According to Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA), while those detained were being monitored for around six months, some communication and attempts to get firearms and IED material had “precipitated the matter.”Online monitoring of the group also revealed that some of them had plans of organising a terror training camp. Most of those held were allegedly in direct contact with former Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Shafi Armar, and there were “cross linkages” between members of the group. The UMHA, however, said there was no evidence so far to link the group directly to the Islamic State (IS). “This group was handled by someone going by the name Yousuf on the internet, who is suspected to be former Indian Mujahideen member Shafi Armar. We are not sure whether he is directly linked to the Islamic State or where he is located, as this is subject to investigation,” said UMHA spokesperson. Describing as “eclectic” the jehadi literature the group was influenced by, the spokesperson added, “At this stage, it is clear that these youth were radicalised, and their online handler was an exIM element.” “There is no connection to Delhi or evidence to suggest they were planning to target Delhi. A very preliminary assessment indicates that they may have been planning something in their own areas of residence,” the spokesperson said. In India, the alleged “organiser” or mobiliser of the group has been identified as Mutabbir Mushtaq Sheikh, who was arrested on January 22 from Mumbra on the outskirts of Mumbai. He allegedly received a sum of INR 6,00,000 online that is unaccounted for. “Online radicalisation has been on the radar of intelligence agencies for some time. As a part of that, the initial action taken was the arrest of some persons in Haridwar who were under scrutiny for online communication with some elements. They were planning to source explosives to set off blasts in a train, and were also thinking of doing something later in Harkipauri. Those detained today are a larger group connected to this group,” the spokesperson said.

The number of Indians who are believed to have joined Islamic State (IS) outfit now stands at 25, up from 17 in August, 2015, reports The Hindu. According to official sources, “Their preliminary interrogation shows that they wanted to increase the numbers of their followers here and organise attacks to establish a caliphate here". According to officials, the group being led by Mumbai resident Mudabbir Sheikh had at least one common handler, former member of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) Shafi Armar alias Yousuf, who now heads the AnsarulTawhid (AuT) which has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.Moreover, two men from Telangana, who recently left the country to fight alongside IS in Syria, were in close contact with at least four of the 14 terror suspects arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), a senior government official said. They were also part of the Hyderabad module and are said to be absconding and had acquired visa for Japan, the probe has revealed. "It is true that the Islamic State is trying to recruit at multiple levels in India. The present module was not under the radar of the State police but the Central intelligence agencies had been keeping a watch on them,” said an official.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) said that explosive material Triacetone triperoxide (TATP), used in recent Paris (November 13, 2015) and Brussels (March 22, 2016) attacks, was recovered from the basement of a house that belonged to Islamic State (IS) operative arrested on June 29, from Hyderabad, reports india.com. TATP was recovered from the Abdullah bin Ahmed Al Amoodi alias Fahad’s house in Hyderabad. NIA said that IS module leader Mohammed Ibrahim Yazdani alias Ibbu procured large amounts of acetone hydrogen peroxide and sulphuric acid, which are the main ingredients in TATP. The explosive have become popular among Al-Qaeda and IS the ingredients are easily available in medical and cosmetic stores.The IS module arrested from Hyderabad was preparing IEDs (Improvised Explosive Device) for commission of terror acts and were being guided by an online handler suspected to be based in Iraq/Syria. NIA recovered firearms, ammunition, precursor chemicals for making explosives, digital exhibits and INR 15,00,000 cash from the searched locations. NIA also seized two semi-automatic pistols with ammunition, an air gun with telescopic sight and shooting practice target boards, a large number of digital items including six laptops, about 40 mobile phones, 32 SIM cards, and a large number of hard disks, memory cards, pen drives, and digital tabs.New Indian Express adds that the operatives had plans to carry out terror strikes in various parts of the country after executing their nefarious designs in Hyderabad. They had tentatively planned to carry out multiple bomb blasts Hyderabad on Saturday (July 2) evening.Further, according to dailymail.uk, with the five arrests from Hyderabad, the number of IS recruits in custody has gone up to 54. Recent arrests and intelligence reviews show that the terror group is working on a franchise model, urging young Muslim youths to carry out local strikes. NIA says the rookies were in touch with a former Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative who is now part of IS, and were plotting terror strikes and communal clashes.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials on July 12 arrested two more youths, identified as Ataullah Rehman and Yasser Naimathullah on the charge of aiding and abetting the five suspects arrested earlier (on June 29 ) in connection with Islamic State’s (IS’s) module from Quba colony of Bandlaguda and Darogh Lane of Moghalpura in Hyderabad City, reports The Hindu. They were presented before the Special Court for NIA cases in Nampally in Hyderabad and remanded in judicial custody. The duo, according to the remand report, allegedly planned to carry out terror attacks and wage war against the Union of India. NIA sources said Rehman allegedly played a key role in bringing together members of the module. The conspiracy to detonate Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) at public places was part of his conspiracy, they said. “We have evidence to indicate that he had taken the initiative to radicalise members of the module and motivate them in joining the IS,” unnamed investigators said.

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.

A key IS planner from its External Operations division, known by his alias Abu Isa al Amriki, has been identified by the NIA as one of the main handlers who indoctrinated and recruited five Hyderabad men who conspired to form an IS-inspired module.Amriki will be named in the charge sheet on the Hyderabad module to be filed this month, as one of the handlers from the IS directed to recruit from India, senior NIA officials told. The NIA, in June, arrested five men – Ibrahim and Ilyas Yazdani, Habib Mohammad, Mohammad Irfan and Abdullah Bin Ahmad. They were carrying explosives and weapons for allegedly carrying out terror attacks in the name of IS.Amriki, believed to be an American citizen, was a Sudanese national and was also known as Abu Saad al Sudani. He was killed in an airstrike by US coalition forces on April 22, 2016 along with his wife Umm Isa al Amriki, an Australian national. Pentagon has also confirmed Amriki's role as a planner in the IS' external operations division, headed by Abu Mohammad al-Adnani mastermind behind the deadly attacks in France, the US, Belgium and Turkey."Forensic investigation on chat messages, emails, online communication and interrogation of the five suspects has revealed that they received instructions from IS operatives. Based on the IP addresses, the language in chat messages, conversations and accent, we have established that Amirki was one of the handlers. There is also a second handler based in Syria, who seems to be of Indian origin,'' asenior NIA officer said.Amriki is booked as a conspirator in the New York New Year's eve attack in 2015, wherein accused Emanuel L Lutchman, an American citizen from Rochester, New York, pleaded guilty of planning to carry out terrorist attack in the name of IS.The NIA officer said that the modus operandi followed by Amriki in recruiting Lutchman and the Hyderabad men online was strikingly similar. Amriki introduced himself as an IS member based in Syria and encouraged Ibrahim to travel to the Caliphate and join the IS.After the two failed attempts to travel to Syria via Greece and Turkey, Ibrahim came into contact with a second handler – an Urdu speaking IS fighter, whose leads were given by Amriki – in November. The second handler convinced Ibrahim that there was no need to travel to Syria and he should stay in India and continue to do his work (jihad). This included recruiting more members, setting up a module, procuring explosives and carrying out terror attacks.The five suspects also issued a bayah (pledge of allegiance) in the name of IS leader Abu Bakar al Baghdadi, signed and sent through email to the second handler. NIA says he is still active online and he is operating and responding from IS-controlled areas, possibly Aleppo or Raqqa.

The other four convicts are Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas from Pakistan, Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi from Uttar 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 Indian Penal Code (IPC), Explosives Substances Act and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (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 150 documents. The court reserved its judgment for November 21, and then posted it for December 13.In its first chargesheet, the NIA accused Yasin Bhatkal alias Mohammed Ahmed Siddibappa and Asadullah Akhtar of conspiring to plant bombs at two places. Akhtar and Bhatkal were arrested by the NIA on August 29, 2013, from the Nepal border in Bihar. Akhtar was also accused of smuggling explosives from Mangaluru to Hyderabad. The second chargesheet was filed after Zia-ur-Rehman and Tahaseen Akhtar were arrested in March 2014. The NIA said that Riyaz Bhatkal had sent the explosives and money to Mangaluru, where Asadullah and Rehman took the consignment from an unknown person. They brought it to Hyderabad, where they joined Tahaseen and prepared two IEDs using pressure cookers. According to the chargesheet, they conducted a test blast at Abdullahpurmet on the outskirts of Hyderabad. On February 21, 2013, they placed the two IEDs on the two bicycles — purchased by them on February 20, 2013 — and parked them at the busy Venkatadri and Konak theatres in Dilsukhnagar.

Six months after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) busted an Islamic State (ISIS) module in Hyderabad, the agency on December 22 filed a charge sheet against eight members including their leader Mohammad Ibrahim Yazdani, reports The Times of India. 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 Islamic Research Foundation (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 India)," says NIA chargesheet.

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 National Investigation Agency (NIA) said, reports The Hindustan Times on December 26. 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,” an NIA official said. The charge sheet said two handlers of the group - one of them is suspected to an Indian named Shafi Armar who is originally a native of Bhatkal (Karnataka) and a former member of terror outfit Indian Mujahideen (IM) - kept them informed about the latest tools to keep their communication secure. Armar moved to IS-held area in Syria two years back. The charge sheet said the group members had plans to target Policemen and Police Stations in Hyderabad and used navigation and map application ‘OsmAnd+’ to plot their targets. One of the group members, Muzaffar Hussain Rizwan was found with a digital document containing three Global Positioning System co-ordinates saved in it. These corresponded to Kamathipura, Afzalganj and Bahadurpura Police Stations in Hyderabad when plotted on the Google map, says the charge sheet. Rizwan, during interrogation, confirmed that he was tasked with surveying the Police Stations.These coordinates of the police stations were later sent to the IS handler in Syria using Pidgin application which allows users to log into multiple chat accounts simultaneously. For making Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls, the group was asked to use ‘Nymgo’ application. Besides, the group was also using ‘Chatsecure’ and ‘Trillian’, considered secure chat applications, and Tutanota email that provide end-to-end encryption. According to the NIA, the group was also planning to target religious places in Hyderabad to foment communal tension in the city.
