According to the Police officials, four suspected operatives of Indian Mujahideen (IM) arrested recently were part of a terror module that was used to procure, fabricate and deliver deadly explosives, reports The Times of India on January 13. A top Police official said that the IM operatives transferred money through Hawala channels for funding and at least one of them attended meetings in a foreign country, where a conspiracy was hatched to manufacture and deliver deadly explosives which were probably used for blasts in different parts of the country. Bengaluru Police commissioner M N Reddi said that "I would say that a picture is emerging based on the interrogation that we have done. This was a module that was used by the IM as well as the other terrorist organisations to procure, fabricate, supply and deliver deadly explosives." However, Reddi added that there was nothing so far to link the arrested persons with the December 28, 2014 Bengaluru blast that claimed the life of a woman. One of the arrested IM operative, Syed Ismail Afaque was the man who assembled and supplied two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used in the Dilsukhnagar bomb blasts in February 21, 2013 (Hyderabad), reports The New Indian Express on January 13. Top sources confirmed that Afaque, during joint interrogation by the Karnataka Police and the National Investigation Agency (NIA), reportedly confessed that he had designed the IEDs and supplied them to other accused who planted them at Dilsukhnagar and executed the blasts. Sources said that “On instructions of his Pakistan-based handlers, particularly Riyaz Bhatkal, the most-wanted terrorist, Afaque purchased the material for the explosives from Manguluru, assembled them and supplied it to other accused who triggered the blasts.” Afaque will be brought to Hyderabad to be produced in the court in connection with the Dilsukhnagar blasts after which NIA is likely to seek his custody to elicit more information about the blasts.

Investigation into suspected terror funding and hawala (illegal money transfer) operations of the infamous 'D' company has been launched with the Enforcement Directorate (ED) bringing under its scanner a INR 30 billion global money laundering ring allegedly involving family members and associates of late Iqbal Mirchi- who was a right-hand man of fugitive Pakistan-based don Dawood Ibrahim, oneindia.com reports on April 19. The suspects, some of whom have been accused in the 1993 Mumbai blasts and others who have been active associates of Iqbal Mirchi in his underworld acts, have perpetrated hawala and money laundering. ED has issued over a dozen notices to two sons and the widow of Mirchi, his relatives, their constituted attorneys and business associates even as it has written to the Mumbai Police Crime Branch, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Maharashtra land records authorities seeking their cooperation in a criminal probe that involves about 50 tainted assets in over 10 countries, a clutch of about 40 firms in the country and abroad and a maze of at least 20 bank accounts in India and some private banks overseas. The agency which has also registered a case under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) recently to probe the entire gamut of complex real estate transactions found that at least four buildings, measuring about 6,132 sq mtrs in total, and located in Mumbai's Worli Sea Face were sold off by Mirchi's family in 2010 by creating "fictitious identities" and front companies in "contravention of RBI guidelines and FEMA rules."

Investigations by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) into Rs 3,000-crore global money laundering ring of the infamous D-company have revealed that associates of the late Iqbal Mirchi, who was Dawood Ibrahim's associate allegedly acquired properties in London and Singapore, Asian Age reports on May 18. The agency, which recently contacted its counterpart in the UK, will soon initiate process to attach Mirchi’s overseas properties through diplomatic channels. Sources said Mirchi, who died in 2013 in the UK, is suspected to have laundered and moved funds through the hawala (illegal money transaction) route to purchase a host of properties in at least 10 or more countries with the help of his associates. The ED has also approached authorities concerned in Cyprus, Turkey, Spain and Morocco to get details about properties allegedly owned by Mirchi and his associates there, they added. The agency has also identified six properties of Mirchi in Mumbai (Maharashtra), sources said. The agency has also issued notices to Mirchi’s widow, two sons, relatives, lawyers and business associates in connection with its investigation conducted under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) arrested five persons and neutralised a hawala (illegal money transaction) network in Ahmedabad (Gujarat) which had allegedly laundered more than INR 100 billion through a private bank in Surat to Dubai and Hong Kong, The Times of India reports on July 10. The agency is on the trail of the network's kingpin who has been evading arrest for the past eight months. A Mumbai-based bullion trader has been identified as the kingpin of the hawala network that had deposited INR 100 billion in cash in two Surat branches of a private bank in December 2013 and January 2014.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has sent a Letters Rogatory (LR) to the United Kingdom (UK) as part of its global probe into suspected terror funding and hawala (illegal money transaction) operations of late Iqbal Mirchi, a longtime associate of Dawood Ibrahim, New Indian Express reports on August 2. Mirchi, who died in 2013 in the UK, is suspected to have laundered and moved funds through the hawala route to purchase a host of properties in at least 10 or more countries with the help of his associates. The overseas judicial request dispatched recently by the ED through diplomatic channels has sought to obtain information on the finances, bank accounts and assets of Mirchi and his associates which are suspected to be created by him illegally in the foreign country through dubious ways like hawala. Sources said the LR has been issued after vetting from the Union Finance and Home ministries and has been prepared after some preliminary information conducted by the central probe agency in coordination with their counterparts in London. Apart from UK, the agency is already in touch with few more countries like UAE, Spain, Cyprus, Turkey and Morocco as part of the overseas judicial requests. The agency, which has recently launched a multi-level probe into the INR 30 billion slush funds ring, has already issued notices to two sons and the widow of Mirchi, his relatives, lawyers and business associates in connection with its investigation conducted under the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA). As part of the latest LR, the sources said, ED has sought all "available documents and material" which are related to Mirchi and other suspects it has identified in this probe.

Senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Karnal Singh on August 20 took over as the Chief of Enforcement Directorate (ED) in an additional capacity after the government cut short the tenure of incumbent Rajan S Katoch, reports Business Standard. Singh, an expert in counter-terror and cyber analysis operations, has been a Chief of the Special Cell during his earlier tenure with Delhi Police, where he is credited with cracking important cases related to terrorism. ED is mandated to enforce two laws in the country, Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) to check black money and hawala (illegal money transaction) trade.

The multi-crore narcotic, gold and hawala (illegal money transaction) rackets operating in Kerala, particularly in Aluva of Ernakulam District, with national and international connections will likely come under the scanner of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), New Indian Express reports on October 6. NIA officials on October 5 interrogated Aluva based narcotic operator Ibrahim, who was arrested by the Excise Enforcement and Anti-narcotic Squad the other day in connection with brown sugar haul. According to the Excise Enforcement and Anti-narcotic Squad, the narco racket led by Ibrahim was instrumental in smuggling brown sugar consignments to the Middle East, especially Kuwait, on several occasion. “Aluva-native Basheer, who has been in Kuwait for the last 25 years, was handling the Kerala operations of the racket. Members of the racket allegedly sourced contrabands from different parts of the country, especially Jammu and Kashmir, on Basheer’s instructions. It was Basheer who handled the financial dealings of the racket also, operating from abroad,” said Excise officials. During interrogation, Ibrahim admitted to having received payments in proxy accounts for handling the racket in the State. It was found that the INR 400,000 received in the account of Ibrahim’s wife recently was for the last consignment he had handled. The top-layer of the racket is well-knit. Ibrahim had surrendered before the officials with a cooked-up story. The gang also allegedly smuggled large quantities of gold into the State through airports in South India on several occasions, and made payments through hawala.

Zafar Khan, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agent arrested from Kolkata (West Bengal) on November 16, was spying on defence establishments in the state, specifically on the chicken-neck area Bengal's trijunction of Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh, say Police,The Times of India reports on November 18. He was also spying on defence equipment manufacturing units in Bengal since 2009 and was a major hawala (illegal money transfer) operator of the Tiljala-Topsia belt in the city, say Police. A more seasoned spy, it was Zafar who insisted that he and his elder brother Akhtar, who is also in custody, get Pakistani nationality, say sources. It was also Zafar who used his local contacts to arrange for money to reach Kolkata through hawala channels for operational needs, said an officer. "We are targeting his hawala network from the Gulf," he added. Special Task Force (STF) sources said Zafar posed as a marketing executive to cover his spying. What worries police is his confession that he had procured fake papers for some locals, who travelled to the Gulf. "Akhtar was asked to send back information about men working in defence and security establishments in Bengal - news relating to strength of a unit, their movements and the ammunition they use," said an officer."Among the two brothers, it is now known that Akhtar went to Pakistan in 1985. We now know that Zafar took his mother to the same country in 1990. His mother Dulara Bibi returned to her third son three months later (both of them had travelled on an Indian passport) but Zafar stayed back. He came to India only in 2009 but by then his cousin - who also took Akhtar in his fold, Ajmal Khan (a Pakistan government employee) had helped Zafar establish a firm hold in that country.
