Chhattisgarh Police said on March 18 that Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) had hatched a plot to target Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his campaign trail in Chhattisgarh in last Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) elections, reports Asian Age. “SIMI’s key leader Umer Siddique along with his associate Hyder Ali had hatched the conspiracy at the coaching centre run by the former in Raipur to attack Mr Modi during his poll campaign at Ambikapur in Sarguja district in November last year. The SIMI operatives had conducted reconnaissance of the site where Mr Modi was scheduled to address the election rally,” Raipur range Inspector General of Police (IGP) G.P.Singh stated. According to Mr Singh, Umer had visited Pakistan to get training on terrorist activities. He used to train gullible Muslim youth at several places in Chhattisgarh by brainwashing them. “Umer was also recruiting cadres for Al Qaeda,” Mr Singh added. According to Mr Singh, Umer was planning to send the Muslim youth to Afghanistan to fight for al Qaeda after training them in militancy.

As many as four Indians are learnt to have died fighting battles in Iraq and Syria alongside Islamic State (IS)ever since it captured power in parts of the region, The Times of India reports on March 22. These are part of around 10 Indians whose connection with IS has been confirmed by the intelligence agencies. As many as 20 more of Indian origin but hailing from United States (US), United Kingdom (UK) and Europe are learnt to be engaged in propaganda activity for the outfit. Interestingly, however, only one of the four deceased had gone to the battle zone from India. Rest all are of Indian origin but were holed up in various countries for several years. The only direct export from India to have died in Syria is Shaheem Tanki. The other three include Karnataka's Bhatkal-born Sultan Armar from Pakistan, one youth from Saudi Arabia and another from a South East Asian country. Apart from these, there has been only one more fidayeen (suicide attacker) from India, Anwer Hussain, who died in 2014 in Afghanistan. However, all these deaths are yet to be confirmed by the intelligence agencies independently. Deaths of both Tanki and Armar were confirmed by the agencies through calls that were made to their respective families from Syria informing them of their ward's death. It must be noted that a similar call had been received in case of another IS recruit from Kalyan, Areeb Majid, who later returned to India and was arrested by National Investigation Agency (NIA). Sources said intelligence agencies have also confirmed that there are at least two former Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives who joined IS recently. "While one, Armar, is learnt to be dead now, another is still there. They had both been holed up in Pakistan since 2008. Anwer, who died in Afghanistan last year, also belonged to IM," said a security establishment officer. One Indian youth is also learnt to have joined the outfit from Singapore. The officer further said, India was in a much better position as neighbouring Pakistan had seen close to 50 youths joining IS since it captured power in parts of Syria last year.

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh has written to the Chief Ministers (CMs) of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh to ensure an early breakthrough in investigations so as to bring terror suspects to book, The Times of India reports on March 24. While the blasts referred to by Singh took place in Chennai and Bengaluru in May and December 2014 respectively, a prime suspect behind these blasts is a group of Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) under trials who escaped from Madhya Pradesh's Khandwa jail in October 2013. The separate letters to the three CMs recall the unsolved terror cases from the recent past, including the Khandwa jailbreak in Madhya Pradesh, the Chennai railway station blast of May 1, 2014 as well as the December 28, 2014 blast at Bengaluru. While one person was killed and 14 injured in the blast in a stationary train at Chennai railway station, the Bengaluru blast claimed one life and left three others injured. While offering all the three CMs Central assistance in solving these terror cases, Singh requested them to send him a line on the progress made by the investigating agencies so far. Meanwhile, Singh, according to home ministry sources, is also planning to write to the CMs of Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra soon, seeking an expeditious probe into the blasts at Bijnore in September and at Pune in July 2014 respectively.

A camp at Aluva in the Ernakulam District of Kerala is under the scanner of the National Investigating Agency (NIA) which is currently miffed with several State Governments for not doing enough in the cases against the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports One India on March 26. , Intelligence Bureau officials said that the five SIMI operatives who have been on the run since October 2013 after they broke out from the Khandwa jail in Madhya Pradesh attended a camp at Aluva in Kerala which was meant to discuss terror related activities. The officials added that the SIMI is regrouping and this meeting at Aluva was held only to discuss the future course of action. With the NIA now on the hunt for the SIMI fugitives who had escaped from jail over a year back, Intelligence is trickling in which suggests that they had made several visits to Aluva. A camp at Aluva which was aimed a regrouping several members of the SIMI is being seen as a big development by the security agencies. Reports said that these kinds of camps are extremely dangerous and we have seen in the past as well how the members regrouped and became extremely dangerous. Aluva has been used in the past by members of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) too. The confessional statement by Abdul Karim Tunda, a key LeT operative gives a clear indication of how Aluva had been used a training ground by several operatives. Tunda gave a perspective as to how these camps not always train for combat, but to hold meetings for a large gathering of people. It is aimed at changing the mindset of the people at large so that they carry out anti India activities, Tunda had also revealed. Intelligence Bureau officials said that these camps have mushroomed on and off in various parts of Kerala. There are preachers flown in from Saudi Arabia who give out sermons only with an intention of radicalizing the youth. A camp similar to the one held in Aluva was also conducted in Wagamon, a hill station located in Kottayam-Idukki border of Kottayam District of Kerala. The camp that was held in 2007 paved the way for the birth of the Indian Mujahideen (IM). Several members of the IM such as Yasin, Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal were part of this camp. The camp was headed by SIMI chief Safdar Nagori who swore revenge against India. These camps ensured the regrouping of various youth who went on to form the IM. Tunda during his interrogation also said about the camp at Wagamon. He had told the Police that several such camps were held in various parts of Kerala which had helped the groups flourish. These camps not only helped to change the mindset but also increased the recruitments, the Police had also found while questioning Tunda.

The State Information Commission (SIC) in Bangalore (Karnataka) was left flabbergasted after a suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorist named in several cases, including the 2008 Delhi serial blasts, was brought in as an RTI applicant, reports Mumbai Mirror on March 27. Terror suspect Akbar Ismail Choudhary, who is currently lodged in Arthur Road jail (Mumbai Central Prison), was escorted by Mumbai Police to Bangalore in a train to answer a summons from the SIC on March 26. Choudhary had filed an Right to Information (RTI) application in May 2014 seeking to know the status of the case registered with Ullal Police station in Karnataka in 2008. In the RTI application, Choudhary claimed the Karnataka case hasn't progressed even as he was arrested and sent to jail in Maharashtra in connection with another terror-related case. The application was filed through Arthur Road jail authorities, and forwarded to Karnataka Police. The SIC had issued summons to both parties to appear before it on March 26. However, the Information Commissioner Krishna Murthy told Mumbai Police that Choudhary should not be brought again even if a summons was sent to the prison. He said the case would be strictly dealt through video conferencing from now on

Almost three months after the Bengaluru Police busted the 'explosives module' of Indian Mujahideen (IM), agencies have found strong evidence of involvement of Islamic fundamentalist group Popular Front of India (PFI) in 2011 Mumbai bombings, 2012 Pune blasts and 2013 Hyderabad Dilsukhnagar twin bomb blasts, reports The Times of India on March 27. While it is already known that IM's Riyaz Bhatkal, Yasin Bhatkal, Tehsin Akhtar, Assadulah Akhtar and Waqas planned these bombings, the responsibility of procuring explosives was given to PFI. Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) member, Syed Ismail Afaque Lanka, arrested in January 2015 by Bengaluru Police, has disclosed that he had sent PFI members to buy material- ammonium nitrate, gelatin sticks, non-electrical detonators, capacitors etc - which was used by IM members to assemble the deadly bombs that took many lives. Other than these three consignments, Afaque had also procured a huge consignment of explosives last year which he claimed was meant to carry out serial attacks on the anniversary of 9/11 (September 11, 2001 terrorist attack in United States) or 26/11 (November 26, 2008 Mumbai terror attack). Afaque disclosed that these explosives were easily available in coastal Karnataka and used in mining or fishing purposes. The intelligence agencies and National Investigation Agency (NIA) thoroughly grilled him for past two months over his association with IM, SIMI and other outfits. He admitted having visited Pakistan several times and meeting IM's Afeef Hasan, Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal. Associated with SIMI for a long time, the 36-year-old homeopath had also attended several meetings of SIMI and IM in the past in Dubai and Pakistan.
