On February 15, the Supreme Court described the proscribed Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) as a "secessionist movement". A bench of Justice S. B. Sinha and Markandeya Katju observed while dealing with the Special Leave Petition filed by the SIMI challenging the ban imposed on it, "You are a secessionist movement. You have not stopped your activities." The Bench refused to agree with the submissions put forth by Kamini Jaiswal, counsel for the SIMI, that there was no evidence to link SIMI to any anti-national activity after 2003. In the petition, the SIMI had challenged the judgment of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act Tribunal headed by Justice B. N. Chaturvedi of the Delhi High Court, which confirmed the ban imposed on the organisation by the Union Government on February 8, 2006.

The prosecution on February 15 completed arguments on the quantum of sentence in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts case and pleaded for death sentence for the 44 convicted persons, reports The Hindu. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) prosecutor, N. Natarajan, however, submitted that Rubina Memon, Somnath Thapa and Imitiaz Gawte, be spared of death sentence as Thapa and Gawte were ill and Rubina was a woman. Maximum punishment for the rest of the accused was sought after dividing them into three groups, as per the sections under which they were found guilty. The 44 were found guilty under 120-b (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code or Section 3 (2) (i) (terrorist act resulting in death) of the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act. The second group includes accused convicted under Section 3(3) (terrorist activities not resulting in death) of the TADA Act and face a maximum of life imprisonment. The third group comprises accused facing conviction under the Arms Act and Customs Act. Those who face death sentence include three brothers of prime accused Tiger Memon — Yakub, Essa and Yusuf, as well as Mohammed Shoaib Ghansar, Asgar Yusuf Mukadam, Shahnawaz Qureshi, Abdul Gani Ismail Turk, Parvez Nazir Shaikh, Mohammed Iqbal Shaikh, Nasim Bharmare, Mustaq Tarani, Mohammed Farooq Pawale, Bashir Ahmed Usman Gani, Zakir Hussain Noor, Abdul Akhtar Khan, Firoze Amani Malik, Sakim Rahim Shaikh and Moin Qureshi and Eijaz Pathan. The court fixed February 23 for statement by defence counsel on the quantum of sentence.

Amid reports of terrorist groups establishing legitimate businesses to fund their activities, the Government said on February 16 that such outfits are making inroads into big cities and operating clandestinely, according to Press Trust of India. "Terrorists are sneaking into big cities and operating clandestinely... They have been making their plans by hiding in the cities and will continue to do it," Home Minister Shivraj Patil said in New Delhi. His comments came in the wake of National Security Advisor M. K. Narayanan’s remarks that some fictitious companies in stock markets of Mumbai and Chennai have been traced to terrorist groups. Patil said the influx of terrorists into major cities has a big impact on the national capital and asked its police force to remain on alert to frustrate designs to spread terror in the city.

With infiltration becoming difficult due to fencing and installation of hi-tech gadgets on the Line of Control (LoC) and International Border (IB), Pakistani militants, especially Fidayeen (suicide squad) have frequently started using the Bangladesh-West Bengal-New Delhi route to reach Kashmir and other parts of jammu and Kashmir, Daily Excelsior reported. A top Pakistani militant, Shahid Gafoor of Sialkot, who had to carry out a suicide attack in Srinagar along with a local militant but was arrested along with his three associates in the national capital New Delhi recently, had also used the same route for infiltration. Gafoor and his arrested associates were part of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) group. Preliminary interrogation of Gafoor, being done by the Delhi Police and shared with the Jammu and Kashmir Police (JKP), has revealed that three Kashmiri over-ground workers (OGWs) working for the JeM outfit camped at the West Bengal-Bangladesh border for three days from January 30 to February 1 waiting for sneaking of Gafoor from Bangladesh. Three OGWs, Bashir Ahmed, Fayyaz Lone and Abdul Majeed, all Kashmiris, who were also arrested by Delhi Police on February 4 from Connaught Place, had been deputed to Bengal from different areas, they were putting in, to receive Pakistani Fidayeen and shift him to Srinagar where he had to carry out a suicide attack along with a local militant of the JeM, sources said. Gafoor disclosed during his questioning that he was asked to take the Bangladesh-West Bengal route by Jaish commanders as infiltration from LoC and IB had either become "impossible" or "very risky" due to fencing, increased surveillance and installation of sophisticated equipments. He revealed that many other Pakistani militants have also reached Kashmir and other parts of the State using same route. Gafoor claimed that he was spotted by the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR), which manned the border with West Bengal, but not prevented from infiltration which, according to sources, was a clear indication that the BDR was helping Pakistani militants in intrusions to the Indian side.

On February 18 midnight, 66 persons, including some Pakistani nationals, were killed and 13 others injured in explosions in two coaches of the Delhi-Attari special train at Diwana near Panipat in Haryana, reports Press Trust of India. Northern Railway General Manager, V. N. Mathur, told that he suspected sabotage as two improvised explosive device (IED)-laden suitcases, one from the rail track and another from the train, were also recovered subsequent to the explosions. One of the suitcases had incendiary material, either petrol or kerosene, which could have set the train afire, he said. The bi-weekly train, connecting India-Pakistan Samjhauta Express, had left Delhi at 10:40 pm for Attari near Amritsar and two of its bogies caught fire immediately after the explosions. The train runs non-stop from Delhi to Attari, where passengers are shifted to the Samjhauta Express, which goes to Lahore after customs and immigration clearances.

Press Trust of India reported that the Interpol has sought the assistance of Jammu and Kashmir Police (JKP) to question the chief of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM), Syed Salahuddin, in connection with the disappearance of a Scottish tourist in the Kashmir valley 26 years ago. Police, while reopening the case, have informed Interpol that Salahuddin is in Pakistan and sought the help of the world police organisation to extradite him, highly placed sources in the State Government said. Allison Modowell went missing in 1981, when she and another tourist from Scotland went trekking in the Sonamarg hills in north Jammu and Kashmir. After initial investigations by the JKP, the matter was closed after some time as she could not be traced. The case was reopened recently when police received a communication from Interpol in London, seeking their assistance in interrogating Salahuddin, who was described by the world police body as an Indian citizen. The move by Interpol’s London unit was based on a telephonic interview by Salahuddin in 2000, in which he claimed responsibilities for several terrorist acts, the sources said. The missing woman’s family has claimed that Salahuddin, while giving the interview, used certain words that not only had a Scottish accent but were often used by Allison, sources added. The family claimed Allison could have been in Salahuddin’s captivity for long before being allegedly murdered and, therefore, his interrogation was necessary.
