India is most vulnerable to online crime, with
explored trends in frauds conducted in financial services such
as insurance, retails and telecoms, according to a survey conducted
by the Experian. The persons behind these online frauds are
mostly educated and well-aware of their target's whereabouts.
So far the Cyber Crime Cell of Cyberabad had registered over
fifty cases related to online frauds, said Inspector of the
Cyber Crime Cell, P. Ravi Kiran in Hyderabad.
According to the data from Cyberabad's Cyber
Crime Cell, around 60 to 70 complaints are related to the fraud
involving 'OTP', jobs and matrimonial matters. Ironically, 50
per cent of the victims are IT professionals and the accused
are from non-IT background, said S. Jayaram, ACP of Cyberabad's
Cyber Crime Cell. The fraudsters also used advertisements and
classifieds listing in well-known newspapers as their modus
operandi in cyber crime, said a senior official at Cyberabad's

The suspected Islamic State (IS) 'Indian operations
chief' Shafi Armar, who is operating from Syria, is using at
least 10 different names while luring local recruiters from
India, especially from Hyderabad, into activities of Islamic
State, the NIA officials said. "The list of names, this most
wanted terror suspect Armar christened himself are- Chotta Mulla,
Ahmed Ali, Anjan Bhai, Naukua, Yusuf-Al-Hindi, Gumnam, Shafi
and many more,'' both Telangana and NIA officials told.
The findings were made by NIA after probing
various IS-related cases registered across India, including
at its regional center in Hyderabad. Shafi Armar made a vain
attempt to substantially spread IS activities in India, and
had roped in two Hyderabadi youths, Arshad Ali of Mehadipatnam
and Kadir of Golconda, to Syria in 2015. After the duo reached
Syria, the two are acting as intermediaries for both Shafi Armar
and the new local prospective recruiters, and scouting for new
recruits. The trio, Armar and these two are using mobile applications
like Trillian, Surespot and Nimbus and avoided
using WhatsApp. Officials in the Intelligence department
said the handlers in Syria ask sympathisers to use only these

Five IM operatives, including co-founder Yasin
Bhatkal, were convicted by a special NIA court in Hyderabad
in connection with the 2013 blasts in Dilsukhnagar, Hyderabad.
The other four convicts are Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas

Pradesh, Tahaseen Akhtar from Bihar and Aijaz Sheikh from Maharashtra.
They are at present lodged in Cherlapally prison, where the
special court heard the case. The sentencing has been posted
for December 19, 2016. IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal, the prime accused
in the case, is absconding.
The six were charged under various sections
of the IPC, Explosives Substances Act and UAPA, 1967. The trial
began on August 24, 2015. By the time final arguments concluded
in November, the NIA court had examined 453 witnesses and over

Prime accused in Dilsukhnagar blast case, and
IM operative, Riyaz Bhatkal is believed to be holed up in Karachi,
with the patronage of Pakistan's ISI. NIA detectives claim IM
co-founder Riyaz made a huge amount of money courtesy the benevolence
of ISI. "Several IM members received financial and material
assistance from ISI, which has been providing shelter to Riyaz
and his brother Iqbal Bhatkal in Karachi," the NIA said in its
chargesheet filed in the Dilsukhnagar blast case. Officials
said Riyaz is currently living a lavish life at a house in Karachi.
Riyaz's financial prosperity, a result of deciding
to sail with the ISI, is what led to the IM split, an NIA source
said. His decision was contrary to that of former IM members
such as Shafi Armar who is reportedly in Syria luring Indians
to join the ranks of the Islamic State (IS) - and others, who
wanted to further the cause of either al Qaeda or the IS. As
Riyaz reportedly has a passport issued by Pakistan, NIA officials
are finding it difficult to track his movements and nab him.

Five IM operatives were awarded death penalty
by a special NIA court in Hyderabad in the February 2013 Dilsukhnagar
(Hyderabad) blasts case. This is the first case that any operative
of the IM has been convicted. Earlier, on December 13, the court
convicted the five operatives, including IM co-founder Mohammad

Zia-ur-Rahman alias Waqas, Asadullah Akh-tar alias

The court convicted Yasin Bhatkal and others
under various sections of IPC, Arms Act, UAPA. The NIA special
court, after hearing the defence and prosecution's arguments,
pronounced the quantum of sentence. According to NIA, Riyaz
Bhatkal arranged for explosive substances and directed Asadullah
Akhtar and Zia-ur-Rahman at Mangalore to receive the same.
After receiving the explosive materials and
the money sent by Riyaz through hawala and money transfer channels,
Asadullah Akhtar and Waqas reached Hyderabad and joined Tahseen
Akhtar, who was already hiding there, it had said. Together
they prepared two IEDs after procuring the other required materials
as well as two cycles for mounting the IEDs from Hyderabad,
the agency had said. After preparation of the IEDs on February
21, 2013, the accused mounted two bombs on two bicycles. They
had planted them in two separate places in Dilsukhnagar which

Six months after the NIA busted an Islamic State
(ISIS) module in Hyderabad, the agency filed a charge sheet
against eight members including their leader Mohammad Ibrahim
Yazdani. The module was planning major attacks on VVIPs, religious
places, crowded markets, government buildings including police
stations and had even collected several kilograms of explosives
for the purpose. The outfit'S leader Ibrahim Yazdani, who was
in continuous touch with ISIS's principal recruiter for India
- Shafi Armar - was specifically inspired by controversial Islamic
preacher Zakir Naik and had even gone to Mumbai (Maharashtra)
to attend one of IRF camp as a volunteer. Yazdani went for the
IRF camp in 2010 and listened to his speeches. He had been following
Naik's speeches since 2004. The other members of the outfit
were also radicalized online by watching videos of the ISIS,
bayans (discourses and lectures) of radical Islamic preachers
such as Anwar Awlaki, Abdu Sami Qasmi, Meraj Rabbani, Tausif
ur Rehman, Jerjees Ansari and Zakir Naik.
NIA charge sheet says that the module members
downloaded and followed the ISIS propaganda videos, ISIS magazine
- "Dabiq", which convinced them that the ISIS was fighting for
the rights of the Sunnis. "The group associated with the terrorist
organization called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (the
ISIS) and pledged their allegiance through the Bay'ah (oath
of allegiance) to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-proclaimed
Caliph of the Islamic State and formed a group called Junood-ul
Khilafa Fi Bilad Al Hind (Army of the Caliph from the South

A group of alleged Islamic State (IS) sympathisers,
conspiring to target Police Stations in Hyderabad (Telangana),
used a host of encrypted applications, including one developed
by al Qaeda's propaganda arm, in order to keep their communication
secure, the NIA said. Al-Fajr Media Centre distributes al Qaeda's
online propaganda material. Its technical branch al-Fajr Technical
Committee was established in 2012. Two years later, it released
an Android version of it is encryption programme called Amn
al-Mujahid (security of mujahid) for mobile phones. "Two members
of the (IS sympathiser) group, Mohammed Ibrahim Yazdani and
Abdulla Bin Ahmed al-Amoodi had downloaded Amn al-Mujahid encryption
on their mobile phones," says the NIA charge sheet against eight
members of the group. Even then, they never discussed their
plans on these applications and preferred face-to-face meeting
to discuss their targets, the agency noted. The group also used
Tor applications like 'Orbot' and 'Orfox', which hide a user's
internet usage by bouncing it through a series of computers
around the world. "We will have to continuously update our knowledge
and technology to keep track of the suspect communication,"

With the arrest of top operatives of Bangladesh-based

role in helping the IM operatives to flee India, the Police
strongly feel that 'Sleeper Cells' in Hyderabad are active.
On recovering numerous telephone numbers from the mobiles of
arrested HuJI-B operatives, the suspicion of the SIT about the
sleeper cell functioning in Hyderabad has further strengthened.
"They are sleeper cells. Their activity of arranging shelter
to the illegal immigrants, arranging Indian identification and
helping them cross the border is just a cover. The motto of
the group in performing such activities is something that has
to be extracted during interrogation," according to an unnamed
