The four major international airports of India in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata constitute about 94 per cent of instances of drugs smuggling and seizures, according to Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) data, The Times of India reports on January 4. Out of a total 63 incidents of narcotics detection and seizure at airports in the country in 2013, 59 were reported from these air facilities, one of the largest hubs in terms of passenger and cargo load. Only six per cent of cases were detected at the airports of Guwahati (Assam), Bangalore (Karnataka)and Madurai (Tamil Nadu).While Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport reported a total of 17 drugs seizure cases during the said period, the Chennai airport had 16 such instances while Kolkata and Mumbai airports registered 13 such instances each during 2013. Over 1,026 kilograms of narcotics, including Ketamine, Ganja, Heroin, Ephedrine and Pseudoephedrine were seized from these air facilities during the year leading to the arrest of 75 people under the provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, the data said."Drug couriers are largely intercepted and detected at international airports as they have the facility of being connected to foreign shores. Instances of both the consignment being sent out of India or being brought in have been detected under these seizures," a senior anti-narcotics official said.

In the data on terror financing tabulated from 2006 till date, terror finances to the tune of INR 148.5 million have been recovered by National Investigation Agency (NIA) and Police of 15 states, reports The Times of India on April 10. The NIA has surpassed the states in recovery of terror finances despite starting operations as late as 2009. According to the report, the agency seized INR 36.6 million in terror funds in 11 cases investigated by it since its inception. As many as 101 persons are accused in these cases. Jammu and Kashmir ranks second only to NIA in seizures. The state seized INR 29.3 million in 80 terror financing cases since 2006, in which 190 persons are accused.

Law enforcement agencies have been asked to step up security around dignitaries attending the Indo-Africa Summit due to the possibility of terror outfits Boko Haram and Islamic State (IS) attempting to disrupt the meet, sources in the intelligence establishment said, The Times of India reports on October 27. The threat perception of the summit has been marked as "very high" as several heads of state visiting Delhi are under threat from Boko Haram, which is mainly active in Nigeria and has recently pledged its allegiance to IS. Highly-placed sources said the foreign region registration office (FRRO) and Delhi Police sleuths were keeping a tab on African nationals who have arrived in Delhi in the last one week. Over 25,000 Delhi Police and paramilitary personnel are operating in tandem with the African security apparatus in central and New Delhi areas for the summit. Security will be much increased on October 29, 2015 when all heads of state, along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and high-ranking Indian and African officials will congregate at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium.

Victims of cyber offences can now report their cases and seek technical help at zero cost at the first private cyber crime reporting helpline which has become operational in Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR), reports niticentral.com. Through the helpline number launched last month (October, 2015), the reporting centre has received around 250 complaints in 15 days, said a source in the Indian Cyber Army, developer of the helpline and consultant to Delhi Police and their counterparts in three other states. The concept of the cyber helpline was borrowed from that of the Internet Crime Complaint Centre (IC3.gov) operated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), said a developer connected with the helpline.

In the wake of the Paris attacks, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) decided to build a central database on terror funding by collating financial components of various terror attacks in India in the past, Indian Express reports on November 21. The idea is that the database will help the security apparatus establish a pattern for different terror groups and help in choking their source of funding. “The process has begun. More agencies are being roped in. It will take some time but creation of a central database on terror funding will go a long way in tackling terrorism in the country,” said a UMHA official. Sources said agencies have been asked to tabulate money spent on each terror attack, money recovered from arrested terrorists, chain of funds for an attack as revealed during an interrogation and various allied crimes that indirectly lead to funding of terror activities. Of late, investigations have focused on unraveling funding patterns of various terror groups.

The interrogation of the arrested Border Security Force (BSF) Head Constable Abdul Rasheed and his handler Kafaitullah Khan has led the Crime Branch to probe an Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) mole in the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi who may be facilitating anti-India activities, The Times of India reports on December 1. Police said Khan had been called to Pakistan by his handlers in the ISI to discuss developments in recruitments and information-sharing. However, his visa had expired so he was asked to meet a person at the high commission, whose identity has not been disclosed, and submit his passport. Rasheed, who has been remanded in police custody till December 7, 2015 had passed on the Army's frontier war plan to ISI. Delhi Police has recovered a copy of the plan, called Order of Battle (ORBAT), from Rasheed apart from other sensitive documents. ISI had also obtained the exact location and strength of two Rashtriya Rifles (RR) units and deployment of BSF units in Poonch, Mendhar and Rajouri in Jammu and Kashmir through the agents. These details have been submitted by the crime branch to a city court as well. The arrested duo are being interrogated to ascertain the identity of their Pakistani handlers and other possible accomplices in the Army and BSF. Police say the duo have accomplices in other security units as well who have been identified and are likely to be arrested in the coming days.

Suspected Islamic State (IS) hackers may have routed a Delhi-based firm's payments from a London client to the jihadist group's bank accounts in Turkey, The Times of India reports on December 20. Delhi Police say the fraud amounting to INR 5-6 crore is the biggest in the capital this year and was possibly carried out by hacking the email account of an employee. While Police started off investigating the IS angle because the money was diverted to Turkey, their suspicion was strengthened on learning that the London (UK) client provides humanitarian aid to war-hit people in Syria and refugees in countries like Turkey. An FIR was being registered at an undisclosed Police Station on December 19. The victim firm is based in south Delhi and provides consultancy and advisory services to development and social projects in India and abroad. The client's website states it provides relief and other assistance to people inside Syria and to refugee families in neighbouring countries, including Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. The complaint states that the Delhi firm had regularly received payments from the client (name withheld) in its account with Kotak Mahindra Bank, and when they stopped in October, it waited patiently for the sake of goodwill. However, when it followed-up a few days ago, the client claimed it had processed some of the payments. It sent an email on December 18, giving details of the accounts credited, thus alerting the firm to the fraud.

With a rising number of youth getting attracted to Islamic State (IS), the Centre has sought an action taken report from the states governments and union territories on the initiatives taken by them to counter the threat posed by the outfit, Economic Times reports on December 28. Government officials said nearly 100 young men and women who are trying to go to Syria and Iraq to join IS are under their scanner. Most of these Indians have joined IS from countries such as Oman, Jordan, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, where they have gone for jobs, officials said. As per an analysis carried out by Indian agencies, Indians who joined IS do not "perceive" any sense of injustice in India, but have deep seethed anger towards the West. Law enforcement agencies say they are unable to do anything about Indians staying abroad and joining IS, despite having information about their identity. "We have managed to stop those leaving India and joining IS by roping in their families and friends. The cases of those staying abroad are different as we are unable to do anything unless they return to India or caught in the country of their stay," an official had said.
