A high-ranking Indian delegation to the 91st Interpol General Assembly has urged other member countries to deny safe havens to crime, criminals, and the proceeds of crime, The Hindu reports on December 1. The delegation was led by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Director Praveen Sood and includes National Investigation Agency (NIA) Director-General Dinkar Gupta. Their plea comes against the backdrop of Indian efforts to ensure that alleged terrorists, including pro-Khalistan elements and other wanted persons, are extradited or deported from countries such as Canada, the United States of America (US), and the United Kingdom (UK). So far this year (2023), 24 criminals and fugitives wanted by Indian agencies have been returned from abroad through close coordination via Interpol channels, one of the highest such annual tallies. India has also geo-located over 184 criminals in various countries and initiated formal proceedings for their return.

A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Patna, on December 1, convicted three Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, identified as Udit Narayan Singh alias Tulsi alias Tufan, Akhilesh Singh alias Manoj Singh, and Arjun ji alias Mani Yadav, in a case related to the seizure of arms and ammunition in the Aurangabad area of Bihar more than a decade ago, reports latestly.com. The quantum of punishment against the trio will be pronounced by the court on December 4. A spokesperson for the NIA said the special court found them guilty of being in possession of prohibited and non-prohibited arms and ammunition, as well as chemicals for making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and bombs for their use in terror attacks by the banned CPI-Maoist in 2012. The Aurangabad Police had initially registered the case on March 26, 2012, a day after raids were conducted in the houses of the three based on information that some Maoist cadres had assembled in Aurangabad to execute terrorist activities.

Saying that maritime terrorism poses a serious threat to national security, Western Naval Command Chief Vice Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi on December 1, asserted that the Indian Navy is committed to deter any military adventurism from the sea. "Maritime terrorism, piracy, robbery, illegal and unregulated fishing in Indian waters, human, arms and drug trafficking is on the rise and needs fresh paradigm for maritime security. Maritime terrorism has expanded in recent years and is manifesting in new ways and means. Piracy and armed robbery at sea have also flared up in new regions.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) charged eight people on December 1 with supplying deadly explosives, drones, and other equipment to the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) for attacking Security Forces (SFs) in the Naxal [Left Wing Extremism, LWE]-infested areas of the country, reports the Deccan Herald. All eight accused are in custody following their arrest under sections 120(B), 143, 147, 148 R/w 149 IPC, section 8 (1) of the TSPS Act, section 5 of the ES Act, and sections 10, 13, 18, and 20 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) of 1967. While three of them, working as couriers for the CPI-Maoist outfit, were arrested while on their way to supply explosives, drones, and a lathe machine, the others were arrested subsequently. The NIA investigations have revealed that the explosive material recovered from the possession of the three arrested originally, namely Punem Nageswar Rao, Devanuri Mallikarjun Rao, and Vollepogula Umashankar, was supplied to them by accused Jannu Koti, Arepalli Srikanth, Tallapalli Arogyam, and Bontha Mahender. The latter four had procured the stuff from Sonaboina Kumaraswamy, who held a license for dealing in explosives. The cache that the three accused were carrying at the time of their arrest was intended for use in the manufacturing of country-made arms to be deployed against the SFs in the country’s Naxal-affected areas, as per the NIA investigations. The case was initially registered at Cherla Police Station in Bhadradri Kothagudem District of Telangana on June 5 and taken over by the NIA on August 3, the spokesperson said.

On December 2, acting ‘chairman’ of the Pambei faction of United National Liberation Front (UNLF), Moirangthem Nongyai stated that the peace agreement signed on November 29, does not compromise its demand for the 'sovereignty of Manipur' and the outfit made it clear that it will not lay down its weapons until a solution regarding its demand for a "sovereign Manipur" is achieved, reports deccanherald.com. Nongyai said, " The Government of India has accepted the fact that Manipur was once a sovereign state. Since the Indian government has accepted these points, the UNLF has decided to sign the ceasefire agreement. We are not surrendering our weapons. So, do not think that we have sold away Manipur. We are yet to join the mainstream and if talks fail, we might still return to the jungle again." The clarification from the Pambei faction came after the Koireng faction of UNLF, alleged that the Pambei faction deviated from the 'political principle' of the UNLF by signing the peace pact, describing as a "death trap" the recent peace agreement signed by the Pambei group with the government.

Following a two-month decline in terrorist activities, Pakistan experienced 34 pc increase in anti-state violence in November, Dawn reported on December 3 quoting Pakistan Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS) data. The data reveals a total of 63 terrorist attacks during the month, resulting in 83 fatalities, including that of 37 Security Force (SF) personnel and 33 civilians. Additionally, 89 individuals sustained injuries, comprising 53 civilians and 36 SF personnel. SF eliminated at least 59 terrorists, while 18 suspected terrorists were apprehended. A comparative analysis with October data underscores a 34pc surge in militant attacks, a 63pc rise in fatalities, and an 89pc increase in the number of injured persons during November. According to the PICSS database, the cumulative toll for the first eleven months of 2023 reflects 599 terrorist attacks, resulting in 897 fatalities and 1,241 injuries. This signifies an 81pc escalation in terrorist attacks, an 86pc surge in resultant deaths, and a 64pc rise in the number of injured compared to the corresponding period in 2022. Once again, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) emerged as the most affected province, with documenting 51 attacks, causing 54 fatalities and 81 injuries. Within KP, 20 attacks occurred in the merged Districts (former FATA), resulting in 23 fatalities and 13 injuries, while mainland KP reported 31 attacks, leading to 31 fatalities and 68 injuries. This implies that 81pc of total attacks, 65pc of total deaths, and 91 percent of total injuries were reported in KP province. Balochistan recorded nine attacks, resulting in 18 fatalities, including that of 15 security forces personnel and three civilians, with eight injuries being reported, encompassing five civilians and three security forces personnel.

A faction of Muslim League Jammu Kashmir, led by separatist leader Masarat Alam Bhat, was on December 27 declared a banned organisation by the Government under the stringent anti-terror law, reports Daily Excelsior. The ban comes as a response to the outfit’s involvement in anti-national and secessionist activities in Jammu and Kashmir, with the intent to create a reign of terror in the country, the Union Home Ministry said. The ban will remain in effect for a period of five years from the date of its publication in the official gazette, unless otherwise ordered. Bhat has been in jail since 2010 for his alleged involvement in violent protests in the Kashmir valley. His release in 2015 became the first impediment in People's Democratic Party (PDP)- Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alliance when the then chief minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed got him released immediately after taking oath. Under pressure from its ally BJP, the then State Government had to re-arrest him on charges of sedition and waging war against the State after allegedly raising pro-Pakistan slogans at a rally. Bhat was accused of playing a key role in organising violent protests in Kashmir in 2010, which resulted in the deaths of over 100 youths.

Strongly refuting the Afghanistan Foreign Minister's claims that Pakistan withdrew from a deal with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) at the last minute, a high-ranking Pakistani official, under the condition of anonymity, disclosed that the terrorist outfit sought to assert control over parts of the erstwhile Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), The Express Tribune reported on December 28. During an informal exchange between Afghanistan Interim Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi and Pakistan Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayyed at the Palestine Conference in Tehran on December 23, Muttaqi alleged that most of the issues between Pakistan and the TTP were resolved in 2022. He contended that the only remaining point of contention was regarding the merger of the former FATA. According to Muttaqi, Pakistan withdrew when both sides were on the verge of finalizing an agreement. However, an official familiar with the matter dismissed Muttaqi’s statement as absurd, stating that the Afghan diplomat’s narrative lacked veracity. Speaking to The Express Tribune on December 27, the official, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the subject’s sensitivity, explained that the talks collapsed due to unreasonable and unconstitutional demands by the TTP. The official elucidated that under the guise of negotiations, the terrorist group aimed to establish its own ‘empire’ within the former tribal areas, with tacit support from the Afghan Taliban. “Should we yield our territory to these terrorists? Absolutely not,” the official asserted, placing blame on the Afghan Taliban Government for the current impasse in bilateral relations.

The Foreign Office on December 29 officially declined India’s demand for the extradition of Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) ‘chief’ Hafiz Saeed after New Delhi announced it had formally requested Islamabad to extradite him in a money laundering case, reports Dawn. Responding to media inquiries about India’s extradition request, Foreign Office spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch pointed out that “no bilateral extradition treaty exists between Pakistan and India”. Saeed is currently serving a jail sentence after being convicted of terror financing in multiple cases. He has received various prison sentences, ranging from over 15 to 31 years. Although India accuses him of being behind the 2008 Mumbai attacks, Saeed has denied any involvement. Saeed was arrested in 2019 when Pakistan was struggling to get out of the Financial Action Task Force’s grey list comprising countries with strategic deficiencies in their anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorism financing (CFT), and proliferation financing regimes. In 2012, the United States announced a USD 10 million bounty on Saeed. Both the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and JuD are banned entities in the US and under UN sanctions.

A total of 76 terrorists including 55 foreigners were neutralised, 291 terrorist associates arrested and 201 over ground workers booked under the Public Safety Act in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) this year, Director General of Police (DGP) R R Swain said on December 30, reports Daily Excelsior. DGP Swain further said that only 31 local terrorists, an all-time low, are left in the Union Territory, while the recruitment of locals into militancy has witnessed a drop of 80 per cent this year. “In 48 anti-terrorist operations, we have neutralised 76 terrorists, including 55 foreigners. The trend of foreign terrorists getting killed more starting in 2022 and continued this year, making it clear that our actual fight is against infiltrators,” he said, asserting that the anti-terrorism operations will continue next year with more vigour. He said there are 31 identified local terrorists –– four in Jammu region’s Kishtwar and 27 in the valley — who are active and the number is at an all-time low. “There is an 80 per cent decline in terror recruitment this year. Year-on-year comparison shows that 130 locals joined terrorism in 2022 and this year, till date the number is 22. We will try to stop the recruitment completely which is essential to end the cycle of violence. “When there is recruitment, action happens and the fallout follows, continuing the cycle. I am seeing the decline in recruitment as saving 113 people from getting killed this year,” he said. The DGP said that against 31 civilian killings by terrorists last year, the number dropped to 14 this year and the terror-related incidents declined from 125 in 2022 to 46 in 2023, recording a drop of 63 per cent. “Four policemen including a DSP and an inspector were martyred this year, against 14 last year, thus recording a 71 per cent decline,” he added. 291 terror associates, who provide logistic support, work as guides and identify targets, were arrested this year compared to 373 last year, DGP Swain added further. “We have strengthened the record building and surveillance system by utilising technology and a repeat offender can now be easily identified and ensured a maximum sentence,” he added. The DGP said 201 over ground workers (OGWs) – 171 in Kashmir and the rest in Jammu zone – were detained under the PSA, while 89 terror modules, including 78 in Kashmir and 11 in Jammu, were busted this year. Swain said 18 terrorist hideouts were unearthed with 12 in the valley and six in Jammu region. He said 99 properties, linked to terrorism and separatism, worth more than Rs 170 crore, were attached including 57 by the State Investigation Agency.

Punjab Police on December 31 claimed to have busted a cross-border drug and arms smuggling racket being operated by United States (US)-based smuggler Mannu Mahawa with the arrest of two persons from Amritsar in Punjab, reports India TV News. Director General of Police (DGP), Punjab, Gaurav Yadav said the two arrested were identified as Sandeep Singh and Roshan. Police teams seized 19 kilograms of Heroin, INR 2.3 million drug money, seven pistols, including a sophisticated 9mm Glock, Pakistan-stamped ammunition, currency counting machine and drone equipment, including a remote controller and spare fans. Yadav said that preliminary investigations have revealed that the accused were directly in touch with Mannu Mahawa and were supplying Heroin across the state after smuggling those from Pakistan. Tribune India quoted an unnamed police official as saying, “The police have found parts of a drone during the seizure. But such a huge quantity cannot be smuggled through drones. Apparently, the narcotics and the weapons were smuggled by inserting PVC pipe through the electrified barbed fence at the International Border taking advantage of dense fog in the region.”
