Kerala Policeon January 19 started a special drive to collect information about all missing persons following the arrest of a man Dineshan alias Riyaz Rasheed from the state, who went missing from north Kerala’s Wayanad, in connection with the terror attack on Pathankot airbase, reports Hindustan Times. The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is probing the attack, had arrested Dineshan a couple of days ago after it found that he had made calls to Pakistan. The agency had pinned him down after verifying the call list. Dineshan failed to give a reasonable answer as to why he had settled in a remote village called Musafar near Pathankot. He told investigators that he called one of his old colleagues from Saudi Arabia now settled in Pakistan.“An NIA team had visited the district two days ago and questioned some of his relatives,” Wayanad superintendent of police MK Pushkaran said. Dineshan’s relatives told the NIA that he had left home 16 years ago and was incommunicado all these years. The state police had booked him in 2000 after he was involved in a hooch smuggling case. He jumped bail, slipped to Saudi Arabia and later converted to Islam and changed his named, police said. The arrest of Dineshan has forced Kerala Police to start looking at the list of the missing persons in detail.

Security agencies have intensified their search for the absconding accused in various terror-related cases registered in Kerala, The Times of India reports on January 21. The move assumes significance in the backdrop of the recent terror attack on the Pathankot Air Force base and the arrest of Mananthavady native Dinesh alias Riyas in connection with the incident. Dinesh had been on the run after a court in Wayanad declared him wanted.The search for at least six accused in major cases is being carried out by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). "We had arrested six accused in various cases in 2015, while two surrendered before court. We are now on the lookout for the other absconding accused," said an NIA source.Intelligence agencies had earlier warned of certain banned organisations trying to lure people with criminal records and those seeking refuge in other states, into their fold. Though there are a large number of people from Kerala in the `absconding' list, the state police are yet to increase alert unlike the central agencies dealing with counter-terrorism cases.

According to Enforcement agencies the flow of Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) to Kerala has recorded an increase of 360 per cent in 2015 compared to 2014, New Indian Express reports on February 25. Though the total seized value of counterfeit money is INR 34,55,000 in 2015 compared to INR 7,51,000 in 2014, the Police estimate that the seized amount is just below 10 per cent of the actual volume being circulated in the state.Police officials said counterfeit valued around INR 3 to 4 crore was being pumped into the state by the rackets every year and the bulk of it was used for real estate transactions. As per the latest Police data, Kozhikode accounted for highest seizure of FICN, INR 9,04000 lakh in September 2015, followed by Malappuram - INR 2,09000 in June 2015. Officials with the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) and National Investigation Agency (NIA) confirmed the increase in the inflow of FICNs to Kerala in the last one year and the seized amount was minuscule.ADGP (Intelligence) A Hemachandran said the fake currency agents have shifted their operations from Dubai to Bangladesh. “Earlier, Dubai was the major transit point for the rackets to source the FICNs but now the rackets operate from Bangladesh. As per reports, Malda in West Bengal has emerged as the nerve centre of the supply chain,” said As per the Police data, FICNs in the denomination of INR 1000 and INR 500 were highest though surprisingly police stumbled upon FICNs in the denomination of INR 10 and INR 20 from Kollam in August 2015.“We have seized 83 notes in the denomination of Rs 10 and eight notes of Rs 20 from Kollam. Even counterfeit of Rs 100 is widely circulated in the state,” police officials said. As per the data, Thiruvananthapuram reported the maximum number of FICN cases,5, followed by Ernakulam and Pathanamthita. Two cases were registered in Thrissur and Kozhikode, while one case was registered in Wayanad, Palakkad, Kollam and Kannur between January and October 2015.The NIA has already tracked the role of Pakistan’s ISI in production and distribution of FICNs via Dubai, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. “Sri Lankans are the new suppliers of the FICNs. Ports are still the hot destinations for the rackets to smuggle in FICNs. The new strategy is to smuggle in printed sheets of counterfeit and cut them to size in various hideouts in the state,” said an intelligence officer.

Expanding the probe into Islamic State (IS) related case registered in Kerala, the Internal Security Investigation Team (ISIT) has taken over the case from Malappuram Crime Detachment Wing and will coordinate with National Investigation Agency (NIA) to trace the links of Non Resident Keralites with the terrorist organisation, New Indian Express reports on May 3. “Though we conducted a detailed probe in the case, a comprehensive investigation is required to unearth the wider terror network. Being a district crime squad, our reach is limited and a case of this magnitude requires an agency like ISIT,” said Malappuram Crime Detachment DySP C K Babu, who confirmed the order directing to handover the case file to ISIT.

The Kochi unit of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has started gathering information from its counterparts in Hyderabad,where an IS-Islamic State module was neutralised, New Indian Express reports on July 12. “Top officials of NIA-Kochi, who are currently in Hyderabad in connection with the investigation, will be looking into the Kerala-link of the IS link as well,” said officials. “Online activities of suspected IS sympathisers are under surveillance. Probe of the Hyderabad case showed that the IS module had connection with several youths in South India, including Kerala. It is being probed whether the Hyderabad module received any aid from Kerala,” said an NIA official.Earlier, investigating a suspected terror module of IS in Hyderabad, the NIA on July 11 said the accused were tech-savvy and using a modern software to secure their email conversation with their handler in Syria, reports NDTV.

A day after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) busted an Islamic State (IS) module in Kerala and Tamil Nadu which was allegedly planning to carry out major strikes in several parts of south India, the probe revealed that one of the senior members of the module — Majeeb alias Omar Al Hindi, a resident of Kannur — was associated with Kerala-based Popular Front of India (PFI), reports Times of India on October 4. Investigations revealed that the module members came in touch with each other on Facebook and later started interacting on Telegram channel as they were all inclined towards the ideology of the so-called ‘caliphate’ led by Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi. "They forged an alliance and decided to operate from India instead of travelling to Iraq and Syria. However, we are questioning them on their links with online recruiters including Shafi Armar alias Yousuf Al Hindi," a source said. The NIA is investigating the module's link with 21 missing Kerala persons, including children and women, who travelled to Afghanistan in May-June. According to reports, Omar Al Hindi was an important cog in this IS module which was collecting explosives for its activities. He was working in Qatar and came to India recently.The, PFI, however has declined. PFI's director of media and PR Mohammed Arif Ahmed said, "PFI has taken a strong stand against the Islamic State and has condemned its activities.

The mastermind behind the Islamic State (IS)-inspired module that the National Investigation Agency (NIA) neutralised on October 2, was allegedly operating from Qatar through a WhatsApp group, to keep in touch with other members of the group, New Indian Express reports on October 4. The NIA believes that 30-year-old Manseed alias Omar Al Hindi, a native of Kerala and employed in Qatar, had devised plans to carry out terror attacks in India. Manseed was on a short four-day visit to his native Kannur and had asked other members to come there for a meeting when the NIA sleuths were believed to have got a tip-off and acted swiftly to arrest him and five others. The members of the module, who were residing in different places, had reached Kannur on October 1 for the meeting. Though he was in Qatar, Mansheed was operating a WhatsApp group with him as the admin to keep in touch with other members of the module, sources said.

The Islamic State (IS) module busted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on October 1 had links with cleric Zakir Naik, reports Times of India on October 6. According to them the televangelist was a source of inspiration, saying they were motivated by his speeches and social media posts.Manseed alias Omar al-Hindi, the ‘chief’ of the module had worked for 12 years as part of the intelligence wing of Popular Front India (PFI), reporting on activities of RSS and its functionaries in Kerala. The module headed by him was plotting Nice[France]-like attacks on community events, particularly an all-religion gathering in Kochi [Kerala], and had even been transferred INR 38,000 from abroad through Western Union to buy a second-hand heavy vehicle to be driven into the crowd, killing and maiming a large number of people, sources said.Al-Hindi's association with PFI ended after the organisation expelled him for marrying a woman from the Philippines, he revealed to his interrogators. The 30-year-old relocated from Kerala to Qatar around eight years ago and was working as a sales executive in Doha.

After arresting over 50 suspects for conspiring to set-up terror modules inspired by the Islamic State (IS) or for providing material support to the militant group, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has identified another 130 radicalised individuals, believed to be in contact with the accused, dnaindia.com reports on October 12. This watch list is a "preemptive measure" by the agency to track and monitor these individuals.The individuals on the watch list have not participated in any incriminating activities till now. They are, however, active on the social media and have made efforts on ground to gather support for IS, officials said. "They've tried to gather support for IS online and offline and enroll other members. They themselves, however, have refrained from joining any module,'' they added. The decision to put these individuals under surveillance was taken recently, after a few names cropped up frequently during interrogations. Consequently, the NIA wrote to police authorities in nine states – Delhi, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Haryana – asking them to monitor these supporters."We don't have any strong evidence against these people. Their names have cropped up during interrogations of accused. For now, we only know that they are radicalised and believe in the IS ideology,'' a senior NIA said. The state police have been given the responsibility to track down these individuals and question them, if needed. In several cases, investigators observed common links as IS supporters were part of WhatsApp groups and Facebook pages or used encrypted platforms for communication.

The seven people who were recently arrested for working as Islamic State’s (IS) south India module were planning to carry out ‘lone wolf’ attacks on targets, revealed the National Investigation Agency (NIA), reports The New Indian Express on October 22. NIA officials said the members were having their first meeting at Kanakamala in Kannur District of Kerala after the group was formed a year ago.“When the attacks are carried out by a group, it is easy for security agencies to track and foil its plans. However, when it comes to single-man operations, agencies cannot keep focusing on one person. The IS attack in Nice in France, in which a truck was used to ram into the crowd, was carried out by a lone wolf,” said an NIA official. The IS group decided to have a face-to-face meeting in Kannur after security agencies managed to secure some of their plans, and they found it tough to procure explosives. Five members of the group were arrested on October 2. “Subahani, who had fought for the IS in Iraq, had the task of arranging explosives. Even though he had contacted several explosives agents, none of his attempts bore fruit. The meeting was organised to make changes in the operations of the module,” the official said.After tracing the funds received by Subahani, the NIA suspects that more IS modules are functioning in south India. He was directed by handlers stationed abroad and was told that the money for purchasing explosives would be kept under an idol at a park in Chennai in Tamil Nadu. “As directed, Subahani visited Butterfly Park in Chennai where he found `20,000 under an idol. We are trying to trace the people who kept the cash there,” said the NIA official.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into 21 missing persons from Kerala has unearthed that more than 30 youths from the state had attended Islamic State (IS) training camps in Afghanistan, Deccan Chronicle reports on October 26.According to a report, many of these youth may have returned to India to set up sleeper cells. Many educated Muslim youths from Kerala who were working in Gulf countries had strong links with IS terror networks, the report also said. Furthermore, some NRI businessmen had funded the terror activities of these youth. Apart from radical Muslim outfits operating in the state, so-called secular religious groups are also involved in encouraging youth to join IS, said the report. Handlers of terror outfits have used social media effectively to recruit the youths from the state without alerting the police and intelligence agencies.Earlier, NIA identified Sajeer Abdulla Mangalaseri as the 'chief' of IS network in Kerala. 35-year-old Sajeer, a Civil Engineer from National Institute of Technology (NIT), Kozhikode and a Salafist who hails from Moozhikal in Kozhikode District had been recruiting people from Kerala in IS fold. Intelligence agencies now believe that Sajeer is no more working in UAE, but hiding somewhere in Afghanistan, keeping in close touch with the missing youth from Kerala.

The terror outfit, the Base Movement that claimed responsibility of the blast at collectorate in Malappuram on November 1, has warned of similar attacks in various parts of the country, The Times of India reports on November 3. It is learnt that the Base Movement has also issued a death threat against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union ministers in a pen drive abandoned at the blast site but police have not confirmed it.A special Police team, led by Narcotic Cell DSP P T Balan, has been formed to probe the incident. An eight-member team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), also visited the spot on November 2. The agency will be assisting the police team. IG (Thrissur range) M R Ajithkumar, said the pen drive contained visuals of six spots across the country -including one in Kerala. He said a preliminary investigation hinted at the role of `The Base Movement', reportedly the Indian affiliate of Al Qaeda, in the blast."The pen drive contained visuals similar to those recovered from blast sites in Kollam, Nellore and Mysuru. There were no personal references made in the pen drive or in the map. There is a warning also that such things can happen again. The state police chief is directly supervising the probe," he said.

For the first time 28 accused of July 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts were produced before the special court for trial of National Investigating Agency (NIA) cases at Ernakulam, Kerala, through video conferencing arranged by National Informatics Center onNovember 21 morning at the District collector office in Ahmedabad, reports The Times of India. The accused are facing a trial for allegedly being part of the training camp organized by Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), a banned organization, in December 2007 in the forests of Wagamon in Kerala.The first such video conferencing came after hundreds of orders in this regard had been issued by the court since past four years inquiring which jail had a video conferencing facility so that the accused could be produced without being transported manually.It is worth mentioning that cases have been registered against most of the Ahmedabad serial blast accused in Rajasthan, Delhi, UP, MP, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Kerala, AP and Karnataka, and every time they were being manually taken to the above mentioned courts by road, risk increased. Senior Police officials said producing the accused manually consumes five days of road journey and it is fraught with risk, especially after the Bhopal jail break in which eight alleged SIMI activists had escaped from the jail after killing a constable. Later, all eight alleged SIMI activists were gunned down in an encounter about 12 km from Bhopal."Out of the 30 accused in Wagamon case, 28 are lodged in Sabarmati Central Jail in Ahmedabad. They were taken to the District Collector Office on Monday morning and from there they were produced before the Ernakulam court through video conferencing," said a senior police official. According to a chargesheet submitted by the NIA, office bearers and functionaries of the SIMI hatched a criminal conspiracy to conduct training camps in Wagamon, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat with the intention to train participants to advocate and incite hatred and abet unlawful and terror activities in different parts of the country.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing activities of the Islamic State (IS) in South India has confirmed the involvement of one person, Abu Ayisha a native of Kerala in instigating members of the local IS module to carry out terror activities in various parts of the country, New Indian Express reports on November 23. The agency has initiated steps to ascertain whether it is IS activist and Kozhikode-native Shajeer Mangalassery operating in the name of ‘Abu Ayisha.’ Once the identity of Abu Ayisha is confirmed, he will be prosecuted as accused in the case. Earlier on November 21, NIA sleuths had conducted raid at the residence of Shajeer, who is a graduate from the NIT.According the NIA, Shajeer who moved to Afghanistan via the UAE has been communicating with the IS operatives in India. The agency had neutralised the South Indian module of the terror organisation in October, 2016 and arrested six persons, while the group was holding a meeting at Kanakamala in Kannur.“The IS members used to receive messages from Abu Ayisha through Telegram. The initial inquiry revealed that Abu Ayisha instigated members of the module to wage war against the nation and the Government of India. We suspect that ‘Abu Ayisha’ is Shajeer himself, who has also been actively propagating the IS ideology through Facebook, under the profile name Sameer Ali,” said NIA officials. It was also found that Abu Ayisha was the link between the local IS module and the 22 persons who moved to Afghanistan from Kerala to join the IS.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has approached the National Central Bureau (NCB), a wing under Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that acts as Interpol in India, for issuing red corner notice (RCN) against 19 Keralites, including five women, who are believed to have joined Islamic State (IS) in Afghanistan, New Indian Express reports on December 14. The notice, which is an arrest warrant circulated by Interpol on behalf of the government of a particular country and serves as a request from one country to another to arrest and deport the wanted individual, will enable the NIA to track the missing persons with assistance from police agencies, which act as Interpol in Afghanistan.NIA officials said an application for the notice was filed a few weeks ago. “NCB would proceed on the application against the absconding accused in the missing person cases reported in Kasargod and Palakkad. It will be sent to the Interpol Secretariat for issuing red corner notices. There is a non-bailable arrest warrant pending against the 19 accused,” said an NIA official. The official added that once the notice is issued, agencies acting as Interpol in Afghanistan would assist in tracking them.“They can also be nabbed easily at airports, should they choose to fly. We suspect the accused have reached Nangarhar Province in Afghanistan, where IS has gained a foothold after Syria, Iraq and North African countries. Hence tracking them would not be easy,” the official said. In all, 22 persons - 14 men, five women and three children - were reported absconding from Kasargod and Palakkad. The children were not named as accused in the case.Earlier, the Interpol issued RCNs against 23 Keralites - 20 men and 3 women. With the addition of 19 more persons, Kerala would be one of the Indian states with highest number of wanted persons in the country against who RCN has been issued. An RCN is pending against P P Yusuf and K P Sabir, who have been absconding since cases pertaining to terrorist activities were registered against them in Kerala and other states.NIA has approached NCB to issue RCNs against Abdul Rasid alias Rashi (30) of Udumbunthala, his wife Sonia Sebastian alias Ayisha (29), Padanna-natives Mohammed Sahid (29), Murshid Mohammed T K (24), Hafesudheen Theke Koleth (23) Ashfaq Majeed (25), Dr Ijas (32), his wife Rafeela (25), Shihas (24) of Thekkepuram, his wife Ajmala, Yakkara-natives Bexen Vincent alias Isa alias Easa (31), his wife Fathima alias Nimisha (26), Bestin Vincent alias Yahiya (24), his wife Merin Jacob alias Mariyam (24), Shibi Kunnath Thodil (31) of Kanjikode, Muhammad Marwan (23) of Thrikaripur and Firoskhan M T P (24), Shamsiya Kuriya (24) and Muhammad Manzad of South Thrikaripur.
