Bangalore Police Commissioner B.G. Jyothi Prakash Mirji, commented "We are certain that Dr Siddiqui played a major role in recruiting and providing logistics and funds to those arrested…. We are checking whether Dr Siddiqui was involved in the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) module that was busted in 2008 in Hubli in Dharwad District of Karnataka and surrounding areas. We suspect a link between the earlier SIMI group, which later reinvented itself as the Indian Mujahideen (IM) after the government banned it.”

A senior officer commented, "It's a matter of concern for the government. In the recent past, most of the terrorists arrested by law enforcing agencies are from these districts. It's high time that we step up our vigil, otherwise it will be too late”. It was found that activists of the banned Students Islamic movement of India (SIMI), Indian Mujahideen (IM) and certain organisations from neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, were focusing on the Marathwada region and were being funded from across the border. After the arrest of one of the prime handlers of the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attacks and arrested Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) found that most of the persons, who have been detained so far, did visit Pakistan for training or were trained locally by those who had visited the country. "We are closely watching the situation in Marathwada. We are sure we can break the nexus between members of the banned outfit and their Pakistani counterparts,'' the officer further added.

With the National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC) failing to take off, the Government is aiming to give more teeth to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to crack down on terror outfits such as the banned Indian Mujahideen (IM), reports The Times of India. In a clear pointer to its intent, the Union Home Ministry has asked the country's premier terror agency to lodge a fresh FIR against the outfit with its absconding members as accused. The Government is rattled by recurring attacks from IM operatives, the latest suspected to be the Pune blasts on August 1, and is embarking on a new approach to crack down on the outfit's network and cross-border infrastructure. The NIA FIR, likely to be filed soon, will not focus on any specific event but the larger nationwide designs and conspiracy by the outfit to wage war against the country. This will help NIA to take up any incident related to the outfit and freely conduct investigations.

In the annual Director General of Police (DGPs’) conference being held in New Delhi, for the first time it was officially declared that Indian Mujahideen (IM) 'has Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) patronage’, reports The Deccan Chronicle on September 8. The Police top brass across India has been warned that the IM’s resurgence is taking place with new modules set up in New Delhi and Bihar. The Delhi Police, in a conference presentation on September 7, said the IM was targeting disenchanted youth comprising 'petty criminals' and 'highly-paid software professionals' for assembling bombs, Internet hacking and is extensively using social networking sites to avoid detection. The banned outfit is also picking 'normal cosmopolitan-looking cadres' to give the security forces the slip. Many inter-state modules of IM are said to exist in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Kerala. Posing a challenge for investigators, it is revealed that IM modules are entirely unconnected, and that even within a module strict observance of the 'need to know' principle is observed. The IM also has a substantial flow of funds from other countries routed illegally via hawala (illegal money transfer) channels, the Delhi Police claimed. Top IM leaders like Iqbal and Riyaz Bhatkal and several others are believed to have escaped via Bangladesh and Nepal to Pakistan and the UAE, from where they can direct cadres in India. The Delhi Police has also warned that the IM is trying to steer clear of known criminals and identifiable former Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) men so that they stay off the police radar, and hunting for new recruits through innocuous religious platforms in cities like Pune (Maharashtra) and Mangalore (Karnataka).

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on September 7, asked the state Police chiefs to be “professional and technically sound” while collecting forensic evidences, reports Indian Express. CBI gave a detailed presentation on the importance of forensic evidence in solving any crime or terror case and asked the states to follow the model prescribed by them. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) expressed concern over the growing influence of Northeast insurgent groups and their links with “outside agencies”. It said many insurgent groups ran training camps in Myanmar. The Delhi Police, which was the first to bust the module of the home-grown terror outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) in 2008, also asked the states to be on alert owing the pan-India presence of IM.

A highly-specialised cyber division of Pakistan’s the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has been assigned the task of training operatives of militant outfits in the use of cyber technology, as reported on September 10, by Deccan Herald. The ISI’s cyber experts are visiting training camps of militant outfits like the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and the Indian Mujahideen (IM) most of which are located in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) to train their cadre in use of computers. These details form part of a classified note which was discussed during the high level security review meeting of DGPs/IGPs that concluded in the capital on September 8. According to the note, “the ISI is now working on a bigger gameplan in training terrorists in the use of cyber and computer technology as the Pakistani agency feels India is not fully equipped in dealing with incidents of cyber war or attack.’’ Importantly, the note states that the training given to subversive elements by ISI’s cyber experts played a key role in spreading the hate campaign through MMS and SMSes targeting people from the Northeast in wake of ethnic violence in Assam. And this trend will only increase in the days to come and it is for this reason that ISI has stressed upon militant outfits to recruit more educated youth, it adds. “It is almost certain that the Pakistani agency was behind the recent cyber attack on India, at least indirectly. Having tasted success they will try it again in future and on a much bigger scale. So we must be prepared to deal with this challenge,’’ a senior intelligence official said.

IM is out to resurrect the outfit by dumping former cadres of the Students Islamic Movement of India and starting recruitments afresh, the Delhi Police have warned. These youths are fresh faces and have had no connection with any other group; the IM is looking for such persons to take into their fold, a Delhi Police officer said. Looking at the latest dossier on the IM, it becomes clear that the outfit is not entirely operating on Indian soil. Earlier, the entire leadership was in India and was a home grown outfit, which relied heavily on former cadres of the SIMI However, today there is a shift in that pattern. The IM has deliberately decided to leave out former cadres of the SIMI, as the Police and the intelligence have a file on each former SIMI member

Calling Indian Mujahedeen (IM) a "start to finish jihad factory", security agencies have asked country's Police brass to watch out for the outfit, which continues to be on a "talent scouting" spree, emboldened by tacit support of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) and its labyrinthine networks in various cities of Uttar Pradesh (UP), Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala and Delhi, reports The Times of India. Referring to 40 "missing" youth of Maharashtra, who might have gone underground after joining IM, the central agencies asked top Policemen to look for their whereabouts. It is suspected that some of the youth might have joined the outfit during its routine recruitment drive. While "innocuous religious platforms" like Quran Foundation, Pune (Maharashtra); and Islamic Guidance Centre, Mangalore (Karnataka), among other similar institutions are happy hunting ground for its cadres, IM's primary targets are disenchanted Muslim youth —ranging from petty criminals to well-heeled software professionals. The agencies, in their presentation on IM, noted that recruitment of IT professional Mansoor Ali Mohammed Peerbhoy was a prized catch for the outfit. He was enlisted while he studying Arabic at Quran Foundation. Peerbhoy, a Yahoo executive-turned-media chief of IM, who was arrested in 2008, had lured a number of educated youth to IM's fold. Recruitments of Arif Badar, improvised explosive device (IED) assembly and micro-chip based timer expert, and Mobin, internet hacking expert, were cited as cases in point of how budding talents were identified and trained as terrorists through fiery and emotive taqrirs (speeches) and attitude hardening dars (lessons). It was noted that "brainwashing through doctored pictorials and videos, such as, that of Godhra and Babri Masjid incidents" was very common in taqrirs and dars. It is also noted that IM doesn't have a defined structure. Its top leaders run the show from safe havens not only in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia but also in Nepal and the UAE (Dubai and Sharjah). It has "substantial corpus of money" having funding sources based in Kuwait, Riyadh, Chicago and various cities in Pakistan. Though IM came to notice for the first time when it sent e-mail to media houses ahead of serial blasts in Faizabad, Lucknow and Varanasi in UP in November, 2007, its genesis - the note says - goes back to 2000. At that time, IM was largely involved in talent spotting, motivation and training of Indian youth in Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and ISI facilities to lend credence to the "homegrown terror" concept.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has asked the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to lodge a fresh FIR against the Indian Mujahedeen (IM) naming all the absconding members as accused, reports The Times of India. The NIA FIR, likely to be filed soon, won't focus on any specific incident but the larger conspiracy hatched by IM to wage war against the country. This will help the agency to take up any incident related to the outfit and freely conduct investigations. Sources said the FIR would have names of about a dozen absconding IM members, including those holed up in Pakistan. IM founders Riyaz and Iqbal Bhatkal, Amir Reza Khan (all hiding in Pakistan) would be charged along with Ahmed Zarar Siddibappa alias Yasin Bhatkal, Mohsin Chaudhary, Mirza Baig, Bada Sajid, Dr Shahnawaz, Ariz Khan, Abu Rashid and a few others, said sources. An unnamed official from the UMHA said, "While state agencies have had good success in breaking the outfit's network in recent years, it is still carrying out blasts with impunity. Hence, we need to move from event-specific investigations to a nationwide approach to neutralize it." "The idea of an open FIR is to emphasize that NIA is supposed to investigate national conspiracies and neutralize terror modules across India," said another official from the security establishment.

Shahrukh is a master of disguise and could be hiding anywhere in the country or in the capital".

A court, on September 13, awarded five-year rigorous imprisonment to three militants, identified as Khalid, Sami and Shahja of Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) in a 2008 case for possessing arms and distributing objectionable pamphlets in Shyamnagar area of Dhar District in Madhya Pradesh, reports Zee News. However, court acquitted Balliudeen, Mukeedeen and Nafesar for want of evidence, public prosecutor Ravindra Singh Gaur said. In a major crackdown in 2008, the Indore Police had caught 13 top SIMI militants from a house in Pithampur Industrial area of Dhar District.

Also, they are recruiting new activists to increase their network. The anti-terrorist squad has therefore been asked to be alert as more brains are pouring in to aid SIMI.

India may have to wait for Fasih Mohammad, an Indian Mujahideen (IM) militant, as Saudi Arabia government is toughening its stand on his deportation, as reported on September 17, by The Times of India. While Saudi authorities officially confirmed Fasih's detention, they conveyed that they were examining his stay "carefully". Sources insisted that the Saudi decision had a lot to do with the over-exposure of the role and cooperation of the Gulf country in sending November 26, 2008 (26/11) handler Abu Jundal to India. The National Security Advisor Shivshanker Menon, during his address to the Directors and Inspectors General of Police last week, cited this as an example saying Saudi authorities were not happy with the way details of the Abu Jundal operation were made public by the security agencies involved in the operation. Menon wanted secrecy to be maintained at all levels in handling cases of international terrorism as the acts have "dangerous propensity of international embarrassment".

The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) investigating the August 1, 2012 Pune (Maharashtra) serial blasts have detained a jeweller for processing INR 2.2 million hawala (illegal money transfer) transaction from Dubai and delivering it to two persons, suspected to be part of the sleeper cells of Indian Mujahideen (IM), as reported on September 17, by The Times of India. Earlier on September 16, it was reported that IM perpetrators were paid INR 1 million, sent through hawala from UAE, for 13/7 (July 13, 2012) blasts. "We have zeroed in on the perpetrators from the IM but they fled soon after the blasts," said a source. "Kola Enterprises was earlier found involved in sending Rs 10 lakh through hawala for Mumbai's 13/7 blasts. The ATS had then booked Muzaffar Kola, owner of the UAE firm, for its alleged involvement in the hawala deals. Even for the Pune blasts, the money was routed through the same firm, the source said. Muzaffar Kola Enterprises LLC, which deals in readymade clothes, perfumes, cosmetics and toys, is the front set up to run the money-laundering business, the source said.

The Mumbai (Maharashtra) High Court on September 24, granted bail on INR50,000 to Mohammad Atik Iqbal, an alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative, reports dnaindia.com. Iqbal is an accused in the 2008 Ahmedabad (Gujarat) blast and had allegedly attended the Jihadi meeting organised by the Bhatkal brothers and was accused of having been found in possession of 31 timers. He is also accused of having attended the party organised to celebrate the Ahmedabad blast. “The court accepted the contention that the timers found in his possession are normal alarm clocks readily available in the market. Just because it was found in Iqbal’s possession does not prove that he used them as an explosive device,” said Iqbal’s lawyer Mobin Solkar.

Investigations have revealed that Indian Mujahideen (IM), has links with the international Islamic organization Hizb-ul-Tahrir (HuT) banned in Germany and Bangladesh, as reported on September 27, by The Times of India. In a charge sheet filed a few days ago, Delhi Police has claimed it found documents related to HuT from the hideout of an IM member named Shakeel. This is the first instance of an IM-HuT link being found in India. Further, Delhi Police had filed two charge sheets against IM members and the alleged handler in the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) attacks case, Syed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal. The first charge sheet is against IM militants Kafeel Akhtar, Kamaal Hasan alias Bilal and Mohammad Shakeel, related to the discovery of an arms factory in Meer Vihar, Delhi in 2011. A team led by Special Cell DCP Sanjeev Yadav reported that the factory was being run by Ahmad Zarar Siddibappa alias Yasin Bhatkal, the IM ‘chief’ in India. Sources say the suspects' questioning yielded details about HuT and its link with IM. With Interpol's help, Delhi Police found that IM's HuT links are active in Austria, Ankara (Turkey) and Beirut (Lebanon). The banned outfit has a presence in more than 40 countries, and about one million members. It even has a base in the UK and a growing presence in North America. In the second charge sheet, Jundal is accused of involvement in terror activities across India. "He, along with Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] chief Zaki-ur-Rehman alias Lakhvi, monitored the 26/11 attacks from a control room at Malir in Karachi [Pakistan]," says the charge sheet. It also names Fasih Mohammad as a suspect in the Bangalore and Delhi blasts. He has been detained in Saudi Arabia. In addition, September 26, Zee News reported that Delhi Police said this is in a supplementary charge sheet in the Jama Masjid blast case (September 19, 2010) in which 11 IM militants were charge sheeted earlier. The investigators said during the probe it became evident that Jundal was also involved in the Jama Masjid blast case. The charge sheet said Jundal stated that one of the LeT operatives, Asim alias Abu Kahajo, the main handler of 10 terrorists involved in Mumbai terror attack, blamed failure of intended operation in September 2008 on selection of wrong time and the bad situation of Moon. "All ten persons involved in the 26/11 attack were taught Hindi and Mumbai's local language for ten days at terrorist camp at Baitul, Muzafaraad by Jundal, who is himself a native of Beed District in Maharashtra. The ten terrorists who had executed the attack are Abu Akasha, Abu Umar, Ismail, Ajmal Kasab (lone surviving 26/11 terrorist), Abdul Rahman Big, Abdul Rahman Small, Abu Fahadulla, Musab, Umer and Ali. In his disclosure statement annexed with the charge sheet, Jundal said that a control room was set up by Zaki-ur-Rehman at one Yaqoob's office in Karachi for monitoring of the terror attack and that Jundal himself was speaking to Abu Akasha and Fahadulla from the control room. Besides Jundal and Lakhvi, those who were present in the control room were Abu Alkama, Abu Kahaja, Khalida alias Wasi, Zarar and Shahid alias Nadeem. The charge sheet also says that Jundal had in his disclosure statement revealed that a total of 12 persons had received training for the 26/11 attack but two of them Abdulla and Qasim left the operation. The Police has booked Jundal under section 471 (using as genuine a forged document), 489 B (using as genuine, forged or counterfeit currency), 489 C (possessing counterfeit currency) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) of Indian Penal Code (IPC). And also under various provisions of the Explosive Substances Act, and the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), besides the Passport Act and Arms Act. The charge sheet said besides the Mumbai mayhem, Jundal also confessed to his involvement in various terror attacks across India including Aurangabad arms haul case, Chinnaswamy stadium blast case, the 2010 German bakery blast and the Nasik Academy attack case.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has registered a fresh case against the members of the banned outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) for recruiting, financing and running terror camps, as reported on September 27, by Indian Express. The latest case registered by the NIA names mastermind Amir Reza Khan, who is alleged to be running IM with Pakistan’s support. The agency said that the IM has received large amount of money over a period of one year from Pakistan, Saudi Arbia and other Gulf countries. In its FIR, the NIA has said that Yasin Bhatkal IM ‘chief’ of India received INR 5 lakh through hawala (illegal money transfer) to recruit IM cadres. Intelligence agencies say that the Bihar module, which was recently busted with the arrest of more than dozen cadres, was one such instance. According to the NIA, IM is also imparting training to its cadres regarding assembling of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and handling of explosives. \ Further, the NIA has also booked militants of the banned Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). The agency will collate information regarding the absconding members of IM and BKI. According to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), there are more than 52 militants of the IM and 15 militants of the BKI who have been identified by the Police and are presently on the run. The NIA cited communication between arrested members of the IM, including Pakistani national Adil Ajmal who was arrested by the special cell of the Delhi Police from Bihar, in 2011. The agency alleged that Adil received USD 13,000 through Western Union money transfer for recruiting and financing the modules. According to the NIA, Adil was earlier a member of the banned outfit, Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), and came to India from Bangaldesh in 2010. By then he was a member of the IM and claimed to have met Riyaz and Yasin Bhatkal. He was reportedly paid USD300 by Riyaz and asked to carry out recruitment and logistic work for the IM along with Yasin in In India.

Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and Central agencies probing the August 1, 2012 Pune (Maharashtra) blasts are now closing in on fronts funding Indian Mujahideen (IM) and its activities, reports Hindustan Times on October 1. One such key front based in south India projects itself as dedicated to social service but is modelled along the lines of the banned Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) in Pakistan; the Lashkar-e-Toiba’s (LeT) parent body. It has set up several illegal financial channels through which money is being channelled into the country for IM activities. ATS is closely monitoring this body as it may announce itself as a legitimate political outfit and contest elections in a state in south India. The organisation has roots in south India but has now built key bases in Mumbai, Pune, Marathwada region in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal, said sources. The finances the organisation generated have come largely from entities in Gulf countries. According to Police, “A thorough check is being run on their finances, and the credentials of those associated with the organisation”. Police sources said there are also reports that the body organised a training camp in Rajasthan. The organisation had first come to Police’s attention following the arrest of Himayat Mirza Baig in the German Bakery (February 13, 2010) blasts. Baig had attended the front’s camp in Rajasthan, sources said. “The worrisome part is that the organisation has been roping in smaller regional groups and is now looking to set itself up as an umbrella body across the country,” said the officer. “It is a scary situation. Elements of the banned Students Islamic Movement [SIMI] of India have received a boost to their anti-national activities through an organisation not overtly associated with terrorism,” said a senior IPS officer requesting anonymity.
