Gadchiroli District Police arrested 52-year-old Prashant Rahi alias Prashant Sanglikar, an Uttarakhand-based journalist-turned-activist, along with Vijay Teerki of Chhattisgarh, for their alleged links with the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on September 1, reports The Times of India. Both of them were picked up from the Deori bus-stand in Gondia District while they were "heading to Naxal-stronghold Abujmadh to meet a central committee (CC) member", according to the Police. The two were produced before a Gadchiroli court which remanded them to police custody for 13 days. Sources in Gadchiroli Police said they learnt about Rahi's mission from Hem Mishra, a former Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) student who was arrested on August 22 from near Morewada village in Aheri, south Gadchiroli. The court also extended the remand of Mishra for another 13 days. Rahi, who was one of the main campaigners during the Tehri dam protest in the '80s and '90s, attended school and college in Mumbai and then moved on to complete his engineering degree from Benaras Hindu University in Uttar Pradesh. His daughter Sikha assisted actor Aamir Khan in Hindi movie Taare Zameen Par.

Governor J B Patnaik on September 1 said that Independent faction of United Liberation front of Asom’s (ULFA-I) leader Paresh Baruah and members of his group will not be “harassed” by security agencies if they come forward for peace talks with the government for finding a lasting solution to the insurgency in Assam, reports The Shillong Times. “Once they decide to come to the negotiating table, then there will be no question of taking action against them. They would not be harassed (by security agencies),” Patnaik told PTI in New Delhi. Expressing satisfaction over progress of peace talks, Patnaik termed the group led by Rajkhowa [Pro-talks faction of ULFA (ULFA-PTF)] as “real ULFA” and said there may be some significant announcement “soon” on the outcome of the dialogue held so far. However, he refused to divulge any details in this regard.

Six Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were injured as protestors turned violent during the first day of 36-hour Dhemaji District bandh (general shot down) called by the Anamishing Janagushtiya Sangram Samiti (AJSS) [loosely translated as Non-Mising People Struggle Forum], at Khanamukh area on September 1, reports The Telegraph. Police arrested eight protesters during the bandh. The strike was called against the inclusion of the non-Mising areas in Mishing Autonomous Council (MAC) area list, adds Times of India. AJSS consists of All Tai Ahom Students Union (ATASU) along with 16 other ethnic tribal groups. Further, ATASU Dhemaji unit ‘president’ Manoj Gogoi said, "The government has included some non-Mishing dominated areas under the MAC. It is our rightful demand that these areas be excluded from the council. But, the administration is trying to foil our agitation. So, we have decided to take up a series of protest programmes from Monday in support of our demand. We have also called a 100-hour Dhemaji District bandh from September 16."

The ‘operational head’ of Indian Mujahideen (IM) on Indian soil, Yasin Bhatkal, who was arrested on August 28, claimed during his interrogation that he wanted to fight North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) forces in Afghanistan as an 18-year-old when the United State (US) launched its campaign against Taliban following the 9/11 attacks. Yasin also told interrogators that in the 2012 Pune blasts, where four bombs placed on Jungli Maharaj Road of Pune led to minor explosions, he was trying to experiment with digital timers. He said in order to ensure that the bomb did not fail; he made two circuits, one of which was a back-up to ignite the bomb in case the other failed.

The Chhattisgarh Government has told the Election Commission (EC) that as many as 233 polling stations across 18 Districts face a high Naxal [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)] threat and it may be risky for polling parties to access them in the coming assembly elections, reports The Times of India on September 2. During the EC's interaction with Chhattisgarh administration in Raipur last week, senior state officials requested the poll panel to consider relocating or rationalizing these polling stations in interior villages across 12 Naxal-infested assembly segments of south Chhattisgarh and also the northern Districts of Sarguja and Rajnandgaon. They sought shifting of these booths to safer locations like the Panchayat/Gram Sabha (village level local self-government institution) office or their amalgamation with polling stations set up in populated areas with road connectivity.

NDFB-IKS warned the ‘colonial rulers of India’ and ‘outsiders’ who have been living in tribal belts and blocks not to go against the interest of the Bodos in the region, reports The Sentinel on September 3. The NDFB-IKS claimed that the Bodos were the aboriginal people of the Western South–East Asia, so called–NE region. In a press statement issued by the spokesman of the NDFB-IKS, BR Ferrenga strongly condemned the statement of All Assam Bengali Youth Students’ Federation (AABYSF) for using harsh word ‘Nefarious’ against them. The NDFB-IKS warned the AABYSF and other organizations who are opposing them, not to do advocacy, as the Indian agents have been working against the Bodos. “Since you are coming as traders in our land (some of them are as labour and so on), do your business. We have no enmity with the businessmen but do not put allegations on the NDFB as kidnapper and extortionist”, Ferrenga said adding that imposition of taxes on the people of Bodoland is their right. So, if someone denies giving Bodoland taxes or betraying them as Indian agent, they would not be excused, he added.

The Central Government on September 3 held the first round of talks with two Koch-Rajbongshi groups separately on their primary demand for a separate state of Kamatapur and suggested that they prioritize their other demand for tribal status above the statehood demand. Both the groups termed this as a positive response from the government. "The talks started on a positive note. We understand that the government cannot give us a separate state immediately. Joint secretary of the Union Home Ministry (MHA) Shambhu Singh told us that we need to first focus on our demand for tribal status and then the other demand for a separate state. He explained that once we have the tribal status, our rights will be protected when the separate state is created in future. We are convinced with the logic," All Koch-Rajbongshi Students Union (AKRSU) ‘president’ Biswajit Ray The first meeting was held with the AKRSU in the morning and the second with the Koch-Rajbongshi Mahasabha in the afternoon at Hotel Ashok in New Delhi. Besides a separate state, the groups also demanded scheduled tribe status for Koch-Rajbongshis in the state and inclusion of their language in the 8th Schedule of the Constitution. “If we do not get our rights through democratic means as we have tried, we will take up arms,” AKRSU ‘president’ Biswajit Ray warned after the meeting with officials adds The Telegraph. “We are not willing to wait for one to three years as the government has told us. We want a speedy settlement,” he added.

Union Minister of Home Affairs (UMHA) Sushilkumar Shinde will meet top officials of the nine Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist)-affected States this month-end to review counter-Maoist operations and development initiatives on the ground, reports The Times of India on September 5. The chief secretaries and DGPs of Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh will brief the Ministry of Home Affairs on the Maoist situation in their respective States and discuss the need to revisit operational strategies. The progress of ongoing development works in the Maoist-infested areas will also be reviewed. Shinde is also expected to take stock of the Centrally-sponsored special schemes, including Integrated Action Plan (IAP), being implemented in most backward regions of the nine States. The Government had recently admitted that the some of the attacks carried out by Maoists in the past were successful due to security forces' failure to adhere to basic policing tactics. "An analysis of recent Naxal attacks discloses that the attacks could succeed mainly due to failure of adherence to basic policing tactics and practices by some of the state police forces," Union Minister of State for Home Affairs R P N Singh had told Parliament. There were 285 incidents of Naxal violence between May and July, in which 117 people lost their lives. Of the deceased, 47 were killed in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand (37) and Bihar (15).

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres severed the limbs of a farmer and then shot him dead near Hajipur, the headquarters of Vaishali District on September 5, for refusing to pay 'tax' to the outfit, reports Hindustan Times. The dismembered body of the farmer, Haresh Singh (50), was recovered--with two bullet wounds and a deep gash on the neck--on the busy Hajipur-Muzaffarpur highway, 8 kms north-east of Hajipur in Bihar. Police quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the Maoists, riding two motorcycles, tagged the victim and managed to corner him at Dhobighati pond when he was on a morning walk with a co-villager. Vaishali Superintendent of Police (SP) Suresh Prasad Choudhary said the victim had been on the target of CPI-Maoist as his name had figured in the pamphlets of the outfit recently. Maoists regularly serve demand notes to farmers and businessmen, levying different rates of 'taxes' to fill their war coffers. Refusal to pay is often met with violent retribution but not before a few warnings.

Nearly 10,000 children, including girls, have been "recruited" by Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) across Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Bihar and Jharkhand to serve as intelligence gatherers or perform chores as cooks and couriers, reports The Times of India. Though these minor recruits — mostly aged between 10 to 15 — don't carry arms, they are given the basic training to handle weapons. While around 3,000-4,000 children alone stand enrolled into "bal sangham" in Chhattisgarh and Odisha, the young hands working for Maoists in Jharkhand and Bihar are organized under 'bal dasta'. The modus operandi of recruiting these minors involves prevailing upon the local tribal families to "give up" one of their children to the CPI-Maoist, by highlighting displacement issues and "police atrocities on their brethren". Usually, the villagers have little choice but to oblige. Not only this, if the children stage an escape back to their homes, their families face a violent reprisal from the Maoists. Intelligence sources told TOI that the main job of the child recruits is to gather information for the Maoists. Bal sangham in the Dandkaranya region has been operational since 1995. In Odisha, the recruitments are mainly undertaken in Koraput and Malkangiri Districts. The Chasi Mulia Adivasi Sangh, a Maoist front organisation, had recently recruited and inducted several children in Narayanpatna Police Station area of Koraput. In Bihar, the erstwhile Maoist Communist Centre (MCC), now merged into CPI-Maoist, had been recruiting children between eight-14 for its "bal dasta". The CPI-Maoist continues to draft children mainly from Districts like Aurangabad, Rohtas, Kaimur and East Champaran. In Jharkhand, the recruitment of children has been reported from Palamu, Chatra, Lohardagga and Latehar Districts.

Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC) chairman, Hagrama Mohilary on September 7 termed the ongoing statehood agitations by various groups as political gimmick aimed at deriving benefits during the 2014 parliamentary elections, reports The Telegraph. He admitted that his demand for state, too, had a political agenda, like “the others”. Mohilary’s statement comes two days after an 11-member team of the Bodoland Peoples Front (BPF), of which he is the president, and a 13-member team of the Bodo National Conference (BNC) held tripartite talks on “Bodoland” with Central and Assam government officials on September 5. Mohilary said he had to raise his voice for a separate Bodoland as the Bodo people wanted it. “The Bodo public wants Bodoland and as a Bodo person and a leader of political party, I had to join the chorus like the others parties and organisations. Otherwise, the Bodo people will hate me, go against me,” he said. Besides the consistent demand for Bodoland state “on the lines of Telangana”, one of the principal demands of BPF is transferring subjects of finance and law and order to the BTC.BTC has jurisdiction over the Bodo Territorial Autonomous District (BTAD) consisting of four contiguous Districts of Assam — Kokrajhar, Baksa, Udalguri and Chirang

The Supreme Court (SC) on September 9 sought responses from the Centre and nine States on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) alleging that the Integrated Action Plan (IAP) to wrest control of Naxal [Left Wing Extremist (LWE)]-affected areas and undertake development there has not been implemented properly, reports The Times of India. A bench of Chief Justice P Sathasivam and Ranjana P Desai issued notices to Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal on the PIL by Kishore Samrite. The petitioner said though the Centre had decided to extend IAP for four more years with annual allocation of INR 10 billion, it was facing implementation hurdles because of internal differences between various ministries in the Union Government. According to the fresh proposal, each of the 82 IAP Districts would be given INR 50 million annually for the purpose and the remaining INR 5.9 billion would be distributed among the Districts on the basis of their population and area.

The Home Department of Karnataka has initiated a Police recruitment drive to fill up a large part of the existing vacancies and thereafter, augment the strength of the Police which has been static for nearly a decade irrespective of the increase in population, reports The Hindu on September 11. Minister for Home K.J. George told The Hindu that “I am keen on ensuring effective policing and it will have a direct impact resulting in a better interface between the people and the police. Of the nearly 20,000 vacancies (largely that of police constables and sub-inspectors), directions have been issued to recruit nearly a half of them right away. Compared to 3,731 Police Constables recruited in 2012, over 8,000 constables will be recruited this year”. It is another matter that recruitment of Police constables and their commissioning into service takes nearly two years (six months to recruit and another one year to train) as they have to be put through a stringent process of training while in the case of sub-inspectors, the period of training is two years. For a population of nearly 63 million, the strength of the Police force is 94,762 which works out to one member of the Police for every 650 of population and is way below the ratio in the neighbouring States of Tamil Nadu (one for every 608), Maharashtra (614) and Andhra Pradesh (642). The effort now is to raise it to at least one Police personnel to a population of 500. At present, there is one Police Training Academy in the State, one training college and four permanent training institutes apart from the 19 temporary police training schools established in various districts and the police commissionerates of Bangalore, Mangalore and Hubli-Dharwad. George said, “We are utilising the services of KSRP [Karnataka State Reserve Police] personnel to maintain law and order. There are 13 battalions of the Karnataka State Reserve Police with 1,000 personnel each but they cannot be put on routine police work. The 13th battalion of the KSRP was commissioned sometime ago after rigorous training at Koppal.”

The Shillong Times reports that a procession was taken out at the Mizoram-Manipur border Suangpuilawn village on September 13 pressing for the signing of peace agreement between the Mizoram Government and the Hmar People’s Convention-Democracy (HPC-D) militants. Resolutions adopted after the procession expressed the desire that the State Government and the HPC-D would sign an agreement to bring permanent solution to the Hmar problems. “Though the people are against balkanisation of Mizoram, we demand implementation of the Mizoram government – HPC agreement signed in 1994 which stipulated that all the areas not under the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution should be included by creation of autonomous district councils,” the resolutions said. The peace talks between the state government and the HPC-D reached a deadlock last month after the two parties failed to agree on the period of extension of the Suspension of Operations (SoO).

Amid growing demands for new states in the aftermath of the Telangana decision, a little known outfit, Maraland Democratic Front (MDF), has now demanded the division of Mizoram, reports The Telegraph on September 16. MDF, a political outfit formed in the 1970s, wants the Mara Autonomous District Council under the Sixth Schedule to be declared a Union Territory. The district council in south Mizoram lies at the tri-junction of India, Myanmar and Bangladesh. Less than 1,500 square km in area but in an ethnically and strategically important location, a demand from there has been noticed by North Block. There are apprehensions in a section of the government about the MDF’s language and its fallout in neighbouring councils. The Lai Autonomous Council, sources said from Aizawl, is thinking on similar lines. “We are on the verge of demanding Union Territory status,” said an official of the Lai council. Comprising primarily of Maras and some Chakmas, the MDF recently approached Prime Minister (PM) Manmohan Singh and Union Home Minister (UHM) Sushil Kumar Shinde. In a memorandum to Singh, the MDF alluded to its refusal to support the Mizo insurgency while the Mara area was cut off from the Centre for two decades. The group has said after remaining 61 years in the district council, “upgrade of our political status to Union Territory is our political right”. Preservation of identity is the rationale for the demand.

One person from Assam is now a key member of the terrorist outfit Laskar-e-Taiba (LeT) but there was no report of him visiting the State in recent years, The Assam Tribune September 16. It is also suspected that he may have encouraged others from the State to join the outfit. Highly placed Police sources stated that the LeT leader from Assam is known as Rakib and he hails from Rangiya area. He left Assam in 1992 to join the terrorist group and now he is known to be a key member of the outfit. However, his whereabouts are not known and according to reports available with the police and security agencies, he never operated in the State. But the possibility of Rakib getting in touch with youths from the State from outside to motivate them to join the outfit cannot be ruled out. Police also suspects that a number of boys from the State have joined terrorist outfits like LeT, Indian Mujahidin (IM) and Harkat ul Mujahedeen (HuM). “We have some inputs that a few boys from Assam joined outfits, like LeT, HUM and IM but it is a fact that they were never sent to Assam to launch operations. Normally, those outfits never engage youths to operate in their own States,” sources added. Sources revealed that there were reports of movements of IM members through Assam, but they have not been able to indulge in any major act of violence in the State.

Even as the Ranjan Daimary faction of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-RD) is in the process of preparing the list of its cadre and arsenal, some of its members are believed to join IK Songbijit faction of NDFB (NDFB-IKS), reports Times of India on September 17. According to intelligence sources, although the NDFB-RD faction had submitted a list of its cadres earlier, the Government has asked the outfit to provide photographs and mobile numbers of the cadres also for verification process. The faction has been asked to do so within September 30.Presently, NDFB-RD is said to have cadre strength of at least 500 militants, including about 70 female cadres - armed with sophisticated weapons. However, sources said some of the members have already left Assam and joined the hardline NDFB-IKS led by IK Songbijit."Some members have already violated the norms of the peace process and started resorting to crimes like abduction and extortion in the state. We have inputs that a group of these cadres, who had earlier agreed to the ceasefire, have also moved to Bhutan. We also have reports that some of them have joined the Songbijit faction of the NDFB," said an intelligence officer. The designated camps for the NDFB-RD are likely to be set up in Udalguri, Baska and Chirang and not more than 175 cadres would be kept in one camp. Video surveillance facilities would be installed in all the camps to monitor the activities of these people belonging to the Ranjan faction of the outfit. All the cadres would be provided a stipend of Rs 3,000 each, sources said.

Documents seized from an alleged Naxal-[Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] courier Hem Mishra, a student of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), have revealed that the country's premier educational institute is becoming a hub of LWEs, security agencies have claimed, reports The Times of India on September 18.

A former PhD student of history from Assam, earlier an active member of party cell, is now part of the Naxals' core team based at Abujmadh in Chhattisgarh. Sources claimed that the cadre had been christened by Naxals as Navin. "Navin was present on Facebook. He might have got some inkling about security agencies stalking him in cyberspace. The Facebook account was soon deleted but we believe he would be present through pseudonyms in social networking systems to remain in touch with his colleagues," said a senior officer.

The Meghalaya United Alliance (MUA), consisting of the legislators of Congress, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Independents has struck down the demand of 10 pressure groups to implement ILP system in the State. Briefing reporters after a meeting of MUA held at his official residence in the night of September 17, Chief Minister Mukul Sangma asserted that issue of illegal migration cannot be addressed by ILP. The meeting analysed the report of the High Level Committee (HLC) on Influx which favoured implementation of ILP. However, the MUA rejected the recommendation of the Committee. Sangma said in the context of addressing influx effectively, Government would bring the new legislation, Tenancy Act which was unanimously accepted by the members of MUA. Ruling out possibility of talks with 10 pro-ILP groups, Sangma has hinted that the Government could invoke the ban on bandhs (shut down strike) and other forms of agitations as ruled by Supreme Court and Gauhati High Court, reports The Shillong Times on September 19.

The Sangai Express reports on September 18 that denying involvement in the September 13 bomb blast at Nagamapal area that claimed the lives of nine migrant workers, coordination Committee (CorCom) of six militant groups said the explosion being deliberately triggered by Indian agents to lay the blame on insurgent outfits cannot be ruled out. A statement issued by its media coordinator, H Poirei said CorCom considers that the blast merits clarification as there is no change on the conglomerate's stand that non-locals should have left Manipur by December 2012. As the CorCom declaration still remains, there might be speculation from certain quarters about involvement of constituent partners in the recent blast, Poirei explained while expressing that Government of Manipur needs to work out a mechanism to restrict entry of non-locals into the State in order to prevent similar incidents.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) plan to limit the use of abduction as a tactic to mount pressure on the Government to extract political benefits as well as release of their jailed comrades, reports The Times of India on September 19. The targets for abduction would be chosen carefully that would get the Government to surrender. The target will not be held hostage for too long or released if the Government does not give into the left-wing extremists' demands. Instead, the hostage will be killed shortly after abduction. This was decided at the recent fourth Central Committee (CC) meeting held after a gap of two years. In the CC meeting resolutions, Maoists said, "When we want to get important leaders released, we choose the target (class enemies) that would get the government to surrender. We must not give lot of time to the government to fulfil the demand. When we understand the government is taking an adamant stand, we must annihilate the people's enemy in our custody and withdraw from our area of struggle," The Maoists have also resolved not to appoint mediators to negotiate with the Government on their behalf. The CC meeting resolution said, "If we feel it is necessary, it would be better not to appoint liberal democrats (such as B D Sharma, Hargopal etc)". The Maoists believe mediators who work for them get branded and "they would face some limitations in working with other intellectual and democratic sections". Besides, these mediators would be vulnerable to harassment by police and security agencies. CC meeting documents reveal Maoists admitted the abductions have dented their image and turned many against them. The Maoists have also decided that senior party leaders must be involved in all abductions and take responsibility.

The joint intelligence committee of the Centre has accused Bihar Government of being soft on the CPI-Maoist resulting in a 41% increase in killings by Maoists this year compared to the previous year, reports The Times of India. The intelligence agencies have informed the Centre and the Prime Minister that Bihar Government has not taken effective steps to control Red terror. A report submitted by the committee says, "There has been continual deterioration in most parameters of the counterinsurgency grid in Bihar. Bihar government is soft towards the Maoists." The report has mentioned that 38 persons, including 25 civilians and 13 securitymen, were killed this year, compared to 25 last year. It says while there has been a substantial decline in Maoist violence in the country, Bihar has registered an increase. "Our concern is not only a sharp increase in security forces' casualties but also the fact that not a single Maoist cadre has been killed in counterinsurgency operations this year, compared to five during the same period last year," the report says. The performance of anti-Maoist grid in the state has been decidedly weak. While 17 encounters with Maoists took place in 2011, the number of cross-firings between security forces and Maoists decreased to 12 in 2012 and till August this year, only six encounters took place in Bihar. Moreover, recovery of weapons has also shown a downward trend - from 171 in 2011 to 47 in 2013. Though 32 out of 38 Districts of Bihar are Maoist-affected, the Maoist violence this year was confined to only 16 Districts. The most affected areas are Gaya, Aurangabad and Jamui Districts.

In a move to gain control over the rich bauxite mining zones of Niyamgiri area of Rayagada District and Karlapat area of Kalahandi District, the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) created a ‘special division’ for these areas to prevent the mining companies to explore and exploit the resources, reports The Pioneer on September 20. Earlier, the Maoists were using the jungles of Kalahandi and Nuapada Districts as their corridor to move out from Chhattisgarh, but now they are concentrating in these areas with a full-fledged division. Recently, the Maoist in Odisha also reorganised their State-level Committee and, in absence of any Odia leading the team, its leadership has gone to Maoists from Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. Nikhil from Chhattisgarh and Krishna from Andhra Pradesh are now taking the lead with around 80 to 100 cadres in the State. Now, the Bargarh-Balangir-Mahasamund, Nuapada, Sambalpur-Deogarh and Kalinga Divisions have been set up under the Odisha State Organising Committee.

The Shillong Times reports that the Garo national Liberation Army (GNLA) has called dawn-to-dusk bandh (shut down strike) on September 25 and 26 from 5 am to 4 pm in the entire Garo Hills region, alleging that the Government was not paying attention to their various demands. In a statement issued on September 22, the publicity secretary of GNLA, Pantera Singgasik, said that instead of giving any attention to the demands of the GNLA, the Government is launching intensive operations against them. A separate State for Garos within the framework of the Indian Constitution is the key demand of the GNLA. The GNLA also ruled out any surrender with arms but added that they were ready to abjure violence at any time after positive political dialogue with the Government. Supporting the separate Statehood movement of the Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) under the banner of the Garo Hills State Movement Committee (GHSMC), the GNLA leader wanted to know why the Government had sent as many as 23 democratic protesters to jail.

The Telegraph reports on September 23 that Thai gunrunner, Willy Naruenartwanich alias Willy Narue, arrested in Bangkok on August 30, 2013, has revealed “key information” about the supply chain for smuggling arms from China to the Northeast through Bangladesh. An official source told The Telegraph that preliminary questioning of the accused by Thai authorities has revealed that he, along with the leaders of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM), had hatched a plan to send a huge consignment of arms and ammunitions from China to the Northeast. “Willy had told Thai police that the arms consignment was to start from Beihei port in South China Sea near Vietnam to Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. On the high seas, the consignment was to be shifted to small fishing trawlers to reach Bangladesh, and then to the Northeast,” he said. Willy Narue, who figures on the wanted list of National Investigation Agency (NIA), was picked up by Thai authorities from Bangkok on August 30 following India’s request.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said Indian Mujahideen (IM) co-founder Yasin Bhatkal, who is in their custody, revealed he had met Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leaders in Nepal before the serial blasts that rocked Bodh Gaya in Gaya District of Bihar on July 7, 2013, reports Mumbai Mirror. Bhatkal had reportedly surveyed the area around the Mahabodhi temple a year before the blasts took place. The explosive devices used in the blasts resemble the bombs used by Maoists. Until Bhatkal's confession, the NIA had been probing the blasts, considering three possibilities - international infiltration, Maoist involvement and local communal issues. The NIA had even put 100 foreign students studying and doing research in several departments of Magadh University in Bihar on its radar. "During his interrogation, Bhatkal revealed that Pakistan's intelligence agency has been working on a multipronged strategy to spread terror in India. For this, they are trying to rope in the Naxals as well," said an NIA source.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing al Qaeda for carrying out serial blasts in Bodh Gaya after key Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Yasin Bhatkal, who was arrested on August 28, 2013, told interrogators that Ayman al-Zawahiri-led global terror outfit already has a group operating in India, reported The Times of India on September 24. “Yasin Bhatkal says an al Qaeda module is already active in India. According to Yasin, Naib Ameer or deputy chief of IM Riyaz Bhatkal was informed about the presence of the al Qaeda group in India by a senior associate of Ayman al-Zawahiri in Afghanistan in March this year.

A report submitted to the Government has said that banned terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) was behind the attack in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) on September 26, in which 13 persons were killed, reported NDTV on September 27. Al-Shahada (the Martyrs) group has claimed the responsibility for the attack, but security agencies say they aren't taking the claim seriously. "We aren't attaching little credence to the claim," said an unnamed senior official. Security agencies are basing their claim on the information given by Roshan Lal Sharma, a driver who was forced to commandeer the tempo-truck used by the terrorists to enter Hiranagar Police Station in Kathua District. The driver has reportedly told the investigators that the terrorists were speaking in Urdu-laced Punjabi. "We know for a fact that majority LeT cadres are from Punjab region," said an official. The officials say that the modus operandi of the attack also points to the involvement of the LeT, which carried out two similar attacks in 2008. Moreover, security agencies have also reasoned that the Lashkar has, in the past tried, to disrupt National Highway-1, which connects the Kashmir valley to Jammu and is therefore one of the most crucial road links. "It fits into a pattern that we have seen earlier. Also, weapons recovered from the killed militants - three AK-47 rifles, one pistol, eight grenades and 12 magazines - have the traditional trade mark of the LeT," a senior official said. The LeT is known to carry out spectacular attacks with meticulous training, planning and minimal weapons.

All 16 CCTV cameras at Malkangiri District Sub-jail in Odisha are lying defunct for past one year, reports The Times of India on September 27. Sub-jail Superintendent Gopinath Chowdhury said "We have informed the higher-ups about non-functioning of the cameras, but they are yet to be repaired." The cameras were installed in 2010 to increase surveillance and check untoward incidents on the jail premises. By mid-2012, these developed snag and no longer serve their purpose. The security at the Sub-jail, which houses a large number of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, has come under the scanner in the wake of possible Maoist attacks to rescue cadres, languishing in jails across the State. The Sub-jail is also grappling with staff shortage. The posts of a Sub-Assistant jailor and three warders are lying vacant for over one year. Officials said while the intake capacity of the prison was increased from 89 to 308 in 2012, adequate staff has not been posted yet. "Given the number of Maoists lodged in the jail, we need at least two more platoons of armed police force," the jail superintendent added.

However, Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) chargesheet claims the bombs were assembled by Himayat Baig in his cyber cafe in Latur (Maharashtra) and that he travelled all the way to Mumbai's Musafirkhana market to buy timers and bags to carry them. ATS investigations have also claimed that the bombs were carried by Baig from Latur to Pune on the day of the blasts in a bus. Yasin, however, has told interrogators that it was he who procured explosives and assembled the bombs. He has said the explosives were procured with help from IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal while he bought bags and timers locally. He has said he assembled the bombs in Pune, stuffed them in bags and gave one to his associate Qateel Siddiqui to plant it at Dagdusheth Halwai temple. While Yasin was successful in executing the blasts at German Bakery, Siddiqui failed to plant it at the temple and fled to Mumbai with it. There, after dumping it in the sea, he went to Jhansi where he met Yasin again. Siddiqui was later killed in Pune's Yerwada jail.
