With investigation into the international racket pumping in Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) in the state (Assam) proceeding at snail's pace, state Police have been struggling to check the menace, reports The Times of India on September 2. The reports said that the situation is so critical that out of total 352 cases that have been registered against FICN denotation suppliers since 2010 till June 2015, only six were convicted. A Home department official said, "During the same period, at least 388 persons were arrested across the state. State Police have prepared charge sheets in only 189 cases." Not even a single accused was convicted or sentenced since 2013. Out of the total six convicted in the last five years, two were found guilty in 2011 and four in 2012. A top Police official said "Most of the arrested were merely smugglers only, whereas the king pin of such rackets operate from outside the country. Investigation suffers when it comes to an international territory." According to intelligence reports, Pakistan-based militant groups, with the help of several insurgents in Myanmar and Bangladesh, have been pumping in counterfeit notes to India. Sources said militant groups in the Northeast get huge funds from the FICN trade. The official said, "Police are involved in checking traditional crimes like insurgency and ethnic clashes. Fake currency has not become a priority of the force yet."

Two youth from Kerala have been deported by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after they posted pro-Islamic State (IS) comments on Facebook, reports NDTV on September 3. Sources said that the Facebook posts indicated that they had been "radicalized." The two men are reportedly part of a group of 10 Indians being monitored closely in the UAE for sharing terror group Islamic State's propaganda on social media. The UAE has sent the two men back to India, but has not registered cases against them. It has also not revealed their names citing security reasons. Oneindia.com adds that the two youth are Kochi based. On their return to Kochi, they were taken in by the Intelligence Agencies for questioning. After being questioned, the agencies found that they were misguided and decided to let them go home with a warning. The two youth will now be counseled and a close watch will be kept on them. The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) is opposed to the idea of booking cases against such youth. They were in the process of committing an offence while trying to join the ISIS, a Home Ministry official informed.

As many as 11 Indian nationals are under detention in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) since early August on charges of planning to join the Islamic State (IS) and recruiting, financing and providing logistics to those willing to joining the terror outfit, reports The Times of India on September 4. According to intelligence sources, the UAE security services came across two groups of people hailing from India, based in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, who were involved in sharing and discussing issues pertaining to IS on social media. They were also reportedly trying to establish online contact with IS leaders. The groups on watch, though dominated by Indians, included a couple of Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals. The report further said that, of those detained, eight were in Abu Dhabi and five in Dubai. A Pakistani and a Bangladeshi national were also held. The charges cited for the detentions included recruiting, funding and providing logistics to those interested in being part of IS. According to intelligence reports, the UAE authorities suspect that the 13 Indians were planning to travel, one by one, to Syria, possibly via Yemen or Turkey, and were in the process of organizing funds and logistics. The identification of 13 new IS recruits of Indian origin adds to the 17 Indians already known to have joined the jihadi outfit. Given how seriously the UAE views any attempts by its residents to associate with terror outfits like IS, Indian authorities were worried about the fate of its 13 citizens. Fortunately, two of the detainees, both hailing from Malabar region of Kerala, were deported on September 1, ostensibly after being "cleared" by the UAE authorities. New Delhi, however, is awaiting the fate of the 11 Indians still in UAE's custody. They have not being charged as yet.

The India government has finalized a robust policy for flying such objects, amidst revelations by several terrorists and investigations carried out by intelligence agencies on possible use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)/unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) for terrorist attacks, The Times of India reports on September 5. The new guidelines for the UAVs/UASs including paragliders, hot air balloons, remote-controlled flying devices, microlight aircrafts etc will be out soon, said sources. The threat from paragliders is borne by the interrogation of terrorists including Lashkar-e-Taiba's Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, Indian Mujahideen's (IM) Syed Ismael Afaque Lanka and Khalistani militant leader Jagtar Singh Tara. Jundal, revealed that LeT provides aerial training to select cadres. Independent inputs confirm Inter-Services Intelligence's (ISI's) role as well in training LeT cadres in parachute jumping. It is learnt that LeT is trying to procure equipment for paragliding from companies in China and UAE, besides falling back on in-house Pakistani companies to purchase the technology to build drones. In December 2014, intelligence inputs had indicated that LeT had paragliders ready to operate at two weeks' notice. The agencies, in investigations carried out in Spain, learnt that a motorized paraglider with a capacity to carry two persons was to be procured for PKR 10,00,000. The equipment could carry a payload of 150 kilogram and cover a distance of nearly 70 kilometre. Tara tasked one Gajinder Singh to receive the paragliding equipment in Pakistan. Spanish authorities confirmed that Spain resident Muhammad Umar Gondal had purchased a para-motor from a paraglider store in Costa de Sol area, mentioning an address in Sargodha, Pakistan, in the invoice. Gondal took the paraglider to Pakistan on June 30, 2014, when he claimed VAT refund on it. As per the plan, the paraglider was to be launched from Narowal area of Pakistan's Punjab during dusk time, with the intention of dropping the consignment into Indian territory. The paraglider would then make a return sortie, with the propeller fan switched off at a safe distance to avoid alerting the border agencies.

Gujarat tops the list of five Indian states that are considered the "safest" for circulating Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) allegedly pushed in by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) according to the latest data released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), The Statesman reports on September 6. Of the 30,354,604 FICN seized across the country, 87,47,820 were recovered from Gujarat in 2014. Chhattisgarh followed close on the heels with the seizure of 7,386,900 fake notes, while Andhra Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana saw recoveries of 5,437,600, 3,249,000 and 1,696,850 counterfeit notes. Police officers monitoring the circulation of FICN suspect that the ISI is pushing such notes in India which have a greater resemblance to India's high denomination INR 1,000 and INR 500 notes. The officers said that they have been noticing for the past few months that differences between genuine and counterfeit notes were reducing and that around five such differences have actually disappeared. "The paper being used to make the fake notes is now more similar. The stiffness is almost the same. The security thread (in the right half) on fake notes also resembles that on the genuine currency...The watermark (the portrait of Mahatma Gandhi in light and shade) has also been nearly matched," an officer, who did not want to be named, said. "The identification mark on the left of the note looks quite similar in counterfeit and genuine notes. The optical variable ink also looks similar," he added. Of the 30,354,604 counterfeit notes seized across the country, those in the INR 1,000 denomination was the highest at 19,895,000. The recovery of notes in the INR 500, INR 100 and INR 50 denominations across India was 9,490,500; 938,800 and 25,000. "All the border areas in India have been facing the problem with the circulation of fake notes trade and the drug trade," said the officer. Apart from the road and railway routes, the air route via Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as also China and Holland, are being used for smuggling in fake notes.

Five cases registered against Dawood Ibrahim and his aide Chhota Shakeel between 2003 and 2010 figure in the review petition filed by the Delhi Police, challenging a trial court's decision acquitting cricketers S Sreesanth, Ajit Chandila, Ankeet Chavan and all others accused in the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL) spot-fixing case, Economic Times reports on September 7. The Delhi Police special cell included these five cases filed in New Delhi and Mumbai to establish the link between Dawood's organised crime syndicate and activities such as betting and match-fixing during the IPL. The 53 page review petition filed in the Delhi High Court said: "The detailed... investigation revealed that the spot-fixing activities were going on in an organised manner. The network of these activities spread over Delhi and other places was being orchestrated by Dawood's syndicate." It said the trial court judge "returned a factually as also legally erroneous findings of the impugned order to the effect that Chhota Shakeel has not been shown to be a part of the crime syndicate of which Dawood was the head". The special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) judge, while discharging those accused, observed no nexus between Dawood and Shakeel had been established and thus an FIR against Shakeel "cannot be considered against every member of the alleged crime syndicate". The judge said the case "did not satisfy the mandatory requirement provided under Section 2(1) (d) of MCOCA for the offences to qualify as 'continuing unlawful activity".

Four years after a low intensity bomb exploded outside Delhi High Court on May 25, 2011, raising concerns about security of courts, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has closed the probe into the case and filed a closure report in court, reports The Times of India on September 7. Intelligence agencies and NIA probed the role of Indian Mujahideen (IM) members in the May 25 blast, as the bomb had the outfit's signature style. The official said several militants, members of sleeper cells in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and other places were examined but nothing came of the efforts. No terror outfit claimed responsibility for the blast. A bomb, packed with ammonium nitrate, shrapnel, fuel oil and a poorly tied electronic timer, was packed in a black bag and placed under a car on the afternoon of May 25, 2011 and it went off when advocates and litigants were thronging the High Court. The explosion came at a time when security agencies were grappling with the menace of IM, which had carried out serial blasts in several cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Varanasi, Pune, Ahmedabad and others.

With militancy showing no sign of abetting, the Central Government is exploring the possibility of sanctioning Arunachal Pradesh Government’s proposal for formation of Patkai Autonomous District Council covering the three sensitive Districts of Tirap, Changlang and Longding in Arunachal Pradesh, reports The Assam Tribune. Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh gave this assurance during a meeting of a delegation led by Chief Minister Nabam Tuki in New Delhi on September 6. The militants belonging to Independent faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-I), IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) and Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K), besides other militant groups have set up bases in the three Districts using them as transit route to Myanmar. The Chief Minister, while highlighting the need for an Autonomous Council to further the development in these sensitive insurgency affected districts, gave a historical overview of the demand for Patkai Autonomous District Council. He emphasised that this has been a long-standing demand of the people of the State, particularly the people of these three Districts who have been affected by insurgency leading to poor socio-economic conditions and lack of development. The demand for formation of Patkai Autonomous Council was passed by the Assembly in 2004 and 2007 and the Cabinet approved it in 2013. The proposal was then sent to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) and a committee headed by joint Secretary (North East), UMHA was constituted by the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government. The Committee had visited the three Districts in February, 2014. Since then, there has been no communication from the UMHA.

Nagaland & Assam Governor PB Acharya stated that 4000 NSCN-IM militants would be absorbed into Security Forces (SFs) under the recent ‘frame work agreement’ signed between GoI and NSCN-IM, reports Nagaland Post on September 9. He stated that since the members of the group (NSCN I-M) have long been cut off from the civil society and living with arms, the government has decided to absorb some 4,000 of them into the security forces in a big way.” He also said that after signing of the agreement, NSCN (I-M) has now merged with the civil society. He stated that , “All that the NSCN (I-M) leadership wants is that the Nagas, wherever they reside, should enjoy equal status with other communities of the state where they are living.” The Governor also stated that when most of the breakaway groups of NSCN have accepted to join the civil society and shun the path of violence, it is not long before NSCN-K will also join the peace process. Achraya said while the NSCN has given up the demand for a sovereign Nagaland, their concern for the welfare of Nagas in other states will be looked into and the proposals made by the Union Government have been accepted by the Naga leaders. The Governor appealed to all armed groups operating in Assam and other parts of North East to shun the path of violence and to be the part of process of development of the region, reports Nagaland Post.

Several Naga Political Groups (NPGs) held a deliberation on September 8 on the Accord signed on August 3,2015 between the Government of India (GoI) and Isak-Muivah faction of NSCN (NSCN-IM) after which, they resolved to convey the message to the Government of India, that “the Naga people do not accept the Accord signed without their consent”, reports Nagaland Post. This was contained in a joint statement signed by ‘chairman’ Khitovi Zhimomi, Khole Konyak and ‘general secretary’ Z. Royim Yimchunger of Khole-Khitovi faction of NSCN (NSCN-KK), ‘acting president’ of Naga National Council (NNC) and ‘general secretary’ Vizosielhou Nagi NC; Kiumukam Yimchungru ‘president’ NNC-Non Accordist (NNC-NA) and Hangping Zeliang, general secretary NNC/NA; Thupushuyi S. Keyho ‘vice president’ NNC and P. Puthai Lam, kilo Kilonser, ‘federal government of Nagaland’ (FGN). The signatories stated that Naga people “expected the much-hyped Delhi Accord of 3rd August, 2015, between the GoI and NSCN (I-M), to set a positive tone for a more rational political discussion on a wide Naga spectrum, for a final political solution, acceptable to all Nagas”, reports Nagaland Post. However, they said, after a month, the Accord turned out to be “a stage-managed activity, under the carpet, with gross inconsistencies” which was destroying its very purpose. The signatories took cognizance of the “current negative political propaganda doing the rounds in Nagaland” after signing of the accord, wherein, they have, in the interest of the future Naga generations endorse the following: being fully aware about the stark differences in the interpretation of ‘sovereignty and integration’ issues between the GoI and NSCN (I-M); sensed the demise of reason and spirit of questioning in Nagaland; urging Naga tribes and common people against “ the perils of committing our land and future to the embryonic Delhi Accord.” Further, they maintained, that in the event Government of India (GoI) expressed its desire to” officially invite any of the signatories for finding “an acceptable political settlement to the Indo-Naga issue” they would, despite their ideological differences, “consult our people and extend unconditional support to one another”, reports Nagaland Post on September 9.

A militant module of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) busted by the Jammu and Kashmir Police last month was planning to target retired Police officers who had worked in counter-insurgency operations besides carrying out Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast against Army convoys in remote areas of Kashmir valley, reports Daily Excelsior on September 10. As per the interrogation report of the recently arrested United Kingdom (UK) based Kashmiri Physiotherapist, Shaheen Ahmad Baba, militants have been told to target the former Police officers who were with the Special Operations Group (SOG) of Jammu and Kashmir Police. “Amir Khan (Deputy supreme commander of Hizbul Mujahideen) directed us to target senior retired police officers who had played an active role in counter-insurgency operations over the years. I was given an example of a senior police officer who retired recently”, the interrogation report of Baba reads. “Amir directed me to create a new module of militants in which I was advised to recruit youth who had no past links with militancy or any political party. He further informed me that once the module was established and equipped, will help in fund transfer locally”, the report adds. Baba told his interrogators that he was trained in handling explosives and was asked to use locally available material for making IEDs and use door bells and central locking system of cars for their detonation. “I was asked to read the manual about different types of explosives and procedure of making them during my training in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). I was also trained in making IEDs and detonating them. I was told that it is difficult to send circuits etc to Kashmir considering the restrictions on the border. I was asked to use door bells or central locking system as an alternative to it”, the report reveals. Baba told his interrogators that he was asked that once his module gets established to target Army convoys with IEDs in remote areas of Kashmir valley. The targeting of Army in remote areas was to avoid civilian killings. Baba was also told by his handlers across to collect information about the activities of two middle rung All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC) leaders, both from Central Kashmir, who were working for Indian agencies. However, Baba told interrogators, he didn’t get time to keep a tab on their activities.

In a rejoinder to statement by Governor of Assam and Nagaland, PB Acharya, NSCN-IM stated that Governor was misinformed or ignorant of the framework agreement signed between the Government of India (GoI) and NSCN-IM, reports Kanglaonline on September 10. NSCN-IM stated that India and Naga will co-exist as two entities and that the question of merger of one with the other does not arise. It also added that “Nagas are not looking for status in par with other communities within the parameter of Indian Constitution. Ours is not a domestic/law and order problem of India”. NSCN-IM further added that ‘Division of Naga territory is one of the causes of the resistance movement. Peaceful and honourable solution will never be there so long as Nagas are kept divided. Territorial integration of the Nagas is a natural necessity, not a choice or demand”. NSCN-IM statement also said that “The framework agreement says that according to the universal principle sovereignty lies with the people, not government. Therefore, the sovereignty of India lies with the Indian people and the sovereignty of the Nagas lies with the Naga people. However, there will be sharing of sovereign power for enduring peaceful co-existence of the two entities.” Governor of Assam and Nagaland PB Acharya, in a statement had earlier said that the Framework Agreement is the foundation upon which the edifice of solution will be built and had added that no areas of other States will be lumped with Nagaland. He had also said that NSCN had given up the demand for a sovereign Nagaland, reports Kanglaonline on September 10.

India and Pakistan on September 10, decided to evolve new border protocols to put an end to ceasefire violations as the Director General (DG)-level border dialogue got under way here, reports The Times of India. In a positive sign, the talks were extended by a day to "discuss and finalise' these protocols and strategies. During the discussions, the two sides agreed to have in a place a mechanism of coordinated patrolling and hold sector, battalion and post-level talks on border issues and monitoring ceasefire violations. A joint accord is expected on September 11 (today). "The most significant takeaway of the talks has been that the two sides agreed that maintenance of peace and tranquility on this border is the most important issue and this needs to be implemented on the ground," said a source. The Indian delegation, led by Border Security force (BSF) DG Devendra Kumar Pathak, didn't bring up the issue of arrest of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) terrorist Mohammad Naveed Yakub involved in Udhampur attack and Gurdaspur attack. "We won't gain anything from the past. Let's forget about it and work towards peace at the border. Let's talk about the future," a government source quoted Pathak as having said at the beginning of the talks with the Pakistani delegation, led by DG (Punjab) Umar Farooq Burki. Burki asked BSF to initiate joint patrolling along some mutually identified areas, which was agreed by India, sources said. Sources said the Pakistan Rangers "did not bring on table" the issue of activation of the UNMOGIP (UN Military Observer Group in Indian and Pakistan). The Pakistani officials expressed their inability to monitor infiltration. "Pak officials claimed that they are unable to check infiltration as they don't have high-tech instruments and infrastructure like the Indian security forces," said a source. On their last day in Delhi on September 12, a joint record of discussions will be signed by the two sides.

The CP-Maoist has failed to recruit localites of Odisha into its violent fold, claimed State Director General of Police (DGP) Sanjiv Marik on September 9, reports The Hindu. He said this while on a visit to Berhampur in Ganjam District on September 9 to review the Maoist problem. According to him, majority of Maoists active in Odisha as well as their leaders in the State were from outside Odisha. According to him, out of total active Maoist cadres in Odisha, only 10 per cent are from the State. “In south Odisha, the Naxalite organisation has some Odia cadres in Malkangiri, Koraput and Nabarangpur districts. Around 80 per cent of Maoist cadres in south Odisha districts is from adjoining Andhra Pradesh,” he said. Similarly in several other Maoist-infested districts, most active cadres are from Chhattisgarh. On vacancies in the police administration, he said his department faces vacancy of around 60 per cent, which would be filled up soon.

Three Kashmiri separatists, Shabir Shah, Nayeem Ahmed Khan, and Agha Syed Hasan, joined their parties with hardliner Syed Ali Shah Geelani's All Party Hurriyat Conference (APHC-G) in Srinagar on September 9, reports The Times of India. Shabir's Freedom Party (FP), Nayeem's National Front (NF) and Agha Syed Hasan's Anjuman-e-Shar-e-Shian were welcomed by Geelani into his fold, later addressing a press conference at his Hyderpora residence. "My doors are open for everyone who believes in unity among pro-freedom camp and want to strengthen it," Geelani said. It was pointed out by an observer that efforts at unification have been on for the last seven years precisely because there was never any agreement among them, and now that the separatists are facing existential threat, they are trying to put up a united face. Shabir said, "When anti-Kashmir people from Nagpur to Srinagar are getting one, there's a need of having unity based on strength and common ideology was the need of the hour." Nayeem said he will invite other separatists to unite under Geelani. Both Shabir and Nayeem had launched All Party Hurriyat Conference-Jammu and Kashmir (APHC-JK) last year after differences cropped up with moderate Hurriyat Conference chief Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. Agha Hassan was expelled from moderate Hurriyat for 'maligning' the image of the amalgam days after he expressed his 'dissatisfaction' over its functioning in June this year. Hassan said he joined hands with Geelani for larger benefit of Kashmiri nation and of freedom movement.

According to highly placed security sources, the tough stand adopted by the Government of India (GoI) against the militants involved in December 23, 2014 massacre has brought down the level of violence in Assam, reports The Assam Tribune on September 11. Though initially, the operation was aimed against the IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS), which was involved in the massacre, the operations seriously affected the other militant groups active in the State. In the past, such operations launched after killings of innocents were not sustained for a long time, but because of the tough stand of the GoI, the operations have been sustained and the force level on the ground has also not been reduced. Sources said that in the operations against NDFB-IKS, so far, around 30 hardcore militants have been killed, while more than 190 have been arrested. More than 250 sympathisers and overground workers of the outfit have also been arrested. Report said that till May 2015, senior NDFB-IKS leader G Bidai, who allegedly masterminded the December 23 attack, was moving around with around 40 cadres and the strength of his group has dwindled to less than 10 now. They very often get into the Manas National Park to avoid arrest by the Security Forces (SFs). Small groups of NDFB-IKS men are also located in Gossaigaon, Saralpara, Udalguri, Sonitpur, etc., but they are not in a position to come out of the jungles. Abduction for ransom was the main source of income of the NDFB-IKS, but the outfit could not abduct anyone since the operation was launched against the outfit last year. Sources further add that under serious pressure, NDFB-IKS leader G Bidai has sent feelers to the Government through a few non-government organisations (NGOs) expressing his desire to go for a ceasefire. But the Government is not willing to take the offer. “The Government’s stand on the issue is very clear. If Bidai and any other member of the outfit wants to surrender, they will be arrested and they will have to face the law. There will be no ceasefire with the outfit,” sources added.

Government of India (GoI) and Eastern Nagaland People's Organisation (ENPO) held the first round of bilateral talks on the demand for the separate State of ‘Frontier Nagaland’ in New Delhi on September 10, reports The Assam Tribune on September 14. The ENPO, in a release, said both the parties agreed in principle that the process of discussions and the demand of Statehood by it is a separate issue in nature from the present Naga peace talks with the Centre. It was also agreed that both the issues “cannot be mixed up and misunderstood”, the release said. The ENPO stated that the discussion between Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) officials and ENPO delegation was very cordial with constructive atmosphere, fairness and openness. Issues and grievances of Eastern Nagaland were highlighted for better understanding and feedback of both the parties, it added. The release further informed that the discussion was related to the historical and political background of the ENPO. “The glaring socio-economic and political imbalances were highlighted before the Central officials which is an outcome of outright discrimination and negligence by the successive governments, both at the Centre and the State from day one,” it alleged. As the tripartite talks, proposed by the Centre was opposed, both the parties mutually agreed to initially hold several rounds of bilateral talks. The next round of bilateral talks is expected to be held before the year-end, it was informed.

Government of India’s (GoI) Joint Intelligence Committee Chairman and Chief interlocutor for Naga Peace Talks, R. N. Ravi categorically stated that there is nothing in the framework agreement signed between the Government of India and Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM) about boundaries, reports The Sangai Express on September 11. He stated, “Since the framework agreement does not contain any specific details, we have not been able to reach out to the people. And now I am here to meet the civil society organisations”. He also said that due to insistence of NSCN-IM ‘general secretary’ Thuingaleng Muivah’s insistence on ‘shared sovereignty’ the problem was yet to be resolved. He further added, “We have changed the format of engagement (with NSCN-IM). We changed the format in the sense that we realised that it is a comprehensive issue. Comprehensive issue needs to be resolved in a comprehensive way. That’s why we are trying to reach out to all the people”. On being enquired about a time frame of reaching a final solution, the interlocutor maintained that it was difficult to give a time frame.

Intelligence agencies in Hyderabad on September 10 arrested an Indian woman, identified as Afsa Jabeen alias Nicky Joseph soon after she was deported from UAE for being allegedly involved in recruiting online for the Islamic State (IS), reports The Times of India. Afsha Jabeen has been posing as a British national while trying to lure young men and women through the social media into joining IS, sources said. Afsha, who hails from Hyderabad, was taken into custody at the airport after being deported along with husband and children. The arrest followed nine months of intense surveillance mounted on her in India, UAE and Britain. "We arrested Afsha at the airport on Friday morning. We have to interrogate her to get more details about her activities," Cyberabad Commissioner CV Anand stated. Afsha is being interrogated by sleuths from several agencies. She used to motivate Indians to join IS mainly through Facebook groups, first sending them literature and other propaganda material and later coercing them to join the outfit. Afsha's name first surfaced on January 16, 2015, when Police arrested Salman Mohiuddin a US-trained engineer from Hyderabad's Habeebnagar area, minutes before he was to board a flight to Dubai with plans to join the IS. During interrogation, Salman confessed that he was indoctrinated by Nicky Joseph and that he was to join her in Dubai. Afsha had laid out plans for Salman's travel to Syria through Turkey. Though Afsha told Salman that she was a British national living in Dubai and was married to cardiologist Aforaly Paul, Indian sleuths who monitored her online activity and cross-verified her details with external intelligence agencies of UAE and UK, realised that Nicky Joseph was none other than Afsha Jabeen of Tolichowki. According to Police, Afsha was administering an Facebook group-- 'Islam vs Christianity Friendly Discussions', to attract, indoctrinate and motivate people from across the world, including India, to join the IS. Influenced by Afsha, Salman had started his own Facebook group -- 'Daula News Group' --to intensify efforts on recuiting for the IS. Police believe apart from Salman, Afsha may have influenced several others in India.

Myanmar has protested to New Delhi against a counter-insurgency operation by Indian security forces, on September 5 which killed three Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) militants, reports The Telegraph on September 11. While the Assam Rifles (AR) allegedly crossed the border without permission on September 5, sources in the security forces said Myanmar was refusing to cooperate with Indian forces and was even encouraging the Northeast insurgents on its territory. Indian agencies say the militants have set up camps in Myanmar within a few kilometres of the border with Manipur. These camps are hamlets where many of the insurgents allegedly live with their families, reports The Telegraph. A source stated that "Indian militants have a camp in Mintha, 3km into Myanmar from the border, and another to its south in Hlezeik, There are camps also at Myothit and Thanan along the river Yu, all of them close to the border and under the very nose of the Myanmarese army." About 11km into Myanmar from Manipur border, United National Liberation Front (UNLF) is believed to have set up base in a hamlet called Heonkabin. Sources say cadres from the Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) militants recently visited this camp, reports The Telegraph on September 11.

Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh on September 12, admitted that online recruitment by Islamic State (IS) had become a major security challenge for India, but said he was happy that Muslim families were stopping youth who were getting attracted to the extremist organisation, reports Indian Express. The minister also described Jammu and Kashmir as a “problem” because Pakistan keeps focusing on it to make it the central theme. “Our forces are at work,’’ he said. Singh said India was facing security challenges because it was progressing at a very fast pace and could well become the largest economic power in the next 10 to 15 years, which “anti-national forces’’ don’t want to happen. He said it was not an easy task to defend the 23,000 kilometre land and coastal boundaries. “Border security should have been a priority but it did not get due focus in the past. There were some inadequacies.’’

According to a recent National Investigation Agency (NIA) report, 80 per cent Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) are sneaked into the country through the 172-km porous border along Malda District, and 55-60 per cent of the consignments from Bangladesh are circulated from the villages in 12 sq-km triangle with 18 villages, The Times of India reports on September 14. The fake currency rackets has taken the magnitude of a cottage industry at Mohabbatpur, Chorianantapur, Sasani, Gopalnagar, Khoribona, Chaknanipur, Misutola and Dangipara, which are easily accessible to Bangladesh's Chapai Nababgunj Distreict, notorious for being a fake currency hub, as well as Nepal, said Malda Superintendent of Police (SP) Prasiun Banerjee. "Also, people here work as labourers in Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi and Assam and they carry the notes with them there," he added. Most of the residents in the villages, including women and children, are part of the illegal trade, which according to a recent Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) report, is crippling the economy of India. In Mohabbatpur, there is not a single home that has not been raided. In fact, hardly any youngster can be found there as most of them have been arrested and the others have gone underground, trying to evade jail. According to the NIA, Malda has become the locus of criminal activities, with links to the Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-backed network of terrorism. According to the Malda District Police report, FICN with a face value of INR 1.43 crore were seized in 2013, the next year, it increased to INR 1.5 crore, while till July, 2015 it is INR 1.97 crore. "The steady rise shows the Police and the security agencies have been more alert and active. Origin source of most currencies is Pakistan," and the quality is so good that it can hardly be distinguished from original notes," Malda SP Banerjee said. NIA officials said this was only the tip of the iceberg. "The seized notes comprise merely just 5-7 per cent of the entire amount pumped into India" and so it is easily understandable how much fake currencies percolate into the main economy of the country," an NIA officer said. "The high-quality Pakistan notes' exchange rate is INR 60,000 for INR 1,00,000. For low-quality notes, it is INR 45,000-50,000 for INR 1,00,000," a District Police officer said. A Border Security Force (BSF) personnel pointed out modus operandi adopted by the smugglers: "People from Bangladesh supply notes to those living in Indian villages outside the border. They stash the notes in sacks and lob them over the fence into India, where the sacks usually land into their counterpart's house." There are other innovative methods too. "Smugglers use defunct irrigation pipes under agriculture fields. Two persons, one on the Indian side and the other on the Bangladesh side, sit at the two ends of the pipe and pass the notes tied to a long tape passing through the pipe," the Police said.

Saoraigwra, and ‘general secretary’ B. Ferenga attended the event. In a statement via e-mail to the media, B. Saoraigwra claimed that the outfit was still strong enough and rubbished the claim of the Security Forces (SFs) that the outfit was no longer a strong force after the ‘Operation All Out’.

He said over the years, Bodo and other tribal people had lost their land and had been reduced to landless agricultural labourers.

Though the GoI is keen on bringing back NSCN-K to the negotiation table, operations against the outfit would continue till it abjures violence and comes forward to rejoin the peace process, reports Nagaland Post on September 15. Highly placed sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) said that it was the NSCN-K, which broke away from the ceasefire agreement with the Government and formed a common platform along with three other militant groups of the region having bases in Myanmar. The Government wants the outfit to rejoin the peace process for comprehensive solution to the Naga political issues, but that does not mean that the outfit would be allowed to indulge in acts of violence. Sources also said that GoI was yet to receive any positive gesture from NSCN-K and that it had has been providing shelter to other militant groups in Myanmar.

A key person involved in Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) racket run from Pakistan was found poisoned to death by a National Investigation Agency (NIA) team in Rajasthan, Economic Times reports on September 16. NIA was following a lead on Bhojraj Singh in a case of a major seizure of INR 20, 00,000 worth fake currency on a train in Delhi. The NIA, in a charge-sheet submitted recently in the case, has said the death of Singh has "affected the investigation as it now becomes difficult to ascertain the persons responsible for providing him funds for purchase of FICN and also to ascertain other people involved in the business". Two persons, Samir Mansuri and Kudarat Khan, were arrested from Farakka Express by the Delhi Police Special Cell on February 25, 2015 at the Old Delhi Railway station in Delhi with INR 20,00,000 worth of high-quality FICN. They were coming from Malda District of West Bengal and confessed that the consignment was to be delivered to Singh who would pay them a commission of 10 per cent and had also paid them money to 'buy' the FICN from Bangladesh. The NIA, after taking over the case, dispatched a team to Singh's residence in Barod, Madhya Pradesh, on May 27, 2015 but found him to be absconding. "The team got information that Singh had been admitted in hospital in Jhalawar, Rajasthan, for poisoning," the NIA has said in its charge sheet.

Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Khagen Sarma while talking to media persons at Police Guest House in Mangaldai in Darrang District on September 15 said that “The people of Assam have realized the original nature and way of functioning of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and hence irrespective of caste, language and religion, people have lost faith in them and rejected the outlawed outfit which has now been confined to a very small group of frustrated militants”, reports The Sentinel. Speaking about the activities of the ULFA cadres in Darrang and Udalguri, he said that only three ULFA cadres namely Rajen Deka, Bikram Bora alias Dipak and Ramesh Deka were functioning but instead of taking part in any major operation, the three were hiding in some remote areas. The DGP also said that “Islamic fundamentalists and other fundamentalist groups are active in Darrang and many other parts of the State. We are keeping a strict vigil on the activities of such fundamentalist groups”, adds The Assam Tribune. On the question of recent arrest of a youth from Darrang District in connection with his alleged links with notorious criminal Dawood Ibrahim, he said, “Dawood Ibrahim has massive business networks. There may be some links of the local youth with his business or criminal network but we are more concerned with the terrorist links.”

The four youths informally deported from the UAE for suspected links with Islamic State (IS) are suspected to be part of a 20-member module of radicalised Malayali youths operating out of Ras Al Khaimah at UAE, The Times of India reports on September 16. The module came to light and was subsequently neutralised after UAE Police started investigating the disappearance of another Malayali youth now believed to have joined the IS in Syria. "We have details of one Malayali who has gone to Syria and possibly joined the IS. Riyad, a native of the Kundungal in Kozhikode, is missing and is suspected to be in Syria," said aN intelligence source, who is part of a coordinated effort by central and state agencies to track the growing influence of IS among Indian youth. Riyad is reportedly from an influential family in north Kerala. His immediate family members, who were in Ras Al Khaimah, were sent back to Kerala two days ago. The four youths whose visas were cancelled and sent out of UAE arrived at Thiruvananthapuram and Karipur airports on September 15. They hail from Kilimanoor, Adoor, Malappuram and Kozhikode. The youths from Kilimanoor and Adoor arrived in an Etihad flight that landed at Thiruvananthapuram at 3.30 am on Tuesday. Intelligence officials detained them and interrogated them at the airport itself. The interrogation concluded by around 10.30 am. They were allowed to go without being booked for any offence. All four of them were known to each other for several years and hail from well-to-do families doing business in Ras Al Khaimah and they first formed a group in April 2014. They are from Sunni families but are believed to be radicalised by some obscure Salafi group in UAE. They were slowly drawn to IS through its online propaganda and social media network.

The two Maoists who were killed in an encounter in Warangal District of Telangana on September 15 have been identified as Sruthi alias Mahitha (23), native of Waddepally, Hanamkonda and an engineering graduate, and Vidyasagar Reddy alias Sagar (32), native of Dharmasagar mandal (administrative unit) of Warangal District, reports The Hindu. It is suspected that Karimnagar- Khammam-Warangal (KKW) Maoist party secretary Damodar and several others managed to escape from the spot. Police recovered two weapons – one .303 and a carbine and several kit bags —from the scene. Meanwhile, the parents of Sruthi, Sudarshanam and Rama Devi, alleged that their daughter was killed in a fake encounter. They told the media that their daughter was arrested, tortured and killed in a cruel manner by the Police. “She joined the Maoists to achieve people’s Telangana and to fight for the poor Adivasis. Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, Ministers and the police should own responsibility for her death,” Sudarshanam said. However, the parents of Vidyasagar Reddy alias Sagar remained silent over the death of their son. Sagar, who completed tenth class, used to work as a car driver and worked with a private seeds company before joining the Maoist party just one month back, the parents said.

With Left Wing Extremism (LEW) receding considerably in Odisha barring three districts, the State Government on September 15 decided to prepare a separate strategy to deal with the changed situation, reports The Economic Times. This was decided at the Unified Command meeting presided over by Chief Secretary G.C. Pati in Bhubaneswar which was also attended by the Development Commissioner, Secretaries of the Home and Finance Department, Odisha Director General of Police (DGP) Sanjeev Marik besides Inspector Generals (IG) of Border Security Force (BSF) and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The meeting resolved to undertake socio-development works in the worst-hit regions including the cut-off area in Malkangiri District while intensifying anti-Maoist operations at the same time, a senior government official said. He added adequate stress is being given on intelligence gathering network and proper coordination between local Police and Central Para-Military Force. Endorsing the view, DGP Sanjeev Marik also said though Maoist situation remained grim in the districts of Malkangiri, Koraput and Nuapada, their activities have been reduced to a great extent in other parts of the state. However, what has posed a new challenge for security personnel here is the Maoists' bid to create a new corridor passing through Boudh, Kandhamal and Nayagarh district. Since the Maoists feel the heat in neighbouring Chhattisgarh, they try to create a separate corridor, Marik said. While the Maoists from Chhattisgarh are trying to infiltrate into Odisha through the jungle routes in Nuapada, Kalahandi, Boudh and Nayagarh districts, the ultras from Andhra Pradesh side wanted to revive their network in southern parts of the state, he said.

As Pakistan once again targeted civilian population along the Line of Control (LoC) in unabated ceasefire violations in Balakote, Balnoi, Krishna Ghati and other sectors of Poonch District, General Officer Commanding (GOC) Nagrota based 16 Corps Lt Gen RR Nimbhorkar on September 16, described as “completely unethical” on part of Pakistan army to target civilian areas and maintained that India was not resorting to such practices, reports Daily Excelsior. The Army Commander didn’t rule out the possibility of Pakistan Army trying to facilitate infiltration attempts along the LoC under the cover of shelling and firing but maintained that the Counter-Infiltration Grid of the Indian Army was well placed to thwart all designs of the Pakistani troops and the militants to infiltrate into the Indian Territory. Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of a function at 16 Corps Headquarters at Nagrota, Lt Gen Nimbhorkar said Pakistan Army continued firing and shelling targeting the civilian areas and forward posts along the LoC for past several days in the twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch. “Our troops have been giving befitting reply to Pakistan,” he added. Describing as “unethical” the Pakistan army targeting civilian population in forward areas of the LoC especially in Balakote, Sabzian, Gambhir in Poonch and Rajouri Districts, he strongly regretted the Pakistan army’s attempt to directly kill or injure civilians by targeting their habitations in the forward areas. He maintained that the Indian Army never hits the Pakistani civilians “directly or intentionally”. “Even the Indian troops didn’t violate the ceasefire agreement. We maintain ceasefire but have to retaliate when Pakistan army didn’t relent and continue firing. Pakistan army not only targets our forward posts on the LoC but directly fires at the civilian population. We are forced to retaliate to Pakistan’s cross-border shelling,’” Lt Gen Nimbhorkar said. “We are of the opinion here specially in our country that it (targeting civilian areas) is unethical. It does not behove of the army (Pakistan), who are targeting the civilian areas that much I can say about this,” he said. “Our Army is ethical–our Army is professional. We do not believe in having abrogating any agreements (ceasefire maintaining agreement of November 2003) which we have. But if the adversary indulged in it (firing and shelling), we are forced to retaliate in a proper manner,” the GOC 16 Corps, In charge of twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch among other areas of Jammu, said.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has called a bandh (general shutdown strike) in Malkangiri (Odisha) on September 25 in protest against the recent surrender of villagers in the District to Police, reports The Times of India. Over 500 people in four villages surrendered to Police in less than three weeks. In a letter to mediapersons on September 15, secretary of the Maoists' Malkangiri division committee Poonam Chandra urged the locals to cooperate with them on the bandh. "Police are misleading villagers by using priests, traditional healers and quacks against us. The surrender of villagers is staged and managed by security personnel to weaken the Maoist movement," the letter said. Police have dismissed the Maoists allegations as baseless and said villagers are withdrawing support of their own will.

The Kerala Police registered a case against Riyab-ul-Rehman, a youth from Payyanakkal in Kozhikode District on the charge of joining the Islamic State (IS) and trying to recruit people to the banned militia operating in Syria and Iraq, The Hindu reports on September 17. Intelligence agencies say that Rehman had left for Syria from the UAE about six months ago. He is the son of a textile businessman, who too was deported from the UAE on September 16. The entire family had been in Ras-al-Khaimah, one of the seven emirates in the UAE, for the past 41 years. Additional Director General of Police (North Zone) N. Shankar Reddy stated the case was registered under Section 125 (waging war against an Asiatic Power that is in alliance with the government of India) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Section 18 (punishment for recruiting any person or persons for terrorist act) of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA). Intelligence sources said that Rehman had left home after he had fallen out with his father over his radical ideology. His name had figured in the radar of security agencies after the detention of Indian Mujahideen (IM) sympathisers in Saudi Arabia. The case of two missing Keralites from the UAE and Qatar a few months ago had increased the suspicion that radicalised Kerala youths were joining the IS militants. Security agencies had traced the identity of Abu Thahir, who had left his home Palakkad for Qatar two years ago. But the Indian consulate in Qatar has no clue if he has reached the emirate.

According to Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID) sources, Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) printed in Pakistan are now pushed into India via Sri Lanka and the route for the fake currency printed in Bangladesh is through Malda District in West Bengal, The Hindu reports on September 18. Police have arrested about 50 suspects till now in 2015 for circulating FICN in Tamil Nadu and Chennai. “Around 25 cases have been registered and FICN worth INR 8,00,000 was seized from them,” said a Police source. Most of the suspects get the money in exchange for smuggling drugs, and sometimes even arms, into the country. “After this, they convert it into legal tender currency by buying goods,” a CB-CID officer said. “Only INR 52,000 was seized by us, but nearly INR 9,00,000 has already been circulated. What is worrying is that most of them are high-quality notes and it has been flowing into Tamil Nadu undetected through Sri Lanka for a long time. Such issues are being suppressed by different law enforcement agencies,” a Police source said. Apart from Sri Lanka, sources say that money exchangers outside Singapore and Malaysia airports are also pushing in some FICN into India, especially through Chennai. The Police have written to the Interpol seeking help to crack the network. “Some of the suspects said they had got currency from money exchangers outside the airport. We are coordinating with other agencies to collect details,” the officer added.

Allowing Indians to take part in the conflict in Iraq or Syria would "directly result in sectarian conflict" in the country and amount to promoting terrorism, the Indian Government stated, The Times of India reports on September 18. In an affidavit filed before the Delhi High Court, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) stated, "allowing any sect to take part in the conflict in Iraq or Syria would have repercussions on other sects in India. This could directly result in sectarian conflict within India, which is not in the interest of the nation." It said the visit of a six-member delegation of Anjuman-e-Haideri (AeH), which was disallowed from going to Iraq, "was primarily meant to discuss modalities of sending registered volunteers to protect holy shrines in Iraq." "Indian citizens cannot be permitted to go to a foreign country with a declared objective of taking part in any conflict in such foreign countries as the safety and security of such persons would be at stake and it would adversely impact friendly relations with foreign countries...Allowing an Indian to go to another country to take part in a conflict (which amounts to taking part in terrorist activities) would lead to the allegation that Indian government is promoting terrorism in other countries," the affidavit said.

His comments came even as the Central Government on September 16 banned the Khaplang faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland for five years for abrogating the ceasefire with a series of attacks on Indian security forces starting in March.

The Naga Mothers’ Association (NMA) has submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi stating that seeking vengeful killings for the unfortunate deaths of Indian Armed soldiers is not the solution or answer to peace in this war-torn land and demanded a high level inquiry into the Pangsha firing incident (August 28) which led to many deaths, reports The Shillong Times on September 18. According to a statement, the NMA in its memo said that neither will bounties on the heads of NSCN-K leaders or a ban on the group, work as a solution for peace, because no matter what, they are also freedom fighters. Expressing concern at the escalation of armed tensions and the buildup of militarisation by Indian armed forces in towns and villages of the state, the NMA asserted that women’s right to peace and security must be respected and adhered to by the Centre and all efforts must be made to initiate a peaceful solution. The NMA reiterated the demand for withdrawal of Armed Forces [Special Powers] Act (AFSPA). It urged the Centre to seek peace with honesty and stand by the International Conventions signed by the country, with true commitment.

The Indian Army and Assam Police on September 18 launched their biggest operation – ‘Operation All Out’ - against Bodo militant outfit IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS), particularly in places close to the international border with Bhutan, reports The Shillong Times. Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Khagen Sarma, after reviewing the security scenario in Chirang District on September 19 said that “We launched the biggest operation against the NDFB militants yesterday (September 18). In today’s (September 19) meeting, we discussed the measures to be taken against them.” The operation against the NDFB-IKS has been launched in areas under the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) in Assam. Indian Air Force is involved in ‘Operation All Out,’ operating since January, along with the Army, Paramilitary Forces and State Police to eliminate NDFB-IKS militants. DGP said NDFB-IKS commander B. Bidai, who was involved in the massacre of Adivasis in December 2014, has gone into hiding. “It is difficult to find out someone if he goes into hiding, particularly due to the forest areas, which works in their favour. But if he comes out and tries to attack the security forces, we are going to catch him,” Sarma said. Some NDFB cadres were still in Myanmar and the Security Forces (SFs) were taking maximum precautions so that the militants are not able to enter India, he added.Lieutenant General Chand added that the operation has been intensified, especially along the Bhutan border, the forest areas of Kokrajhar, Chirang, Baksa and Sonitpur with the deployment of approximately 4,000 security personnel since January 2015, adds The Shillong Times. “As a result of these sustained and surgical intelligence-based operations, 18 terrorists were neutralised, 539 terrorists or overground workers were apprehended, and 175 assorted weapons, 180 hand grenades and seven IEDs were seized,” he said.Also, an upsurge of Islamic fundamentalism in Assam to avenge violence against minorities in the BTAD has become a challenge for the SFs, reports The Telegraph on September 20. Report said that the recent busting of a jihadi training centre and the recovery of arms in Chirang District are the latest pointers to this emerging threat. The training centre was being run under the guise of a martial arts school to escape the prying eyes of security agencies. “Formation of a new militant outfit called the Muslim Tiger Force of Assam (MTFA) to take revenge for killing of minorities in the BTAD is another cause of concern for the security establishments,” a Police source said. Two MTFA militants were arrested by the army from Gossaigaon in Kokrajhar District on September 18 and one 7.65mm rifle was recovered from them. According to Assam DGP Khagen Sarma, threat from Islamic fundamentalist forces is higher than that from local outfits like the NDFB-IKS because of the former’s pan-Islamic links. Sarma said during investigations into the activities of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) in connection with the Burdwan blast, it had come to light that some key leaders of Islamic fundamentalist organisations had visited minority-dominated areas in lower Assam. He said the recent arrest of four Islamic fundamentalists from Chirang district has provided some fresh leads about their activities.

According to reports, slow progress of talks between the Government of India (GoI) and Pro-Talks faction of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA-PTF) has resulted in growing frustration among the cadres of the outfit, reports The Assam Tribune on September 21. Reports said that under the circumstances, the possibility of a sizeable number of ULFA-PTF cadres switching over to the hardline faction headed by Paresh Baruah (ULFA-I) cannot be ruled out. The security agencies recently intercepted a few calls of ULFA-I ‘commander-in-chief’ Paresh Baruah and he also spoke about the possibility of some ULFA-PTF members switching over to the hardline faction. The report further said that a senior central committee member of the ULFA-PTF admitted that the cadres of the outfit who are sitting idle in the designated camps were frustrated and the possibility of some of them joining the hardline faction cannot be ruled out. He said that the GoI would lose a golden opportunity of political solution of the problems if the talks are not resumed by November, 2015 and this would only strengthen the hands of the hardline faction. He pointed out that there were only six instances of cease-fire violation by members of the ULFA-PTF in the last four years. He added that during the talks with the Government so far, they called for rehabilitation of the cadres, who are not even getting their monthly stipend regularly, but the Government only gave assurances and did nothing on the ground.

Indian Express reports on September 21 that for the past few weeks, Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials in Delhi have been trying to convince a young woman, who recently graduated from Delhi University, that joining terror group of Islamic State (IS) is not a good idea. The daughter of a retired Indian Army Lieutenant Colonel, the woman, in her mid-20s, went to Australia for three years for post-graduate studies. Intelligence sources said it was her father who approached the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and reported her activities. He reportedly sought help from the NIA in counseling and de-radicalising her. The agency, in turn, got in touch with the IB which is now handling the matter.According to sources, a couple of months ago, the former Army officer stumbled upon some internet communication linked to the IS on his daughter’s computer. Further investigation by the officer reportedly revealed that his daughter was perhaps in touch with alleged IS recruiters and planned to travel to Syria to join the outfit. The father then reportedly sought the NIA’s help. Sources said the woman perhaps planned to convert to Islam and then make her way to Syria through Australia.

According to latest Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) figures, kidnappings, a staple insurgent activity in the North-East, has seen a significant decline this year, with the worst-affected state of Assam showing a nearly 70 per cent drop in kidnapping incidents even as the recently banned Khaplang faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-K) outfit resorted to maximum abductions for any outfit in 2015, reports The Economic Times on September 22. The figures show that 182 kidnappings have been reported this year from the seven northeastern states compared to 250 in the same period last year and 369 in all in 2014. Assam has seen the biggest drop - from 125 in 2013 and 94 in 2014 to only 24 so far this year, kidnappings in Meghalaya are down from 110 last year to 45 so far this year and the same is down to 24 in Arunachal Pradesh from 49 last year. The maximum kidnappings by any outfit in the North-East this year, 34, have been done by the just-banned NSCN-K outfit in Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh, followed by 24 by Khole-Khitovi faction of NSCN (NSCN-KK) in both these states and 15 by the Isak-Muivah faction of NSCN (NSCN-IM) - with which a framework agreement was signed recently. In fact, Nagaland has now overtaken Assam as the state worst affected by kidnappings, reporting 55 cases already compared to 65 in all in 2014. The Naga outfits in Manipur along with NSCN-K have meanwhile emerged as the most violent North-East outfits this year, resorting to 65 incidents of terrorism and inflicting 27 casualties on Security Forces (SFs) this year through ambush attacks in Manipur and Nagaland on convoys of Army and Assam Rifles (AR) - the total casualties of SFs this year have hence jumped almost 300 per cent to 40 from only 12 in 2014. Civilian casualties are however down to a record low at only 32 casualties this year compared to 114 in the same period last year. Tripura, where the State Government lifted Armed Forces [Special Powers] Acts (AFSPA) earlier this year, continues to be the most peaceful state in the North-East, reporting only one violent incident, a single civilian death and two killings of SFs. Manipur, the worst-affected state by insurgency in North-East, has seen an improvement, with violent incidents down by nearly 25 per cent.

On September 22, Army ruled out its withdrawal from the Kashmir valley, saying the time is not right and forces may lose ground and gains they so “painstakingly” made to “inimical” elements, reports Daily Excelsior. “The time is not right for us to pull out. If we pull out now, we may just lose the ground and that space may be filled by elements which are inimical to the civil society,” General Officer Commanding (GOC) of Srinagar-based 15 corps Lt Gen Satish Dua told reporters in Srinagar. He said due to persistent efforts of the Army and other Security Forces (SFs), “today we have a network grid of security forces in Kashmir, which saw a lot of violence over the last 25-26 years”. “We have brought the situation down to such a manageable level, to a low level of violence so that the work for development can be undertaken,” Lt Gen Dua said. “We have made these gains painstakingly, with blood and sweat of our comrades and friends from civil life. Now that we have come to this, I think we need to give it some more time,” the top Army Commander said. Further, Lt Gen Dua termed the waving of flags of Islamic State (IS) by masked youths in after Friday prayers as an exercise to “grab attention”. He, however, said there was radicalisation and it needed to be checked.In addition, Lt Gen Dua said, up to 1150 militants are in about 17 training camps in Pakistan and parts of Kashmir under its occupation and about 325 ultras are at launch pads along the Line of Control (LoC) waiting to sneak in. “As per our intelligence inputs, there are about 17 terrorist training camps in Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) put together. Out of that, nine are opposite the 15 Corps zone. Four each are in Manshera, which is in Pakistan and Muzaffarabad. “Total strength of terrorists in these camps is anything in between 1000 to 1150,” he said. He said that there are 23 different launch pads on the other side closer to the LoC having strength of 315 to 325 militants waiting for opportunity to sneak in. There is a bulge in the militants in the launch pads because they are unable to get across, Gen Dua said. “Whenever they have tried an infiltration bid, it has always been foiled or the militants have been eliminated. So, what is happening is that their numbers are swelling up but they are unable to get across,” the Army Commander said.About the trend of infiltration bids by militants this year, the Corps Commander said attempts are always there to step up such activities before summer season comes to an end and the mountain passes close due to snow.On recruitment of youth into the ranks of militants, Gen Dua said “there have been some recruitments and we are aware of them. In fact, not only have there been recruitments, seven of them have been caught, killed or have returned also. Some boys have even returned back from the fold of militancy.”Referring to the use of social media by militants especially Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) commander Burhan Wani, he said they are doing so to grab news headlines. Lt Gen Dua said Army will measure up to any challenge whenever the situation calls for.

In the backdrop of series of terror attacks that rocked Mumbai (Maharashtra) in the last decade, the United States has decided to include the city as part of a first of its kind initiative called Strong Cities Network, dnaindia.com reports on September 24. The initiative intends to focus on large metro cities and their Policing when it comes to terror threats. The main aim of the Strong Cities Network is to create the first international hub to systematically strengthen strategic planning, policies and practices among local government practitioners involved in building community resilience to counter violent extremism. "We recognise that the cities around the world are developing innovative responses to the challenge of violent extremism: We must capitalise on these isolated experiences in order to share learning, pool shared resources, and build a community of cities that can inspire local action on global scale. The Strong Cities Network represents the first global network of municipal leaders and local government practitioners involved in building community resilience to counter violent extremism," reads the invite sent by the US-based Institute for Strategic Dialogue. India's External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, who is currently in the US, has welcomed the initiative to invite Mumbai to join the Strong Cities Network.

The recent spotting of Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres in Telangana was the result of a rift between the Maoists belonging to Chhattisgarh and Telangana, a top Telangana Police official said and ruled out the resurgence of the Maoist movement in the State, reports The Times of India on September 24. It is because of the dispute between Chhattisgarh and Telangana cadres some Maoists had returned to their native State. "A few Naxals had come to Warangal for a short period from Chattisgarh. This resulted in the gunning down of two Maoists and arrest of three others. There has been no Naxal resurgence in Telangana," the official added. According to sources in the Telangana Police, there has been an increasing build up of animosity between the Maoists from Telangana who are holed up in Chhattisgarh and the local leaders. "For the past few years, the Chhattisgarh cadres have been unhappy over the continued presence of their colleagues from Telangana in their State and have been demanding that the Telangana Maoists return to their State and revive the movement. However, the Telangana leaders preferred to stay put in Chhattisgarh as they felt they could become victims in the hands of the Telangana Police.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on September 25 (today), said that India will reply if Pakistan's Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif raises the Kashmir issue in his address at the United Nation (UN) General Assembly, reports The Times of India. On being asked whether India has taken notice of a statement reportedly made by Sharif in this regard, MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said "When a statement comes from him (on Kashmir), then we will reply." On a question that Pakistan PM Sharif will be raising the issue in his address to the UN, Swarup said, "The first thing is, has any action been taken by the United Nations? If there is an action taken by the UN, we will respond appropriately, and if no action is taken by the UN, it itself tells that nobody has taken the cognisance." In the interim, reacting to the allegations made by Pakistan that India was raising a 197-kilometers-long, 10-meter-high and 135-foot-wide wall on the Line of Control (LoC), MEA spokesperson Vikas Swarup said that India was aware of the two letters written by Pakistan to the UN. "The first letter was written on September 4, which states that there was no bilateral dialogue. After that the Border Security Force (BSF) and Pakistan Rangers have already met. So the letter has itself contradicted itself that there is no dialogue as there has been a dialogue," said Swarup in response to a question by ANI's Smita Prakash. He added, "As far as the second letter is concerned, I believe, it is based on some kind of submission made by Mr. Salahuddin, whom we consider to be a global terrorist. We will respond at appropriate time."

Intelligence Bureau (IB) has alerted the government about numerous bank accounts, which are involved in either hawala (illegal money transaction) or fake lottery schemes running across the country, possibly being operated by Dawood Ibrahim, Zee News reports on September 27. During the probe, the money involved and trail via 1162 bank accounts lead the IB officials first to UAE and then to Pakistan. IB, with inputs from the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), has submitted a detailed and secret report over the said scam to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA). While trying to bring back black money stashed abroad, the IB has informed the Centre that majority of the bank accounts belong to government banks, in which State Bank of India (SBI) tops the list. As per the report, in Bihar, 30 per cent of such kind of suspicious accounts have been identified, while Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh follows the list with 18, 13.5 and 11 percentage respectively. As per the cases investigated by the Enforcement Directorate, INR 41.9339 billion is the estimated size of the scam so far. The D-Company plays a key role in hawala transactions, which are also used by Pakistan to fund its terror activities. The IB report explains the racket’s modus operandi and how it is heavily dependent on Indian agents. The report states that while 1,175 Pakistani phone numbers are under scanner, 305 Indian phone numbers are in constant touch with these numbers. Further, D-Company is also suspected of having a role in the INR 10 billion hawala racket that was unearthed by Income Tax officials in Kolkata (West Bengal) on September 24. On the basis of inputs from the IB, government may conduct more raids at various other parts of the country to unearth more such hawala rackets.

Meanwhile, the United People’s Front (UPF) and the Kuki National Organisation (KNO) have jointly decided to demand a separate State of all hills in Manipur instead of continuing with the present demand for ‘separate administration of the hills, according to Zomi Revolutionary Organization (ZRO) president and general secretary of UPF Thanglianpao Guite, reports Kanglaonline. In a major development to the present movement, the UPF and the KNO following a marathon meeting of their top officials on September 26, decided to come together and demand for a separate State to be carved out of the hills of Manipur instead of demanding for separate administration for the hills. According to the two organisations, the demand will be much stronger than the present demand and they will soon talk with the Centre in this regard. Guite said the groups under the Suspension of Operation (SoO) with both the State and Central governments have decided that only separation from Manipur will serve them and they will demand for a State under the Indian Constitution.

Meanwhile, Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju expressed concern over prevailing law and order situation in Garo Hill District terming it as “disturbing”, reports The Shillong Times. Taking to media persons on the sidelines of a programme in Shillong on September 26, the Union Minister said that there was no sign of improvement as far as situation in Garo Hills is concerned. Rijiju said that the Centre was willing to provide more assistance “if the State Government wants for tackling militancy in the Garo Hills region.” Reacting to a query about the reported killing of the Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer Bikash Kumar Singh, he said that though there was no concrete evidence “but reports indicate that he has been eliminated.” Singh, a new recruit posted as assistant central intelligence officer (ACIO) of the IB at Baghmara, the District headquarters of South Garo Hills, was abducted along with a trader identified as Kamal Saha while they were travelling in Sumo along with other passengers from Rongara village to Baghmara on September 24. Moreover, on continuation of peace talks with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), he said the Government of India wanted to continue with the peace talks with NSCN-K. “It is the NSCN (K) which has abrogated the peace talks,” he added.

Noting that India's borders with China and Pakistan are "hyper sensitive", Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh on September 26, blamed Pakistan for waging a proxy war against India, reports The Times of India. "Pakistan was regularly violating the ceasefire agreement, however, our forces were giving them a befitting reply," Singh said on the sidelines of a function in Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh on September 26. He said that security arrangements on Indian borders with Pakistan and China are reviewed keeping the situation-at-the-moment in mind. India's aggressive approach against the infiltrators during Narendra Modi government has resulted in 130 terrorists being killed. These were basically infiltrators trying to sneak into Indian Territory since 2014 compared to 110 in 2013 and 67 in 2012, Singh said. However, there has been a steep downfall in infiltration cases and has come down to only 15 this year from 52 in 2014, 264 in 2013 and 277 in 2013, he further said.

Two seizures of Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) from Bangladesh in the last one week, including INR 27.1 million from a consignment arrived at Chittagong port from Dubai on September 20 and INR 12.8 million from a Bangladeshi flying into Dhaka from Dubai on September 22, have deepened India's suspicion that Pakistani agents are producing FICN in bulk at facilities in the Gulf and shipping it back to south Asian ports and airports for entry into India, The Times of India reports on September 28. In September 20 case, the consignment was sent by Shahiduzzaman, a Bangladeshi national (passport no BC-0635715), who hails from Hathhazari, Chittagong District, but is a resident of Dubai. Suspected to be closely associated with the Pakistani agencies, he has been using his business contacts and network in Chittagong to assist smuggling of contraband through the Chittagong area primarily targeted for the adjoining north-east India. The interrogation of the five arrested in the case has revealed that the FICN assignment was to be taken to Comilla and Feni Districts along the Tripura border. Later, on September 22, the Bangladeshi authorities intercepted a Bangladeshi national travelling from Dubai to Dhaka and recovered FICN worth INR 12.8 million from his possession. According to sources in the Indian intelligence agencies, the latest couple of seizures take the total amount of FICN recovered from Bangladesh since January 2014 to over INR 2.3 million. Most FICN hauls were from flights arriving into Bangladesh either directly from Pakistan or from Dubai, Colombo, Doha and Turkey. The Pakistan-inspired FICN rackets are seen as Islamabad's covert economic warfare to undermine India's national economy. A senior Indian intelligence official said Bangladeshi authorities have been vigilant and alert to actively counter and thwart the FICN network and are working in close tandem with international agencies.

Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a case under Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) to investigate suspected hawala (illegal money transaction) operations behind the over INR 450 million cash which was seized in Kolkata (West Bengal) as part of a crackdown against lottery operatives channeling illegal funds for the Dawood Ibrahim gang, Economic Times reports on September 29. The agency, sources said, registered a case after it got leads that the racket had spread its tentacles to foreign shores in Europe, Middle-East and Nepal and a few other countries. The case pertains to the Income Tax department seizing over INR 450 million cash, which was found stashed in gunny bags and almirahs, in Kolkata and adjoining areas as part of a crackdown against lottery and hawala dealers. The operation was initiated following inputs by the Intelligence Bureau (IB) about an alleged fake lottery racket which has its reach extending up to Tamil Nadu. Two firms, identified as G Systems and FP Enterprises, are under the scanner of the agencies. "It is suspected that these firms were involved in running a fake lottery racket, the criminal proceeds of which were being sent to Dubai to fund the illegal activities of global terrorist Dawood Ibrahim," sources had said.

Further, the Police said suspected Achik Matgrik Elite Force (AMEF) rebels had abducted the nine passengers of the Resubelpara-bound bus coming from Dudhnoi in Goalpara District in Assam. "The kidnapping seems to be the handiwork of a breakaway group of AMEF. We have arrested one person. Search is on," said Superintendent of Police (SP), North Garo Hills, Ramesh Singh. Yesterday, the AMEF had sent an email to the media saying members of the outfit who had deserted the ranks were involved in the abduction. Five cadres of the AMEF had recently deserted the outfit. They are Basrang M. Sangma alias Asilang from Hatimarini village, Niksrang Ch Marak alias Rarik from Lower Sambrak, Sengrak Marak alias Saljatchi from Rimrangpara Gagagre, Chiseng Sangma alias Guare, also from Lower Sambrak, and Beltush Sangma from Rongmatchu village. The militants stopped the bus and asked everyone to disembark before choosing 16 targets, all of them from a particular community. Of the 16, seven were allowed to go. Sources said the bus driver reported the matter to the Police at Rongmil in North Garo Hills, who later visited the spot. The next day, the driver also reported the incident at Wageasi outpost. The conductor of the bus, identified as Avinash Ray, was among those abducted and released. Another source claimed that there were two Security Force (SF) personnel on the bus, including a Border Security Force (BSF) trooper. However, this could not be confirmed.

Border Security Force (BSF) Inspector General (IG), Jammu Frontiers, Rakesh Sharma on September 29, said that India was not constructing any wall along the International Border (IB) in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) as claimed by Pakistan and dismissed the claims as a “baseless story”, reports Daily Excelsior. He said it was not possible to construct a wall along the IB keeping in view the topography of the area where the IB is situated. “This is a story created by Pakistan. There is no wall being constructed on the IB in Jammu and Kashmir”, Sharma told reporters. In addition, when asked to comment on the recently held Director General (DG) level talks with Pakistan, Sharma said, “It (situation along IB) appears to be peaceful as of now and both the sides are maintaining peace on the border and let us see how things move ahead”. On the issue of number of militants waiting across the border to cross into Indian side, he said, “I really cannot say at this point of time, but I am very sure that Pakistan must respond to the promises made during the meeting and they will not allow any infiltration to happen through the IB and we are also watchful and guardful”.

Central intelligence agencies have alerted Delhi and Rajasthan Police of possible terror strike by the Islamic State (IS), The Times of India reports on September 29. Delhi Police's intelligence unit has forwarded the threat perception alert to special cell of Delhi Police. Central intelligence agencies have said a possible strike by IS is eminent in the coming festive season. Sources said Delhi Police's intelligence unit had forwarded the alert to the Special Cell, which is now developing leads on the basis of the inputs. In Delhi, intercepts suggest the attack could be carried out by a "lone wolf", or a single member of the outfit. However, with the possibility of Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) operatives working for IS, an attack involving two-three men cannot be ruled out either. Delhi's vulnerability has grown manifold with the merger of IS and Ansar-ut-Tawheed (AuT), which has been voicing its plans to target India for some time. Besides, agencies have been warning Delhi Police of impending threats and possible recruitments by IS. "Agencies have a list of youths who were contacted by IS and AuT. They have written to us to keep a watch on the online activities of these outfits. Last year, AuT uploaded video messages from various IS operatives, including the Friday sermon of its 'chief' Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi in which he called for a jihad against India," said an officer.

Interest in the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and jihadi organizations is on the rise in Assam, which has got the State Police worried, revealed Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Khagen Sarma on September 29, reports The Sentinel. Speaking at a press conference held at the Assam Police headquarters in Guwahati, the DGP said that although no ISIS activity has yet been seen in the State, internet users are frequently making ISIS related searches. No one from Assam has joined the IS so far, but rising interest in the terror organisation is a worrying aspect, said Sarma. “Many people have visited the ISIS websites through Internet and the hits recorded by these websites indicate that it is more than curiosity. It is on the higher side like in Jammu and Kashmir or in Andhra Pradesh,” the DGP said. “We do not have the expertise and equipment to monitor this but the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) is monitoring all these developments,” the DGP said, adding the cyber cell of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Assam Police, is also working on it. The DGP also said that the Assam Police is striving to increase the ratio of female Police personnel vis-a-vis male personnel. Stating that at present there are 65, 000 personnel in Assam Police, he said, “We have already posted 1,036 female constables. In each Police station presently, at least two female constables will be there.”

Meanwhile, to swiftly provide medical aid to troops undertaking anti-Maoist operations, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has set up four field hospitals deep inside Bastar in Chhattisgarh, reports firstpost.com. The force has named these facilities after local tribal freedom fighter Veer Gundadhur. The demand for such hospitals had been made as contingents of security forces, largely CRPF and its elite commando squad Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA), are deployed in remote jungle areas and transportation is a challenge owing to the Maoist strategy of stealthily planting land mines in roads and laying deadly ambushes. "One of our major challenges was the delay in the evacuation of injured men especially in improvised explosive device (IED) blasts. We have set up four field hospitals in Chintalnar, Chintagufa, Bheji and Basaguda which are right in the heart of the conflict zones so that we can provide care to our jawans [troopers] during the golden hour," CRPF Director General Prakash Mishra told PTI. These hospitals have been named after the great tribal freedom fighter Veer Gundadhur who belonged to this area.

Cadres of more than 20 armed Kuki groups are now staying at various designated camps across the state.

With the festive season round the corner, intelligence agencies and Delhi Police have gone into overdrive to check a massive influx of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) into the capital, The Times of India reports on September 29. According to sources, FICN kingpin Iqbal Kana and Dawood Ibrahim's aide, Aftab Batki, are in the process of sending in huge consignments of FICN by road and air. Police suspect couriers will cross over to Bihar through porous Indo-Nepal and Indo-Bangladesh borders and reach Delhi by train. In Bihar, one consignment could be used in the upcoming elections, according to the intelligence inputs. According to rough estimates by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and other agencies, fake notes with face value of INR 1.2 -1.5 billion are being pumped into India through various routes. While Batki and Kana are among the known figures helping the Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in the fake note supply, agencies have also identified other key players like Aslam Choudhary, Subha Bhai, Sheikh Safi and Sikander. The routes used to smuggle the fake notes into India include UAE, Bangladesh, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and China. "We have information that suppliers may attempt to pump in fake currency notes in the coming days. We are focusing to infiltrate the Malda network, which is highly organized. The conduits who receive the consignments from peddlers in Malda take extreme precautions in concealing their identities and hideouts and they avoid direct communications with the peddlers," Joint Commissioner of Police (crime) Ravindra Yadav commented.

Bluntly calling Pakistan a "prime sponsor of terrorism," India on September 30 asked Islamabad to vacate the part of Kashmir it has occupied, virtually laying down a new paradigm for any resolution of the issue, reports The Times of India. "Pakistan is not primary victim of terrorism but of its own policies. It is in fact the prime sponsor of terrorism. Pakistan's instability arises from its breeding of terrorists. Blaming neighbors is not a solution," spokesman of India's ministry of external affairs Vikas Swarup stated in Twitter. New Delhi's response came after Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had launched his country's familiar lament about Pakistan being a victim of terrorism and the need to "demilitarize" Kashmir and give the state the right of self-determination at the United Nations (UN). "To de-militarize Kashmir is not the answer, to de-terrorize Pakistan is," Swarup stated back.

Appealing for peace, Rijiju said that violence is the only factor that is holding back the progress of the region, which otherwise has everything that could make it a great destination of India. “North East is really beautiful region. Once we remove the violence from the region I can tell you it is the place to be. Only thing is we need to secure the place and once peace prevails prosperity will follow,” he added.

Naval warship INS Kochi, the largest-ever warship to be built in India, was commissioned by Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar at the Naval Dockyard in Mumbai, The Times of India reports on September 30. INS Kochi is packed with weapons and sensors as well as advanced stealth features. The Navy has plans to become a 200-warship force with around 600 aircraft and helicopters by 2027 to ensure it can effectively guard the country's expanding geo-strategic interests in the backdrop of the Indian Ocean Region (IOR) emerging as "the world's centre of gravity". The IOR has over 120 warships at any given time, with China fast becoming a force to reckon with in the region. China is expanding its naval footprint mainly to safeguard its energy supplies passing through the IOR but India can ill-afford to ignore its strategic moves. "We have to be on guard. India's developmental destiny is strongly linked to the seas around us. While we do not want competition with China to turn into conflict in IOR, we have to be ready and keep our powder dry," said another senior officer.

After perusal of the CD files, Special Judge NIA observed, “the investigation of the case is scattered across various places of J&K and more persons are involved in conspiracy which needs to be verified”, adding “some of the co-accused are still absconding which is causing difficulties in unearthing the larger conspiracy behind the attack on BSF (Border Security Force) convoy”. With these observations, court extended the 14 days judicial remand of Naved, Khursheed and Showkat.

Suspected militants of the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) and National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K), attacked Kakopathar Police Station in Tinsukia District on September 30, with sophisticated weapons and rocket-propelled grenades, but there was no casualty, reports The Sentinel. Tinsukia Superintendent of Police (SP) Mugdhajyoti Mahanta, who rushed to the spot, said the attack took place at around 8 pm. "The militants fired at the police station from near an SBI ATM located about 100 metres away. Personnel at the police station retaliated and went after the militants. The militants fled after firing an RPG which, however, did not explode," Mahanta said, adding that no one sustained injuries in the exchange of fire. He said though initially it was believed that there were four militants – two ULFA cadres and two from NSCN-K – possibility of the presence of a fifth militant is not ruled out. “Moreover, there could be a few more who were positioned for ambushes,” the SP said, adding that a manhunt has been launched to arrest them.

The officials of Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI)-Patna and Muzaffarpur arrested a 28-year-old man, identified as Ali Akhtar Ansari and seized a consignment of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) of face value INR 25,43,000 at Raxaul in East Champaran District on September 30, reports The Times of India. The intelligence officials acted on a tip-off that a fake note consignment was set to be pumped into India using an international courier service. "We got the information about the consignment being in Raxaul on September 24 and asked the courier company to make it a control delivery instead of home delivery so that we could nab the recipient. We laid the trap and waited patiently for seven days so that the accused didn't get any chance to flee," DRI sources said. "The courier was brought from Dubai via Delhi and was marked as household goods. It had some snacks and chocolates and the FICN was also concealed in a box," the DRI officials said. Altogether 51 bundles of Rs 500 denomination were recovered by the cops. "The accused is an active member of an international gang and the mastermind of the racketeers is based in Nepal. These very high quality fake notes are pumped into India by Pakistan ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] operatives but they route fake currencies in India through other nations to deny their involvement in the matter," DRI sources said adding, "Ansari's bank account has several transactions with Dubai and several of his calls were from Nepal and Dubai."
