On January 8m in a joint operation, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) and Karnataka's internal security division arrested three alleged Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives in two separate incidents and seized a huge cache of bomb-making material and communication devices, reports The Times of India. The arrests were made in Cox Town of Bengaluru, and Bhatkal in Uttara Kannada District. Announcing the arrests, Police Commissioner MN Reddi said so far no connection has been established between the trio and the December 28 explosion on Church Street. But, Police will investigate further. Reddi said around 5 kilogram of ammonium nitrate, gelatin, electrical circuits, detonators and a walkie-talkie have been seized. "Three men, Syed Ismail Afaq, 34, Saddam Hussein, 35 and Abdus Subur, 24 have been arrested. The first two were arrested from the house in Pulakeshinagar in east Bengaluru and the third person was arrested from Bhatkal town. Abdus Subur, 24 was MBA student in Bhatkal and we are yet to identify the background of the other two arrested men," Reddi added. During the investigation it was found that these men were acting on the instructions of a handler abroad. "We can't confirm the country from where the handler was operating. These men are being interrogated right now and we can't disclose the directions these men were given either, at the point of the investigation," he said. These men have been booked under sections 3.4 and 5 of explosive substances act and sections 10, 13 and 18 of Unlawful Assembly Prevention Act (UAPA) and 120 B and 121 A of Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Security Forces (SFs) in Jharkhand on January 8 launched an "all-out operation" against Peoples Liberation Front of India (PLFI)-a splinter group of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), reports The Times of India. Though Police did not disclose the details, they said "Operation Karo II" will continue throughout January, 2015. Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Commando Battalion for Resolute Action (CoBRA), State's specialized anti-Naxal-[Left-Wing Extremism (LWE)] force Jharkhand Jaguar and District Police will jointly carry out the operation across eight districts. Launching the Operation in Khunti District, Director General of Police (DGP) Rajiv Kumar said "In the past one year, we have run special operations and flushed out Maoists from places they used to consider their strongholds. We have now decided to target PLFI, which is a criminal organization without any ideology and indulges in senseless killings." Police estimate that PLFI has 300-odd cadres engaged in collecting levy from contractors, small industrialists, traders and transporters. A Police report in 2014 said PLFI carried out as many incidents as CPI-Maoist. A police officer said the aim is to catch Dinesh Gope. In September 2014 the State Police had launched 'Operation Karo-I' in which 50 PLFI rebels were arrested while two were killed in Simdega District. "In the two-month long operation over six encounters with the PLFI took place and huge cache of arms was recovered," said a Police officer.

The Crime Branch officials, headed by Crime Branch officer Sushil Tyagi on January 10 raided Moradabad city in Uttar Pradesh for sleeping terror modules, reports The Times of India. According to the Crime Branch officials, the terror modules are gathering information and sending it to their seniors in Kashmir.

Sushil Tyagi said that, "With the arrest of Saleem Patla and Ejaz Sheikh from Moradabad earlier, the intelligence agencies and the crime branch are continuously tracking the sleeping modules working for the terrorist organizations from the city. The exact location of the sleeping modules has not been traced because they keep changing their places in the densely populated areas of the city." The intelligence sources have claimed that the city is considered to be the hotbed of terrorist activity, and is gaining renown as region that provides easy asylum.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres blew up an Anti-Landmine Vehicle of the Chhattisgarh Police, killing five personnel in Dantewada district on April 13, reports The Hindu. “Maoists targeted an Anti-Landmine Vehicle which was on a search operation near Khudiyapara village of Dantewada around 2.30 p.m. on Monday. The vehicle was carrying 12 jawans [troopers] of the CAF (Chhattisgarh Armed Force) and the district police, including the driver. Dantewada SP reached the spot immediately after the encounter and rushed the injured jawans to Kirandul hospital. However, four jawans died in the hospital,” said a statement issued by the Chhattisgarh police headquarters in Raipur. Another jawan succumbed to injuries while being taken to Jagdalpur for treatment, taking the toll to five. Seven jawans were injured, an officer posted in Bastar said. The Times of India reports that Dantewada District Superintendent of Police (SP) Kamal Lochan Kashyap said, "Guerrillas triggered a powerful blast near a culvert, targeting the mine-protected vehicle. Rebels used 100 kg of explosives. Magnitude of explosion was so intense that the 50-tonne anti-landmine vehicle was tossed in the air and fell upside down." The blast left an 18-foot deep crater on the ground and rifles, guns and explosives lay strewn around. It seemed the trap was laid afresh as connecting wire that connected explosives at a distance of 150 metres looked new. "After the blast, Maoists resorted to indiscriminate firing to inflict heavy casualties on security forces," he said. Explosions and subsequent gunshots alerted security forces at nearby Cholnar camp, who rushed to the site.
