrant Kashmiri Muslims in Pakistan and PoK, it said, adding JKART and ROKM were primarily funded by Pakistan government and its agencies.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has warned journalists working in Chhattisgarh against helping the Police in carrying out surrender of Maoist cadres, reports The Hindu on November 2. “We appeal to the journalist brothers to condemn the fake surrenders and stop encouraging those who have deceived the people’s movement. The journalists who support the surrendered Maoists will be termed as ‘anti-people’ by the party,” said Ganesh Uike, ‘secretary’ of the South Regional Committee (SRC) of the CPI-Maoist, in a press statement. The Maoist leader criticised senior journalist and president of Bastar press club Karrimuddin for giving “financial assistance” to a surrendered Maoist cadre a few days ago. “Karrimuddin is a senior journalist. It does not behove him to encourage those (surrendered Maoists) who have deceived the people’s movement. He should not repeat this,” said the Maoist leader.The SRC secretary termed the spate of Maoist surrenders in Bastar in the past few months as “fake and engineered”. “The new surrender policy is acting as a tool for corrupt police and paramilitary officers to loot money. The police and administration is misleading the media about surrenders. Common people and activists working in Bastar are threatened with arrest and are asked to pose as surrendered Maoists. In many cases, former Maoists, who quit the party many years ago, are being re-arrested,” claimed Ganesh Uike, whose name has figured in almost all the major incidents of violence against police in the last five to 10 years.Uike alleged that in the past few months Bastar police and paramilitary forces had killed many civilians and branded them as Maoists. “Three women members of the PLGA were caught and tortured before being killed. Bastar Inspector General of Police (IGP) S.R.P. Kalluri is misleading the media. The journalists should not believe the police version on surrenders and encounters. We appeal our journalist brothers to come to the spot and verify facts before writing,” added the press statement.The Maoists party secretary also appealed the journalists to stop “defaming” the CPI (Maoist) for “red terror”. “We are not terrorists, but we are patriots and we are fighting for the people. We are standing against many multinational companies, preventing them from snatching land from tribal people. The media should support us rather than supporting the ‘exploiter’ government,” said the Maoist leader calling for “Dandakaranya bandh” on November 8 against the Narendra Modi government’s “Brahmnic and fascist policies”.Karrimuddin has denied the allegations and said that he was just giving reward money to a surrendered Maoist at a ceremony.

After investigating the October 2, Bardhaman blast case, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has unearthed several calls to Tamil Nadu, Mumbai (Maharashtra) and Jammu and Kashmir, and the investigators have zeroed in on Wadala West, a slum in Mumbai from where numerous calls were made to and from Bardhaman, Birbhum, Murshidabad and other parts of the country, The Times of India reports on November 4. "The calls have been made from an area that is between Wadala and Kingscircle railway station and this area is mainly dominated by Bengalis from Bangladesh. There is a possibility that the people who have fled from West Bengal might have taken shelter in this particular area," NIA sources said. NIA officers are finding it difficult to penetrate the zone because of its geographical location and population density. It is a densely populated slum of more than 450,000 residents, 80 percent of whom are Bangladeshi migrants. "Some have managed to acquire Indian documents like Voters ID cards, driving licenses and ration cards but many more stay here hiding their identity. Police and district administration find it difficult to penetrate this zone," an NIA officer investigating case said.Apart from Mumbai, several calls were made to Jammu and Kashmir and Tamil Nadu. NIA officers feel that if the operatives have their presence in Mumbai and Jammu and Kashmir, then the magnitude of the crime is more diverse than expected. The entire spree of calls caught the NIA's notice after analysis of one of Shakil Ahmed's (killed in the blast) phones recovered from the blast site. It was found that more than 23 SIM cards and international calling cards were used in that single phone. Investigators unearthed the calls made to different states and abroad on analysing the phone's details through EMI number.

On a question about surveillance on madrasas (Islamic seminary) in the state, Gogoi said not all madrasas are in the radar of the Police. “Just because one of two madrasas have been identified or persons associated with madrasas have been arrested does not mean all the madrasas are involved in jihadi activities.

"These relationships run counter to Pakistan's public commitment to support Afghan-led reconciliation. Such groups continue to act as the primary irritant in Afghan-Pakistan bilateral relations," the Pentagon said in the report running into more than 100 pages.

Indian Government on November 4 asked Pakistan to choose whether it wants to talk to the Indian government or those who want to break India, in yet another signal that the bilateral composite dialogue process is not going to be resumed anytime soon, reports The Times of India. "We create the environment, we fix up a dialogue at the level of foreign secretaries, our foreign secretary is to visit Pakistan, and literally a few hours before that they invite the (Kashmiri) separatists for a dialogue to their high commission (in New Delhi)," said Defence Minister Arun Jaitley."So, I think a new red-line has to be drawn in Pakistan to reconsider the question who they want to speak to? Do they want to speak to the government of India or they want to speak to those who want to break India? Unless Pakistan makes the conscious choice, a dialogue with Pakistan will not be possible," he added.

A ‘platoon commander’ of the Communist Party of India-Maoist’s (CPI-Maoist) People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA), identified as Jeevan Kandulna alias Gajendra Singh, in an interview in Porahat forest of West Singhbum District has confessed that the outfit is not in a healthy state in its former stronghold of Porahat ‘sub-zone’, blaming its absence at the grassroots level, reports The Indian Express on November 6. “We had to hurriedly celebrate the Martyrs’ Week (in July). The Foundation Week celebrations too were held hurriedly. Police were swarming here,” he said. He further said “When a schoolteacher was arrested for being a supporter of ours, we tried to conduct a mass agitation demanding that his replacement be posted immediately. People did not turn up.” Villagers have also remained cold to Maoist efforts to mobilise alleged victims of sexual harassment by Security Forces (SFs). He added “The party works through its committees. We don’t have the Nari (Mukti Sangh), and the (Krantikari) Kisan Committee is nonexistent. I am the only person running the party here; there should be at least three.” He however conceded “Recruitment is still healthy.”

Decrypted communications between Indian Mujahideen (IM) and al Qaeda and testimony from suspects have triggered alarm among intelligence officials in New Delhi, as the terror groups appear to be working together to launch major attacks in the region, Zee News reports on November 6. The officials told that plots they had uncovered included the kidnapping of foreigners and turning India into a "Syria and Iraq where violence is continuously happening".Weeks after al Qaeda announced the formation of a South Asia wing to strike across the subcontinent, agencies said they had discovered IM cadres were training with al Qaeda and other groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan for major attacks."The thing we are looking for is how al Qaeda/ISIS tie up with local groups, especially as the drawdown takes place in Afghanistan," said Sharad Kumar, head of the NIA (National Investigation Agency).Some cadres of IM are already fighting alongside al Qaeda in Afghanistan, according to an Indian government charge sheet against 11 suspected members of the group alleged to have plotted attacks in India. The worry is that more battle hardened fighters could now turn their sights on their homeland.The Internet chats, which the United States helped Indian investigators to decipher, reveal tensions between IM and Pakistan`s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), which India says has nurtured the group with finance and equipment. In one such conversation, Riaz Bhatkal, one of the founders of IM now based in the Pakistani city of Karachi, tells his men that it was important to build direct ties with al Qaeda, cutting out Pakistan agents whom he described as "dogs".

Fearing 'lone wolf' terrorist attacks on western targets in major metropolitan cities, central intelligence agencies have asked Police forces to take extra measures to secure embassies, consulates and nationals of such countries, especially the US, The Times of India reports on November 7. The target list includes Delhi, Mumbai (Maharashtra), Kolkata (West Bengal), Hyderabad, Bangalore (Karnataka) and Chennai (Tamil Nadu).Agencies fear that educated youths from different parts of the country, radicalized over the internet by terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (IS), may carry out solo attacks on western targets, sources said. Police have been asked to specifically brief diplomats of US, Australia, Canada and European countries and beef up security in areas frequented by western nationals.Sources said agencies have picked up chatter on the internet asking youths to "pick Americans and Israelis on the streets and stab them". After the recent suicide attack across the border in Wagah, agencies are not taking the jihadi threats of similar attacks in India lightly and have stepped up vigil. The alert warns that there are now several cases of educated, young boys being radicalized over the internet in places like Telangana, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Rajasthan.

He said that in the agreement there is a reference made to increase in the strength of the Garo Hills Autonomous District Council (GHADC), which is agreed in principle, but the document fails to mention how many seats will be added and when such exercise will be completed. The NPP also expressed its surprise that the Agreed Text of Settlement does not mention how the ANVC and Breakaway faction of the ANVC (ANVC-B) cadres would be rehabilitated

National Investigation Agency (NIA) on November 7 arrested Amjad Sheikh alias Kajal, a Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) militant and an accused in the Bardhaman blasts (October 2, 2014) case from Birbhum District of West Bengal, reports The Times of India. According to NIA, Kajal procured explosives from various chemical shops in Kolkata on the pretext of legitimate business and supplied it to bomb-makers such as Shakil Ghazi and Shobhan Mandal, who died in the Bardhaman blast. These bombs were then transported across the border by couriers such as Kausar. He is suspected to be part of a network in Delhi which NIA is now investigating. It is also suspected that he procured explosive chemicals from at least two suppliers in Delhi who also have businesses in Kolkata. After Kajal got a hint that intelligence agencies had tracked him to Delhi, Kajal fled to Basti in Uttar Pradesh where a state Policeman, who was an acquaintance, provided him shelter. However, choosing not to stay anywhere for too long, he again fled to Birbhum from where he was arrested.

Punjab Police on November 7, arrested ‘chief’ of the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), Harminder Singh alias Mintoo and his key operative Gurpreet Singh alias Gopi, reports Indian Express. Police traced and located the two in Thailand and coordinated with central agencies and Thai authorities. Mintoo, was running active modules among Khalistani terrorists outside India, was arrested from Delhi airport. The arrest location of Gopi is still not specified. He was wanted in 10 terror offences filed in Punjab.Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Sumedh Singh Saini said that Mintoo’s operative Gopi was tasked to execute a conspiracy of targeted assassinations of Hindu leaders in 2013, including Shiv Sena leaders Surinder Kumar Billa (Amritsar), Harwinder Soni (Gurdaspur) and Yograj Sharma (Pathankot).“Mintoo was using a fake Malaysian passport issued in the name of Gurdeep Singh and a fake Malaysian ID Card. Mintoo wanted to strengthen KLF and develop independent contacts with foreign-based supporters and fund raisers of terrorism. While based in Pakistan, he visited Europe in 2010 to establish contacts and in June 2013 left Pakistan for an extensive tour of Europe lasting 11 months (June 2013- May 2014) — visiting Italy, Belgium, Germany, France and other European countries before reaching South East Asia in May 2014. In South East Asia, Mintoo travelled to Cambodia, Laos and Burma, besides Thailand where he established a base,” said Gaurav Yadav, Inspector General (IG) counter intelligence who coordinated the operation.Sumedh Singh Saini said Mintoo had been tasked by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to carry out a strike on Independence Day in Punjab. Officials said they failed to execute it as the plan may have been leaked, reports The Times of India."Pakistan is harbouring these men and ISI is training them and providing financial and military assistance. Their job is to lure youths and fan radicalism and revive militancy. The high alert on I-Day eve was partly due to Mintoo's terror plan," Saini said.

The central investigation agencies are not only looking into alleged Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) militant Ramandeep Singh Goldy's role in Patiala and Ambala bomb blasts in 2010 and the killing of Rashtriya Sikh Sangat chief Rulda Singh in 2009 but also whether he was in touch with former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh's assassin Jagtar Singh Tara during his stay in Thailand and Malaysia, The Times of India reports on November 8.The point is crucial for investigation as several media reports in the last week of October claimed that Thai security agencies had been put on high alert following reports that Tara may have escaped from Pakistan to Thailand. Although Thailand's Army Chief on October 30 had reportedly dismissed Tara's presence in his country, agencies are questioning Goldy about his contacts with Tara in Thailand and Malaysia. "We are going to question him about his link with Tara and whether he was in touch with him during his stay in Thailand and Malaysia," said a senior investigating officer.

A 24-hour bandh (general shut down) call given by Maoists evoked mixed response in Malkangiri District on November 8, reports The Times of India. "Though Malkangiri comes under Dandakaranya region, the bandh failed to evoke any response here," said a source at Malkangiri. However, Maoist posters in huge numbers were spotted in interior pockets of Mathili block, which shares border with Chhattisgarh. The posters urged locals to cooperate during the bandh period. The Maoists had dug Kiang-Udaigiri road under Mathili Police Station limits at several places to restrict movement of vehicles. Police said security arrangements were enhanced in view of the bandh call and no untoward incident was reported. "As Mathili comes under operational area of the DKSZC (Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee), the guerillas damaged an interior road," Malkangiri Superintendent of Police (SP) Mitrabhanu Mohapatra said.

The Purulia zilla parishad (district level local self-Government institution) is not getting contractors to construct a road across the forest hamlets in Purulia District as no one is willing to take up the work because of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) threats in the area, reports The Times of India on November 9. In order to facilitate the movement of the force and provide for the people of Ayodhya Hills a better conveyance system, the administration had decided to construct a metal road through the forest. "We have decided to construct a road that will start from the top of the Ayodhya Hills and move west to a place called Paschim Khamar. This 22-km-long road will go through the forest covering nearly 100 villages on both sides. With an approximate cost of INR 700,000 per kilometre, the entire project is likely to entail a cost of INR 160 million. The project will be funded by the state government's Paschimanchal Unnayan Parshad," said Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader and Purulia zilla sabhadhipati Shristidhar Mahato. Though the detailed project report is ready, the District administration cannot go ahead with the project due to Maoist threats. Inspector General of Police (IGP) (western range), Siddhinath Gupta, said, "There is information that Maoist activities in this area have increased and they are frequenting the hilly terrains of Purulia and even some pockets of West Midnapore."

West Bengal Police on November 8 arrested Sheikh Rahmatullah alias Sajid, ‘chief commander’ of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and key accused in Bardhaman blast (October 2, 2014) case from Jessore Road near Kolkata airport, reports The Times of India. Sajid carried a reward of INR 10, 00,000 which was announced by the NIA last week. The Bidhannagar Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) and Kolkata Police Special Task Force (STF) made the arrest and handed him over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA). According to NIA sources, Sajid was "one of the key leaders in the JMB conspiracy" and his arrest will help unravel the outfit's terror designs not only against Bangladesh but also on possible Indian targets. "He was one of the key JMB leaders and is undoubtedly a big catch," a senior NIA official commented.Though security agencies believe the arrest will unravel hawala (illegal money transaction) chain that brings funds from Bangladesh to run terror modules in India. "Initial investigation reveals that Sajid was about to receive INR 1, 00,000 through a courier. This is why he had travelled to North 24-Parganas. We intercepted the courier and persuaded him to convince Sajid to come to Jessore Road. Sources said Sajid was jailed for several years in Bangladesh and was closely working with bomb-maker Boma Mizan, who is now reportedly hiding in West Bengal. ATS officer R N Banerjee said they seized fake driving licenses and PAN cards from Sajid. "We found four fake identities in the name of Buran Sheikh with a Nanoor, Birbhum address. He also used the alias Surat Ali and gave his address as Sahebganj, Jharkhand," said an officer. Both addresses are important — while Birbhum District’s Kirnahar has been found to be a hotbed of JMB activities, the module reportedly had training centres in Jharkhand."In the initial stages of questioning, Sajid said he was looking to create a greater Bangladesh that will strictly follow Shariat law," said a source.

Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) allegedly involved in the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman blast, was planning to carry out terror attacks in India, in addition to the outfit's plans to trigger explosion in the neighbouring country, New Indian Express reports on November 10. According to the sources who questioned Sajid, alleged to be a mastermind of the blast, JMB was trying to set up a terror network in West Bengal, particularly in three Districts of Murshidabad, Nadia, Malda, and in Assam through armed struggle besides having an 'Shariyat' rule in Bangladesh, official sources said. In the process, the banned terror group was ready to do terror acts to achieve their goal, Sajid, a Bangladeshi national and stated to be the 'chief commander' of JMB, is claimed to have confessed before the investigators. The Times of India adds on November 12 that JMB was to evolve as a disciplined 'army' and not a terror outfit. Sajid has revealed that his wife Fatima, an Indian, was tasked with setting up woman's modules in states of Jharkhand and Odisha. Sajid went on to claim that women played a very important role in this operation. "Their role was not limited to teaching the Sharia laws or transporting the bombs. We had also advised them to travel to other states and encourage others to join. Some of the women were also told to lay honey traps on government officials to seek information and also favours," said Sajid Ali. "It worked to a large extent in West Bengal and we were confident that it would work in other states as well. The Majlis-e-Shura or the central committee of the Jamaat maintained that what we needed to build was an army and not a terror outfit. We were told to deploy the tactics that an army would do," Sajid told the NIA officials. Sajid reportedly said there are 13 active Jihadi couples, while at least two dozen others are part of the sleeper cells. "Most of these women hail from poor socio-economic background. Once they completed education at Simulia and Lalgola madrasas (Islamic seminary) they underwent a 'personality' test. Those found fit for 'Jihad' were asked to marry cadres from Bangladesh," said a source.

Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) operatives are recruiting youths to trigger large-scale violence to thwart the poll process in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reported The Times of India on November 10. Sources in the security establishment claim that with infiltration bid by terrorists organisations from across the border being effectively curbed by the alert forces on the International Border (IB) and the Line of Control (LoC), the terror groups are now vigorously pushing ahead their plan-B by intensifying their recruitment bid to carry forward their `bloody agenda’. As per estimates of the intelligence agencies, around two dozen youth from the state have all been recruited. The youths recruited by the terror groups were imparted extensive training to use deadly weapons besides being indoctrinated by `jihadi‘literature. Most of these new recruits are from South Kashmir and are well versed with the local terrain. The moment they all are armed with weapons, they all will become operational.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) is investigating the angle of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) involvement in the Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) business, according to a Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) source, bdnews24.com reports. Indian intelligence agencies believe that FICN are used to fund the activities of outfits such as JMB and Indian Mujahideen (IM) in the country.It is believed that NIA has many vital clues about the involvement of Northeast India-based militant organisations with the FICN business. Officials also believe that some Assam-based insurgent outfits including United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) might also be involved in the FICN trade. Muslim fundamentalist outfits in Assam are also on the radar of the security agencies. “There is every possibility that under influence of several external forces, the Northeast-based militant organisations may get involved in fake notes business only to crash our economy,” a senior UMHA official handling Northeast affairs said. Official data reveal that FICN worth INR 10,534,205 were seized from across Assam and Meghalaya during the last three years.

On November 10, an minor explosion took place outside the Central Reserve Terrorist Force (CRPF) camp in West Bengal's Salt Lake area where National Investigation Agency (NIA) has set up a makeshift office for the Bardhaman blast probe, reports The Times of India. NIA officers were questioning three major Bangladeshi terror suspects Sajid, Hamid and Zia-ul-Haque when the blast was heard around 7.30pm, said sources. The blast site is close to Technopolis and the tech hub of Sector V of Salt Lake. CCTV footage from near Technopolis and a bus stand right outside the CRPF camp show a red car parked in the vicinity for quite some time. A large Police force has cordoned off the area and bomb disposal experts are on the ground. Samples collected from the spot point to a crude bomb but without splinters, say sources. Traffic has been restricted on the road. Police suspect the bomb was thrown from a bus and hit the boundary wall of the CRPF camp. "There has been an explosion but it doesn't seem serious. The explosion took place in a corner of the bus stand right in front of the CPRF camp. The police commissioner and detective chief have examined the spot very carefully but there was neither any smell nor any residue of explosives," said a police officer. "We have strengthened security around the CRPF camp," Bidhannagar Police Commissioner, Rajiv Kumar said.

Sources added, there is accurate input suggesting that the HM has already recruited 25 young men in South Kashmir and that some of the new recruits were to travel to a locality in Budgam in a white car, which apparently led to a “case of mistaken identity.’’ Central intelligence agencies had shared this information with the Army following which it was on high alert in the Budgam area when the tragic incident happened on November 3 in which two youth were killed in alleged Army firing in Budgam District.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman blast case, has issued lookout notices for at least three persons hailing from Chatala village in Barpeta District of Assam, The Times of India reports on November 12. The three have been reported missing for a while now. The NIA has announced a reward of INR 500,000 for anyone who provides information leading to his arrest. An NIA team visited Chatala on November 11 for the third time since naming Sahanur as key conspirator a few weeks ago. A source said the NIA officials found that at least two to three youth from the village have gone underground. "One of them is Anar Ali, who has not been seen in the village for a long time. He, along with the others, is Sahanur's companion," the source added. The NIA asked the headman of the Chatala village to furnish details of the missing youth. New Indian Express adds that on November 11, NIA raided house of Sahanur Alam at Chatala village. The NIA also summoned the Chatala village chief and asked him to submit a list of the names of those, who had disappeared from the village in recent times. Following the search NIA officials scoured the two bank accounts of Sahanur, who is on the run and believed to be hiding either in Meghalaya or South India. “The JMB [Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh] has been trying to spread its tentacles to some key areas of Assam. However, the indoctrination of youths in jihadi philosophy is at a nascent stage,” Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Pallab Bhattacharya commented.

A discreet survey of the country's madrasas (Islamic seminary) by the government has reportedly found the foreigners teaching there, largely Bangladeshi instructors who have managed to acquire Indian identity documents, to be a key source of indoctrination among young Indian Muslims, The Times of India reports on November 13. The report, submitted to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) in October, 2014, has flagged the mushrooming of unaided and unregulated madrasas along the Indo-Bangladesh or Indo-Nepal border in West Bengal, Assam and Terai region. "Many of these seminaries have foreign teachers, mostly Bangladeshis who have worked closely with elements associated with outfits such as Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). They digress from the normal religious teachings and 'correct' interpretation of Islam by madrasas having Indian teachers, and highlight the alleged atrocities on Indian Muslims through videos and other provocative material. The aim is to exploit the feeling of alienation or discontent among young impressionable Muslims, with the larger purpose of radicalizing them to take up jihadi terror," said a senior official who has perused the report on madrasas across the country. Sources indicated that the government is contemplating a separate study to identify the "foreign" teachers who may be dispensing jihadi doctrine at madrasas, particularly those located close to the border with Bangladesh and Nepal. The concern over foreign instructors at Indian madrasas is explained by the fact that most of the Bardhaman blast accused are Bangladeshis who were indoctrinating Muslim men and women in West Bengal and teaching them how to make bombs for terror acts in Bangladesh as well as India.

Assam Police is keeping a close watch on several Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and madrasas (Islamic seminary) across the state to unearth jihadi links, if any, Director General of Police (DGP) Khagen Sarma stated on November 12, reports The Times of India. A joint team of National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Assam Police has discovered valuable leads in the recent Bardhaman blast case, Sarma added. "We are scanning some NGOs, madrasas and other places which might have been used by jihadi elements as shelter and for funds," he said. Sources said a Kerala-based NGO with strong links to the banned Islamic student organisation, Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), is trying to spread jihadi operations in Assam. "SIMI has been found using many unusual channels to spread its tentacles across the country. Besides using madrasas, they are also operating under cover of NGOs, socio-cultural clubs and libraries to find new recruits and expand base," a source added. These organisations are spreading religious extremism among the youth, the source said. "These NGOs get foreign funds to build madrasas. A lot of the money is also pumped to feed terror activities through hawala [illegal money transaction] channels," it added. Sarma added that Assam Police have increased security measures at several vulnerable points. "The Kamakhya temple, the secretariat and several other places have been categorized as vulnerable. All protective measures are in place," Sarma said.

India and the United States (US) stepped up cooperation to track Dawood Ibrahim, who generally lived at Karachi (Sindh) in Pakistan till recently, of late started shifting his base frequently and purportedly moved to different locations within and outside the neighbouring country, Deccan Herald reports on December 13. The officials of India and US may discuss the issue of bringing the elusive D-company chief to justice during the third round of bilateral Homeland Security Dialogue, which is likely to take place in New Delhi later this month or early next month. The dialogue will be co-chaired by Union Minister of Home Affairs Rajnath Singh and US Secretary for Homeland Security Jeh Johnson. Sources in New Delhi said that Indian and American agencies over the past few weeks renewed bilateral cooperation, focusing particularly on “disrupting financial and tactical support” that the D-company enjoyed within and outside Pakistan. Indian intelligence agencies are understood to have shared with their counterparts in US that the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had shifted Dawood from Karachi to North Waziristan Agency (NWA) near Afghanistan-Pakistan border sometime in the second week of October, ostensibly in anticipation of heightened cooperation between New Delhi and Washington to track him down in the wake of Modi-Obama meet.

The Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMHA) Rajnath Singh on November 12 said Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) was in "turmoil" due to growing desertions, absence of fresh recruitment and low morale among its armed cadres, but cautioned that it had the potential of bouncing back with a spectacular attack against soft targets in its stronghold areas, reports The Times of India. Speaking at a meeting of the parliamentary consultative committee on home affairs in New Delhi, the he said the turmoil in the Maoist ranks was evident from "the literature recovered by Security Forces and interrogation of LWE cadres". "But, as it typical with the Maoists, the top leadership of LWE is trying hard to overcome the situation... The LWE insurgency has shown remarkable resilience and stamina throughout its historical course and has bounced back on many occasions," he said adding that the government had therefore decided to commit all resources at its disposal to tackle the problem. Stating that counter-Maoist efforts remained on top of the agenda for interventions by the Centre, the Home Minister added Prime Minister Narendra Modi regime was pursuing a four-pronged strategy, focused on security-development-rights and entitlement and public perception management.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) is likely to discuss the deplorable performance of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected States in ensuring the rights and entitlement of the local communities during a high-level meeting, reports The New Indian Express on November 13. The Government had enacted the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006. Bihar, which last year (2013) reported 176 incidents, could only distribute 1.67 per cent of title deeds to forest dwellers. Till July 31, Bihar had received 2,930 claims, but only 28 title deeds were distributed. Chhattisgarh, which reported 353 incidents in 2013, had received 7,56,062 claims, but only 3,12,250 title deeds could be distributed. Although Chhattisgarh has performed much better with 43.73 per cent title distribution when compared to Bihar, the State rejected over four lakh claims. Sources said among the states, Odisha was the best performing State in terms of ensuring the rights and entitlement of local communities, distributing 70.71 percent title deeds. Even states such as Maharashtra could only distribute 1,43,283 title deeds out of 3,48.075 claims. Blaming the Maoist menace in certain worst affected areas for the delay in the development activities, sources said the road network of 2,297 km remained incomplete because it fell under the Maoist dominated areas. The Centre had approved INR 73 billion under Road Requirement Plan-I for Maoist-affected areas in 34 Districts. So far, the agencies have completed 3,180 km-long road network.

Cyber attacks have grown nearly five times in the last three years and most of them have been found to be originating from the IP addresses located in China, The Times of India reports on November 14. "Most of the cyber attacks that we have tracked show IP addresses located in China but we are unable to establish if the attacker is from China. We need international cooperation for handling such crimes," National Technical Research Organisation NTRO Director of cyber security , Alok Vijayant said. Government's cybersecurity arm Computer Emergency Response Team-India (CERT-In) reported 62,189 cyber security incidents in the first five months of the current calendar year. These attacks have been found to be originating from the cyberspace of a number of countries including the US, Europe, Brazil, Turkey, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Algeria and the UAE, according to the official report. "India has a dearth of talent. In most of the cases Indians find cyber security loophole quickly with its solution but people may get tempted with high price paid in underground market. Payment per exploit is as good as 15,000 euros and higher than that," Vijayant said.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) has tracked the source of funds utilised in Bardhaman (West Bengal ) blast of October 2, 2014 to sustain the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) modules in India, The Times of India reports on November 14. The agency has identified a man named Abdul Noor, suspected to be a key operative of the outfit in Bangladesh, as the man who carried cash tranches across the border periodically. NIA has also identified a JMB operative from West Bengal who was working as a mason in Jammu and Kashmir. The man has already been interrogated by the agency. The agency has also found that not only did all members have wives who were equally involved in all terror acts but the top brass among the Indian module had more than one wife who were all engaged in terror activities. In fact, marriages were deliberately solemnised among members of the module much on the lines of Maoists. Women were, however, given training only in firing of weapons and not in making of bombs. "This is a unique development as far as jihadi terrorism in India is concerned. The JMB module in India has 50 per cent women. All have been indoctrinated, well-trained in physical combat and weapon operation and married to their jihadi colleagues," said an NIA officer.

The officials of Central intelligence agencies have unearthed the network of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) Bardhaman (West Bengal) terror modules link in Jharkhand, New Indian Express reports on November 15. Sources in the government stated that JMB terrorists had opened two Jihadi Madrasas (Islamic seminary) in Sahibganj District of Jharkhand to recruit and train terror modules. The Bardhaman terror handlers were already operating two separate madrasas in Simulia and Murshidabad, which was primarily focusing on female Jihadis. “The two Madrasas in Sahibganj are linked to Bardhaman terrorists. They were already operating two Madrasas in West Bengal. It appears the JMB terror had become a diffuse movement with recruits in other states that threaten the country,” sources said. Sources also confirmed that at least 110 Jihadis were trained in all four madrasas, including West Bengal and Jharkhand. They were trained in Improvised Explosive Device (IED), rifle shooting and Jihadi ideology. Sources admitted that with the new revelations, JMB-Bardhaman terror module has emerged as the country’s top terrorism concern. “The indoctrinated youth remain a threat to Security and Intelligence agencies. Jharkhand has become a fertile ground for Jihadi recruits by Indian Mujahideen (IM) and it appears the JMB’s key handlers have taken advantage of it. A thorough probe is on to find out the Jharkhand madrasas’ handlers and trainers,” sources added.

Days after Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh cautioned that the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is down but not out, the Maoists have claimed that what he said was right, reports The Times of India. CPI-Maoist's Bihar-Jharkhand Special Area Committee (BJSAC) general secretary Rupeshji said their silence should not be mistaken for disenchantment of the militia with its ideology. "It could be a part of our strategy that we are not willing to waste our energy, forces and weapons, but an appropriate response will be given to the security forces if they continue with their repression," he said. Talking exclusively to Times of India on November 15, Rupeshji said though they have been facing difficulties in terms of repression by security forces and covert action of the state-sponsored armed intelligence groups, such actions have made the outfit even more determined. Citing a recent example of villagers in Madanpur area under Aurangabad district of Bihar, who blocked the National Highway (GT road) to protest against atrocities by CRPF personnel, the BJSAC chief said that such protests are going to be commonplace all over Jharkhand and Bihar. "Martyrdom of Kalawati Devi and Ramadhan Bhuinya, killed in police firing during the protest, will not be allowed to go waste and villagers are being trained to rise against the repression of security forces," he said, indicating towards Saranda, where a mass movement is being planned against the forceful eviction of villages to give mining rights to 19 private companies. "How long can the government succeed if the villagers themselves rise against them?" he argued.

"This is for the first time that women have been deployed in active operations in a high-risk and sensitive area where contact with the enemy is regular and very dynamic. The squads were placed at two locations about a fortnight back and they have begun operating," a source said. "Women have an edge in such operations. Under the new blueprint prepared to tackle this most important internal security challenge, it was felt necessary to use the female strength as their presence not only results in making good friends for the force among the locals and tribal women but instances of human rights violations are also kept under check," the source added.

Three 'state-of-the-art' interceptor boats were on November 15 inducted into the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) in Porbandar (Gujarat), adding firepower to marine security and shoring up search and rescue operation capacity in the sea, reports Zee News. Gujarat Chief Minister Anandi Patel commissioned the boats, C-409, C-411 and C-412, fitted with high-tech navigation and communication equipment and said the Government is maintaining a strict vigil along the coast. "A neighbouring country is close to Gujarat's coastal line. Therefore, coastal security is very crucial for Gujarat government, which has taken adequate steps to protect the country's interests," Anandi Patel said after commissioning the boats. "Our jawans [troopers] are serving the country with utmost dedication. The new boats will help them protect our coastal belt even better," she added. The vessels will be used in high speed interception, close-coast patrol, low-intensity maritime operations and surveillance besides search and rescue operations, ICG Deputy Inspector General (DIG) S.S.

According to intelligence inputs, al Qaeda, which has announced plans to target India, is keen on recruiting youth trained in computers or aeronautics for its terror designs and is taking the help of banned terror outfit Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) for this, Oman Tribune reports on November 17. Sources said intelligence inputs shared by central agencies with the Police in some major cities including Delhi, Bangalore (Karnataka), Kolkata (West Bengal) and Mumbai (Maharashtra) talked of al Qaeda not only planning to recruit disgruntled youth but had a target to pick up those familiar with use of computers or having knowledge about aeroplanes. They said that al Qaeda is using Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives in Pakistan to establish contacts with the sleeper cells of SIMI to recruit educated Muslim youth. “A recruit with some technical skill can prove to be more lethal than others. Al Qaeda wants to add manpower and gain capabilities,” an official said. Sources said that al Qaeda has plans to cause blasts and other disturbances in India.

According to the EY Global Information Security survey, about one-third organisations in India have no real-time insight on cyber-risks necessary to combat cyber threats, Indian Today reports on November 17. Companies are lacking agility, budget and skills to mitigate known vulnerabilities and successfully prepare for and address cyber-security. About 32.14 per cent of the respondents in India said their organisation's total information security budget will stay approximately the same in the coming 12 months despite increasing threats. More than half (54.55 per cent) of the respondents said they are facing rising threats and 50.91 per cent said they are facing rising vulnerabilities in their information security environment. About 60 organisations from India were a part of this year's survey, which saw participation from about 1,825 organisations globally across 60 countries.

Assam Tribune on November 17 reported that banned militant outfit Kamatapur Liberation Organization (KLO) now has more cadres from Assam than from West Bengal. Security sources said that at one point of time, the KLO was considered to be a North Bengal based militant outfit, though it maintained close ties with the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB). However, the situation has now changed as the outfit has more members from Assam. Sources revealed that the outfit in the last few years, managed to recruit a number of youths from lower Assam, particularly from the Districts of Bongaigaon, Chirang and Goalpara. The total strength of the KLO is now estimated to be around 100 to 120 cadres. The outfit is also maintaining close ties with the Songbijit faction of the NDFB (NDFB-IKS) and both the outfits also launched a number of joint operations including kidnappings and extortions. The KLO is also maintaining close ties with Kanglei Yawol Kanna Lup (KYKL). Sources said that some of the newly youths recruited in recent months by the KLO from Lower Assam were sent to the base in Myanmar for training.

Himachal Pradesh Police have reinforced security at Bhakra dam after the intelligence agencies raised fresh concerns over its security, Hindustan Times reports on November 17. Intelligence agencies have asked the Himachal Pradesh Police to increase security at the dam site. “We have asked Police to take the security measures at the dam,” said an official. Intelligence agencies have emphasised to upgrade the underwater security at the dam, besides stressing the need for installing more close circuit cameras at vantage points of the dam. The agencies have detected that the underground safety net at the dam was torn at many places. The safety net checks the flow of any unwanted material that could pose threat to the earthen dams. The intelligence agencies have accentuated the need for deploying more boats at the dam for monitoring the movement of “suspicious” elements at the dam. “Some of security concerns expressed by the police have been addressed while others are being looked into,” Director General of Police (DGP) Sanjay Kumar said. “We are installing more security gadgets at the dam,” said he. The Himachal police have increased the strength of cops at the dam site.

Indian spy agencies have begun to see Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists sheltered by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Karachi (Sindh) abandoning the terror outfit to join Islamic State (IS) which has an estimated 15,000 foreign terrorists from at least 80 nations operating in the terror-torn Middle-east region for a new global jihad, reports New Indian Express. Intelligence sources citing the intercepted chatters between IM cadres said that two IM operatives—Sultan and Farhan, suspected to be Indian nationals, may have entered Syria to join IS. Besides, four Pakistani terrorists, part of the IM module, have defected to IS. At least four other IM terrorists, who were used as arsenal by ISI, are also suspected to have disappeared into Afghanistan to fight the religious war with al Qaeda and the Taliban. Earlier, the agencies had indicated that at least 20 self-indoctrinated Indian youths may have joined IS in Syria and Iraq. Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) sources confirmed that at least 23 IM terrorists have been sheltered by the Pakistan's ISI in its safe house in Karachi. According to intelligence agencies, IM operatives are now more ideologically inclined towards the brutal method of international terror outfits like IS. IM top brass has also internally started resenting the total ISI control over their outfit and wants to renew the efforts to wage jihad in India with the assistance of IS and al Qaeda. The chatters between jihadis indicate that they are ready for Bayat (Pledge of Obedience) and hoping to join bigger jihadi theatre to establish Islamic caliphate. The intelligence officials said money could be another reason as Pakistan's ISI choked the funding of IM after paying approximately 25 million in the last couple of years to carry out blasts in India besides for their operational expenses. An earlier chat interception had revealed that ISI was paying 6 million quarterly for personal expenses of IM terrorists sheltered in Pakistan. The financial crunch may have prompted the IM terrorists to forge an alliance with the international terror outfit having deep pockets. The intercepted communication also revealed that IM has recently split into two factions—the first group, led by most wanted terrorist Bada Sajid, includes Shadab Beg, Khalid, Shahnawaz alias Doctor, Rashid alias Danda, Shabbar and Saleem. The second group led by Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal is almost neutralised after Yasin Bhatkal and Assadullah Akhtar were arrested from Nepal last year and subsequent crackdown on the Jharkhand and Bihar modules. “Some IM terrorists have already moved to Khyber agency in Afghanistan-Pakistan border to join al Qaeda and IS. Bada Sajid and Abu Rashid alias Danda are learnt to be operating in Afghanistan with al Qaeda,” sources said. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing the terror cases has pointed out that Sultan’s younger brother Shafi was also trained for war in Syria. A chat between Riyaz Bhatkal and suspected IM module Afeef revealed that its commander Iqbal had asked Shafi whether he was ready to go to Syria.

Khaled Mohammed, the Myanmar national arrested from Hyderabad on November 16 in connection with Bardhaman (West Bengal) blast of October 2, 2014, disclosed that Indian Mujahideen (IM), Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) and Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) had joined hands for terror activities in India, Deccan Chronicle reports on November 23. Khaled disclosed that he had come to India with a specific target of increasing JMB's terror network in the country with help of local outfits like IM. Intelligence sources said that Khaled had been running a number of training camps along Indian border in Bangladesh and Myanmar. During this time he came in contact with members of TTP who further trained him in making explosives. Khaled also said that he was directed by some top JMB and Taliban leaders to shift base to India and spread terror activities there. It is suspected that after crossing over into Indian through Bangladesh border, Khaled had also stayed at the Bardhaman hideout for sometime. “Khaled has made some important disclosures but we will interrogate him in detail once we get a longer custody from the designated court in Kolkata. The NIA [National Investigation Agency] team that has returned from Bangladesh has got some fresh inputs which needs to be further investigated and Khaled’s questioning will be extremely important,’’ an official said.

On November 16, the Kurla Railway Police arrested a 38-year-old man, Faiyaz Khan for allegedly trying to smuggle a pistol and two loaded magazines wrapped in carbon paper in order to prevent it from being detected by the metal detectors at the Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT), reports Indian Express. “A search of Khan’s rexin bag revealed a packet of chocolates. As it seemed to be heavier than usual, it was opened, and was found to contain the arsenal wrapped in a sheet of carbon paper, bound with cellotape. The carbon paper helps mask metal items from metal detectors. There was one pistol, loaded with a magazine containing eight rounds, as well as a second magazine loaded with eight rounds wrapped in the carbon paper,” said senior Police Inspector Vijay Dhopavkar, Kurla Railway Police. “On searching him further, we found five fixed deposit receipts worth INR 1,00,000 each, INR 24,000 in cash and several ATM cards. His phone contained photographs of Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, Osama Bin Laden and Ajmal Amir Qasab, as well as some literature in Urdu. Khan, in his interrogation, has claimed that he was on his way to Basti District in Uttar Pradesh to kill someone, and the Police are verifying these claims.

Suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres shot dead a 30-year-old Panchayat (village level local self government institution) ward member, identified as Motai Bodra, near Narsingarh weekly market in Dalbhumgarh of Ghatshila in East Singhbhum District on November 16, reports The Telegraph. According to eyewitnesses, Bodra, a resident of Ramaitand village in Ghurabandha, was buying goods at Narsingarh weekly market, when someone asked him to accompany him to the corner of the haat. “Soon, two more men appeared in the scene. Their faces were covered. They dragged Bodra for about 100 metres to a secluded place and pumped three bullets into his body. He died on the spot,” said the eyewitness. However, Superintendent of Police (SP) (rural) Shailendra Kumar Sinha did not confirm involvement of Maoists in the broad daylight murder. “We cannot conclusively say that it was a Maoist-sponsored killing. The murder of Bodra might also be an outcome of a gang rivalry or an old enmity with someone in his village. We are probing the case from all possible angles,” the SP said.

On November 17, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested a suspected Myanmar national, Khaleed alias Khalid Mohammed who was allegedly trained by Tehreek-i-Taliban (TTP) from Hyderabad in connection with the Bardhaman (West Bengal) blast case, report The Times of India. Khaleed who had been residing in Hyderabad on the basis of alleged fake documents, was arrested by the State Police on November 16 following an intelligence tip-off by central security agencies, official sources said today. He was handed over to the NIA a day later. Khaleed is believed be an expert in Improvised Explosive Device (IED), the NIA said and claimed that he belonged to Rohingiya solidarity organisation and had links with Bangladesh-based terrorist groups. The NIA also claimed that he was involved in running terror camps in bordering areas of Bangladesh and Myanmar. A search at his residence led sleuths to his laptop which contained incriminating videos of training material, literature relating to various kinds of poison, IED-making, bomb-making, explosives and 'Jihadi' Literature including that relating to IS (Islamic State). Here was a man (Khalid) helping militant groups, which are opposed to the nation states of Pakistan (TTP) and Bangladesh (JMB) and were using Bengal as their base. "There is thus no doubt now that they were planning subversive attacks on India also," said an NIA officer. After the arrest, the jail authorities stepped up security in West Bengal jails housing Rohingyas. The security agencies have now started collaborating details on the routes taken by the Rohingyas to enter West Bengal. Intelligence Bureau (IB) sources said the Rohingya Muslims are infiltrating mainly through the Indo-Bangladesh border at Swarupnagar, Basirhat and Gaighata Police Station areas.

According to the Global Terrorism Index, 2014 report India was the sixth worst affected country by terrorism in 2013, reports The Times of India on November 18. The Global Index report said "The number of attacks also increased, with 55 more attacks in 2013 than 2012. However, the majority of terrorist attacks in India have low casualties. In 2013 around 70% of attacks were non-lethal. Communist terrorist groups are by far the most frequent perpetrators and the main cause of deaths in India. Three Maoist communist groups claimed responsibility for 192 deaths in 2013, which was nearly half of all deaths from terrorism in India. Police are overwhelmingly the biggest targets of Maoists, accounting for half of all deaths and injuries. This is mainly through armed assaults, which killed 85, and bombings and explosions, which killed 43".

Indian security agencies believe that the absconding 'Haath-Kata' Nasirullah, who was training jihadis at Mukimnagar in Murshidabad District of West Bengal is none other than Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh 'military chief' Sohel Mahfuz, The Times of India reports on November 22. Bangladeshi authorities have indicated that Mahfuz is the most important name on the list of 41 militants suspected to be hiding in India. Dhaka had handed over this list to India two days ago. Sources say Myanmar militant Khalid Mohammad and JMB 'Bengal head' Sajid both of whom are in custody have confirmed that Mahfuz was posing as Nasirullah in India. Explaining how Mahfuz managed to hide in Bengal and rebuild JMB, National Investigation Agency (NIA) officers said the outfit adopted a "cut-out" strategy, in which senior leaders are isolated from field-level operatives to carry out subversive activities and attacks on heads of state. The strategy leaves JMB activists in the dark about the identities of top leaders of the outfit as they blindly carry out orders they consider part of their "religious duty", say sources. As a result, when a JMB cadre is arrested, he cannot lead security agencies to anyone high up in the chain.

Investigators have found a link between of Saradha Scam and Bardhama blast of October 2, 2014, oneindia.com reports on November 22. Shakil Ahmed alias Swapan Mondal one of the bombers killed at Bardhama blast had received Saradha funds which were in turn channelised to West Bengal, an officer with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) informed. The agencies are looking at close to INR 75 crore transaction between the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and the Saradha masterminds. Although Shakil Ahmed is dead, documents which belonged to him which have been seized go on to suggest that he had moved money for the Saradha accused 18 times in the past three years and parked the money in installments in Bangladesh. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) which are investigating the Saradha case say that the link to the JMB is also under probe. Some money has moved to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia while the rest of it remained in Bangladesh. The money was parked in the Islami Bank in Bangladesh. India has already sought details from Bangladesh about the money movement into this bank. This bank has been in the news in the past as well for moving funds to terrorists and is also under the scanner of the US senate committee.

While noting that the "most common regional terrorist threat" is that from the Maoists, the "India 2014 Crime and Safety Report: Hyderabad" also raises concerns about radical Islamist groups in general and the Indian Mujahideen (IM) in particular. Describing IM, which the US recognises as a "global terrorist organisation", as a "compilation" of groups such as SIMI (Students Islamic Movement of India) and LeT (Lashkar-e-Toiba), the report claimed that the militant group has on its agenda "carrying out terrorist actions" for the advancement of an Islamic Caliphate across South Asia. The report listed terror attacks at Delhi High Court in 2011 and Mumbai blasts in 2011, among others in which IM operatives have been implicated. The report stated that in a US Department of Defense report submitted to the Congress India is a "primary target" of the LeT. "The US government continues to receive information that the terrorist groups are planning attacks that could take place anywhere in India, the report read".

Terror activities in India have increased by 70 per cent during 2012-2013 with the number of deaths rising from 238 to 404, according to the Global Terrorism Index 2014, New Indian Express reports on November 23. Prepared by Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), the number of attacks also increased with 55 more incidents in 2013 than in 2012. "Terrorism increased by 70 per cent in India from 2012 to 2013, with the number of deaths increasing from 238 to 404," it said. However, the majority of terrorist attacks in India have low casualties. In 2013, around 70 per cent of attacks were non-lethal. There were attacks by 43 terrorist groups who can be categorised into three categories - Islamists, separatists and Communists. "Communist terrorist groups (Naxals) are by far the most frequent perpetrators and the main cause of deaths in India. The Index said generally, the dispute with Pakistan over Jammu and Kashmir is the source of Islamic terrorism. In 2013 three Islamist groups were responsible for around 15 per cent of deaths. This includes Pakistan-based Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM). "Targeting private citizens, Police and businesses, attacks are generally restricted to the geographic region as most of these groups are relatively small and have local claims," the Index said.

A’chik Liberation Army (UALA) has threatened to call for an ‘indefinite stir’ in protest against the State Governments failure to initiate peace talks with the militant group, reports The Shillong Times on November 24. The ‘political secretary’ of UALA, Rangdat Garo said that the State Government was dragging its feet on the peace talks with UALA and accused it of failing to bring any group to the negotiating table with concrete conclusion. Meanwhile, a little known group calling itself the A’chik Revolutionary Force (ARF), believed to be having close ties to the UALA, has voiced its support for the group in its endeavour for peace talks. However, Meghalaya Police claim that there is no such group as ARF other than UALA using the same name to exert pressure on the Government. A Police source stated that “UALA is desperate to hold peace talks to escape police operations. They are using the name of ARF to show the government that a conglomerate of outfits under the banner of ARF is supporting them. The ARF is UALA,”.

Defence Minister, Manohar Parrikar said he believed the IMAC would ensure a "99.99 per cent" shield against terror attacks like 26/11 (November 26, 2008), but admitted the surveillance network still has some gaps that need to be plugged and cited the example of non-availability of proper radar coverage between Mangalore (Karnataka) and Goa and Goa and Ratnagiri (Maharashtra). Parrikar sought the cooperation of states to make IMAC "100 per cent" successful.

The four youths from Kalyan (Thane District of Maharashtra) recruited by the Islamic State (IS) are said to have contacted their families, expressing a wish to be rescued and brought back home, The Times of India reports on November 26. "All four are in touch with their families here and sought facilitation of their rescue and return. However, only Arif's family has contacted the National Investigation Agency's (NIA) office in Mumbai and sought the intervention of the Centre to bring him back," a senior intelligence officer stated. Arif had reportedly called his father, Ejaz Majeed, and claimed to have fled to Turkey after fighting for IS for a few months. As for the other Kalyan youths, Aman Tandel, Fahad Shaikh and Sahim Tanki sources told that even they are believed to have conveyed to their respective families their "desperation" to be rescued from the violent war being fought by the IS. Their location is said to be somewhere in Iraq. Though a senior intelligence official said the government is willing to take a sympathetic view on the matter, he conceded that it was virtually impossible to negotiate the return of a person associated with IS. "Besides, who do we talk to about the return of the Kalyan youth still in the IS zone...Who will go there to seek them out?" added the official. Another complication is that even if the Kalyan youths are located, they would have to be arrested and tried for having been associated with a terrorist organisation proscribed by the United Nations (UN). According to sources, 10-12 Indian youths are said to have been recruited by IS from India and abroad.

Source in the NIA said "We are yet to confirm who or which outfit is involved in transporting these IEDs.

The Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) wants the Centre to purchase used mine-resistant and ambush-protected vehicles (MRAPs) from the US, which have already been deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq, reports dailymail.co.uk. A message has been delivered to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), highlighting that the ever-growing sophistication in combat tactics of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) calls for urgent modernisation of the forces. The CRPF has recommended to the home ministry that purchasing these used MRAPs will be far less expensive than making new purchases. “At present, the CRPF is facing attacks using IEDs, which are very basic in nature and generally found in jungle areas. Maoists are likely to come up with more technologically sophisticated IEDs in near future. Maoists may use these IEDs once they shift their movement to urban areas,” a CRPF note sent to the home ministry stated. Other than the MRAPs, the CRPF has also listed equipment and technology that is needed to counter the high threat posed by IEDs.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres set ablaze eight tractors at Rai village near Saryu forests in Latehar District after heavy crossfire with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) on November 26, a day after peaceful polling in the first phase of Assembly elections, reports The Telegraph. Security forces had their items of daily use such as blankets, folding chairs, tents, and others on eight tractors. Though roughly over 5,000 rounds of fire were exchanged between the Maoists and a joint team of CRPF and Jharkhand Jaguars, no casualties have been reported. According to reports, around 9.30am, Maoists sprayed bullets on Security Force (SF) personnel returning to the Saryu picket from poll clusters Kabri, Kotam, Rai and Chora, where they had dispatched EVMs. The first encounter lasted till 11am. According to local sources, SF personnel then caught four “innocent villagers” and thrashed them. In retaliation, Maoists started the second round of attacks at 2pm. After an hour of gun battle, as the security forces gained ground, rebels set ablaze the tractors and fled. Latehar Superintendent of Police SP Michael S. Raj confirmed the incident. “Tractors were set on fire after two encounters. There is no report of casualty from any side,” he said. On the detention angle, he said: “Some people have been detained on suspicion. Can’t give details now”

Ahead of the People’s Liberation Guerrilla Army (PLGA) week commencing on December 2, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) held a meeting on the border with Odisha in Visakhapatnam District on November 27 to pay homage to its District committee member Sharath and militia member P. Ganapathi who were killed in an attack by the people near Korukonda shandy on October 19 and repeated its warning that it would not spare Simhachalam who escaped from the Maoist attack and 19 villagers who attacked the party men at the behest of the Police. While Sharath and Ganapathi were clobbered to death, another militia member Korra Nageswara Rao who was dumped in a nearby stream believing that he was also killed due to thrashing, survived and talked to the media during the meeting. The meeting, for which people from 33 villages under Balapam Gram Panchayat were asked to attend by the Maoists as if to show that their influence over the area has not diminished, was addressed by party's east division secretary Kailasam while many top leaders of State rank were also present. More than a hundred party functionaries of all cadres were present, according to information received here. Charging Superintendent of Police Koya Praveen with implementing a Salwa Judum type operation in the Agency, he said he would meet the fate met by Salwa Judum leader Mahendra Karma. Kailasam demanded withdrawal of proposal for creation of village protection force. Kailasam announced that coffee plantations at Siribala, RV Nagar and Chapagedda will be distributed to the Girijans soon since the party believed that the forest wealth belonged to the Girijans. In the past it distributed six coffee plantations to the Girijans.

Apparently shaken by spate of surrender of Maoists in Chhattisgarh’s conflict zone of Bastar in recent time, Left-wing Extremists (LWEs) have threatened to kill the deserting cadres, intelligence sources said on November 27, reports The Asian Age. The Maoists leaders have begun holding meetings in villages in remote areas in south Bastar region warning the cadres of execution in public if they surrendered before the Police. “The Madh Divisional Committee of CPI (Maoist) has launched a campaign in south Bastar region to stop the local cadres from joining the bandwagon of surrendered Maoists. Leaders of the committee have been spotted organising ‘forced’ conclave of local adivasis (tribals) threatening to eliminate those who surrender, apparently to create a fear psychosis among their cadre,” a senior Police officer quoting the intelligence inputs received from Bhairamgarh area in south Bastar District of Bijapur said, unwilling to be quoted.

Border Security Force (BSF) is planning to use laser walls to stop infiltration from Pakistan, reports Times of India on November 27 (today). This is one solution BSF is exploring to implement more effective border checks. The laser wall will ensure that anyone approaching the border or breaking the beam in an unfenced zone sets off an alarm. Other than laser walls in unfenced areas, the force is considering anti-tunnel ground sensors and thermal sensors in the fenced stretches. Such technologies, sources said, are already in use in countries such as Israel. BSF Director General DK Pathak said "We're constantly modernizing our weaponry and upgrading defenses according to the new challenges facing us. We have looked at some of these technologies and have found them suitable."

Nine soldiers have been indicted for killing two youth in Budgam District on November 3 and will face court martial, the Army said on November 27, reports Times of India.

Outgoing Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) director-general (DG) Dilip Trivedi on November 27 made serious allegations of Maoism benefitting Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)]-affected states, reports The Times of India. In a question answer session with journalists, when asked about lack of participation from states in fighting Naxals, Trivedi said, "For some states, continuing Naxal violence is beneficial. It helps them get central funds. And then it's not their men who die but those from outside the state (central force personnel)." Sources said the DG was hinting at Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Odisha. While speaking on how the force was dealing with Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blasts, Trivedi said, "The easier way of fighting IEDs is to ensure Maoists do not get explosives easily. But the government is not serious about regulation of explosives' sale. State governments have to stop explosives from reaching Maoists." Asked whether he thought even CRPF needed a special law, like Armed Force Special Power Act (AFSPA), given that it was working in fairly hostile and tough conditions, Trivedi said, "We don't need AFSPA. The CrPC provides enough protection to forces fighting militants. India already has too many laws." When quizzed on why he had refused to participate on two committees set up to restructure CRPF, Trivedi narrated a long story, summing up that committees were a waste of public money and government time. He also said the government had spent huge amounts of money conducting Indian Institute of Management (IIM) studies on problems of the force to arrive at conclusions that they force already knew. "They could have just asked us. But the problem is we are not consulted. Consultants are hired who charge lakhs of rupees," said Trivedi.

Koya Praveen, Superintendent of Police (SP), Visakhapatnam District, strongly contested the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) allegation that the Police was mobilising the Girijans in the interior parts of the Agency area for a Salwa Judum (an anti-Maoist vigilante group) type of operation against the Maoists, reports The Hindu. Addressing media in Visakhapatnam on November 28, he said that the news reports published in various dailies on November 28, were based on a press communication released by the Maoists and it was unfounded. “Arming or training the villagers or the Girijans for an operation against the Maoist was against law and there is no need for us to do so,” he said. He went on to add that the Maoists were unable to digest the Viravaram incident, where the local people rebelled against them and clobbered to death one area commander and a militia member. “They (Maoists) are now indulging in false propaganda. In fact the press release was released in the name of one Kailasam, who was killed in an encounter four years ago. All communications are being released by Ramchandra Reddy alias Pratap Reddy alias Chalapathi in the name of Kailasam,” he said.

National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Bengal authorities on November 28, sought court permission for five-day Police remand of three top Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) operatives so that they can be questioned by a visiting Bangladeshi intelligence team, according to The Times of India. In the past hours, security personnel of Bangladesh have questioned some key suspects in the October 2 Bardhaman blast, particularly the 'head of 65th unit' (Bengal unit) of JMB Sk Rehmatullah alias Sajid. They are also likely to question Abdul Hamid, who survived the blast. The team is in West Bengal to share field-level intelligence with Indian counterparts to track down JMB militants hiding in the state. Sources said the Bangladeshi sleuths seek four answers from the JMB trio: how the outfit regrouped in Bengal after the massive crackdown in Bangladesh; its funding links; the extent and spread of the group in Bangladesh; and whether it has already gained the capacity to target VVIPs in Bangladesh, like the Prime Minister and Opposition leader. NIA and Bangladeshi security agencies are also trying to gauge the level of infiltration JMB has among the Rohingyas of Myanmar that has security implications for both nations.

The West Bengal Police didn't pay sufficient attention to October 2, 2014 blast in Khagragarh (Bardhaman) due to lack of sufficient manpower and inadequate training, J.N. Choudhury, Director General of National Security Guard (NSG), stated on November 28, reports The Times of India. According to him, the civil Police Force in West Bengal and some other states require additional manpower and proper training. States also need to implement the Supreme Court's directions on reduction of pressure on policemen. "The Police in Bardhaman admitted after the blast that they were not in any position to pay too much attention to the blast in Khagragarh. One has to appreciate that the police were busy with the Pujas and Eid at that time. The police didn't have the manpower or training to deal with the situation. There may have been some other pressure that made things much more difficult," Choudhury commented. According to Choudhury, the United Nations (UN) recommends that there should be 220 Policemen per 100,000 population. In comparison, there are only 107 Policemen for every 100,000 population in India. In some states, including West Bengal, the number is as low as 60.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has admitted that its cadres are deserting the party and are getting attracted towards the “bankrupt” surrender policy employed by the Government, reports The Hindu on November 30. “It is true that some of our ‘weak’ cadres are getting attracted towards the bankrupt and corrupt surrender policy of the government and laying down their arms,” Gudsa Usendi, the spokesperson of the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC) of the CPI-Maoist, said in a press statement. The Maoist statement has come in the wake of a spate of alleged Maoist surrenders in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. Accusing Chhattisgarh police of “threatening and forcing” people to surrender, Mr. Usendi said that the police propaganda through the media was an attempt to “defame” the Maoist party and to put “psychological pressure” on Maoist ranks.

Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh on Saturday told the heads of state Police Forces and intelligence agencies that the threat from al Qaeda to convert the Indian subcontinent into an Islamic one was real, reports The Times of India. He said the Muslims of the country, who sacrificed as much as the Hindus in the freedom struggle, will not accept this. "There is no doubt that society will stand united and al-Qaida will not succeed in its designs," he added. Rajnath's inaugural speech pointed out the new threats are from Islamic radicalism through Al Qaeda's new wing, Qaedat al-Jihad, and the Islamic State (IS). "Although the IS was born out of Syria and Iraq, the Indian sub-continent cannot remain untouched by this menace and we need to understand this. It is also a matter of concern that some Indian youths have been attracted to the ISIS. But the government is committed to checking it," he added. "The al-Qaida has formed a new wing called Qaida-al-Jihad for the Indian sub-continent with the intention to bring Bangladesh, parts of Assam, Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir under one Islamic sub-continent. We are not taking the threats lightly," said the UHM.

An outbreak of malaria in Bastar region has severely impacted the Security Forces (SFs) on the Maoist front, reports The Indian Express. At least one Policeman, Govind Tamga, has died and over 400 have been affected by the disease in the last 10 days. Besides the personnel, a huge number of villagers have been hit by the disease. The situation is compounded by the lack of medicare in Bastar as the region has only one major hospital in Jagdalpur, which lacks capacity to treat the influx of patients. The male ward of the hospital is brimming over and over 50 personnel of the State Police and the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) have to lie on the floor. The Bastar IG has asked the government to provide immediate help. “Our operations have been affected. We have asked the state government to immediately take note of the situation and ensure medicare for policemen,” said IG S R P Kalluri. Such has been the impact that at least two anti-Naxal operations in the region were to be curtailed last week as the personnel were hit by the disease in forests, forcing the commanding officers to order an immediate retreat. While some policemen, whose condition turned serious, have been airlifted to Raipur, at least 200 are still in police camps of interior areas and yet to receive medicare.

Areeb Majeed, Islamic State (IS) operative revealed the names of the local contacts, who allegedly provided him the logistics to join the group to take part in the battle in Iraq, National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials said on November 30, reports The Times of India. "Majeed was today grilled for several hours when he revealed the names of the local contacts, who radicalised him and his three other friends here, and helped them fly to Iraq. We are verifying his claims and are trying to locate these local contacts," a NIA official said. Asked for how many months he participated in the battle on the ground, Majeed said he was completely ignored and asked to clean the toilets and arrange water for those battling with the security forces. He told the investigators that despite his immediate supervisor's request, the IS cadres did not allow him to participate in the battle. His resolve to take part in the war weakened after he was left unattended for his bullet injury for three days before being taken to a hospital, he told them. "Only after I begged them, I was taken to a hospital. I was treating myself, but the injury was worsening as there was no proper medication or food available in the camps," Majeed told investigators. "There was neither a holy war nor any of the preachings in the holy book were followed. IS fighters raped many a woman there," Majeed said while responding to one of the questions, an NIA official said. Admitting that he and his three friends from Kalyan underwent training on handling of AK-47 and rocket launchers, Majeed claimed the Indians were considered to be physically weak. Majeed also told interrogators that his indoctrination began after he visited an internet chat room. He was inspired to join the terrorist group and given the phone number of a person, whose men picked him up from Mosul in Iraq. The three other youths, all in their twenties, who left their Kalyan homes with Majeed to join IS were also reportedly indoctrinated through chat rooms. In the chat room, he got the number of one Abu Ali and was told to contact him only when he reached Mosul, Majeed has told his interrogators. After he joined the ISI in Iraq, he was asked to supervise construction work in their territories since he was studying civil engineering. But he expressed a desire to fight and was trained in operating AK-47s and rocket launchers. He got injured during practice and was sent to a treatment facility where he was reportedly ignored, prompting him to flee. NDTV adds that Majeed, told investigators the IS was looking east towards to India, for which it has "special plans". Also he said the "new world order" under the IS was something "everyone should fight for". "Areeb's level of radicalisation is scary," a senior intelligence officer stated. "The only ones who come close are the foreign terrorists, mainly from Afghanistan of the now defunct group Harkat-ul-Jihadi Islami, who were arrested from Jammu and Kashmir in the mid 90's," the officer added. But investigators suspected that the IS had a motive in releasing him, that the youth had been tasked with spreading jihadi doctrine in India.

Describing Baghdadi militia and Al Qaeda as serious security challenges for India, Director of Intelligence Bureau (IB) Asif Ibrahim on November 30 said the Indian diaspora has become increasingly vulnerable to elements having allegiance to terror groups, reports Oman Tribune. “The rapid territorial gain and the influence of caliphate on one hand glamorises the image of the group (Baghdadi militia), while on the other it enhances its capability,” Ibrahim commented. Ibrahim said vulnerable groups and fringe elements from more than 80 countries have gone to the region (Iraq-Syria) to participate in the conflict. “We have deliberated the serious issue on Saturday and felt that the threat is likely to accentuate as the situation unfolds further in future. Indian diaspora has become increasingly vulnerable in the days to come,” he added. Ibrahim also said the Internet has become a tool for radicalisation of Indian youths.
