The Maldives Police on January 7 launched an investigation into hate speech and death threats after a public chat channel started branding individuals as apostates, reports Maldives Independent.The ‘Murtad Watch’ (Apostate Watch) on Telegram identified and posted information about people who spoke out against an island magistrate court sentencing a woman to death by stoning earlier this week.“We have observed a string of hate speech and threats ensuing from recent conversations on some social media platforms,” Police tweeted. “While we investigate these, we urge both sides of the conversation to refrain from making derogatory remarks, especially threats to persons”.In April 2017, liberal blogger Yameen Rasheed was killed by a radicalised group of young men who believed he was guilty of blasphemy and insulting Islam, according to Police. The ‘Apostate Watch’ channel was created in November 2018 but became active on January 7, 2019 It had 121 subscribers as of January 8 evening.With a bullseye as its icon, the channel has posted screenshots of tweets criticising the death sentence along with names and photos of individuals and organisations deemed “apostates” and “enemies of Islam.”“The ruling upon such a person is the same ruling as upon any apostate: their blood wealth and honour are Halal, they are not to be greeted, they are not to be prayed behind or upon, their marriages are dissolved, they cannot inherit from or be inherited by a Muslim and they cannot be buried with the Muslims. A legitimate Islamic authority must also apply the Hadd upon such people,” reads a message posted on the channel.

At least three people have been questioned in an investigation launched by Maldives Police into hate speech and death threats after a public chat channel started branding individuals as apostates, reports Maldives Independent on January 14. Sheikh Ali Zaid was questioned on January 13 evening after Aishath Aniya, a host on Minivan Radio, and Siruhaan Mohamed, an online campaigner for strict Islamic sharia, were summoned to the Police headquarters during the past week. Aniya said that she has been targeted by extremists online after she tweeted a photo of the King Salman Mosque under construction in Malé and complained about the ‘ugly structure’ blocking her view of the airport. The January 2 tweet prompted criticism from renowned local clerics who implied that Aniya was “laadheenee” (irreligious or secular). In a policy paper published last April (2018) under the previous administration, the Islamic ministry listed apostasy and openly mocking Islam as some of the biggest challenges facing the country and recommended expulsion from Maldivian society, financial penalties, and even a prison sentence. In 2010, self-declared apostate Mohamed Nazim publicly repented and reverted back to Islam after government counselling when religious groups called for his death.

In the worst ever terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir, at least 44 Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel were killed and around two dozen were injured in a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) attack carried out by suspected Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) militant at Lethpora area on Srinagar-Jammu National Highway (NH-44) in Pulwama District on February 14, reports Daily Excelsior. A JeM Fidayeen (suicide attacker), identified as Adil Ahmad Dar alias Waqas Commando (Pulwama resident) rammed an explosive-laden car into the CRPF bus in a convoy near Lethpora in Pulwama District at around 3:15 pm leading to a huge blast in which 44 CRPF personnel were killed and around two dozen injured. The militant was also believed to be killed in the blast. The bus that was targeted belonged to 76th Batallion of CRPF and 44 personnel from 92, 17 and 54 battalions were travelling in it. Another CRPF truck was also blown in the blast and two more buses were damaged with the impact of the blast. Later, JeM claimed the responsibility for the attack. They also released the video of the Fidayeen (Adil Ahmad Dar), recorded before attack in which he said that he had joined “Fidayeen squad” of JeM last year (2018). He talks about attacks carried out by the JeM on troops, Parliament and hijacking of airliner. He also warned more attacks. An official at the spot said that, the militant was driving a vehicle packed with over 100 kg of explosives on the wrong side of the road and hit the bus, in which 39-44 personnel were travelling, head-on. “There are no survivors from the bus,” he said, adding that they were yet to ascertain exactly how many people were on the bus. “It was a large convoy and about 2,500 personnel were travelling in multiple vehicles. Some shots were also fired at the convoy,” CRPF DG R R Bhatnagar said. The attack comes two days after a local intelligence generated an input about possible Fidayeen attack on Security Forces (SFs) in Jammu and Kashmir. The input was generated after JeM issued a threat on social media of carrying out a major blast in the State. “The chatter inputs revealed that JeM outfit has hinted to carry out IED attacks along the routes of security forces across Jammu and Kashmir. A video uploaded by the outfit was also shared with all concerned. It is as such suggested that security forces need to be put on alert to thwart any such attempt by terrorists”, read the input that was shared with the SFs across Jammu and Kashmir. In the video that was uploaded along threat message showed a truck carrying troops in Somalia blown up in a power IED blast. In the message, the JeM had warned similar type of blast in Jammu and Kashmir. A senior security officer said that this is a major security lapse as the input about the possible attack was generated only 48 hours before. He said that the highway is highly guarded and there seems to be a lapse.

Government officials stated that over the years, there have been instances of Chinese agencies directly or indirectly providing assistance to militant groups of the Northeast, reports Assam Tribune on March 30.

India had alerted Sri-Lanka of possible terror hits at churches and preliminary findings suggest the slain suicide bomber and chief of the National TauheedJamathWhavanHashim alias ZahranHashim had attempted to carry out blast at the Indian embassy and at the US embassy earlier this month, reports Daily Pioneer on April 23. However, given the tight security at these two installations, the bomber decided to hit three luxury hotels and two major churches taking a toll of over 200 and injuring about 500 others. The National Tauheed Jamat is a breakaway faction of Sri Lanka TauheedJamat, branch of Tamil Nadu Tauheed Jamat under the scanner of the Intelligence agencies at least since 2016. Sources in the security agencies said the Indian embassy in Sri Lanka is heavily fortified and armed with anti-aircraft batteries of a Central paramilitary force and has put in place a tight security cordon and sophisticated access control paraphernalia. Hashim is said to have undergone treatment earlier for mental illness and wanted to become a social worker in 2011. However, Hashim joined religious groups like the Sri Lanka TauheedJamat and subsequently got in touch with the Islamic State (IS) especially those based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and went on to become the ‘chief’ of Khorasan Sri Lanka of IS. Hashim has a follower base of nearly 400 radicals and the attack on the churches could be a tactical ploy to deflect attention of the aggrieved Buddhists against the Muslims who are lesser in number in the island nation than the former, sources said. Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in Colombo might have provided facilitation for logistics supplies to Hashim through its terror proxies like the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba (LeT) and its humanitarian assistance arm Jamat-ud-Dawah (JuD) that has been presence in Sri Lanka since the 2005 tsunami. The JuD had purchased a number of orphans for the purpose of radicalization from Sri Lanka and other countries hit by tsunami.The terror targets which include three luxury hotels-Shangri La, Kingsbury and Cinnamon Grand-and St Anthony Church Zion Church and St Sebastian church were identified after the failed bids at the Indian and American missions in Colombo.

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on May 16 arrested one person in Ahmadabad in Gujarat while busting a network operating across India, China, Pakistan and Myanmar that had been engaged in smuggling high-end drones, reports The Hindu. Accusing the arrested person Chinmay Anand of being the network’s kingpin, the DRI also seized high-end drones and recovered other equipment that is normally used in espionage and surveillance. According to the DRI, the drones were supplied by Chinese companies, based on orders received from Pakistan-based firms, to a warehouse in Dehong, in China’s Yunnan province. From Dehong, which is located close to Myanmar’s eastern border, the drones were smuggled into Myanmar and from there to India. While all transportation up to Imphal was by various modes of road transport, the final leg from Imphal to Ahmedabad was done using domestic airlines by mis-declaring the prohibited cargo as camera stands, household goods, electronic items, etc. to elude detection by Indian agencies. The seized articles include 85 high-end drones of DJI Mavic, DJI Phantom and MI brands. Besides, 27 DJI Mavic Air Fly More Kit and 34 DJI Ronin S Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer for DSLR and mirror-less cameras used in film shootings were also recovered. The agency contended that the racket had been going on since 2017 and that drones worth10 crore had already been smuggled into and supplied in the country. “Illegal drones in private hands can pose a threat to national security as they can be used for espionage and sabotage purposes by the enemy states and anti-national and terrorist groups,” the DRI asserted.

Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres set ablaze two ‘jungle depots’, a road roller, blocking several internal roads, shutting markets, disrupting services of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) buses, and also pasted banners and posters about the ‘bandh’ on May 19, in Gadchiroli District of Maharashtra on May 19, reports The Times of India. The bandh had been called to protest the alleged ‘fake encounter’ killings of their Divisional Committee Member (DVCM) Ramko Narote and cadre Shilpa Dhurva on April 27 at Gundurwahi by C-60 commandos during an operation. In the banners and posters, the Maoists demanded clarification from the Police on the killings. Apart from Police, the Maoists also issued threats to the foresters, urging villagers to resist their work of cutting trees and bamboo, as “they are owned by the tribals”. The Maoists put up a number of banners in the early hours on May 19, throwing challenge to the Police stationed merely four kilometres away at Purada Police Station. The Maoists then headed towards the forest near Warbi (Chirpi), around seven kilometres away, where they set wood at the jungle depot on fire. The depot belonged to the Forest Labourers’ Co-operative Society, where wood from adjoining forests of Yedapar and Kurundi was collected. The Maoists blocked the road between Karamphata and Gurupalli in Etapalli taluka (revenue sub-division) by tying a banner across the road and also laying felled trees on the road. One side of the banner was tied to a vehicle which the Maoists had set ablaze some days ago. Police claimed this road blockade was later removed by villagers so vehicles could pass. Earlier in the morning, State Transport buses had returned to Etapalli depot from this place, but later resumed services till Alapalli. The Maoists later set ablaze a road roller at Gurupalli Road. The roller was engaged in road construction works. A jungle depot near Gurupalli was also set on fire. Maoist banners were also spotted at places in Bhamragarh taluka including at Kospundi phata near Tadgaon, Parlakota river bed and other places. The markets at different taluka places like Korchi in the north and south’s Etapalli, Alapalli and Bhamragarh remained shut.

Unhappy with the success of Government’s Police recruitment drives over the past five years in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh, the Maoists have reportedly detained the young boys and threatened them with dire consequences in case they decide to join forces, reports News18 on July 9. According to sources, senior Maoist ‘commanders’ have been seen in several Bastar villages and are reportedly profiling the youth who have applied for the posts in Police department and are being threatened with dire consequences in case they decide to join the Police Force. In one such input, Lakhma, a ‘commander’ of Local Organisational Squad (LOS) based in Usur tehsil (revenue unit), is said to have visited several villages in South Bastar's Bijapur District with at least 30 armed guerillas. "According to information available with us, he rounded up all the boys who have studied up to 12th standard and threatened them to stay away from the recruitment drives. Those who were found to have participated in these drives last year aren't being allowed to leave their villages," a source said. Locals in Bastar have repeatedly come forward to fight the Maoists as part of Police and paramilitary formations. The all-women Danteshwari Tigers is one such recent anti-Maoist formation that consists of 30 local women, some of who are surrendered Maoists. The force has already been part of many encounters in coordination with District Reserve Guards (DRG) and Special Task Force (STF) of the Police. Bastariya battalion is another such example where battalions consisting of local men have been trained by the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) to fight Naxals [Left Wing Extremists, LWEs], at the paramilitary's site in Ambikapur city in Surguja District of Chhattisgarh.

Two railway workers on duty were allegedly threatened by a couple of suspected Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres wielding weapons near Kadadaravalli in Sakleshpur Taluk (revenue sub-division) in Hassan District of Karnataka on July 15, reports The Hindu. Vijay and Raju, the two workers, were cleaning the Sakleshpur-Subrahmanya track when they encountered two persons walking on the track.

Nandini, Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP), said, “It is not clear who the men were. The railway staff could not identify the firearm they were carrying as it was dark. It may have been just some miscreants attempting to rob the staff. So far, movement of naxals has not been recorded in the district.”

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) on July 16 warned the State Government to immediately put a stop to what it called forcible eviction of tribals from forest land reports Telangana Today. In an unsigned statement, purportedly issued by Jagan, representative of the CPI-Maoist in Telangana, the group said the recent incident in Sarsala village in Asifabad District of Telangana was one such example of forcible eviction of tribals from forest land by the Forest Department. Instead of evicting poor tribals from the land they were tilling, the Government should take back large tracts of forest land occupied by political leaders over the years. If their call was not heeded to and the Government does not halt combing operations and searches by Security Forces (SFs), they would be forced to take action against Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leaders, the Left Wing Extremist (LWE) outfit said.

The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on July 31 warned people against playing loud music, polio vaccination and women going out without being accompanied by a man, saying people defying the warning will face consequences, reports Dawn. The one-page message in Urdu seen by people in Miranshah, the headquarters of North Waziristan District in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, cautioned the people: “We remind you [residents] that similar statements issued by Taliban several times in the past had fallen on deaf ears, but this time we are going to take to task those who violate the Taliban order.” The message further said: “There will be no use of DJs, neither inside the house nor in open fields and those ignoring the warning will be responsible for consequences”. Polio workers have been asked to do finger-marking of children during the vaccination campaign, but told not to administer polio drops to children or be ready to face dire consequences for defying the instruction. “Women shouldn’t go out of their homes alone as it is harmful for our society. There is one informer of Mujahideen in every three people and it was misconception on the part of the people to think we will not get information about non-compliance of our order. Follow the order or be ready to face worst consequences,” the message concluded.

In a bid to spread its drugs empire, Dawood Ibrahim's D-Company is learnt to have entered into a partnership with Afghan drug lord Haji Lal Jan Ishaqzai, Zee News reports on August 12. According to Indian intelligence agencies, D-Company has already established ground networks in Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Namibia and Ghana from where it hopes to carry out operations. With the increasing threat from drug traffickers, Indian security agencies have been working overtime to blunt the massive threat posed. D-Company, looking at generating capital through illegal - but lucrative - heroin trade, has taken the help of Ishaqzai to execute their nefarious plans of pumping narcotics in India and elsewhere. Indian intelligence agencies suspect that Dawood may have contacted Pakistan's Inter-State Services (ISI) to extend cover to Ishaqzai in return for his support in D-Company's drugs trade. Ishaqzai has contacts in Asia and Europe and it is this that may have already been exploited by D-Company. It is through this that D-Company may have also smuggled drugs into India via the Afghan-Pakistan route. It is suspected that drugs are hidden among or inside fruits which are then either smuggled into India via the Wagah-Attari border or through jute bags which are brought in via the sea route and into Gujarat and Mumbai.
