The Maharashtra anti-terrorism squad (ATS), during its ongoing probe, has found that Shafi Armar alias Yusuf, who defected from Indian Mujahideen (IM) to join Islamic State (IS) has been pivotal in indoctrinating youths in India, had made detailed plans through Mudabbir Sheikh, 'chief' of the IS' Indian wing, his deputy Khalid Ahmed Ali Nawazuddin alias Rizwan and men under their command, India Today reports on February 2. According to the Maharashtra ATS, Khalid was asked to hunt for safe houses in the state and he even got in touch with a realty broker in Goa and hired a house for INR 10,000 at Madgaon. Mumbai, Pune and Goa were the primary targets for the attack on crucial Army, Navy and Air Force installations, sources said. According to sources, IS also had plans to target foreigners in Goa and Maharashtra.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) are probing the overall role of alleged Afghanistan module of Islamic State (IS) to see if there is any link to their ongoing investigation against radicalisation by IS and whether this module is linked to the four youths from Kalyan who had fled to join IS in May 2014 and to last year’s incident where a person was arrested for trying to recruit men in Pusad town of Yavatmal District, and send them to Afghanistan for arms training, Asian Age reports on February 2.“The fact that Afghanistan is known for being infested by terrorists is known to all. But the NIA and us are investigating to see if there is an overall link to ISIS related incidents. As of now we are unable to establish a link,” said an ATS source. It is also learnt that the NIA and ATS are probing the role of Shafi Armar, who was formerly a member of the Indian Mujahideen (IM). Armar is said to be one of the foreign handlers of Mudabbir Shaikh, the 'chief recruiter' for IS in India caught from Mumbra. Armar was operating from Afghanistan in the past.

Karnataka’s coastal town of Bhatkal, once known as recruiting ground for Indian Mujahideen (IM), is now being seen in the security establishment to be emerging as a possible incubator of the Islamic State’s (IS) Indian terror module after a string of arrests from the town and nearby areas in Karnataka india.com reports on February 3. Shafi Armar, who, intelligence agencies say is the main recruiter of Indian men lured to the IS ideology, also belongs to Bhatkal where he was born and lived with his two brothers, before leaving India in 2009. “All the arrested suspected terrorists having links with Bhatkal are being quizzed to ascertain their role in the module. Interrogators are also trying to find out the exact number of people recruited from the town,” the sources said. The sources privy to the investigation, however, said that the arrested IS suspects were not only asked to target Bhatkal to recruit members but to seek sympathisers across India for which they had organised several meetings in Lucknow, Mumbai, Mangalore, Tumkur (in Karnataka), Haridwar and Hyderabad. Another official, said that the main India-module recruiter of IS has been targeting his former IM aides who belong to Bhatkal and nearby towns in Karnataka.

On February 4, Mohsin Shaikh, was arrested along with INR 85,000 from ISBT Kashmere Gate in Delhi, reports Mumbai Mirror. He went missing on December 15, 2015 was tasked by his Islamic State (IS) handlers to steal army vehicles. The Delhi Police said that Shaikh, 28, who used to drive an autorickshaw in Mumbai, had been working for IS, and was trying to flee to Nepal. He was also working as a 'courier' for the terror outfit, carrying hawala (illegal money transaction) money from one sleeper cell to another in different parts of the country. He was remanded in the Delhi Police custody till February 10.Shaikh, along with two others from Malwani - Noor Mohammad and Wajid Shaikh, had gone missing on December 15, 2015. The three had decided to join IS after another Malwani man, 23-year-old Ayaz Sultan, went missing on October 30. The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) said that Sultan had escaped to Afghanistan, and on to Syria.Sources in the Maharashtra ATS and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said that Mohsin was primarily being handled by Uttar Pradesh resident Khalid Ahmed, the number two in IS's India module, and an Indian Mujahideen (IM) recruit who has now aligned himself with Daesh. "Khalid asked Mohsin to remain in touch with their handlers in Syria, and use his expertise to steal army vehicles. Mohsin was also in touch with the hawala operators, who used him to send money to Daesh recruits all over India," an NIA source said. "During interrogation, Mudabbir Shaikh also revealed that Mohsin was asked to steal army vehicles," the source added. The investigating agencies also believe that Mohsin was also in touch with Ayaz Sultan, who escaped to Syria from Afghanistan.Sources said that Shaikh was given INR 1,50,000 by a Daesh operative in Lucknow, out of which he gave Rs 50,000 to four people who were arrested by the Delhi Police in Haridwar last month. All of them were found to have links with a former Indian Mujahideen militant who later went to fight for Daesh, and were a part of the plot targeting the Ardh Kumbh Mela at Haridwar, especially the trains headed there, along with some strategic locations in Delhi. The suspects were identified as Akhlaq ur-Rehman, Mohammed Osama, Mohammed Azim Shah and Mehroz.

Muslim cleric Abdus Sami Qasmi, a Delhi resident arrested on February 5 from Hardoi in Uttar Pradesh (UP) was beneath watch for nearly an year, and is seen as an necessary hyperlink in Islamic State’s (IS) presence in India as he was allegedly instigating youth to plan jihadi assaults within the nation, Bharat Press reports on February 8. It might point out that IS propaganda has moved past on-line radicalisation, with clerics like Sami preaching the outfit’s violent strategies, making it harder for businesses to trace rising terror footprints on the bottom.Sami, in response to National Investigation Agency (NIA) sources, was motivating youth to organise beneath the IS banner. He travelled in UP, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Punjab, delivering ‘taqreer’ and ‘bayaan’ in help of violent extremism and recruiting youth for anti-national actions. In a few of his speeches, Sami made a direct reference to IS. He would increase, in the middle of his speeches, emotive national and worldwide points reminiscent of Muzaffarnagar riots, Muslims’ opposition to author Salman Rushdie’s Jaipur go to, the Prophet’s cartoons revealed by a Danish newspaper and French journal Charlie Hebdo, and killing of ‘harmless’ Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq, to incite members of the group to rise towards “anti-Islamic” forces. These speeches have been later uploaded on his web site.“He was in contact with suspicious parts in some Gulf nations, together with ex-Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorist and now IS recruiter Mohammad Shafi Armar, in addition to many members of the IS-impressed module just lately busted by us,” stated a senior NIA officer.

In a joint operation, the Odisha Police, Telangana Police, Central Intelligence Bureau and Tactical Wing of Odisha Special Operation Group arrested five suspected Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) cadres, including a woman member, from Quereshi Mohalla area in Rourkela in Sundergarh District on February 16-night, reports Deccan Chronicle. The arrested cadres were identified as Mehboob alias Guddu (27), Amzad Khan alias Dowd (27), Zakir Khan alias Sadik (32), Mahammed Salik alias Sallu (32) and Nazma, mother of Maheboob, all hailing from Khandawa District in Madhya Pradesh. According Odisha Intelligence Bureau (IB) Director General Arun Sarangi, the arrested cadres belonged to the banned SIMI. A huge cache of arms and ammunitions, including three pistols, seven guns and 11 rounds of live cartridges, were also recovered from the arrested persons. An intense exchange of fire between the Security Forces (SFs) and the accused went on for three hours before the cadres were captured, sources said. The Police have also taken into custody the landlady of the house where the accused were staying for four months.According to Arun Sarangi, the arrested SIMI rebels were involved in at least 17 explosions in Odisha, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. Besides, they were also carrying out anti-social activities in Bihar and Jharkhand. In 2013, all the terrorists had escaped from Khandwa Jail in Madhya Pradesh and were hiding in Rourkela since then. After the jailbreak, the terrorists killed two Police personnel during a bank loot incident in Telangana. They decamped with INR 48 lakh from the bank. The extremists also killed a Policeman in Madhya Pradesh. They were also involved in several train robbery cases and a bank loot incident in Sundargarh District of Odisha.

On February 26, a Delhi court discharged two suspected operatives of Indian Mujahideen (IM), Tahseen Akhtar and Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas (Pakistani national) in a case relating to the terror group’s conspiracy to carry out strikes in the national capital, due to lack of evidence, reports Hindustan Times. The court, however, framed charges against five accused under the provisions of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), the Explosive Substances Act and under section 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The five accused -- Syed Maqbool, Imran Khan, Asad Khan, Syed Feroz and Irfan Mustafa -- were put on trial after they pleaded not guilty to the charges framed against them and the court has now fixed the matter for recording of evidence on March 28, 2016.

Investigation into past activities of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) operatives revealed that the Khandwa module tried to mobilise support from terror outfits from outside India, New Indian Express reports on February 28. One member had visited Bangladesh while the group head had sent close to INR 3,00,000 to Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), an outfit based in Pakistan. Sources said, interrogation by Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and National Investigation Agency (NIA) have found that the SIMI opratives used certain members of the Singhi community from Raipur to send the money to TTP.Sheikh Aijzuddin, one of the operatives who died in an encounter with Telangana Police in April, 2015, had visited Bangladesh to seek assistance from groups operating from there.The Special Task Force (STF) has sought mobile call details of the SIMI operatives which are under verification. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra Police have submitted petitions before a court in Rourkela (Odisha) seeking custody of the five whose remand with STF ends on February 29, 2016.
