Earlier, in September 2015, five of the Puzhal central prison authorities were attacked by a group of inmates, including the Al Ummah cadres. Following the incident, Bilal was then sent to Cuddalore prison (Cuddalore District) and Ismail to Madurai prison (Madurai District).

Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat said that the Indian army is set to deploy its first Integrated Battle Group (IBG) along the India- Pakistan border by the end of this year, reports Hindustan Times on September 2. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has cleared the reorganisation of IX Corps, based in Yol in Himachal Pradesh, to form the IBGs to be deployed along the western border. Raised in 2009, IX Corps is one of the army’s youngest corps and is part of the Chandimandir, based Western Army Command. “The IBGs, on an average, would comprise 20,000- 25,000 men, “said the officer. While each IBG will be a self-contained fighting unit, it can draw logistical support from other formations. The IBGs will be smaller and more flexible, allowing faster mobilisation. The Siliguri-based XXXIII Corps, tasked with protecting the Indo- Chinese (Tibetan) border including Sikkim, is next in line for being transformed into an IBS.

Indian representative, Rajya Sabha (Upper House of Indian Parliament) Deputy Chairman, Harivansh Narayan Singh said that Islamabad should end all state-supported terrorism.

We also reject to the politicisation of this forum by raising the issues which are extraneous to the theme of this summit,” Harivansh said.

Kerala coastline was put on alert after a country-wide alert that Pakistan-based terror groups may launch their “Samundari Jihad” cadres to infiltrate into Indian coastal areas, reports New Indian Express on September 2. Intelligence officers said special shadow surveillance has been initiated to keep track of fishing boats operating off the Kerala coast. Reports said the terror groups have been undergoing psychological as well as combat training on advanced weapons and explosives for carrying out attacks from the sea. An un-named senior Police officer said the Centre has apprised the states of the attempts being planned by the terror groups to carry out guerilla attacks on Indian soil after infiltrating through the sea. “There has been communication on terror groups training their cadre for carrying out strikes from the sea against India. We have done an assessment of the security along the state’s coast to put in place foolproof security arrangements,” stated the officer. Also, State Police Chief Loknath Behera stated, “Kochi is one of the prime destinations where we did the security audit. We have taken necessary precautions to counter any such attempts by the terrorists. All vital installations along the coastline have been put under surveillance”.

Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale, on September 2, said India has always supported a peace settlement in Afghanistan to ensure stability and not leave ungoverned spaces for terrorists, reports The Times of India. Gokhale, also said that both India and Russia believe that whatever the outcome of the discussions between the United States (US) and the Taliban is, they hope to see a stable political situation. On what sort of representatives India would send if invited for talks on Afghanistan, Gokhale said he does not want to speculate on it. Asked if India and Russia feel the US-Taliban talks were legitimate considering the government was not part of negotiations, Gokhale said: "We support all peace initiatives. We have been a part of all of them and in some cases when we were not part of them initially we have been supportive of them." "Our issue has been what is the post-settlement situation. In that regard, our situation has been clear, we support a system which has constitutional legitimacy, which has a political mandate, which will ensure stability and most importantly not leave ungoverned spaces for terrorists or their proxies to take advantage of," he said.

About 10,000 British Pakistanis descended on London on September 3, and proceeded to smash windows of the Indian High Commission and cause chaos on the streets of the British capital for the second time in weeks, reports The Times of India. Members of the Indian diaspora did not hold a counter-protest. The 'Kashmir Freedom March', organised by a plethora of British Kashmiri groups, went from Parliament Square past Downing Street to the High Commission building led by some UK Labour Member of parliaments (MP). “You can try and silence a Parliament but you cannot try and silence a people. We will continue to protest on the streets of our cities and at the UN until we have delivered justice for the people of Kashmir. This idea this is a bilateral negotiation is now dead. It is time for a multilateral solution now,” Birmingham Hodge Hill British Labour MP Liam Byrne, who led the march, said. London Mayor Sadiq Khan, condemned September 3, protests, saying it was "unacceptable". "I utterly condemn this unacceptable behaviour and have raised this incident with @metpoliceuk to take action," the Mayor tweeted. The protests were organised against the Indian government's move to revoke Article 370 that gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir. In another report of The Times of India, British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on September 4, stated, "Such violence should not be conducted anywhere else for that matter. Communities now need to reduce that tension but on a positive note, such as build-up confidence-building measures. This would not only allow reducing tension between communities in Kashmir and also between India and Pakistan." Meanwhile, the Indian Government has taken a grim view of repeated attacks on the Indian High Commission in London. Senior government sources said India was contemplating a set of responses against the UK in the coming weeks.

A Parliamentary delegation from India thwarted Pakistan's attempt to raise the Kashmir issue at a United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), South Asian Parliamentarian Conference on Children Rights in Colombo, Sri Lanka on September 3, reports The Times of India. India asserted that it was India's internal matter, slamming Pakistan’s record on rights issues of minorities. "We firmly reminded them that Jammu and Kashmir was an integral part of India and India is the largest democracy in the world and as stakeholders in the Indian democracy, an Indian voice will be heard, not that of a vested interest, not that of a foreign country, and not certainly that of Pakistan," Indian Member of Parliament (MP), Gaurav Gogoi, who is part of the delegation stated.

India was “deeply concerned” over the “unruly demonstration by Pakistan-incited elements and consequent organised vandalism” at the Indian High Commission in London on September 3, reports The Hindu. However, the protest was called “largely peaceful” by the United Kingdom (UK) Government. “This is the second time in a less than a month that such an incident has taken place affecting the security and the normal functioning of our Mission. We consider these incidents unacceptable and have strongly urged the Government of U.K. to take action against those involved, and take necessary steps to ensure the normal functioning of our Mission and the safety and security of our personnel,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson said. “The reality is that there have been widespread reports and concerns about detentions, mistreatments and the communications blackout. There was a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) discussion on Kashmir on 16 August.

Testimony in a United States (US) court has revived news about Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, news24.com reports on September 10. Ibrahim's name came up during testimony by Vicky Goswami, the mandrax smuggler who lived in South Africa in the early 1990s and turned State witness following his extradition to the US from Kenya in 2017. Ibrahim operated in this country at roughly the same time as Goswami. A former investigator who previously looked into both Ibrahim and Goswami said he suspected the duo worked together smuggling drugs into and through South Africa at some point.

Indian intelligence agencies have busted a "call centre" being run by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Jhelum city (Jhelum District of Punjab Province) in Pakistan, reports Times Now News on September 19. The call centre, aimed at targeting the Indian Army and government officials in honey-traps, was being operated with the help of Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL). The Centre was using Indian SIM cards, seized by Pakistan customs from Indian travellers, mostly women, visiting their relatives in Pakistan. Over 100 Indian SIM cards have been traced as the Delhi Police launched an investigation. Pakistani girls engaged by the call centre were especially trained in speaking fluent Hindi with a North Indian accent. With the help of ISI handlers, these girls primarily searched Indian security personnel on social media platforms and later approached them. After initial chats with the target group, the girls made video calls on Facebook and WhatsApp and recorded them. Earlier in 2019, Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) of Uttar Pradesh traced 125 fake IDs of women on Facebook, which were a plant of ISI to honey-trap Indian paramilitary and Army officials. The data of fake accounts was shared by Intelligence Bureau and military agency with ATS. The Indian agencies shared its data with other state police since BrahMos Aerospace engineer Nishant Agarwal and Border Security Force (BSF) jawan Achutyanand Mishra were honey-trapped by ISI in October last year.

Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) patronised jihadist outfits are plotting series of bomb attacks on temples within West Bengal and adjacent areas during the religious festival Durga Pura, reports weeklyblitz.net on September 19. The plot was revealed when an intelligence agency intercepted telephone conversation between one of the members of Islamic State (IS) in India and a Dubai-based Pakistani national named Akhlaq Qamar. Qamar is a suspect to be one of the prime handlers of Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN). Recently there have been regular communications between IS in India, Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) and Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), as per intelligence reports. Salauddin, who currently holds a key position in JMB is reportedly maintaining liaison with Pakistani ISI as well as jihadist outfits.

It is further learnt that Salauddin is constantly changing his location while he mostly stays in the northeastern states. For the past several years, a secret nexus is being built between the jihadists in India as well as separatist groups such as the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA). United Liberation Front of Asom-Independent (ULFA-I) 'chief' Paresh Baruah has been coordinating with HM, JMB and IS.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) recently registered a case to probe the activities of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) in the southern states after inputs that its members have indulged in robbery to collect funds, reports Hindustan Times on September 25. “JMB, following a major crackdown in Burdwan by us in 2014, in which over 50 of its members were caught in West Bengal and Assam, failed to carry out terror attacks in that region. Kausar, who was instrumental in formation of JMB training camps, procuring explosives in 2014 for making over 100 bombs and planning the Bodhgaya blast in January 2018, had moved to Bengaluru and he was reviving the outfit. But even after his arrest in August last year, it seems somebody is furthering the activities of JMB in South India,” said one unnamed NIA Official. The agency raided hideouts in Atibele, Kadugodi, K R Puram, Chikkbanavara and Shikaripalya, Electronic City in Bengaluru. “Jahidul Islam disclosed during questioning that after the 2014 Burdwan blast, he and his associates went to southern India to escape the agencies on their trail,” said a NIA spokesperson. At least 3-4 incidents of robberies in Bengaluru, linked to JMB operatives, are currently being examined by the central probe agency while the terror outfit’s leader in India – Jahidul Islam alias Kausar—is being interrogated.

A rally was organised on September 25 by Naga Students Federation (NSF) in Delhi, under the theme, “Implement the Principles of Framework Agreement, reports Morung Express. NSF stated that the decision for the rally was taken against the backdrop of reported Prime Minister’s advice to RN Ravi to find solution in three months, within the Constitution of India; which directly negates the principle of the Framework Agreement. The rally was addressed by various individuals including Naga Hoho (apex body of Naga tribe) General Secretary Elu Ndang and Dal Khalsa Spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh. East Mojo adds that over 1,000 people took part in the demonstration. NSF President Ninoto Awomi stated that “We want to make it very clear to the government that a forced solution won't be acceptable to Nagas. The government has recognised the unique history of the Nagas and, therefore, the solution must also be unique. Even in the past, there have been many agreements like the Nine-Point Agreement (Naga-Akbar Hyadri Accord), the Shillong Accord and the 16 Point Agreement. However, those weren’t able to bring lasting peace”.
