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.

Citing the November 26, 2008 (26/11) Mumbai (Maharashtra) terror attack and four other cases, the March 25, 2015 released FBI 9/11 Review Commission report concluded that Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) needs faster reforms to transform itself into a threat-based, intelligence-driven organisation, New Indian Express reports on March 26. One of the key plotters of 26/11, Pakistani-American David Coleman Headley, the report noted "had previously come to the attention of US law enforcement authorities but FBI officials repeatedly concluded that Headley did not pose a threat at the time." "The increasingly complex and dangerous threat environment it faces will require no less," said the report which studied FBI investigations into five "significant terrorism events." In none of those cases did a confidential source "provide actionable intelligence to help prevent or respond to a terrorist operation," the report said. In December 2007, Headley's Moroccan wife complained to US officials at the US Embassy in Islamabad (Capital of Pakistan) that her husband was a terrorist. But the FBI investigation of Headley did not begin until 2009, and it was triggered by a tip that originated outside the FBI that revealed his relationships with extremists abroad, the report said. "One of the main lessons from the Headley case is that absent an intelligence effort across the US Intelligence Community to understand the connections among cases and complaints across field offices, relevant intelligence may fall by the wayside," it said. News outlets, it noted, have reported, prior to his terrorist activities, Headley had worked as a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) informant in the late 1990s and the early 2000s, following two heroin trafficking arrests. "A single complaint may be more easily dismissed as a poison pen motive, but several unrelated complaints should not be dismissed as readily as the work of a malcontent," the report said. "The Headley case raises the important question faced by all intelligence agencies - certainly important to the FBI - of how to scan and assess voluminous amounts of collected information strategically and identifying valuable intelligence leads," the report said. "Still, more than a decade after 9/11, the FBI must prioritize empowering and equipping its analytic cadre to make these connections with cutting edge technology, to minimize the risk of the FBI missing important intelligence information," it said. "The FBI had no knowledge of Headley's connections to Lashkar-i-Taiba (LeT) until provided with a tip that originated outside the FBI that prompted the investigation in 2009.

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.

Madhya Pradesh accounted for seizure of terror finances worth INR 16.4 million, while Odisha Police seized around INR 11.2 million. Though Karnataka, Gujarat and Kerala registered 14, three and one terror financing case respectively under Unlawful Activities [Prevention] Act (UAPA), they did not report any seizure since 2006. As many as 213 terror financing cases were registered by NIA and various state Police, in which 873 persons are accused.

Glaring loopholes in Maharashtra's coastal security were exposed in a recent report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), which pointed to such problems as inadequate infrastructure, reports dnaindia.com on April 11. The CAG, in its report on the general and social sector for the year has pointed to deficiencies in planning for the scheme, delays in construction of coastal police stations and check posts, and infrastructure and manpower shortage. The CAG report also said that 57 per cent of the non-technical staff posted in the coastal Police Stations did not possess swimming skills. This was despite the government having issued a circular which made swimming skills mandatory for staff deployed for coastal security. The boats to be used for patrolling were under-utilised, with Districts like Ratnagiri reporting just 8.47 per cent utilisation. The report added that the five coastal Districts had a manpower shortage of 40.02 per cent posts with the gap in deployment of technical staff for boat operations being 51.21 per cent. The highest shortfall of non-technical staff was highest at 65.85 per cent in Mumbai. This led to the state government hiring technical manpower on contract basis. "The desirability of engaging contract staff for such sensitive operations needs to be reassessed by the Government as it is fraught with certain obvious risks," the report said.

A confidential and thorough combing, in addition to security checks has been conducted along the coast of Palghar in Maharashtra, which adjoins the international waters of Pakistan, dnaindia.com reports on April 17. This examination was done after the Commissioner of the Government Railway Police (GRP) alerted the Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) of possible terror attacks, via the sea route in the city. A senior officer with Palghar Police requested anonymity, and said: "We have a one week posting in the sea, and will have to be in the waters to check suspicious activities. This comes after a terror alert to the ATS, and various agencies are involved in this operation." Calling the incident a confidential part of the coastal policing, Prashant Burde, Inspector General from Konkan range, said: "We have been always alert regarding coastal security, and therefore cannot disclose the details of the operation."

Cyber crimes witnessed a 69 per cent increase in 2014 with the maximum cases registered under the now-repealed Section 66A of Information Technology (IT) Act, according to 'Crime in India 2014' report published by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), according to Deccan Herald. Police registered 9,622 cases of cyber crime in 2014 as against 5,693 in 2013 with Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Karnataka together accounting for 48.18 per cent of the cases across the country, the report said.

India had prepared a list of 22 lapses in Pakistan's investigation into the November 26, 2008 (26/11) terror attack in Mumbai (Maharashtra), and would have confronted Pakistan's National Security Advisor (NSA) Sartaj Aziz with it had the talks gone ahead as scheduled, Mumbai Mirror reports on August 27. The dossier says a lot of evidence was ignored and many were kept out of the investigations. The Indian government claims the conspiracy to attack Mumbai was hatched way back in 2005, while Pakistan has only investigated the 2007-2008 period. "They could have examined (David) Headley's wife Faiza Qutalah to get evidence against (Hafiz) Saeed," the dossier says. Qutalah, Headley's third wife whom he divorced just after the attacks, claims to have met Hafiz Saeed and was the first one to depose before the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The dossier again raises the question as to why the roles of Pakistani Army officers Major Iqbal and Major Sameer were not investigated. "It appears the FIA [Federal Investigation Agency] has investigated the Karachi part of the conspiracy whereas the beginning of the conspiracy, training, motivation etc which took place at Muzaffarabad, Muridke and Lahore has not been thoroughly covered," the dossier says. Importantly, the dossier claims Pakistani authorities have completely omitted investigations into the role of trainers including Abdul Rehman Makki, a Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) operative in-charge of training. Makki is Saeed's brother-in-law. "The role of ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] has been conveniently left out," the Indian dossier says. The dossier also raises questions into the role and whereabouts of those who facilitated the Mumbai attack by arranging for logistic support from Lahore to Karachi. The temporary Control Room in Karachi has also not been looked into, Indian authorities claim. The interrogation of attack mastermind Zaki-Ur-Rehman Lakhvi was also perfunctory, the dossier says, and exhaustive details of accomplices and associates were never sought. The list of suspects supplied by India was ignored and sources of the arms and explosives used in the attack haven't been disclosed. The India also complains that the investigations have been indifferent about Headley's activities in Pakistan. "Headley was intermittently given fake Indian currency by Major Iqbal for use in India. This aspect has not been covered by FIA," the dossier says.

The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) investigating the Yavatmal case (Yavatmal District of Maharashtra) in which a 20-year-old youth allegedly stabbed a Police constable to “avenge beef ban” is probing if the arrested accused was a member of the newly-floated ‘electronic warfare technology group’ of the banned outfit, the Student Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports The Indian Express on October 23. Officials claim that the group was formed to facilitate creating an Indian wing “on the lines of al Qaeda”. Accused Abdul Malik is learnt to have told the ATS that he had been in touch with Shah Mudassir alias Talha (25), a businessman from Omerkhed in Maharashtra, and Shoeb Ahmed Khan alias Pusad Shoeb alias Tariq Bhai (24) of Hingoli District in Maharashtra. The two were arrested by the Hyderabad Police in October 2014. According to the Police, Malik, who might have been radicalised by the same “handler” or some other person who was in charge of the Maharashtra operations, had stabbed the constable to lodge his protest against the beef ban imposed by the State Government on September 25.

In a major development in the probe against Islamic State (IS) militant Areeb Majeed, investigators have identified the person who facilitated the travel of the Kalyan-based youth to Iraq after he was convinced to join the terror group, reports The Times of India on October 30. Presently on the run, the suspect, Abu Bakr Siddiqui, reportedly a resident of Kalyan itself, had arranged Majeed's passport and other travel documents to go with Fahad Shaikh, Shaheem Tanki and Aman Tandel to Iraq on the intervening night of May 24 and 25 2014, disguising them as pilgrims. Majeed was deported from Turkey in November 2014 while Tanki is said to have been killed in an airstrike in Iraq. Sources said that Abu Bakr Siddiqui was approached by Afghani businessman Rehman Daulati to arrange the travel of Majeed and others

The Mumbai Police is keeping close tabs on 25 websites that propagate incendiary Jihadi propaganda at the behest of terror group Islamic State (IS), classifying one as ‘extremely dangerous’, Hindustan Times reports on December 2. A source in the Mumbai Police said a majority of the sites were identified during sustained surveillance by the department’s Social Media Lab over the past three-four months, while others were brought to their attention by ethical hackers specialising in hacking such propaganda sites. “The sites were identified from among 50 such propaganda sites during our routine scouting,” a source said, adding that frequent hits to these URLs (links) by users from Mumbai and elsewhere had first raised suspicion. An analysis of the sites revealed that Arabic content in most of them was written using Roman script (English), ostensibly to dodge the filter used by enforcement agencies to monitor Jihadi propaganda literature. Some sites also used the Indonesian dialect, again in Roman script. All 25 websites, barring a few exceptions, are affiliated to the IS and being used to propagate the terror group’s ideology. “While some of the sites contain videos of preachers appealing to the youth to join the terror group’s fold, others contain plain literature aimed at enticing young men towards the Jihadi ideology,” a source said, adding that most of the sites were interactive to keep the recruitment channel open.

The arrest of a 20-year-old youth who had attacked a police constable to protest against the beef ban in Maharashtra has led to a terror module-in-the making being crippled, claims the state anti-terrorism squad (ATS), reports Times of India on December 8. Six youths in the module in Yavatmal district had been brainwashed to join the Islamic State (IS). At least three arrests in the state have broken its back, believe the ATS, which is looking at it as a breakthrough since most known SIMI and Indian Mujahidden leaders have been arrested and their terror cells smashed.

Three youth, Ayaz Sultan (23), Mohsin Sheikh (26) and Wajid Sheikh (25) who have been reported to be missing from Malwani area in Mumbai District, may have joined Islamic State (IS), suspect the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), dnaindia.com reports on December 21. The latest development comes days after the ATS questioned a Pune-based 16-year-old Muslim girl, who was reportedly radicalised by her IS contacts abroad and brain-washed to go to Syria. According to a report the trio had left from home on different dates in the last two months citing various reasons, however they have not returned since then. The ATS also suspect that Ayaz, who left home on October 30, has already left the country. Ayaz was working in a call centre in Malad. However, there are no leads yet about Wajid and Mohsin. Both of them had left their home on December 16. Wajid, a graduate, was running the family’s wholesale business in lemons, while Mohsin was driving auto.

A section of local bloggers and frequent social media chatters in Nagpur (Maharashtra) are learnt to be under scanner of the security agencies for spreading radical ideologies of terror outfits like Islamic State (IS) and the likes, The Times of India reports on December 28. Though senior officers are not revealing the exercise, sources said some chatters openly express their intention to join jihad (holy war) in and outside India while interacting in the public forum. There are also groups on the social media who vociferously express their anti-national sentiments. "Evidence is being gathered before swooping down on some suspects. There is a very thin line between ideological discussion and crime of waging war against the state," said the officer. It is also learnt that security agencies may also start flushing out illegal Bangladeshi immigrants who work as menial labourers at construction sites, bakeries, hotels, eateries, factories and such places. Though mostly they are economic migrants, security agencies feel some among them pose a threat by bringing in Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) and even some dangerous materials on behalf of the jihadis targeting India.

An Afghan businessman is believed to be allegedly indoctrinating youth from Maharashtra to join Islamic State (IS), claims National Investigation Agency (NIA) which has sent its first judicial requests in the case to Afghanistan seeking details of the person, New Indian Express reports on December 30. The Afghan national, whose name has been withheld, was running business of dry fruits in India and allegedly approached the four youths from Kalyan area neighbouring Mumbai and brainwashed them to join ranks of IS, official sources said. The man had mysteriously disappeared after NIA arrested Areeb Majeed when he was deported from Turkey to India last November. The port of exit of the Afghan national was found out to be from Delhi in December last year, the sources said. Majeed was arrested by NIA upon his return from Iraq and booked under sections 16, 18 and 20 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and Section 125 of the Indian Penal Code(IPC).
