Border Security Force (BSF) and Police recovered Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) of INR 184,000 in the denominations of INR 1000 at Tlabung Market in Demagiri in Lunglei District on October 4 and arrested two smugglers identified as Chandalay Chakma and Taranga Mohan Chakma, reports The Sentinel. Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of BSF Satish Budakoti stated that FICN was brought from Bangladesh to Demagiri in order to take them to the interior areas for making use of them and put in circulation in the open market, taking advantage of the simplicity and ignorance of the inhabitants. The INR 1,000 FICN fetches INR 700, giving the smugglers an advantage of Rs 300 against each FICN. On the trail of fake currency note circulation, intelligence agencies have learnt that Indian agents have to take the cattle in high demand in Bangladesh as a barter system to the pre–arranged destinations there. In exchange of the market price of INR 4,000 for a cow, Bangladeshi agents pay their Indian counterparts FICN of INR 10,000.

Even though Assam Police are yet to establish specific links between the six Jammat-ul Mujahideen Bangaldesh (JMB) members, who were allegedly involved in the Burdwan blast, and the al Qaeda, the state, however, is on the radar of global Islamic terrorist groups, said security sources, reports The Times of India on October 14. Such militant groups used the Kokrajhar riots (2012) to attract youngsters, investigation has revealed. "The state started featuring in discourses of pan-Islamic jihadi forces after the 2012 communal riots in Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) in which Bengali-speaking Muslims found themselves being pushed to a corner. Some non-governmental organizations (NGO), religious and political leaders, who were involved in providing relief, also helped indoctrinate youngsters," added security sources. Ongoing conflicts between Rohingya Muslims and ethnic Rakhine in Myanmar have also led to widespread resentment among Muslims in the state. Investigation has also revealed that the six JMB members arrested in Barpeta were part of the outfit's plan to launch subversive activities in Bangladesh.

Assam Chief Minister (CM) Tarun Gogoi on October 15 said that his state is more vulnerable to threats from the jihadi elements than Jammu& Kashmir (J&K), reports The New Indian Express. Gogoi said “They (jihadi elements) have for long been trying to set up bases here and I had once told Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Assam is more dangerous than Kashmir when it comes to the threat from them.” “Fundamentalist elements and extremists are all dangerous. Not just the fundamentalist elements, we also have threats from the ULFA (United Liberation Front of Assam) and the NDFB (National Democratic Front of Bodoland),” he added. According to the CM, Assam had once been home to some jihadi outfits. However, the State Government had been able to weed out those. He also said that “We have information that they (jihadi elements in Assam) have links with a Bangladeshi outfit. But their links with the al Qaeda are yet to be established. The NIA will hopefully be able to unearth more.” Six people have been arrested in Assam in connection with the October 2 Burdwan blast in West Bengal and a number of madrasas in the state are now under the scanner.

Intelligence officials in West Bengal have found a purported al Qaeda pamphlet, which talks about establishing an Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)-style Islamic caliphate in Bangladesh which eventually includes several eastern and northeastern Indian states, reports Hindustan Times on October 29. The pamphlet, written in Bangla and being secretly distributed in West Bengal and Assam, says establishing a caliphate in Bangladesh is crucial for intensifying jihad in Indian states on the eastern border. The pamphlet specifically mentions West Bengal and Assam, though intelligence officials suspect Bihar and Jharkhand also feature in the terror group’s plans. The pamphlet, suspected to have been smuggled into the state through Bangladesh, was discovered a few days before the October 2 Burdwan blast in West Bengal. “If we manage to establish a Syria-like reign here (in Bangladesh) then Muslims from Assam, Arakan (former name of Burma’s Rakhine State) and West Bengal too would be able to come here for hijrat (migration with religious agenda). Simultaneously, anti-India revolts would intensify in seven eastern Indian states. This would be a huge blow for India, one of the key non-Muslim states in the changed situation of the world,” says the pamphlet. A senior officer working with a central intelligence agency on October 29 said, “We have got a copy of the leaflet. We will soon send it to New Delhi. This issue has to be discussed at the top level.”

Telegraph on October 30 reports that nearly 30 youths from Tinsukia, Dibrugarh and Sivasagar Districts, who had gone outside the state for employment, may have joined Communist Party of India- Maoist (CPI-Maoist). Sources in the Police Department said an inquiry was on to ascertain whether the youths who reportedly went outside Assam two years ago to work for private firms were really employed in the companies or had joined Maoist organisations. The suspicion arose on the basis of inputs collected by the Police from local sources that these youths, who had left in 2012, had not visited their homes since and seldom called their family and friends. The sources said the parents and guardians of the 30 youths under scanner had told the Police that their children had gone to Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala and were employed in the hospitality sector, private security agencies and construction companies.

The Ranjan Daimary faction of National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-RD), on October 31, being dissatisfied with the arrest of Ranjan Daimary on September 29, threatened to withdraw its ceasefire agreement, reports The Assam Tribune. The ‘information & Publicity Secretary’ of NDFB-RD B Naijab, stated that “the arrest of DR Nabla on September 29 last, a day after the submission of memorandum and subsequent rejection of his bail plea by the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (TADA) Court on October 21 despite submission of affidavit by the State government, is not only surprising but also unprecedented, discriminatory and insulting. NDFB has, therefore, decided to pull out of the peace process unless the government proves its seriousness to expedite the peace process by releasing DR Nabla, other leaders and cadres who are languishing in jail for years together by November 30”.
