The National Investigation Agency (NIA) Special Court on January 22 dismissed the anticipatory bail petition of an accused in the Kasargod Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) case, reports New Indian Express. K M Balachandran, NIA Special Court judge, ordered that accused Mammunhi alias Muhamad Kunji cannot be granted anticipatory bail as there were serious offenses charged against him. “A very serious investigation has to be conducted with respect of the offences alleged. The investigation definitely would be hampered in case he is let free,” the court observed. Mammunhi is currently working in the UAE and is alleged to have involved in hawala (illegal money transfer) transactions. He is an accused in four cases registered for obtaining FICNs from various parts of Kasargod. In his petition, Mammunhi stated that an Investigation Officer had visited his house and intimidated his wife and family members. The NIA objected to the petition and submitted that he is operating from Dubai as a hawala agent and he was part of the conspiracy in distribution of FICNs. The case against him is charged under 489B, 489C, 420, 201, 120 B, 109 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

The 272-page chargesheet filed by National Investigation Agency (NIA) against Indian Mujahideen (IM) Indian operations ‘chief’ Yasin Bhatkal states, he asked Riyaz Bhatkal whether a "small nuclear bomb" could be arranged to nuke Surat (Gujarat), to which Riyaz replied "anything can be arranged in Pakistan", Indian TV reports on February 23.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) has established a new module in Rajasthan and operatives of the outfit were "highly motivated" to carry out terrorist activities in the country, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has said in its charge sheet filed in a Delhi court, IBNLive reports on February 24. "Investigation has also established the emergence of a new module of IM operatives in Rajasthan, the members of which were in regular contact with Riyaz Bhatkal and were highly motivated to carry out terrorist attacks," the NIA said. In addition, Delhi's Akshardham temple and Pune's cantonment area were on top of IM’s list of places to be targeted, the NIA has said in its charge-sheet against IM's India operations ‘chief’ Yasin Bhatkal and his three aides, reports The Times of India on February 25. According to data retrieved from the laptops recovered from Bhatkal and his aide Asadullah Akhtar, IM members were carrying out reconnaissance of these places, the charge-sheet said. "The files named as... are the photographs of Khirkee area in Pune (Army cantonment) which was sent by Riyaz Bhatkal to accused Asadullah Akhtar through internet in order to carry out a reconnaissance during the month of January/February 2012 while Waqas and he were staying in the hideout located at Loni, near Loni Medical college in Ahmednagar district in Maharashtra," the NIA said. It further said, "Files named as... are the photographs of Akshardham temple in Delhi. Investigation revealed that accused Md Ahmed Siddibapa (Yasin Bhatkal) went there for the purpose of recce. This established the design of the accused persons for conducting future attacks." Further, NIA has found forensic evidence that IM operatives received instructions on terror attacks from the mentors from across the border. With help from the Netherlands' instant messaging service provider Nimbuzz, the NIA has traced the chat ID of IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal, through which he passed on instructions to Yasin Bhatkal, to Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL). The chargesheet notes: "The login details from Nimbuzz, in respect of menothing1 and davidthapa77, were received from the providers. From the received details, the creation of IP of the account menothing1 was found to be 221.120.246.6, which belongs to Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited." The chargesheet directly accuses the Pakistan government of providing shelter to the absconding accused. It says, "The organisation is receiving financial and material assistance from the ISI backed by the Government of Pakistan which has sheltered several absconding operatives." The chat exchanges between IM operatives in India and Pakistan also reveal a sinister plan of IM to expand its footprints across the middle-east and Afghanistan and the outfit's growing ties with Taliban and al-Qaeda. In addition, Yasin Bhatkal was inspired by al Qaeda ‘chief’ Osama Bin Laden and used to motivate youngsters for sacrificing their lives in the name of 'jihad' through the videos of the slain terrorist, NIA has also said in its charge sheet. "He (Bhatkal) used to quote selected phrases from Islamic religious books in support of 'jihad'. He had downloaded from internet a number of documents which portrayed Jihad as an obligatory act of every Muslim. He had also downloaded lectures of Muslim leaders and fighters like Osama Bin laden, Al Yazeed, Al Zarkawi, C Khateeb, Awlaqi from internet. He made young Muslim boys watch these videos and read out these documents to them, so as to motivate them to sacrifice their lives in the name of jihad," NIA said, NIA also stated on February 24, that, Yasin Bhatkal was earlier arrested for theft in Kolkata (West Bengal) in 2009 but Kolkata Police did not know he was the terror mastermind. "Accused Md Ahmed Siddibapa (Bhatkal) visited Kolkata in 2009 along with one Qateel Siddiqui and stayed at the residence of one Humayun for the furtherance of the activities of the IM. He tried to build his network with the help of some Bangladeshi terror links and was arrested on suspicion in a case of theft by Kolkata Police," the NIA has said. During arrest, he identified himself with a fake name Mohammad Arshad, the chargesheet said.

NIA has said that “one IM operative Bada Sajid is fighting in Afghanistan-Pakistan border region” and “was also wounded in one of the skirmishes”. According to the chargesheet, the IM is now an al-Qaeda affiliate whose members are trained by the global terror network, and who have been instructed to focus on Myanmar and to “kidnap Jews in India”.The chargesheet says that at a meeting in Dubai five years ago, the IM leadership decided to cut ties with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), and join the al-Qaeda. “Investigations revealed that during the stay of the accused (Akhtar) in Dubai (in 2008-09), Iqbal Bhatkal was elected as the leader of Indian Mujahideen and it was decided to sever the association with ISI as soon as possible, and shift towards the Al Qaida, since everyone unanimously felt that the ISI was against the true Jihadi ideology,” says the chargesheet. According to the chargesheet, the IM has split into two groups, one of which is led by “Sajid Sheikh @ Bada Sajid, 27, of Azamgarh, UP”, and the other by “Iqbal and Riyaz Bhatkal”. The Times of India, added that IM terrorists had on their target some tourist spots, a royal train and some other places in the state, especially in western Rajasthan including Jodhpur, Barmer and Jaisalmer, sources said. The chargesheet reveals that the IM shifted the base from Bihar and other nearby states to Rajasthan after an intense crackdown on its Bihar unit by the cops probing the low intensity blasts that occurred during Narendra Modi's rally in Patna in October, 2013 and Bodh Gaya in July, 2013. The group allegedly plans to target foreign tourists and has conducted a recce in several places in Rajasthan apart from other places including Delhi, Mumbai and Maharashtra. After the IM's activities were found in the state, the Rajasthan ATS had intensified search for three IM terrorists, identified as Mohammed Taseen Akhtar, Haider Ali and Waqas alias Javed Mohammad on suspicion that they might target Israeli tourists who frequent some cities including Pushkar, Jodhpur and Jaisalmer. The chargesheet further stated that, splinter group of IM had plans to form a group called Tehreek-e-Taliban Hindustan, along the lines of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, Daily Mail reports on February 25.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) revealed that Kolkata (West Bengal) has been an important hub for the activities of Indian Mujahideen (IM), The Times of India reports on February 28. In his confession to NIA, IM operative Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi said that the American Center attack and the kidnapping of Khadim's boss in Kolkata (both in 2002) were part of a bigger plan. Haddi admitted before a magistrate in Miyapur, Andhra Pradesh, that in 1999-2000, Aftab Ansari started the IM (called Asif's Commando Force then) with Asif Rezza Khan, a resident of Kolkata, who died in an encounter in 2002. Haddi also said that his people attacked the American Center in Kolkata. Haddi added that he got arms training and learnt how to make explosives at a training camp conducted by Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI). "Haddi and Bhatkal had revealed that the 'Bihar module' was the first thing to come up under the leadership of Yasin Bhatkal and Mohammad Tariq Anjum Hasan. Kolkata acted as a base for this module. However, since this module was more ideologically inclined, other modules in Pune, Beed in Maharashtra and Azamgarh in UP, were in charge of executing terror attacks across the country till 2008. It was only when these modules were either eliminated or busted, that the IM fell back on its recruits from Samitipur-Darbhanga and Nalanda,'' according to sources. Further, the custody of IM India operations 'chief' Yasin Bhatkal and his aide Asadullah Akhtar, ends on February 28 (today), reports Zee News. According to the Mumbai Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS), Bhatkal played a very important role in procuring explosives and making Improvised Explosive Device (IED) used in 2011 Mumbai terror attack. IM was keen on 26/11 suicide attack, targeting Police and politicians, instead of planting bombs and running away, The Times of India reports on February 28. IM operative Mirza Shadab Baig and Asadullah Akhtar had discussed that bomb explosions killing common people had little impact as the government moved on after paying compensation to victims. According to the chargesheet filed by NIA, Riyaz Bhatkal and Yasin Bhatkal were particularly impressed with what Maoists had achieved in Darbha, Chhattisgarh where a Congress cavalcade was ambushed killing 27 people, including the party's top leaders. They had discussed that IM, too, should do something similar that would shake the government. With such a plan in mind, Yasin's associate Asadullah Akhtar was trying to procure explosives and guns. He believed that it was time for the outfit to move towards suicide attack. Further, the chargesheet stated that every article needed to make a bomb is easily available in Delhi. "Irshad Khan (Yasin's father-in-law) pointed out the chemical shops, scientific store, buffing shop, tool shop, metal shop, welding workshop and dye shop from where he and Yasin Bhatkal procured chemicals/tools/metal/instruments/dyes etc," it states. All the shops are located in central Delhi's wholesale hubs, such as Esplanade Road, Pai Walan, Jama Masjid, Tilak Bazar, Hauz Qazi, Ajmeri Gate, Sitaram Bazar, Anand Parbat and Lajpat Rai Market. Although there are strict guidelines for the sale of chemical material in Delhi, the IM terrorists found ways to get around them. The chargesheet also states the names of the 16 important IM operatives who are wanted by Delhi Police in various cases. They are: Iqbal Bhatkal, Riyaz Bhatkal, Amir Raza Khan, Mohseen Chaudhary, Waqas, Tehsin alias Monu, Danish, Mohammad Ismail, Mohammad Zasim, Abdul Kadir, Afif, Khalil, Anwar, Sabir, Salim and Abdul Moik.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) made attempts to spread communal hatred across India, according to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) chargesheet filed against IM 'India operations cheif' Yasin Bhatkal, The Times of India reports on March 7. The charge-sheet said that "investigation has established that in pursuance of the conspiracy, the operatives of IM have been making attempts to foment communal tension in different parts of India". Investigation by NIA found that during the June 2012 conflict in Assam, IM contributed to the flare-up by spreading text messages and online posts falsely claiming atrocities against Muslims. The outfit also spread text messages of hatred against the northeast community in Bangalore (Karnataka) which resulted in several students from the region being attacked. This operation was led by a new head of the outfit suspected to be in Pakistan. The charge-sheet details a chat between Bhatkal and his associate Afeef Mota (in Pakistan) on July 12, 2013 which talks about a certain member of the outfit having participated in spreading fake news about atrocities against Muslims at the hands of northeastern people. The charge-sheet said, "Yasin asked whether their new head had participated in any jihadi operation in India. It was revealed that he had sent SMSs to create panic in northeast region, people staying in Bangalore and other southern states and planned to create violence between groups in India by fake SMSs to avenge the assassination of some Rohingya Muslims."

A chargesheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has claimed that Indian Mujahideen (IM) had attempted putting in place a local module on the border of Jodhpur-Nagaur Districts in 2013, reported Hindustan Times on March 10. IM’s cadre Mohammad Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu had visited Jaipur and Jodhpur in June 2013 and had procured SIM cards on fake documents. The NIA chargesheet hinted that IM was planning to expand its base in Rajasthan. “There are vital clues that efforts were made to set up a module in Jodhpur and its surroundings areas. Akhtar alias Monu was assigned this job along with Waqas a native of Pakistan,” an unnamed Anti-Terrorism squad (ATS) official said. “Akhtar visited Jodhpur and Jaipur but there is no confirmation about formation of such module. It may be because efforts could not materialise after Bhatkal’s arrest”, said a senior official of Rajasthan ATS seeking anonymity. According to ATS sources, Akhtar and Waqas were close confidants of Bhatkal and were trained in Pakistan to carry out terror activities. After Bhatkal’s arrest the NIA alerted the ATS following which posters of Akhtar, Waqas, and Haidar Ali alias Abdullah were pasted at all public places across the State.

The Supreme Court on May 2 refused to issue any further direction to the tribunal constituted to examine the ban on the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) for the seventh time, reports Deccan Herald. A bench of Chief Justice R M Lodha and Justice Kurian Joseph said the SC order on the functioning of the tribunal under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act was crystal clear and so it did not need to issue any more directives.

The court, however, said there was no need for any interim direction and posted the matter for final hearing on August 12 before a three-judge bench that previously took up similar matters.

The Supreme Court on May 16 acquitted all six convicts, three of whom were awarded death sentence and one life imprisonment, in the 2002 terror attack on Gujarat's Akshardham temple, reports The Times of India. It said the evidence was not enough to uphold conviction of the accused. Adam Ajmeri, Shan Miya alias Chand Khan and Mufti Abdul Qyyum Mansuri were awarded death sentence by a Prevention of Terrorism Activities (POTA) court in July 2006 which the High Court had confirmed in 2010. Other three accused Mohammed Salim Shaikh, Abdulmiyan Qadri and Altaf Hussain were sentenced to various prison terms. A bench of Justices A K Patnaik and V Gopala Gowda acquitted all six, who were concurrently convicted by the trial court and the Gujarat High Court, and slammed the investigating agency for shoddy investigation and the Gujarat government for not applying its mind before slapping the now extinct POTA Act. The bench also said the sanction for prosecution under POTA was mechanical and reflected lack of application of mind, hence void. It also said the confessional statements of accused were recorded without following the due procedure prescribed under POTA making them untenable as evidence.

On June 13, Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate in Mumbai (Maharashtra) granted the Mumbai Police permission to collect the DNA samples of Dawood Ibrahim's aide Muzzakir Muddassar alias Munna Jhingada's family members, reports The Times of India. However, the court also said that the Police cannot use blood samples of Jhingada's family members as evidence in the case of deporting him from Thailand. Police said that the order will help them prove that Jhingada is Indian national and very much a criminal from Mumbai who fled away in 2000. Earlier, in 2012, the Thai authorities assured India to hand Jhingada but Pakistan authorities too had claimed his custody saying Jhingada was a Pakistani National. He was arrested by the Thai Police on charges of attempt to kill fugitive gangster Chhota Rajan in 2000. Jhingada, with associates Rashid Malbari and Gurpeet Singh Bullar, was arrested and he was sent to jail for eight years.

On June 14, the Ahmedabad (Gujarat) Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) filed the charge sheet against Maulana Abdul Qavi in connection with the 2003 Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Conspiracy case, implicating him under various sections of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) and Arms Act, among others, before a special POTA court, according to Indian Express. Qavi has also been booked for conspiring “war against the government”. Earlier on June 12, the home department gave its sanction to file the charge sheet against Kavi under POTA. The case dates back to 2003, but the judgment was pronounced in 2010. The POTA court has proclaimed Qavi as an offender, along with other proclaimed offenders, such as Dawood Ibrahim, Chhota Shakeel, Mufti Sufiyan Ahmedmiya Patangiya and 20 others, who are still absconding. The chargesheet claims that Kavi was in touch with Sufiyan and another gangster, Rasool Party, who are also accused of masterminding the killing of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Haren Pandya in 2003. According to DCB officials, Rasool had met Qavi in Hyderabad. There were a total of 44 accused who were tried by the POTA court. Out of them, 22 were convicted. The DCB claimed that a conspiracy was hatched by the accused to carry out terror activities in the state under the “leadership, guidance, inducement, inspiration and financial aid of a rich person, whose name has not been known, and by using the network of Dawood Ibrahim’s gang in Pakistan and the ISI, with a view to take revenge of the loss caused to Muslims during the 2002 communal riots in Gujarat. For this purpose, youth from Gujarat and Hyderabad were sent to Pakistan via Bangladesh and Nepal, it said. They were reportedly trained in handling weapons, making bombs, among others, in 2002. In 2003, the conspiracy was busted by the DCB.

But it was rejected on the apprehension that he would re-engage in terrorist activities on release. The respondents also informed that the accused, undergoing 55 years of consecutive imprisonment, might jump the parole and go into hiding. The petitioner challenged this decision through counsel Mir Nagman Ali who contended that earlier also, he was released on parole and he returned before it ended, without indulging in any criminal activity. A division bench comprising Justices Bhushan Dharmadhikari and Chandrakant Bhadang then issued notices to the Amravati commissioner and superintendent before releasing him on parole.

A special court judge has ruled that the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) cannot be applied to acts of terror as terrorist activities are not aimed at generating any monetary gains as defined under MCOCA, Mumbai Mirror reports on August 21. Special MCOCA court judge A L Pansare, while dropping the 'organized crime syndicate' charge against eight accused in the August 2012 Jungali Maharaj blasts case of August 1, 2012, said a person cannot be identified as offender under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and the MCOCA simultaneously. Differentiating between UAPA and MCOCA, Judge Pansare noted that under former the emphasis is on the crime and benefits, mainly monetary, while the latter essentially deals with terrorist organisations and its activities. While the accused will continue to be tried under UAPA, the prosecution cases will be weakened considerably as confessions under MCOCA will be rendered useless. "The main reason for applying MCOCA in terror cases was the provision of recording confessional statements that is absent in UAPA. A lot of convictions in terror cases have been based on these confessions," advocate Sharif Sheikh, who represents several accused in Mumbai in terror cases, said. "MCOCA and UAPA operate under different fields and the ambit and scope of each is distinct from the other. The present case (Jungli Maharaj Road blasts) being the case of a serial bomb blasts, the same will attract the provisions of only UAPA," the judge said.

The Delhi Police charge sheet stated that the three engineering students, Mohammad Maroof alias Ibrahim, Waqar and Mehrajudeen who were arrested from Jaipur for allegedly being Indian Mujahideen (IM) members in March, 2014 have been accused of helping IM operatives Tehsin Akhtar and Zia-ur-Rahman in setting up an illegal arms factory in Meet Vihar area of Delhi from where a huge quantity of arms and ammunition were seized, reports The Times of India on August 22. Delhi Police also claim that temples of Bharatpur in Rajasthan including Ganga Mandir and Laxman Mandir were on the target of these three students and others. The chargesheet reveals how three engineering students were putting together bombs using Magnesium Sulfate, acetone and other things which were recovered from their rented accommodation in the city. The charge sheet further added that there is a growing rift between IM and Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports Hindustan Times. The rift has been caused by differences in ideology and custody of certain members. According to the Police, differences between the two banned organizations arose in the beginning of 2013 when Tehsin Akhtar was told by SIMI operative Haider that his seniors have asked him to stay away from all IM operatives. The charge sheet also reveals that IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal was keen to forge an alliance with SIMI. However, SIMI leaders had ideological differences with IM which included its association with Pakistani intelligence agency ISI. The cleft between the two terror modules grew further when Tehsin stayed with SIMI’s Imtiyaz Alam, a prime suspect in the Bodh Gaya blasts (July 7, 2013), for a while.

Nearly six months after neutralising an alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) network in Rajasthan, the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) will file chargesheet this week against the IM suspects arrested from Jaipur and Jodhpur, reports The Times of India on September 17. Under the Prevention of Unlawful Activities Act and Section 121A of IPC (waging war against nation), the State Government provides prosecution sanction but the ATS waited for almost two months to get the prosecution section. It had to move the courts in Jaipur and Jodhpur twice seeking extension of the deadline twice during this period. A Jaipur court gave the ATS two more months after the agency failed to file chargesheet against alleged IM members based in Rajasthan within 90 days of their arrest. The police have to file chargesheet in this period after making an arrest but the ATS failed to conclude the investigation as two top IM operatives, Monu alias Tahseen and Pakistani national Zia-ur-Rehman alias Waqas could not be brought here on production warrant from Delhi. After that the court gave one more month's extension when the ATS again failed to file chargesheet last month. The deadline for filing chargesheet is now September 19. If ATS fails to file it by this date, the suspects have a solid ground to get bail, legal experts said.
