The terrorists who raided Pathankot air base may have entered India assisted by a drugs racket along both sides of the Indo-Pakistan border and the heavy arms and ammunition used by them could have been dispatched from the neighbouring country before they crossed the border, New Indian Express reports on January 4. Security agencies suspect that the terrorists crossed the International Border in Punjab through a "controlled operation" by a gang involved in the smuggling of narcotics, Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) and arms.The possibility of the involvement of some security personnel with the smuggling gang cannot be ruled out as there have been inputs in the past about some elements being linked to the establishment of the drugs racket, the sources said. A detailed probe and questioning of some people involved in the racket could unearth the conspiracy, they added.Speculation is rife that the heavy arms and ammunition used by the terrorists in the attack were sent over from Pakistan much before the terrorists crossed the International Border. There is a high probability that the arms were sent through the drugs racket and dumped at a designated spot from where the terrorists collected these after crossing the border through a route used by the smugglers, sources said.

Reformation faction of National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-R) has reportedly been recruiting drug addicts across the opium belt of Arunachal Pradesh to broaden its extortion empire, reports Morung Express on January 7. Officials in southern Arunachal Pradesh said NSCN-R has been recruiting drug addicts to control the state’s Longding, Tirap and Changlang Districts. Rebels of NSCN-K and Isak-Muivah faction of NSCN (NSCN-IM) were hitherto known to operate in these Districts that are strategic for movement to and from bases in Myanmar. “We had last month raided Kheti village in Tirap district on tip off that some rebels were carrying out recruitment and extortion drives there. They managed to escape but we recovered extortion notes and a list of the group’s cadres in the area,” a unnamed senior Police officer, said. Some names in the list were those of drug addicts and offenders, the Security Forces (SFs) found.Apart from Longding, Tirap and Changlang, Lohit and Anjaw Districts of southern Arunachal Pradesh are notorious for opium cultivation besides the availability of heroin and methamphetamine from the ‘Golden Triangle of Myanmar, Laos and Thailand. According to Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), Arunachal Pradesh topped the list of states in illegal poppy production for opium during 2014-15. Of the 2,530 acres of poppy crop that NCB destroyed during that fiscal, the state accounted for nearly 40%. NCB officials say the illegal poppy farms are guarded by armed militia who are known to work in coordination with rebels. Chief Minister Nabam Tuki admitted that checking opium cultivation was a major challenge.

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.

Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley at the 30th Special Session of the UN General Assembly on drugs problem, expressed concern over the growing global nexus between terrorism and the flow of illicit money from drug trafficking and cross-border crimes, while assuring India's total support in fighting these evils, Business Standard reports on April 20. He also informed the world at large that a South Asia Regional Intelligence and Coordination Centre with India's neighbouring countries as co-founders will come up soon to combat drug-related crimes in the region."The growing nexus of drug trafficking and terrorist networks endangers peace, security and stability across regions. We have to continue and toughen our collective fight against these evils," Jaitley stated."India is firmly committed to the three UN Conventions on drug matters…As supplier of licit opiate raw material to the world and traditional licit opium cultivator for centuries, India is fully conscious of its own responsibility to eradicate any illicit cultivation, reduce demand and put in preventive and enforcement measures", he added.The fiance minister, nevertheless, maintained that national efforts, however intense and sincere, can't deal with the drugs problem adequately and that bilateral, regional and global cooperation was essential in this area. The Saricc, or the South Asia Regional Intelligence and Coordination Centre, will have as members India, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Maldives. It will help these countries share intelligence, and coordinate operations against such crimes."Several steps are being taken for strengthening of supply and demand-reduction activities and treatment and after-care facilities through a public health approach," he said, adding India was committed to their availability for medical and scientific purposes. Jaitley said to make drugs and substitutes available for palliative care, pain relief and cancer patients, as also drug abuse victims, India has notified a uniform and simplified rules in May last year on essential narcotic drugs to remove regulatory barriers.He said three global treaties have served well in these aspects -- the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the Convention on Psychotropic Substances and the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances."The conventions provide sufficient flexibility to member states to fine-tune domestic laws so as to be commensurate with realities and challenges of 21st century. We strongly believe in the centrality of the three international drug control conventions."

The Border Security Force (BSF) recovered two kilograms heroin valued at INR 100 million in the international market, about 150 meters ahead of border fencing along the International Border (IB) in RS Pura sector on May 13, reports Daily Excelsior. Official sources said this was the first attempt of narcotics smuggling from across the border to this side during 2015 and 2016, which has been foiled by the BSF. The BSF troopers of 127 battalion along with sleuths of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and `G’ branch of BSF, conducted searches close to the IB at 12.30 pm on specific inputs and recovered two packets, weighing one kilogram each. “Area on Pakistan side of International Border, opposite the spot where narcotics packets were recovered, is covered with small Nullah and wild growth, which provide cover to the smugglers to reach to the IB,” sources said, adding that the smugglers might have thrown packets of narcotics to the Indian side to be picked up by the trans-border smugglers this side. However, before the smugglers could succeed in taking the consignment, the BSF and NCB recovered

The Special Cell of Delhi Police has seized four kilograms of heroin worth INR 16 crore in the international market and arrested three members of a drug cartel having links with Malda (West Bengal)-based drug suppliers on June 23, and their kingpin on June 26, reports Financial Express. The gang, whose members belonged to West Bengal, was under surveillance of the cell for the past four months and it was found that they were supplying the heroin to Bareilly and Delhi, DCP (Special Cell) Sanjeev Kumar Yadav said. On specific input, a team arrested two members of the gang — Ganesh Haldhar and Manik Biswas and a Bareilly based receiver Johri on June 23 near Gokalpuri flyover in northeast Delhi. Four kilograms of fine quality heroin was recovered from them, he said. During their interrogation, the trio revealed information about the kingpin of the gang, Samir Mallik, Yadav said. They also revealed that Mallik procured heroin from a drug supplier in Malda. A team of Special Cell travelled to West Bengal and carried out several raids and apprehended Mallik on June 26, he said.The heroin is brought from Malda District as there is large scale illegal cultivation of opium in the area surrounding Kaliachak, which was in news recently for widespread rioting allegedly by the drug mafia, he added. The riots in Malda were allegedly a well-planned conspiracy to destroy the records of drug mafia kept at the Kaliachak Police Station in the District, Yadav said. Malda District has emerged as an “epicenter” of illegal drug and counterfeit currency trade due to its strategic location along the international border, he said.

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.
