On August 1, a Court held S. A. Basha, founder of the outlawed Al-Umma, and 152 persons guilty of hatching a criminal conspiracy to trigger a series of nine explosions at Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu on February 14, 1998, and to create enmity between two communities. The explosions killed 58 people and injured 200 others shortly before the arrival of senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Lal Krishna Advani. The blasts also damaged property worth over INR 140 million. The Court, however, exonerated chairman of the Kerala-based political party, People's Democratic Party, Abdul Nasser Madhani of all the five charges against him, including participating in the conspiracy to carry out the blasts and to create communal hatred as well as alleged links to efforts to obtain explosives for the attacks. Madhani, who is suffering from various ailments including diabetes, was released later in the day on bail and reportedly traveled to Ernakulam in Kerala. The Court found 69 accused guilty of the offence under Section 120-B (conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The other charge proved against some of the accused was under Section 153 A (1) of the IPC (promoting communal hatred between different groups on grounds of religion). 84 persons were found guilty of the charges under the Explosive Substances Act, the Arms Act and the Tamil Nadu Properties (Prevention of Damages and Loss) Act. Judge K. Uthirapathy further said the charges against eight persons had not been proved. He deferred the verdict against five accused for modification of the charges against them and said there were minor charges against the remaining accused. The sentences are expected to be pronounced from August 6 after the judge hears arguments by the defence. The trial began in March 2002 and the arguments in June 2006. It was completed on April 10, 2007, after the Court examined about 1,300 witnesses out of a total of 2,345. Of the 181 accused of involvement in the serial blasts, eight died in police firing and in a storming operation on a suspected hideout. The police are still looking for four accused. Another accused, S.K. Mohideen, was reportedly arrested only recently. Of the 168 arrested, Riaz-ur-Rehman turned approver and Mohammed Dasthagir died in custody.

On August 3, the two-day Home Secretary-level talks between India and Bangladesh concluded in New Delhi. Both countries reiterated that the use of the territory of either country would not be allowed for terrorist and criminal activities against the interests of the other, reports Indian Express. A joint declaration said, "Both sides agreed to initiate swift action on information received about groups and elements and other fugitives from the law of either country taking shelter in the other country." Both countries also agreed to revive the mechanism of the Joint Working Group (JWG) at the level of Home Secretary and Joint Secretaries who will hold meetings at regular intervals in New Delhi and Dhaka alternately. During the talks, the Indian side led by Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta raised India’s concerns regarding the north-eastern militant groups having found shelter in Bangladesh. In response, Bangladesh sought India’s commitment to do its bit against people wanted in Bangladesh, but who had allegedly found shelter in India. Speaking to the media after the talks, Gupta said that an institutional mechanism — a fourth tier — had been added to the three-level mechanism evolved to increase cooperation between the two countries. The three tiers that have been in existence since 1994 include consultations between the Bangladesh Rifles and Border Security Force officials, meetings of the JWG comprising the joint secretaries of home affairs and home secretary-level talks. Gupta described the fourth layer as a fundamental change in the negotiations between the two countries.

Daily India reports that the villagers of Mohanpur in the Begusarai district have taken up arms against the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres, days after a police outpost was removed from the area without prior notice. "We are trying to guard our village. There was a police outpost for about 15 years, which was removed from here, and its removal has made us vulnerable," claimed Arvind Kumar, a villager. Mohanpur village, situated on the border with the Maoist-affected Jharkhand, has received threats of dire consequences from Maoists, said villagers. According to villagers, their relations with the Maoists turned sour in 1989, when they helped the police to neutralise the Maoists in the area.

"Dorphang must know the kind of action that the HNLC would take against deserters who took away its properties," the HNLC statement added. It also said that by surrendering, Dorphang had ‘stabbed the HNLC from the back’. The HNLC also said that Dorphang was earlier authorized by the outfit's leadership to speak to Lapang over phone regarding the peace initiative "but the outfit did not expect that he would be bought over by Lapang to the extent that he deserted his own colleagues."

Indian Express reports that on August 7, charges were framed against the 13 arrested accused in the July 11, 2006-serial blasts in the Mumbai local trains that killed 187 people and injured over 800. The accused included key conspirators Faisal Shaikh, the Mumbai city chief of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), and Asif Khan Bashir Khan alias Junaid. Trial in the case will begin after August 21 as some of the accused have filed a petition seeking a transfer of the case from the special Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) court of Judge Mrudula Bhatkar. Along with the 13 accused, 15 absconding accused — including LeT commander in chief (training) Azam Cheema — and two deceased accused — Salim who died in the blasts, and Abu Osama who died in a police encounter — have also been charged for hatching the conspiracy of the blasts.

Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad acknowledged on August 9 that there was a nexus between some politicians and militants in the State and said his Government would act firmly to tackle the problem. "It is true that in Jammu and Kashmir some politicians and Over Ground Workers have had a liaison with militants for several years and they take their help. We are maintaining a full watch on them," Azad said in an interview in Jammu, according to Press Trust of India. Azad’s comments came in the wake of intelligence reports that certain ministers and political leaders, especially those in south Kashmir, were in close touch with militants in the run-up to next year’s Legislative Assembly elections. He also blamed the Pakistan army, its external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence, and recent developments in the neighbouring country for the sudden rise in infiltration from across the border. "Infiltration had initially increased in April and May and it has also shown an upward trend in the current month," he said. The "wavering command structures" across the border may have contributed to the rise of infiltration into Kashmir but Indian troops "are geared up to deal with any situation", he stated.

State government banned activities of the Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), a non-profit international medical and humanitarian aid organisation, in the Bastar region accusing the organisation of providing medical assistance to Maoists. District Collector of Dantewada K. R. Pisda told Times of India, "The administration has been constantly receiving information about MSF's volunteers providing treatment to the injured and ailing Maoist cadres." State police sources said that the MSF doctors had been moving in the conflict zone without informing the local administration. "They do this despite a clear instruction to them to tell us about their movements and whereabouts," an unnamed senior police officer said. A MSF spokesperson, however, said the organisation maintained neutrality in providing medical treatment in camps for the displaced people in Dantewada. "MSF medical teams also provide mobile health services and nutritional support to those in need in remote rural areas. They have been providing free medical services to conflict-hit indigenous people in camps and villages since 2006," he said. MSF was given the Nobel Prize for Peace for its service in providing health care across the world, especially in disaster and conflict affected zones.

Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, while replying to a question in the Lok Sabha (Lower-house of Indian Parliament) said, "Naxal [Maoist] movement is little more than in the past. But statistics made available are creating wrong impression. If an incident occurs in some part of the state, it doesn't mean the entire state is affected." He rejected the impression that Maoist activities were affecting one-third of the country based on suggestions that ten states or 180 districts are hit by the extremists. "The fact is that out of about 8,000 police stations, only 400 are affected. In other words, only five per cent of area is affected by naxal activities", he said.

Chief of Army Staff General J. J. Singh said in Bengaluru (also known as Bangalore) on August 17 that the time was not ripe to scale down the level of troops in Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking to the media after flying the mechanised version of indigenous advanced flight helicopter Dhruv at the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, he said Jammu and Kashmir is a border State and the border issues had remained unresolved with both China and Pakistan, where the countries have different perceptions. He said there was no increase in the level of troops but there had been replacement of battalions. General Singh also stated: "when you have armed terrorists infiltrating into India, how do you expect the Indian Army to reduce the troop level. When there are teething problems like terrorists coming across the border and serious law and order problems in the hinter land of Kashmir and the unresolved border issues, it will not be possible to reduce the troop level in Kashmir in the near feature."

On August 17, Police in Bengaluru (also known as Bangalore), capital of Karnataka, foiled a plot to trigger explosions in the city by arresting a four-member gang near Dattatreya Temple in the Banashankari area. The gang was traveling in a vehicle loaded with explosives. A revolver, ten detonators, 20 gelatin sticks and other weapons were recovered from Asgar alias Asgar Pasha bin Abdul Rasheed of Mangammanapalya in Bengaluru, Umar bin Mohammad Sharif of Lakshmi Layout in Bengaluru, Jilani bin Wallisab of Desnur village in the Bellary district and Mohammad Zaheer bin Shafiulla Khan of Kowl Bazaar Street in Bellary. City Police Commissioner, N. Achutha Rao, told Deccan Herald that another accused Sameer is absconding. According to police sources, Asgar has linkages with the Naxalites (left-wing extremists). Deputy Commissioner of Police Alok Kumar said, “Asgar told the police that he wanted to trigger explosions in various parts of the City to eliminate his enemy, rowdy Diwan Ali, and his associates. But, the police suspect that Asgar might have cooked up the story to mislead the police. He seems to have close connections with Naxalites. He reportedly has links with Naxalite Narayananappa, who was convicted in two cases 8 years ago and is currently lodged in Central Prison, Parappana Agrahara.”

Presenting its action taken report on the recommendation made by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Defence, the government stated on August 17 that a decision has been taken to raise a very large number of additional battalions of the central para-military forces to be deployed for internal security duties and anti-terrorist operations.

The 48-member panel that includes senior Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party members of the parliament recommended that the "Army should he immediately withdrawn from internal security duties and this should be handled by Central Para Military Forces, Central Reserve Police Force and the State Police forces."

Suspected Karbi Longri North Cachar Hills Liberation Front militants triggered an explosion at the residence of Assam Hills Area Development Minister Khorsingh Engti at Hauraghat in the Karbi Anglong district on August 28, according to Telegraph. While no casualty was reported, the building was partially damaged in the incident. Police said the militants had planted the remote-controlled bomb at one end of the perimeter wall of the residence. The blast was reportedly meant to prevent the Minister from attending a public meeting at Dolamara, where militants of the same outfit had shot dead 18 Hindi-speaking persons in two separate attacks on August 10 and August 12. “His Dolamara visit has now been postponed,” a source close to the Cabinet Minister said.

The Hyderabad Police on August 28 arrested a man suspected to be involved in the twin bombings, reports Hindustan Times. Mohammed Abdullah, a native of Assam, was arrested after residents of Bowenpalli in Secunderabad caught him under suspicious circumstances. The youth also reportedly had injuries on his head and hands. Meanwhile, police sources claimed that the bombs were planted minutes before they exploded and have not ruled out the possibility of the bomb planters receiving injuries. Police have also begun questioning citizens of Bangladesh and Pakistan overstaying in the city. There are reportedly 20 such foreign nationals who were staying on even after their visas had expired. Police are also investigating the connection of two Hyderabad-based operatives of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) with the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami. Intelligence officials told The Hindu, “We have two definite clues. And we cannot go wrong.” The intelligence agencies are also probing into the source of supply of Neogel-90, an ammonium nitrate-based emulsifier, which has reportedly gone into manufacture of the two clock-based bombs.

According to a status paper on internal security of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) presented to the Lok Sabha (lower house of parliament) by Home Minister Shivraj Patil on August 29, the number of terrorist attacks in the North-east has gone up in the current year (till June 30). The report said that till June 30, Assam witnessed a spurt in violence resulting in the killing of 156 civilians and 15 security force (SF) personnel. In the same period during 2006, Assam saw 181 incidents of terrorist violence in which 61 civilians and nine police personnel had lost their lives. The United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) alone was responsible for killing 124 civilians and seven SF personnel. Manipur registered 229 attacks till June 30 in the current year which claimed the lives of 72 civilians and 25 SF personnel. The corresponding figures for 2006 were 243 incidents and killing of 40 civilians and 15 SF personnel. In Nagaland, clashes between the National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) and the rival Khaplang faction (NSCN-K) claimed 116 lives as against 70 in the previous year. The civilian causalities rose to 24 from 17. Tripura reported 54 incidents, which resulted into killing of eight civilians and four SF personnel. In 2006, six civilians and five police personnel were killed during the same period. The report noted that collection of local intelligence holds the key to preventing terrorist activity. It said that the Union Government had directed the States to strengthen special branches of police by providing additional manpower and filling up vacancies. It stressed on the need for regular surveillance on the part of intelligence agencies and local police to identify and pre-empt terrorist modules or sleeper cells in some parts of the country. The document further said all north-eastern States have been advised to earmark up to five per cent of their annual allocations under the Scheme for Modernisation of State Police Forces towards this purpose.

At least 12 security force (SF) personnel were killed in an ambush by the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres near Jagargunda forests of Dantewada district on August 29, reports Times of India. About 200 armed Maoists ambushed a convoy of the SF personnel while it was en route to secure an area at Tarmekla village in Jagargunda, where the Maoists had blocked construction of a road. "The team comprising Chhattisgarh Armed Force, SPOs and cops was divided into two groups. The Maoists hiding in the area ambushed the rear party and opened fire on them," Director General of Police (DGP), Vishwaranjan said. There was heavy exchange of fire during which the police party got fragmented and scattered in the forests. When the policemen regrouped, 15 of their men were missing and were presumed dead but three policemen returned to the camp in the evening. "Though 25 security men returned to the Jagargunda police station by evening, 12 of them, including Jagargunda SHO Hemant Kumar, were killed in the attack," the DGP said. Six police personnel were wounded in the gun battle. The Maoists also looted sophisticated weapons like AK-47s, SLRs and .303 rifles, police sources said.

During a high-level meeting at Hazaribag in Jharkhand on August 29, police forces of the two neighbouring States, Jharkhand and Bihar, discussed strategies to jointly counter the Maoists, according to The Hindu. Bihar’s Deputy Inspector General of Police, Praveen Bhaskar, superintendents of police (SP) from Gaya and Nawada (both Bihar), Chatra, Hazaribag and Giridih (all Jharkhand) participated in the meeting. Joint operations could foil the Maoist strategy of perpetrating violence on one side of the border and crossing over to the other to escape the police of the State concerned. The two sides also stressed the importance of exchange of information on the movement of the Maoist daasta (attack squad). The Bihar Police from the Jamui side and the Jharkhand Police from their operating areas in Giridih conducted joint raids against the Maoists on August 30, the Giridih Superintendent of Police, Arun Kumar Singh, informed.

Times of India reports that the investigators examining the August 25 twin explosions in Hyderabad have indicated the involvement of Pakistan’s external intelligence agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), in the incident. Officials also claimed to have arrested Shadab Khan, suspected to have close links with the ISI. Shadab was reportedly in touch with the suspected mastermind of the twin blasts, Shahid Bilal, ‘commander’ of Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami, over phone on several occasions and had made calls as recent as the last month. Investigators claimed that the recovery of a box in which explosives was packed with a unique design is associated only with military use. A senior police officer said, "The wooden box covered with a tin-sheet appears to be locally-made and was stuffed with explosive, Neogel-90 (Ammonium Nitrate), and iron balls. But what is unique is the boat-shaped design of the box. Such a design is to ensure that the explosive material does not get scattered in all directions but causes a huge explosion at the very site, causing maximum impact." Investigators on August 31 visited the Charlapally central jail on the outskirts of Hyderabad and questioned terrorists with ISI links who are lodged there. The investigators are also questioning carpenters in the city as the box appears to have been made locally.
