A week into the Malda violence, Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials on January 11 admitted that the West Bengal District remains a ‘difficult area’ for the agency to work in, reports Daily Mail. “It is true that Malda has been a difficult area in terms of its communal aspect and the territorial reason. It is a sensitive belt…There is a lot of work to be done,” NCB Deputy Director General (eastern zone) SK Sahu stated. Sahu said that since the money flow is high, the crime rate is also alarming in that region. “We do carry out sensitisation drives involving the state government and central agencies and constantly coordinate with them. We involve local panchayats (village councils) and include the local population into the economic process so that they don’t indulge in such illegal drug business,” he said.

The Malda (West Bengal) District administration has begun a drive to destroy the extensive poppy cultivation in the District, as stated by senior officials of Excise Department on January 13, reports The Hindu. Senior officials said that poppy cultivated on nearly 500 acres had been destroyed in Kaliachak and adjoining areas over the past one week. “The drive started on January 5 and till today evening (January 13), 1,500 bighas (495 acres) of poppy cultivation has been destroyed in a joint operation where the police, BSF and excise department are involved,” the official said.Other than poppy cultivation, smuggling of Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) is also a major concern for law enforcement authorities in the District which shares a border with Bangladesh. FICN amounting approximately INR 30 million were seized in the District in 2015 and 105 cases were registered. Also, 187 cases of possessing illegal arms were registered in Malda in 2015.

The Border Security Force (BSF) in association with West Bengal Excise Department, Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) have begun destruction of poppy being cultivated close to the Indo-Bangladesh border in Kaliachak area of Malda District, The Times of India reports on January 16. Kaliachak is considered a major production centre for opium and a hub of cross-border smuggling. While narcotics are trafficked across the border to Bangladesh, Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) is received in return. This FICN is circulated from Kaliachak to the rest of the country."We are conducting a drive to destroy poppy plants in the Sahabajpur Mouza that is close to the international border. Apart from BSF personnel, Excise Department staff and officers from the local Police Station are involved in this activity. So far, we have succeeded in destroying poppy plants on 1,450 bighas of land. We are using tractors and other far equipment to detroy the plants. Security personnel have been deployed to prevent any law and order situation," a senior BSF officer said on January 16.The poppy, cultivated in the border areas of Golapganj, Sahabajpur and Sasani Parbadyanathpur is converted into Opium, Brown Sugar and Heroin. The poppy crop is sown in November-December and harveted in February-March. "We started our operations from January 8. We suspect that local criminals were aware that we would launch this drive and made an attempt to thwart us by engaging in violence on January 3. However, this ploy did not work and all state and central agencies have come together to destroy the crop. In 2015, we had destroyed poppy being cultivated on nearly 5,573 bighas in Kaliachak and neighbouring parts," the officer added.

A middleman, Abdul Baqi Mondal linked to various Pakistan-based terror outfits including Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) and Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) was arrested by Police from the Indo-Bangladesh border near Basirhat in North 24-Parganas District, on July 17, reports The Times of India. Mondal, who was in 2005 arrested and jailed for sheltering six JeM terrorists who had been subsequently killed during an attack on the Ayodhya shrine, marks a breakthrough in the infiltration racket.Mondal was hiding in Matia, a border village, when Basirhat Policeaccompanied by a special team raided it following a tip-off. Apart from arresting Mondal, the cops also confiscated 30 kilogram of marijuana from the hideout. Though cops said they were probing his involvement in smuggling, it is the infiltration racket that is being investigated. Sources said the police are trying to ascertain if Mondal helped any of the terrorists involved in the restaurant attack in Dhaka's Gulshan area. According to the investigators, Mondal's name had cropped up time and again while they were following the leads on infiltration.Superintendant of Police (SP) Bhaskar Mukherjee said Mondal, a resident of Gachha, Sardarpara in Basirhat, had been found to be active in the belt after he secured a bail from the Delhi High Court (HC) in the Ayodhya blast case. He had spent seven years in Tihar jail before being released. "The probe linked Mondal to the infiltration racket. We had information that he hid in the Basirhat area and organized raids on Saturday night. He was apprehended from a border village," he said.

Illicit poppy cultivation in the border districts of West Bengal and smuggling of the contraband across the border to Bangladesh and elsewhere are worrying intelligence authorities because it has turned out to be among the principal sources of funds for terror outfits like the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Indian Express reports on July 28. CID sources stated that the strategic position of these districts facilitated rise in illegal cultivation of poppy, which “has become a major fund generating business drawing several hundreds of youths into it”. Apart from Malda District’s Ratua, Kaliachak and Baishnabnagar, poppy is also allegedly secretly grown at Nowada and Beldanga in Murshidabad District besides Dubrajpur, Ilambazar and Kankartala in Birbhum District.Such cultivation was also found in Patrasayar, Indas, Onda and Barjora in Bankura District and Ketugram, Mangolkote, Kaksa, Purbasthali, Katwa, Galsi and Laodaha in Bardhaman District, the sources said. “Much evidence is there that the money earned from this cultivation goes to the terror groups through different channels including hawala(illegal money transaction). The money might have also gone to suspected ISIS [IS] agents through JMB,” the source said.“A large number of locals, mainly youth, are involved in cultivating it mostly in areas which are not frequented by locals,” the source added. The District administration with the assistance of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), local Police and the BSF had destroyed 4,000 acres of poppy crop last year, whereas around 1,000 acres have been destroyed this year so far, police sources said. According to a NCB report compiled in 2011-2012, the agency had destroyed poppy crops cultivated in around 714 acres of land in the state, out of which 711 acres lay in the Malda District while the other three were in Hooghly and Bardhaman districts. “It must be mentioned that the illicit cultivation of poppy is spread over Malda’s Kaliachak and Baishnabnagar and these are the areas where the fake Indian currency notes (FICN) cartels are also tracked,” he said, adding that in the last couple of years several raids and arrests had been made in Kaliachak.“On smuggling drugs across the border to Bangladesh one receives fake currency in return… It’s actually over the years that Malda has become a major transit of FICN,” he said citing a National Investigation Agency (NIA) 2012 report.
