The security establishment in Bengal is suspects that Kamtapur Liberation Organization (KLO) ‘chairman’ Jibon Singh may have been killed in the Army operation in Myanmar on June 9, reports Times of India. There are reports that three of the bodies that were brought back from the Myanmar encounter site were taken to Jorhat Medical College (Assam) for autopsy. One of them could be Jibon's, say sources, adding that DNA tests may be done to ascertain identity. According to sources, a police team, led by Kumargram Police Station In-Charge S G Wangdi, met Jibon's sister Sumitra Barman at her house in Sankosh, Alipurduar District, on June 11. Sumitra, who had trained as a militant under Jibon, said: "I have been in touch with my brother on a regular basis. So far I have not received news of his death." Police did come to her house asking about Jibon, she said. "We have been trying to get any news about him all through the day. But we have heard nothing. We are trying to independently confirm the news," she added. KLO was founded in December 1995 as an expression of Koch-Rajbongshi ambition with an aim to carve out a Kamtapur state comprising six District of Bengal (Cooch Behar, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri, Malda and North and South Dinajpur), four District of Assam (Kokrajhar, Bongaigaon, Dhubri and Goalpara), Kishanganj (Bihar) and Jhapa (Nepal).

National Investigation Agency (NIA) that is probing Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) racket operating in India, found that approximately INR 15 billion of counterfeit notes pumped into the country have crossed the border through Malda border in West Bengal, The Times of India reports on June 30. The investigators have also found that most of the notes that have entered the country have been printed in Pakistan and was routed to India through Bangladesh. The National Investigating Agency say that 90 per cent of fake currency that is brought into the country have a link with the Malda unit which smuggles these notes. The investigators have found that there was dedicated lot of Pakistanis who set up shops in Bangladesh and these shops are breeding ground for trading these FICNs which are eventually routed to into India. Malda is an easy landing point as it borders with Bangladesh. This is a racket that has been going on for the past four to five years now ever since the border with Pakistan became extremely difficult for these criminals to operate on. "After the money comes to the hands of these module operatives, they pick up several youths to execute the job. They go to major cities like Mumbai or Bengaluru and start working as construction labour. Along with their work they start circulating the notes in installments. They stay on in these cities for a couple of months and manage to circulate at least INR 2,00,000 worth of fake currency each," an investigating officer said. The investigators have also found that the quality of the notes was of extremely superior and most of the security measures were preset in the notes naturally making it very difficult for the common people to understand that it is a fake currency. "Sometimes it is even difficult for the bank personnel to realise the difference without a forensic test. This is really alarming," an officer said. The investigators also noticed that the notes sourced by Pakistan to print its own currency was being used to print the Indian fake currency as well.
