Concerned over the apparent appeal of Islamic State (IS) among a section of Indian society, the Centre along with states and Union Territories (UT) worked out a cohesive strategy to counter attempts at radicalisation and recruitment, The Times of India reports on August 2. Counselling of "vulnerable and radicalized" youths as well as their families and propagating "moderate" interpretations of Islam to counter the IS ideology of violent extremism will be key contours of this national blueprint. The counter-measures were on August 1 discussed by Union Home Secretary L C Goyal with the Chief Secretaries and Director General of Police (DGP) of 12 states and UTs, including Jammu and Kashmir, Maharashtra, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Bihar, Delhi, Assam and Kerala, that have reported instances of radicalization and recruitment by IS. The immediacy with which the threat needs to be addressed was underlined in presentations by three central agencies —(Research and Analysis Wing) RAW; National Technical Research Organization (NTRO); National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Telangana. RAW conceded that even though southeast Asia is not an area of priority for IS now, one needs to closely watch the outfit in the long term. It said though the IS footprint in India is limited as compared to many western nations, a counter-plan must be readied right away to avert the potential threat. A presentation by Telangana on counter-radicalisation measures listed counselling of "vulnerable" youths and involving their parents, peers and community elders in such efforts; increasing the level of interaction with 'moderate' groups, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and civil society to track and tackle radicalization; and countering extremist ideology of IS by propagating "moderate" interpretations of Islam. A key point was the need for a "tactful" approach to youths reached by ISIS, involving counseling and efforts to bring them back into the mainstream. With the social media emerging as a preferred medium of radicalisation and recruitment among young, net-savvy Muslims, NTRO discussed monitoring of suspected terror sites and social media handles. The suggested counter-strategies included disabling of harmful content and running a counter-propaganda. The NTRO presentation also touched upon how to retrieve evidence from cyberspace. Calling for uniform standards of investigation in terror cases, the NIA stressed on guarding against implication of innocent people and ensuring that scientific evidence is key to all terror investigations.

Around 100 kilogram of explosive material was seized from a vehicle near India-Bangladesh border in Murshidabad District's Suti area and the two carriers, identified as Akhtar Sheikh and Rafiqul Islam were arrested on August 8, reports The Times of India. The seizure comes at a time when intelligence agencies have warned of a possible terror attack on or before August 15. Police have sent the explosive, a white crystalline powder for tests. Sources say the explosives were in sacks of rice, each sack was meant to hold 50 kilogram of rice but could take only 20 kilogram of the explosives. While Akhtar claims he is from Aurangabad in Murshidabad, Rafiqul says he belongs to Suti. Police believe the explosives had originated in Suti, which is a hub of country bomb units and illegal cracker factories.

On August 14, one person, Pankaj Gadhai (resident of Odisha) was arrested by Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) of Crime Investigation Department (CID) from Jorabagan in Kolkata, and with his revelation, on August 15 afternoon, CID recovered 600 kilogram of ammonium nitrate along with another 500 kilogram of Sulphur and 20 kilogram of aluminum nitrate from 54 Strand Road in Kolkata, reports The Times of India. The fact that this huge stack was locked inside a go-down even as the city went in to a high-alert for Independence Day has not gone well in the security establishment. "By the looks of it, the entire modus operandi is tried and tested and up and running for several months. We are investigating this aspect closely," said a source. The go-down belongs to one Susanta Pakhira, who too is a resident of Odisha. According to CID sleuths, the recovery has direct connection with the Raghunathganj explosives haul that took place on August 8. The CID has so far claimed that the explosives used to arrive at the Kolkata go-down from designated areas of Odisha. Sometimes, they added, the raw material consignments arrived from Bihar. The explosives were then sent to several areas in Murshidabad District like Domkal and Suti from where the bombs would be made. These consignments sometimes were sent either through trucks or even the local train network. Once the bombs were manufactured, they were pushed back in to Kolkata and the Barrackpore Industrial belt. Sleuths believe a portion of it was sneaked even in to neighbouring Bangladesh. Sources said the quality of the material, the route and the transport mechanism similarity with that of October 2, 2014, Bardhaman Khagragarh blast.

The Special Task Force (STF) of the Kolkata Police on August 14 arrested five Sri Lankan nationals, allegedly former Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) members, and two Indians from a hotel in Chadni Chowk in Kolkata (West Bengal, India), reports The Hindu. The seven were picked up from Hotel Chandni International, located in the central part of the city, by the STF late on August 14 night in a joint operation with personnel of the Bowbazar Police Station, a senior officer of the Kolkata Police’s STF section said. “They have failed to show proper papers about their identities and their travelling papers to India. They have entered the country on forged documents. We suspect that they probably have used waterways to enter Chennai,” the officer said. The two Indians, residents of Tamil Nadu, had helped the five Sri Lankans in travelling to Kolkata and probably with the false documents, he said. Colombo Page adds that according to the Police, two of them – Guna Sekharan and Bala Singham are senior leaders of the LTTE. Police are checking if they came for any operations or for any reconnaissance. The Police are interrogating them to find if they had links with Maoists, as there are reports that the Maoists are gradually regrouping in Bengal and have plans to start guerilla warfare in Jungalmahal area of Bengal. Moreover, the Police are also probing if LTTE was supplying arms to the Maoists.

The Border Security Force (BSF) on August 17 seized Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) of face value INR 200,000 close to the Indo-Bangladesh border at Bagdah in North 24-Parganas District, reports The Time of India.

At least six accounts in four nationalised banks, spread over districts of Bardhaman, Birbhum, Murshibad and Kolkata in West Bengal, were used by the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), to fund its module in the state, revealed an investigation by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), Economic Times reports on August 24. The accounts used by the jihadists were created in nationalised banks violating KYC (Know Your Customer) rules. The banks, where the accounts were opened, include State Bank of India, Corporation Bank, Bank of Baroda and Oriental Bank of Commerce. The accounts were closed, or became inactive, immediately after National Investigating Agency (NIA) arrested the handlers of JMB. The investigators have examined the bank officials and discrepancies were found in the KYC documents submitted by the JMB men. "We have also examined a local person who used to forge pan cards for these operators. Significantly, some of these operators are Bangladeshi nationals, but they could open their accounts in banks," said a person familiar with the matter.
