As part of its probe into an alleged terror plot to target the US consulate in Chennai (Tamil Nadu) and the Israeli consulate in Bangalore (Karnataka), the National Investigation Agency (NIA) received details of an email account from the US, under the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT), providing further evidence of the involvement of a Pakistani national, “Shahjee”, in the conspiracy, sources said, Indian Express reports on February 2. The details received by the NIA provide evidence that the email account was created and operated by one “Shahjee” who has been named by Hussain as Sri Lanka based handler Amir Zubair Siddiqui's right hand man. The email account was registered under Shahjee’s name, and the details provided allegedly show that the email account was used to communicate with Siddiqui’s personal account and with email addresses operated from Pakistan. The sources added the email account was even found to have been operated from the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo. The name “Shahjee” had also cropped up during the interrogation of Sri Lankan national Arun Selvarajan, who was arrested by the NIA in Chennai in September, 2014 for allegedly spying on vital installations in the city at the behest of Siddiqui.

The Indian security establishment is pushing for the Government to arrive at a policy and frame a law to deal with those going abroad to join the ranks of the Islamic State (IS), The Times of India reports on February 2. The government is concerned that the porous Turkey-Syria border may be used by Indians wanting to fight for IS to enter into Syria, the route also used by thousands of Europeans looking to take up arms with IS. Intelligence agencies believe, given the influence the idea of IS is wielding over the internet, where young professionals from good families are ready to risk everything to fight alongside IS without being invited, it's a phenomenon that cannot be ignored even if there is no immediate threat to India from the outfit.

China and Russia on February 2 decided to back India for moving a proposal at the United Nations (UN) that essentially goes against Pakistan on the issue of terrorism, reports The Times of India. In order to corner Pakistan for sheltering and facilitating terrorists involved the November 26, 2008 (26/11) carnage and other attacks in the country, India seeks to move a resolution in the UN to punish those who shelter and finance terrorism. And on February 2, it enlisted the support of China and Russia for the same. "I see this as a major achievement," Exteral Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj thus commented. After the (Russia India China) RIC summit attended by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov and Swaraj, a joint communiqué was issued which "underlined the need to bring to justice perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of terrorist acts". The three foreign ministers called for early conclusion of negotiations on the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism. India had moved this resolution 19 years back that has since remained inconclusive, Swaraj explained. "The ministers reiterated that there can be no ideological, religious, political, racial, ethnic, or any other justification for acts of terrorism," the resolution said.

The widespread use of the internet to foment trouble and brainwash youngsters into joining the terror bandwagon has prompted the Maharashtra Government to seek the Centre's approval for a Cyber Emergency Response Team (CERT), reports The Times of India on February 3. Maharashtra Chief Minister (CM) Devendra Fadnavis has written to Union Communications and Information Technology (IT) Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in this regard. In the letter, Fadnavis said that CERT will enhance cyber security in the state and boost the National Government's IT infrastructure through collaboration. "We will extend all logistical support." Mumbai is responsible for about 50% of India's total internet load (as per multi-router traffic statistics), he wrote. "Mumbai is more vulnerable to international and domestic cyber attacks. With an expanding cyber environment and resultant vulnerability, the next terrorist attack on Mumbai may possibly be a cyber attack." A senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer said the state stepped up efforts to combat cyber-linked terror after four youths from Kalyan were found to have flown to Iraq to join Islamic State (IS). "We increased vigil on websites and monitored the online activities of the Kalyan youths," he said. At present, Kerala is the only state with a CERT.

Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) organised a three-day joint workshop with the US Department of Justice on 'Mutual Legal Assistance and Extradition' in New Delhi, underlining the increased use of Internet by terror groups like Islamic State (IS) to recruit and influence youths, Business Standard reports on February 4. CBI sources said as many as 28 extradition requests are pending with the US and the agency faces difficulties in collecting evidence in the USA, especially when it comes to private companies holding Internet data. "The workshop will focus on procedures adopted by both the countries to seek and provide mutual legal assistance, the provisions of India-USA Mutual Assistance Treaty including Asset Recovery/Forfeiture and Extradition procedures...The workshop will also discuss how to obtain information related to Bank Accounts and Digital Evidence from the US and the related laws of the US and Cyber crime issues, which are transnational in nature," an agency spokesperson said. CBI Director Anil Sinha said there is increased use of Internet technology by contemporary criminals for the purpose of recruitment and radicalisation, training, financing and coordinating attacks, indicating at IS.

Though there is no official confirmation from the Police regarding Afaaq offering to turn approver in the case, sources in the Bengaluru police indicate that he had given his consent to cooperate. Sources in the Bengaluru Police said: “Afaaq has agreed to become an approver in the case by revealing details of the IM module and all the sleeper cells in Karnataka. He took this decision after meeting his family members in jail. This will make our case stronger.” He is expected to submit a letter in this context to the court, which is hearing the matter.

Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) trained Khalistan terrorists from the United Kingdom (UK) in Thailand last year (2014) to launch strikes in India, according to senior officials of Punjab Police who along with sleuths of central security agencies interrogated two such terrorists arrested recently in Thailand, reports Hindustan Times on February 6 (today). The security agencies in Thailand arrested Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) 'chief' Harminder Singh alias Mintoo, in November 2014, and Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) 'chief' Jagtar Singh Tara, one of the alleged assassins of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh, on January 5, 2015 According to the reports, a Lahore posted Lieutenant colonel-rank Army officer of the ISI, identified as “Chaudhary” by Indian spy agencies, was the handler of Mintoo and Tara. He shifted Mintoo and Tara separately from Pakistan to Thailand last year (2014) to “develop sleeper cells in India”. Top ranking Punjab Police sources said that this ISI officer later held a camp from July 5 to 13, 2014 at Mea Sot (a town in Thailand bordering Myanmar) in which “five UK-based Khalistan terrorists” were trained in assembling and handling of explosives made from locally available material. Inspector General (IG) counter-intelligence Punjab Police Gaurav Yadav said, “Necessary follow-up actions (regarding ISI training UK-based Khalistan terrorists in Thailand) are being taken.” Based on the interrogation reports of the two arrested men that the State Police and central agencies are collating, it has emerged that Gursharanvir Singh (living in Coventry of England) and Birmingham resident Piyara Singh Gill, also wanted by Punjab Police in August 2009 killing on Rulda Singh, President of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) wing Rashtriya Sikh Sangat, were among the five UK-based Khalistan terrorists who attended the training camp in Thailand. Reports said that the central agencies have already approached UK authorities for their extradition.

Asserting that India has been suffering from the menace of “exported terrorism” in Kashmir, National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval has said the country’s strong democratic structure and genuinely pluralistic society has not allowed any fertile ground for Islamist terror, Doval was participating in a panel discussion on ‘War on Terror’ at the 51st Munich Security Conference in Munich, Germany on February 7, reports Daily Excelsior. Successive Indian Governments have pursued a policy of closely integrating all minority groups into the mainstream of the society and as a result radical Islamists could not succeed in propagating their extremist ideologies among the Muslim population, said Doval. He made the remarks while answering a question from one of the participants on what India has done better than many other countries having large Muslim populations to prevent radicalisation and to deny breeding grounds for Islamist terror. Doval said India has been suffering from the menace of “exported terrorism” in Kashmir.

As per the ASSOCHAM-Mahindra SSG study, the reporting of cyber crimes in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka went up by 117 per cent during 2012-13 causing havoc in the financial space, security establishment and social fabric, dnaindia.com reports on February 9. According to the joint study on “Cyber and Network Security Framework”, in 2013, 681 cyber crime related cases were registered in Maharashtra, which saw a 44.6 per cent rise in cyber crimes when compared to 2012. Andhra Pradesh with 635 cases registered in 2013 also saw a 48 per cent rise when compared to 2012. Karnataka with 513 cases registered in 2013 saw a 24.5 per cent rise compared to 2012. Uttar Pradesh with 372 cases registered in 2013 is in the fourth place. Kerala is in the 5th place with 349 cases registered in 2013, highlights the study. Tamil Nadu and Bihar have very few cyber crime related cases with just 54 cases registered in Tamil Nadu and 23 cases in Bihar in 2013. Gujarat and Odisha have also registered just 61 and 63 cases respectively in 2013. Among the Union Territories, the national capital Delhi has registered 131 cyber crime related cases. It has seen a rise of 72.4 per cent when compared to 2012. D.S Rawat, Secretary General ASSOCHAM said, “What is causing more concern is that the origin of these crimes is widely based abroad in countries including China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Algeria among others”. “Phishing attacks of online banking accounts or cloning of ATM/Debit cards are common occurrences. The increasing use of mobile/smart-phones/tablets for online banking/financial transactions has also increased the vulnerabilities to a great extent. The maximum offenders came from the 18-30 age group”, adds the report.

Citing the horrific killings in Syria, France and in a Peshawar school (Pakistan), President Pranab Mukherjee on February 8 urged the international community to assert itself and take concerted and determined action against terrorism of which India is one of the oldest victims, reports The Times of India. "We have, in recent days, witnessed the horrific killings of innocent hostages in Syria, the attack on the media in Paris and the tragic killing of school children and their teachers in Peshawar. India is one of the oldest victims of terrorism. There is no good terrorism or bad terrorism. Terrorism respects no religion, ideology or nation. It is no longer a debating issue. The international community must assert itself and tackle the problem by taking concerted, coordinated and determined action," Mukherjee said while addressing the sixth conference of ambassadors and high commissioners who head Indian missions abroad. "Terrorism is today an industry of evil. It is not just a threat to peace and security but an attack on humanity as a whole and civilization as we understand.... The international community must assert itself and tackle the problem by taking concerted, coordinated and determined action," he said. The President called upon India's ambassadors and high commissioners to apply themselves to how this challenge can be addressed and to come up with ideas on how to mobilize the world to take concrete action that will mitigate and end this menace.

Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on February 9 said that a "fresh look" needs to be taken at the specific global laws and protocols which are necessary to effectively crack down on the menace of cyber crime and web-enabled financial frauds, reports Business Standard. Inaugurating a week-long training programme on "Financial Offences and Cyber Crimes", CBI Director Anil Sinha said that "the problems of today cannot be solved by using the skills and knowledge of yesterday." "Anonymity and connectivity of cyber world have enabled white collar criminals to exploit financial systems from far away jurisdictions, which not only makes detection and prosecution of economic offences difficult, but the recovery of the proceeds of crimes stashed away in different nations also becomes more complex," he added. Sinha underlined the need for an efficient and dynamic capacity-building programme and the "need to have a fresh look at the legislations and protocols to enable better international cooperation to tackle the emerging challenges in the 21st century".

The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) started deploying its personnel in some parts of the areas in India-Nepal border, but without lethal weapons, dajiworld.com reports on February 10. DIG (Deputy Inspector General), SSB, Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Pratap Singh Chudawat said this new initiative has been taken to avoid a negative perception by the public moving on both sides of the border. The major tasks of these unarmed SSB jawans (troopers) will be combating human trafficking, curbing circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs), illicit drugs, illegal trade in wildlife body parts and terrorism. According to him, unarmed SSB jawans will be deployed in plainclothes and a green jacket. The deployment is under "mutual practical group" or "Parasparik Bebaharik Dal". Initially such deployment will be carried out in Sunauli (Bhairawa) and Rupaidiha (Nepalgunj). If this shows positive results, the SSB will extend the deployment of such personnel to other parts of the border, Chudawat said. He further stated that such deployment will be made at eight more border points along the Indian states of Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal.

The Special Police team formed to investigate into the seizure of 2,173 sim cards have stumbled upon some videos and pictures of arson and riots in troubled Iraq in the facebook of main accused Sharif Khan hinting of his possible links with Islamic State (IS), The Times of India reports on February 10. Police have also found INR 64,00,000 in Khan's four bank accounts. Police have written to the banks to furnish the source of the money. Prima facie Khan told police that the amount has been deposited by a mobile service provider for selling sim cards and porting them but when police questioned that service provider they completely denied it. ``We have taken all pains to find the source of the videos of ISIS and who and how so much money have been deposited in his accounts but he has been giving vague replies.

Moreover even the scrutiny of his facebook account Police found that he was in touch with `friends' from Afghanistan, Israel, China, Myanmar, Denmark, Indonesia, Turkey and other countries which has raised more suspicion of his links with fundamentalist.

Worried over attempts by outfits such as Islamic State (IS) to propagate jihadi ideology among young Indian Muslims, the Union Home Ministry (UHM) is studying an "extremism counseling hotline" set up recently by the Austrian authorities, for possible replication in India, The Times of India reports on February 10. Such a counselling facility, if found feasible in the Indian context, will enable parents, teachers and friends of "vulnerable and indoctrinated" youth to seek professional help for their "deradicalisation". Keen to have a domestic counter-radicalisation/deradicalisation policy in place to stem the growing appeal of terror outfits among young Muslims, the Indian security establishment has started examining the best practices followed around the world to wean off sections attracted to jihadi ideology. This includes the US' counter-radicalisation program focused on community outreach, UK's Prevent and Channel programmes as well as Austria's latest deradicalisation counselling initiative. A senior officer of the Indian government said that while US and UK's deradicalization programmes appear to have met with limited success, the Austrian helpline centre, which is not linked to the police but manned by non-profit groups, has got an encouraging response within a couple of months of its launch. The deradicalization centre also conducts educational lectures and puts out material to help identify potential threats. According to a Senior UHM official, a study of impact of deradicalization policies of the US and UK indicates an element of mistrust among their respective Muslim communities, with many members seeing these as a masked effort at "spying". There have been many cases of recidivism among the deradicalised terror recruits. While the US' counter-radicalization efforts are focused on working with the communities to report suspicious activity, the UK's Prevent program seeks to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism through proper advice and support. 'Prevent' works with sectors like education, criminal justice, faith, charities and online where there are risks of radicalization to be dealt with. A linked initiative called Channel helps to fight radicalization by giving individuals access to health and education, specialist mentoring and diversionary activities.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) named suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Ajaz Shaikh as 'accused number 6' in the Dilsukhnagar twin blasts (February 21, 2014) case, accusing him of financing the terror strike, The Times of India reports on February 11. Ajaz was arrested by Delhi Police's Special Cell last September form Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh. NIA sleuths filed a petition in the Special Court for NIA cases in Nampally, a few days ago declaring Ajaz Shaikh, a BPO executive from Pune (Maharashtra) and part of an IM sleeper cell, as the sixth accused and charged him with financing INR 6,80,000 for executing the blasts. NIA officials sought the court's permission to get Ajaz, now in Tihar jail, to Hyderabad on transit. The court directed the agency to produce him by February 15. It is learnt that the prime accused in the case, Riyaz Bhatkal, used to send money to Ajaz from Dubai and Kuwait through foreign exchange and hawala (illegal money transfer) route. After collecting the money, he used to send it to different people on instructions from Riyaz through the hawala route for funding terror strikes. "Ajaz has been accused of sending money through hawala to a Mangalore-based businessman, who passed it on to Asadullah Akhtar and Waqas. A few days later, the two had used the money for executing the twin blasts. However, Ajaz was reportedly kept in the dark about the identity of the receiver and its purpose. Though he knew that he was handling money for financing terror operations, he was not aware of the location and other details. He learnt about the details from media reports, post various blasts,'' sources said.

India and the US on February 12 pledged to jointly target financial networks and fund raising by Pakistan-based terrorist organisations as also the D-Company of fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, reports Deccan Chronicle. The two nations vowed to work together to check illicit money transfers for terrorism, money laundering and other illegal activities. The agreement came at a meeting of the 5th Indo-US Economic and Financial Partnership dialogue, which was attended by the US Treasury Secretary Jacob J Lew and Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. Besides Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai terror attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed's Jam'mat-ud-Dawa (JuD), the two nations identified Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), the Haqqani Network, D-Company, al Qaida and Islamic State (IS) among terror networks whose funding have to be cut off. "We reiterated our commitment to target the financial networks and fund raising activities of terrorist organisations such as LeT, JuD, Jaishe-e-Mohammad, the Haqqani Network, D-Company, Al Qaida, ISIL, and individual terrorists associated with these organisations," said the statement. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan and US Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer too attended the deliberations that agreed for information sharing between two countries and cooperation on anti-money laundering and terror financing. At a joint press interaction, Lew said the two nations "share a common commitment to working together to try as much as we can to shut down the flow of funding to those who commit terrorist act and other kinds of activities". "We discussed money laundering and funding of terrorism, since a large number of these funds come through concealed identities. This issue has been brought to out notice and the concerned authorities, including central bank, has taken appropriate action in this matter," Jaitley said. "We welcomed the agreements made for information sharing between the two countries' regulatory agencies. We welcomed the prospect of an increasingly robust dialogue and meaningful cooperation on anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism with the signing of the India-US Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in January 2015.

The Islamic State (IS) sympathisers active in Indian metros, hunting for potential recruits among the youth attracted to the jihadi group's ideology, are on the radar of the intelligence agencies, India Today reports on February 13. Nearly 35 self-radicalised jihadis have been identified for spreading the dogma of the IS, a new intelligence dossier suggests. The dossier also mentions that the IS sympathisers are physically moving around to find recruits. "The campaign is being carried out by word of mouth, not through the internet," an intelligence official said. Some elements seen as "IS sympathisers" and mentioned on the Intelligence list are on a recruitment spree in fertile grounds in Mumbai (Maharashtra), Chennai (Tamil Nadu), Kolkata (West Bengal), Bangalore (Karnataka)and Hyderabad. Based on the inputs from the Intelligence Bureau (IB)and state intelligence units, a dossier has been shared with the Union Home Ministry (UHM) on those now under surveillance. "A group active in many cities is looking for people attracted to the IS ideology and then indoctrinates them," a government official said. Sources said the number of active supporters in this network could be higher. The group is working on the ground and not in cyber space as its members fear they could be easily tracked, the gathered inputs reveal.

Aurangabad (Maharashtra) Police Commissioner, Rajender Singh on February 14 emphasized on creating awareness among internet users to prevent cybercrime, reports The Times of India.

In 2012, 31 cases were registered under the Information Technology (IT) Act and the number rose to 47 the following year. Gautam Patare, Senior Inspector of the cybercrime cell, said over 50 such cases were registered in 2014.

Dawood Ibrahim who has an Interpol Red Corner Notice pending against him for allegedly being a key 1993 Mumbai serial blasts’ conspirator, has been confirmed to be located in Karachi (Sindh, Pakistan) as disclosed by his purported voice in a recent intercept of his telephonic conversation with an aide, Hindustan Times reports on February 15. In the intercept done by an Indian security agency, a voice, purportedly belonging to Dawood indicated he is in the Pakistani city. Two months ago, there was an intercept of his conversations where he was purportedly talking about his alleged Dubai real-estate investments. The two-minute conversation, which seemed coded in parts, featured Dawood and an aide discussing issues including: pending works at a construction site at an unclear location, arrangements with a Dubai-based aide for a business deal and the need to send “around three lakh Dirhams” to the latter via ‘Yasir’, said an investigator requesting anonymity.

Suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Ajaz Shaikh, who has been named accused in the Dilsukhnagar blasts (February 21, 2014) case, has not only been a hawala (illegal money transaction) money organiser, but also the one who arranged fake identity cards for others involved in the twin blasts, The Times of India reports on February 16. The National Investigation Agency (NIA), is likely to bring Shaikh to Hyderabad and produce him in a local court on February 16 (today). The NIA had named Shaikh as the sixth accused in the case. "Using various software tools, Shaikh created fake IDs and supplied them to IM operatives since 2010. With these fake documents, Asadullah had entered into a rental agreement with a flat owner in Mangalore in November, 2012, and subsequently came to Hyderabad to execute the twin blasts," intelligence sources said.

This is the first conviction under TADA for Salem, who is also being tried under the Act in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. Holding Salem guilty, Special Judge G A Sanap said, "In the backdrop of the use of sophisticated firearms and the brutal murder committed by pumping 17 bullets into the body of Pradeep Jain and causing bullet injury to Sunil Jain (the builder's brother), the prosecution has proved the act was done with an intention to strike terror in the minds of the Jains and the builder community."

During the Indo-Bangladesh Home secretary-level talks in New Delhi on February 16 and 17, Indian Home secretary L C Goyal has proposed an anti-terror pact with the eastern neighbour, envisaging a structured mechanism for exchange of terror information and updates, reports The Times of India on February 20. Goyal also handed to his Bangladeshi counterpart Md Mozammel Haque Khan a list of 39 camps of Indian Insurgent Groups (IIGs) still operating out of Bangladeshi territory. Seeking a crackdown on the camps of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA), National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB), National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) and United National Liberation Front (UNLF) etc, concentrated in the Chittagong region, the Indian side is believed to have provided Dhaka with their detailed coordinates. The proposed Indo-Bangladesh anti-terror pact seeks to boost security ties between the two countries through regular exchange of terror information and intelligence on short-term and long-term threats, joint investigation of terror cases with cross-country linkages (including one relating to Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh [JMB]'s activities), coordinated counter-terror action as well as exchange of training and best counter-terror practices. The formalization of the agreement will also pave the way for enhanced cooperation between Indian and Bangladeshi agencies to check terror financing and circulation of counterfeit currency. A senior Home Ministry officer said "The Bangladeshi home secretary, while acknowledging the need for closer anti-terror cooperation with India, said he would relay India's proposal to the Sheikh Hasina Government, which would then take a call on the way forward." Meanwhile, Goyal also updated Khan on the status of ratification of the Indo-Bangladesh Land Boundary Agreement. Report also said that a constitutional amendment bill is expected to be taken up in the coming session of Parliament for consideration and passage.

Police Commissioner M N Reddi on February 16 said his teams have identified two terror outfits behind the December 28, 2014 blast of Bangalore (Karnataka), reports The Times of India. Reddy said the blast was the handiwork of sleeping cells from two neighbouring states. Sources said one sleeper cell from Tamil Nadu and another from Andhra Pradesh had joined hands to plot and execute the blast. "The teams are working outside Karnataka. Developments were reviewed at the weekly meeting," he said. "The special teams are concentrating on collecting material evidence. They haven't used mobile phones or any other mode of electronic communication. The blast material is almost similar to the one used in the explosion outside the state BJP headquarters in Malleswaram in April 2013," sources said. Police had a tough time cracking the case as there was no eyewitness accounts and CCTV footage from the site.

According to a report published in the latest edition of the Combating Terrorism Exchange (CTX) journal, radical Islamist group Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HuT), which cleverly avoided global scrutiny while spreading its ideology, may become a more dangerous terrorist group than the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and its presence in South Asia should be a cause for concern for India, reports The Asian Age on February 19. The report said that “While ISIS runs amok in Syria and Iraq, demanding media attention through acts of barbarous cruelty, HuT (the Party of Liberation) is quietly building a global infrastructure of radicalised youth and deep-pocketed Arab support in preparation for the global Khilafat,” The terrorist group has cleverly avoided any intense global scrutiny while spreading its ideology and support base in nearly 50 countries, said the report. The group commands a base of over one million members worldwide. This is far higher than what ISIS claims to have. The report also said HuT has an armed wing called Harakat ul-Muhojirinfi Britaniya that is training its cadres in chemical, bacteriological, and biological warfare. Founded in Jerusalem in 1952 and headquartered in London, the group has branches in Central Asia, Europe, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, where it has managed to garner great influence. In South Asia, HuT has a significant presence in Pakistan and Bangladesh. “Although HuT has reportedly found a foothold in India, its presence and influence have not made any significant impact,” said the multimedia journal on strategic and security affairs. “HuT’s growing presence in neighbouring Bangladesh and Pakistan should be a cause of concern for India and the larger global community,” it said. On its website, HuT claimed that it had organised a demonstration in 2010 at Batla House in Delhi in protest against Israel’s alleged atrocities. The demonstration, which was attended by about 1,000 people, was HuT’s last reported activity in India, said the report prepared by Surinder Kumar Sharma, who is associated with Delhi-based Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA).

In Home Secretary level talks concluding on February 18, India and Bangladesh have agreed to tread an extra mile to help each other in resolving anti national and terror activities in their areas, reports DNA. Bangladesh has assured India that it would construct border outposts (BOPs) along the uncharted territory of Tripura and Mizoram to check proliferation of camps of Indian Insurgent Groups (IIGs) in Chittagong area and to put a stop to unbridled human trafficking through the porous border. Sources said that "To help India weed out terror training camps of insurgent groups, Bangladesh has offered to construct 40 more BOPs in addition to the 13 that have already been constructed. The BOPs will be manned by the Border Guards Bangladesh (BGB) to ensure that IIGs camps are demolished and one of the biggest corridors for human trafficking is plugged." India's Home Secretary LC Goyal also told his Bangladeshi counterpart, Mozammel Haque Khan that the Indian security agencies that have already tightened their grip to stop all forms of anti-Bangladesh activities will continue work in close coordination of Bangladesh to check Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB). The assurance assumes special significance following the October 2, 2014 Burdwan bomb blast in West Bengal and the subsequent developments. The secretary level talk was followed by joint working group (JWG) meeting of both the countries.

Pakistan has told India it is was working towards a ban on Jama'at-ud-Dawa (JuD), a front for Lashkar e Toiba (LeT), but the fate of Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, the 26/11 Mumbai attack architect, was entirely for the court to decide, reports Hindustan Times on February 19. According to the sources, Islamabad sensitised New Delhi on the two issues during a string of ‘under the radar’ meetings that National Security Adviser (NSA) AK Doval held with Pakistan High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit. These meetings paved the way for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cricket diplomacy. A Pakistan official involved in the negotiation process said that "We are trying to ban the JuD because it was placed on the list of banned organsiations by the United Nations (UN) soon after the Mumbai attacks in 2008.” Sources said that when foreign secretary S Jaishankar travels to Islamabad early March as part of his South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) yatra, he was likely to take forward discussions on concerns flagged by Doval and Basit. However, an official said "Hafiz Saeed was set free through the courts and the same may happen with Lakhvi, and the prosecution is trying its best but it is for the courts to take a final call based on evidence.'' Report concluded that bail for Lakhvi will complicate the dialogue process which looks set to resume after six months.

According to reports, states like Bihar, Rajasthan and software developer Wipro are posing hurdles to Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) from being rolled out any time soon, reports The Times of India on February 20. Mooted by the last United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government and supported by the new Narendra Modi Government, the system aims to connect all police stations in the country for real-time exchange of information on criminals and terrorists. Sources said that, while as many as seven states are lagging behind in digitizing and connecting database at their end, Bihar and Rajasthan have not even been able to kick off the system. To make things worse, Wipro, which is the core software developer for the programme, has allegedly delivered a system that neither enables real-time exchange of information nor supports search and query options. Government sources said that without these features, the system would be of no use. A Home Ministry official said "A lot of work has happened but Bihar and Rajasthan are way behind because their contractors have pulled out. Seven other states have been slow but we are hoping they will catch up soon. Wipro has delivered a system that does not support real-time exchange of information. They say they can provide such system only at a higher cost which we are not ready to accept. Negotiations are going on." The project was mooted by former Union Home Minister P Chidambaram in the wake of 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Under the project, approximately 14,000 Police stations throughout the country are planned to be connected apart from higher offices in Police hierarchy. The INR 20 billion project, approved in 2009, spans across all the states and Union Territories. As per the plan, it would connect a total of more than 21,000 locations. The goal of the system is to facilitate collection, storage, retrieval, analysis, transfer and sharing of data and information at the police station and between the Police station and the state headquarters and the central police organizations.

According to National Investigating Agency (NIA), Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists had chosen Dilsukhnagar (Hyderabad) to carry out the twin bomb blasts on February 21, 2013 because they concluded that the area consisted of a large Hindu population and that most of its residents including students were converging at public places in the evenings, reports The Times of India on February 21. This was the conclusion of NIA officers after interrogating four of the six accused, who are in custody in the twin blasts case. While IM operative and accused number one Riyaz Bhatkal is said to be holed up in Karachi in Pakistan, Asadullah Akhtar, Waqas, Tehseen Akhtar and Yasin Bhatkal are in judicial custody in Cherlapalli jail in Hyderabad. Aijaz Sheikh, a Pune resident, was named as the sixth accused in the case by the NIA few weeks ago and is still lodged in Delhi's Tihar jail after being arrested by Delhi Police in another case. Till date, NIA has filed two chargesheets in the twin blasts case. According to the NIA's findings, Tehseen Akhtar, Waqas and Asadullah Akhtar, on the instructions of Riyaz Bhatkal, surveyed five locations - Malakpet, Abids, Dilsukhnagar, Begum Bazar and Koti - to detonate the bomb blasts and finally zeroed in on Dilsukhnagar. "Within two days of their recce, they decided to plant the bombs (which in IM nomenclature is called Daawati work) in Dilsukhnagar in the evening around 7 pm on February 21, 2013. They decided on Dilsukhnagar as it comprised a large Hindu population, and decided to trigger the blasts at 7 pm on February 21, 2013, as they felt that the public places there were being frequented by a large number of people including students for various activities," the NIA sleuths deciphered. Sources also said, for some time prior to the blast, there was a difference of opinion between Riyaz and Yasin on the material to be used for the blast. Yasin, an expert bomb maker, was insisting on using picric acid for the blast while Riyaz was keen on ammonium nitrate. Finally, it was the latter substance that was used to trigger the Dilsukhnagar blasts that were planted by Tehseen Akhtar, Waqas and Asadullah Akhtar.

Taking a step forward to ban live coverage of terror-related operations by TV channels, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has said that 'anti-terror operations' should be prohibited from telecasting, reports The Times of India on February 22. UMHA stated its position on the matter after the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting sought definition of terms 'anti-terror operations' and 'counter-terror actions'. The UMHA has conveyed that live coverage of anti-terror operations would compromise various aspects of security and jeopardies the life of security personnel and innocent people in a hostage situation. The counter terrorism initiatives include construction of roads, bridges, schools, health centres, improvement of telecommunication network in Maoist-hit areas besides others. Earlier, the UMHA had asked the information and broadcasting ministry to amend the rules to stop live telecast of anti-terror operations. In its letter, the UMHA had said such live coverage not only affects the secrecy and effectiveness of the operation but also puts the safety of Security Forces (SFs), common people and journalists in jeopardy. The Home Ministry has sought more changes to the 15-point Programme Code prescribed under the cable television network rules, 1994 for this purpose.

Indian agencies have scripted a major success in securing the release of the abducted Christian priest, Father Alexis Premkumar Antonysamy from the captivity of the Taliban in Helmand, Afghanistan and the priest has now safely landed in India on February 22, reports The Hindu. Sources said officials had been monitoring the case, coordinating with Afghanistan officials and the Governor’s office in Herat. Shortly after the priest’s abduction (June 2, 2014) from a refugee centre in Zenda Jan, Governor Sayed Fazulllah Wahidi had said he had established his whereabouts. Four days after the abduction, Afghan authorities had announced that three Taliban members had been arrested in connection with the case. Top official sources said that the rescue was the result of a major operation by Indian intelligence and security agencies posted in that region. “It will also give a message to those concerned that India can’t any longer be taken as a soft state and was now doing everything possible to ensure safety of its citizens”, an official said. Afghan officials said that they felt the abduction was a misunderstanding by the Taliban group holding him, as Fr. Alexis was not involved in conversions, but working to rehabilitate Afghan refugees who had returned from Iran and Pakistan. Fr. Alexis had been working as the director of the Afghanistan wing of the Jesuit Refugee Service.

The Delhi High Court has sought the response of the Narendra Modi Government over a security breach in the printing of currency at a mint in Hoshangabad District in Madhya Pradesh, reports India Today on February 23. Acting on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed earlier this month, the court has asked how lapses led to the printing of bank notes with threads having Arabic inscriptions on them in 2012. The security thread is one of the key distinguishing features in a bank note to prevent counterfeiting. The PIL says the Security Printing and Minting Corporation of India at Hoshangabad practically printed fake notes. An internal inquiry conducted by a former Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) director had also indicted top officials at the government-run mint for the lapse. "Such a grave incident having implications of national security should've been brought on record," the internal inquiry noted, blaming director MS Rana and other senior officials. Rana has also been accused of suppressing the incident which was first reported by a local newspaper in Madhya Pradesh. The then United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government had ordered an inquiry in August 2014, 14 months after the breach was first reported. The Delhi High Court will next hear the case in March, 2015 when the government is expected to file its response.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has decided to take a fresh look into the case against Balwant Singh Rajaona, a Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist who was sentenced to death after his conviction in the case pertaining to the assassination of former Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Beant Singh, reports The Indian Express on February 23. The development follows the arrest of another BKI operative Jagtar Singh Tara, who was recently extradited from Thailand. Rajaona himself has refused to petition either the State Government or the Supreme Court for a stay on his death sentence. He is currently lodged in a Punjab jail. Sources said Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh has asked ministry officials to examine Rajaona’s case afresh in the light of new facts that could emerge after Tara’s interrogation. “Since Rajaona has refused to petition any authority for clemency, Home Ministry has decided to look into his case afresh. Since Tara has been extradited from Thailand and is presently in the custody of Punjab Police, new facts could emerge in the case. Even if there is a fraction of a chance that Rajaona was involved in the assassination case, the entire case has to be relooked into,” said a senior Home Ministry official. Tara, a co-accused in the case, was facing trial for allegedly assassinating Beant Singh when he escaped along with three others through a tunnel dug inside the jail, where they were lodged in 2004. Two of the three others have been arrested, while the third is still at large.

According to reports there appears to be contradictory views about the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) setting up the Burdwan (West Bengal) module, as the National Investigating Agency (NIA) in its chargesheet is likely to suggest that the operation was aimed at carrying out terror strikes in India, while Bangladesh continues to maintain that the intention of the JMB was to hit at the Sheikh Hasina regime, reports One India on February 24. The NIA says that on interrogation of the all the accused persons it has learnt that they had been setting up modules to carry out strikes in West Bengal, Assam among other states in India. Bangladesh on the other hand says that the JMB has only one intention and that is to shake up Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina and her government. They found it hard to set up modules in Bangladesh and hence chose West Bengal where they were readying a module to strike at the Awami League (AL) led by Sheikh Hasina. The NIA says that in its chargesheet to be filed next month it would state that these people part of the Burdwan module were planning on setting up several terror cells in India. The intention was to provide aid to other terror groups and also carry out a series of attacks in India, including a major one in Kolkata. The NIA says that the JMB is in a running battle against the Sheikh Hasina government, but that does not mean they would set up modules in India for that purpose. We have investigated that angle too and have found that the intention was only to destablise India. Further the NIA points out that part of the chargesheet would also deal with how the JMB with the help of local modules raised the Burdwan module and also gathered funds locally. The NIA also states that the investigation is an ongoing one and they could file additional chargesheets in the future. We have modules in Assam and Jharkhand also to be investigated and these things take time, the NIA official also maintained. However Bangladesh is firm and says that the operatives that they have questioned in connection with the same case say that the intention was to carry out strikes in Bangladesh. Bangladesh investigators point out that the JMB was using India to build up their module. They even procured funds within India to fund the module. They wanted to prepare bombs in India and transport it to Bangladesh, investigations over there have also found. Meanwhile, Bangladesh would request India to extradite all the accused India has arrested in connection with the Burdwan blasts case, adds One India. Bangladesh contends that the entire module was being set up to commit an offence in Bangladesh and hence all of them be extradited.

Afghanistan Ambassador Shaida Mohammad Abdali said that Afghanistan will never allow its territory to be used for any anti-India activity and dismissed apprehensions that withdrawal of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces may allow the Taliban to make a comeback, reports The Times of India on February 25. Abdali said "We can assure that we would never allow Afghanistan to go back to the dark era of Taliban or use of its territory for any kind of anti-India activity. India is a dear friend of Afghanistan. We have paid a heavy price to make sure that Afghanistan is not a home to terrorists and anti-India elements". Abdali said that the perception that exists that the withdrawal of NATO forces will lead to trouble in Afghanistan doesn't reflect the ground realities. "The perception that exists doesn't reflect the ground realities. The perception is totally baseless. The troop’s withdrawal from Afghanistan has been planned and it is based on Afghanistan's capacity. We have signed strategic agreements with United States (US) and many other countries including India. Those partnerships are aimed at commitment to Afghanistan for at least next 10 years. Afghanistan is in safe hands, we have our own national army, police," Abdali said. Abdali's statement comes in the backdrop of apprehensions in India that there could be security implications of the withdrawal of NATO forces from Afghanistan for South Asia and other countries. Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh had recently said that the withdrawal of NATO forces will not only have an impact on the region but also on the US and other countries.

A special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities [Prevention] Act (TADA) court in Mumbai on February 25 sentenced gangster Abu Salem to life imprisonment for the murder of builder Pradip Jain in 1995, reports The Times of India. His former driver Mehendi Hasan was also sentenced to life imprisonment. The sentencing comes after both the prosecution and defence presented extensive arguments over the last week. Salem is likely to move the apex court as appeals against convictions under TADA cannot be filed in the High court. Special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had earlier said, "This judgment will give a strong jolt to the Dawood Ibrahim gang because it has now been judicially proved that Abu Salem, along with Anees Ibrahim (Kaskar), had hatched a criminal conspiracy to commit terrorist acts in India."

An Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) team has found that terrorists accused of the Bijnor bomb blast on September 12, 2014 purchased 3 SIM cards from mobile dealers in Badaun in Budaun District of Uttar Pradesh before and after the blast, sources in Badaun Police said, reports The Times of India on February 26. Saumitra Yadav, Superintendant of Police (SP), Badaun said investigations had revealed that five accused, earlier identified as Amjad, Aslam, Ejazuddin, Mehboob, Aslam and Zakir Hussain, were regular visitors to the district and may have taken shelter with sympathizers in the district after the blast, which took place in a house being used as a bomb-making unit in Bijnor's Jatan locality. However, it is yet to be established if the accused actually stayed in Baduan or not, Yadav added. The information came to light after ATS sleuths, who have been camping in Badaun for the last three days, combed villages in Bisauli tehsil, including Dabtori, Sangrampur, Papgaon and Laxmipur villages to gather clues about the accused. Sources in Badaun Police said investigators were probing if the accused had any associates camping in Baduan on the day of the blast. The ATS team was probing if an accused, believed to be injured in the blast, was also in Badaun after the blast.

Delhi Police claimed to have busted a racket which was allegedly pumping Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) with the arrest of two men from Old Delhi Railway Station in Delhi and recovery of FICN of the face value of INR 2 million from them on February 25, reports DNA. The Police identified the arrested operatives as Raj Kumar and Omprakash withholding their real identities. According to police, the FICN operatives belong to a well entrenched network which is involved in receiving huge quantities of FICN from across the Indo-Bangladesh border and in its onward distribution amongst various clients spread across north Indian states including Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh. The arrested persons were supposed to deliver FICN of the face value of INR 2 million in lieu of INR 7 to 8 lakh. Both the arrested accused, along with several other similar modules, have been working for a long time and have successfully transported a huge amount of FICN for use in the markets of Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh Police said that in its continuing pursuit to contain the menace of high quality FICN being pumped into Indian markets to corrode the Indian economy by agencies of a hostile neighbor, a team of Special Cell has been monitoring various FICN couriers/smugglers operating across the Indo-Bangladesh borders, especially from the notorious Village of Kaliachak in Malda District of West Bengal. These operatives receive directions about the prospective Indian clients of this Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) mandated print of FICN from their handlers based out of Bangladesh. The major Indian market operators of the territories mentioned above keep on requisitioning FICN as per the demands being generated by various local big as well as small business houses.

Failing to get Union Territory (UT) administrator’s nod for suspension of notification prohibiting Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terrorist Jagtar Singh Tara’s (the alleged assassin of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh) movement from Burail jail in Chandigarh, the jail authorities failed to produce him before court on the second consecutive day and have now sought time till February 27, reports Hindustan Times on February 26. UT Police had put in place elaborate security arrangements in view of producing Tara before the court of Additional District and sessions judge Shalini S Nagpal, but they failed to produce him as the state failed to obtain suspension of the notification under section 268 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) prohibiting transportation of Tara from Burail jail. Jail authorities stated before the court that Tara’s movement from Burail jail was prohibited as Section 268 of the CrPC (person shall not be removed from prison till the completion of the trial) imposed on the assassination accused, was still valid. Stating that the notification could only be suspended by the UT administrator, who was currently out of the city, the jail authorities sought time till February 27.

Infamous gangster Abu Salem, who has been accused of murdering Mumbai realtor Pradeep Jain, is expected to be sentenced by a court in Mumbai on February 25 (today), reports Zee News. Salem, who was extradited by Portugal after ten years, is a former associate of wanted terrorist and mafia don Dawood Ibrahim and is lodged in Taloja Central Jail in adjoining Raigad District of Maharashtra at present. In the Jain murder trial, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam had initially demanded the death penalty, which he later converted to a life sentence owing to conditions of the extradition treaty between India and Portugal. Salem`s lawyer Sudeep Pasgola argued that he could not be given the death sentence as it would violate the treaty between the two countries. The special Terrorist and Disruptive Activities [Prevention] Act (TADA) court on February 16 had found Salem and two others - Mehndi Hasan and Virendra Jhamb - guilty of the murder of Jain, who was shot dead outside his Juhu residence on March 7, 1995 following a property dispute. Salem, Hasan and Jhamb were charged and convicted for offences like murder and criminal conspiracy. The case is one of the most important for the Indian legal and law enforcing authorities as it involves a wanted absconding accused extradited to face the law.

The Central Government has notified Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) as a banned terrorist organisation under the Unlawful Activities [Prevention] Act (UAPA) of 1967, stating that it is involved in radicalization and recruitment of vulnerable youth from various countries including India, reports The Times of India on February 26. “The Centre is satisfied that the Islamic State (IS)/Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL)/Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)/Daish is a terrorist organisation and has decided to add the said organisation and all its manifestations to the First Schedule to the UAPA,” the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) said in a notification. The decision comes in the wake of at least four Muslim youth from Mumbai joining the ISIS and moving to Iraq or Syria last year (2014) to fight its "global war". While one of the ISIS recruits from Kalyan, Mumbai has returned and is currently in custody in a case registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), intelligence agencies say that another youth has been killed in Iraq. The two remaining youth are still in the ISIS territory. Though ISIS, for all practical reasons, was banned even earlier under the UAPA by virtue of Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, featuring in the list of terror outfits proscribed by the United Nation (covered under Entry no 33 in the UAPA list), the Government felt that there was need to specifically ban the ISIS and all its manifestations. As per the notification issued by the UMHA on February 16, ISIS, a terrorist outfit operating in Iraq and neighbouring countries, has been resorting to terrorist actions to consolidate its position in that area by recruiting youth for 'Global Jihad' to achieve the objective of establishing its own 'Caliphate' by overthrowing democratically elected governments, besides resorting to terrorism in the form of killing innocent civilians and Security Forces (SFs).

The United States (US) cannot reassure Pakistan against any Indian threat if it fails to commit itself towards working against anti-India terrorist groups operating within its territory, two US experts on South Asian issues have told American lawmakers, reports The Economic Times on February 27. George Perkovich, vice president for Studies Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said during a Congressional hearing on February 25, "If Pakistan can't commit itself to working against the terrorists that have operated in India, then there's not much we can do to reassure them, there's probably not much we should do to reassure them, because that really is a problem." Responding to questions from lawmakers, Perkovich said the good news is India has no desires for any Pakistani territory or anything in Pakistan. "So 'threat' from India is only in response to Pakistani aggression in India or terrorism in India," he said. Testifying before the same committee, Ashley Tellis from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said while there was much enthusiasm in the Pakistan Army to take action against those terrorist groups that they perceive is a threat to Pakistan, the same can't be said about anti-India terrorist groups. He said the question was whether Pakistanis will not extend this effort to groups that do not directly threaten Pakistan, but threaten others like Afghanistan, US forces in Afghanistan and India. "I think we would declare victory only when Pakistanis begin to think of terrorism in a sort of broader context, and begin to focus their attention on all terrorist groups, and not pick and choose between groups that support their interests," Tellis said.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar said on February 27 that around 233 foreign boats and 1,686 foreign crews were apprehended by the Indian Coast Guard between 2011 and 2015, reports Sahil Online. "Instances of illegal fishing in Indian waters by foreign fishermen come to the notice of government from time to time. A total of 233 foreign boats and 1686 foreign crew were apprehended by the Indian Coast Guard during the period 2011-15," Parrikar said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha (lower house of Indian Parliament). This comes months after a suspected terror boat was apprehended by the Indian Coast Guard. The boat was set afire by its occupants according to the Coast Guard, which resulted in a blast. Parrikar said vessels and aircraft of the Indian Coast Guard and the Indian Navy are deployed on a 24x7 basis for surveillance in the maritime zones of India "to protect national interests including for preventing infiltration and poaching by foreign fishing boats". He added that static radars have been installed along the Indian coastline for electronic surveillance of vessel traffic. The Coast Guard has also been conducting regular exercises bi-annually on coastal security in coordination with other central and state government agencies like the Marine Police, customs, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Fisheries Department, Port authorities, State Police and Indian Navy. To ensure coordination, regular meetings of the National Committee on Strengthening Maritime and Coastal Security (NCSMCS) are held in which all stakeholders participate," he added.

On February 28, Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Executive Director G. Padmanabhan called for a cyber law that will protect citizens against frauds and cyber crime as India’s financial sector moves to electronic banking in a big way, reports The Hindu. Padmanabhan said a strong law would go a long way in building customer confidence to use technology in financial transactions. He said cyber threat was real and was constantly evolving. No organisation was immune to it, and hence preventive measures were a must. Where prevention failed, it should be made up with quick detection and decisive response. “The real challenge for the Indian financial system is awareness. There are two kinds of awareness. One is the awareness among customers about the dos and don’ts in digital transactions.

There should be internal awareness too — among employees of the bank of security,” he said.
