The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on June 22 seized a consignment of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth INR three million being smuggled in from China’s Xinjiang Province, The Times of India reports on July 3. The consignment was sent through an international courier from China's Xinjiang Province. The development comes close on the heels of three Chinese nationals from the same Province being apprehended in Leh area of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) while trying to illegally cross over to Pakistan. They are currently being probed by intelligence agencies in Leh. According to sources, DRI officials arrested the courier with addressed to an old Delhi restaurant. After the traditional routes of Nepal, Bangladesh and Dubai came under the scanner of security agencies, FICN cartels from Pakistan had started routing fake currency through south-east Asian countries such as Malaysia and Vietnam. This is probably the first time that FICN pushed in by Pakistan has come via China and raises concerns of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI's) growing network in certain provinces of China. "However, this is probably the first time that China has become part of the FICN trail. It raises concerns as it means ISI has been able to build strong networks in certain restive provinces of China which can pose bigger challenges in future," said an officer from the security establishment.

11 people from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), including five former militants, who tried to enter India from Nepal through Sonouli border (Maharajganj District of Uttar Pradesh), seeking to avail the benefits of Jammu and Kashmir Rehabilitation policy, were detained by the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), reports Rising Kashmir. SSB commandant of Sonouli, B K Bankhoti on July 3 said, "The group had reached Kathmandu from Pakistan and from there crossed into India last night [July 2] and were detained by security personnel as they did not have valid documents." Bankhoti said they had left J&K between 1989 and 2009 and were settled in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). “Some of them had also been involved in militant activities”. He said they told security personnel that they wanted to take advantage of the Rehabilitation Policy of 2010 under the J&K government and wanted to go there. According to the surrender policy, Kashmiri residents who crossed over to PoK between 1989 and 2009 would be considered for safe return. The detained persons comprising five men, four women and two children were sent to Jammu and Kashmir cell in Delhi, accompanied by troops.

Police arrested two fugitives Moin Vajruddin Qureshi and Allauddin Vajruddin Qureshi, wanted since 1999 by several security agencies for alleged involvement in terror-related cases from Wanawadi Bazaar (Pune District), on July 4, reports dnaindia.com. After being arrested in 1999, the fugitives managed to get out on bail and were absconding since then. Many attempts by several security agencies to nab them since had failed. The fugitives are suspected to have played a role in the Lucknow arms consignment case where a large number of arms were brought in for terror activities. Besides, the duo had allegedly received training in Pakistan and had been hiding in Pune for several years after their role came to light. They were on the radar of Intelligence Bureau (IB) and other agencies for the last couple of years, though they managed to evade arrest.

The July 7 issue of The Sunday Times quoted Senior Adviser to the President and Economic Development Minister Basil Rajapaksa as saying, “Some things can be said openly and some things cannot be said openly in diplomatic business between governments. They [India] gave us some of their views, we expressed our views. That is what usually happens. Not only between countries but there must be that sort of exchange of views even in a family, between husband and wife. Then a lot of problems will be sorted out. This was like that.” Basil Rajapaksa had visited India and July 5 met with India's External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid. During the meeting Khurshid has emphasized that the 13th Amendment should not be diluted and Sri Lanka should go beyond the amendment to ensure meaningful devolution of powers. The PSC, which was constituted in June 2013, presently has 19 members, all from the ruling coalition — United People’s Freedom Alliance — led by the Sri Lanka Freedom Party. The main opposition United National Party (UNP), led by Ranil Wikremesinghe, the TNA, as well as the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress (SLMC) which is in the ruling alliance and has been in favour of implementing the 13th Amendment in its original form, is not part of the PSC. Members of the PSC, meanwhile, held their first meeting on July 9, and would meet again on July 26.

The Jharkhand Police has sounded an alert throughout Jharkhand, particularly at religious places, after serial explosions in and around the Mahabodhi temple complex in Bodh Gaya in Gaya District of Bihar on July 7, The Times of India reported. More security forces have been deployed at the world famous Baidyanath Dham shrine. Security has been beefed up at Parasnath and also at Rajrappa which draw hundreds of devotees on holidays. The state intelligence had, a couple of months ago, received inputs that the Baba Dham temple was on the radar of the terrorists after which security was beefed up at the shrine.

Traces of RDX and ammonium nitrate have been found at the explosion sites in and around the Mahabodhi temple complex in Bodh Gaya in Gaya District on July 7, reports The Times of India reported on July 8. Some instructions in Urdu were found along with the bombs recovered and defused in Bodh Gaya. One such instruction read Bara But (big statue) and the other 'bus'. Police believe that the first meant Great Buddha statue and the second the tourist bus. Another writing, again in Urdu, said that the operation was done as revenge for what had happened in Iraq. Further, examination of three unexploded bombs revealed that the planters used small LPG cylinders as containers to detonate explosives suspected to be a mix of ammonium nitrate and another high intensity material. "Small cylinders ranging from 2.5 to 5 kg have been used. The gas was taken out and the cylinders filled with explosives. The circuit was then completed using a detonator and a timer device," said an officer from the National Investigation Agency (NIA). Sources said this is the first time gas cylinders have been used as containers for explosives -- a departure from the signature style of Indian Mujahideen (IM), the outfit being suspected to have carried out the blasts. IM is known to use tiffin boxes, pressure cookers or boat-shaped aluminum containers to pack explosives with large amounts of shrapnel. This method of bomb making gives specific direction to the impact of the blasts and causes maximum casualties.

Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde said that two live bombs were detected and defused by security agencies in and around the Mahabodhi temple. "Four blasts took place inside the temple complex. Three blasts took place near the Karmapa monastery while one each happened near the Buddha statue and a tourist bus stand outside. Two live bombs were detected and defused at the site," he said. In addition, a third bomb was recovered from a village near Bodh Gaya hours after serial blasts, Police said. A cylinder bomb was recovered from near Royal Residence hotel at Baiju Bigaha village, about four kilometres away from the Mahabodhi temple. Meanwhile, Bihar Police chief Abhayanand said that the nine blasts at the Mahabodhi temple were not of "very high intensity" and therefore no damage was caused to the sanctum sanctorum. "The explosions were not of high intensity...somewhere between low and high intensity. No damage has been caused to the sanctum sanctorum of the temple," he added. Further, with reports suggesting that Bodh Gaya blasts may be linked to the ongoing communal strife in Myanmar, a Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) advisory asked the states to beef up security at Buddhist shrines and Tibetan settlements, indicating that they could be targeted by radical outfits seeking to avenge attacks on Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. It mentioned inputs about alleged plans of radical groups to target Buddhist places of worship and Tibetan settlements in India "in the light of clashes between Rohingya Muslims and Buddhists in Myanmar in the recent months". Besides chief secretaries of all the states, the advisory was specifically addressed to the Police Commissioners of Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune. All these cities have been targets of terror strikes in the past. "All police stations (should be) alerted, with additional deployment at sensitive locations. All precautionary measures may be taken to prevent untoward incidents. Any development of interest be reported at once," it said The Hindu quoted an MHA official as saying, “There have been intelligence inputs that [some Islamist groups] were planning to target Buddhists and their religious sites with foreigners in mind … This follows the ongoing sectarian violence between Rohingya Muslims and Buddhists in Myanmar. After last year’s Pune blasts, some arrested Indian Mujahideen operatives had told the Delhi police that there were plans to target Buddhist shrines in Bodh Gaya to retaliate for atrocities being committed upon Muslims in Myanmar … This input was shared with the Bihar police. The nature of attack and explosives used in the attack [points] towards the Indian Mujahideen … It could be their handiwork. In recent months, the Centre and some States have also issued alerts over the circulation of videos and pictures on the Internet and through mobile phones of alleged atrocities committed on Rohingya Muslims to incite passions and tensions.” Also, red alert has been sounded across Bihar following the serial blasts at Mahabodhi Temple. Patna police had got an intelligence input about terrorists planning explosions at crowded and religious places in the state capital. Director General of Police Abhayanand said security alert has been sent to all the Superintendents of Police across the state. Further, a senior Police officer said, "According to intelligence reports, since 1990, the Bihar-Nepal border has become a soft entry point for terror suspects and they take shelter in small villages of north Bihar districts." "The exit route of terrorists is highly unpredictable. The Indo-Nepal porous border could be a safe exit route," Inspector General of Police (operations) Amit Kumar said. Two monks were injured in nine serial blasts in and around the Mahabodhi Temple on July 7. Earlier, it was reported that five persons were injured.

Odisha Police on July 8 launched a dedicated law enforcement unit to confront heavily-armed criminals and terrorists in urban areas, reports The Times of India. Christened as Special Tactical Unit (STU), the squad has been designed like the elite National Security Guards (NSG). The STU consists of 30 commandos of Special Operations Group (SOG), who have been trained in latest tactics, including ambush, guerilla warfare, handling of hostage situations and sniper back-up. The STU would function under the administrative control of IG (operations). "Just like SWAT (special weapons and tactics) squads, the Special Tactical Unit has been raised to deal with urban terrorism and high-risk operations. Soon we will raise another unit of 30 commandos," said DGP Prakash Mishra. "The unit will definitely give Odisha Police the cutting-edge," Mishra said. "Though there is no threat from terrorists, we need to be prepared to meet any exigency. We might send the team to Puri for Rath Yatra," said Mishra. IG (operations) A K Sarangi said: "The STU commandos include some of the most agile, physically-fit and excellent sharp-shooters. They will help urban police in different districts to handle crisis situations." Sources said the commandos underwent three-month training under NSG experts at Delhi on use of sophisticated weapons, including handguns, small and medium arms like pistol, revolver, 303 rifles, self-loading rifles (SLRs), AK series and Insas rifles.

Concerned over reports of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency-backed attempts by the Harkat-ul-Jihad (HuJI) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terror outfits to recruit the ‘Rohingyas’ to avenge the ongoing communal strife in Myanmar, intelligence agencies of India have issued an alert, New India Express reports on July 10. “Since 2012, several thousand ‘Rohingyas’ illegally entered the Indian territory through Bangladesh and are staying at several cities demanding refugee status. Given the fact that the LeT and HuJI called for revenge in Myanmar, there could be serious security implications for India,” sources said. “An alert was issued to Karnataka, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Assam, Hyderabad, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh (UP) to remain vigilant in the aftermath of the Mahabodhi Temple attack. Similar alerts were issued to all the border states to prevent illegal immigration,” an official said.

All six persons detained for alleged involvement in July 7, 2013, Bodh Gaya (Bihar) blast were released on July 10, reports The Times of India. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) released two local men, identified as Binod Mistri and Dashrath Yadav. In addition, Patna Police also released four persons who had booked two rooms in a hotel near the temple for merely two hours on the day of blast. Further, NIA has come across certain factories in Bihar that manufacture small cylinders that were used to make the 13 bombs planted in and around the Mahabodhi temple complex. The agency is now trying to trace from which factory the cylinders may have originated and which dealer may have sold it to the terrorists."There are some factories we have come across that make such cylinders. But further investigation is needed to reach the actual source," said an NIA officer adding that a similar search for the clocks used in the blast was also on. Interestingly, NIA investigators have learnt that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has used cylinder bombs identical to those used in Bodh Gaya blasts in parts of Jharkhand. "Maoists often use such bombs, state Police has told us. However, this does not mean that it's a Naxal job. Anyone can copy anyone's bomb. Just as Bodh Gaya bombs having similarity of circuit with 2008 Ahmedabad blasts does not mean that Indian Mujahideen executed the attack," a senior NIA officer said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has issued 12 sketches and photographs of persons suspected to have been involved in the July 7 Bodh Gaya serial bomb blasts, The Times of India reports on July 11. Two of them belong to Gaya and Samastipur Districts of Bihar. NIA website features the photographs of Amir Reza Khan alias Parvez alias Rizwan alias Muttaki of Gaya District and Mohammed Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu of Samastipur District as most wanted. Moreover, investigations into the blasts are now focused on the three live bombs that remained unexploded and were recovered by agencies. "This is the only lead we have as of now as nothing has come off interrogations of several people who were seen in CCTV footage or had stayed in hotels nearby," an NIA officer said. Further, NIA has announced a reward of INR one million for definite clues about the perpetrators of blasts. In another related move, the NIA on July 10 lodged a complaint case at the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) in Patna and the three FIRs lodged at Bodh Gaya in this connection have been transferred to NIA. Meanwhile, two tweets purportedly from Indian Mujahideen (IM) that claimed the terror outfit carried out the serial blasts at Bodh Gaya and warned about a plot to attack Mumbai (Maharashtra) by July 13, 2013 have been traced to Pakistan. The Twitter handle @IndianMujahidin sent out the warning to Mumbai on July 6. It followed that up by claiming responsibility for the explosions at the Buddhist site in Bihar in a tweet on July 7, almost 12 hours after the explosive devices placed inside the temple complex had gone off. "Our probe has established that the tweets originated in Pakistan. We cannot pinpoint the exact city or location at this point of time since we have not got a detailed report from the microblogging firm," a senior source in Maharashtra ATS said.

Security agencies, probing into the suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) tweet, have reportedly zeroed in on a cyber cafe in Karachi (provincial capital of Sindh) in Pakistan from where the message claiming responsibility for the Bodh Gaya (Bihar) serial blasts (July 7, 2013) had been uploaded, The Times of India reports on July 13. Moreover, National Investigation Agency (NIA) on July 12 raided the office of Cobra security agency in Kankarbagh (Patna District) and the residences of 11 of its security guards to check the veracity of their statements in connection with the serial blasts. The agency had provided guards for security inside the shrine. Further, NIA has sent 18 samples to Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh) for DNA test in connection with the serial bomb explosions. "Five days after the serial bomb explosions, no concrete leads (have come up) so far and NIA has sent 18 samples collected as evidence for DNA touch test to Hyderabad," said a police official in Gaya.

Agencies suspect that the well-established drug cartels in China and Pakistan spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI')s influence in that country's Xinjiang Province are being used to push Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) into India, The Times of India reports on July 15. "China is already a flourishing drug market conduit where Pakistani underworld has considerable influence. In the recent past, we have also seen growing ISI influence in Xinjiang. China has openly talked about elements from Pakistan fomenting terror in this region. Pakistan could very well be using these assets to push FICN into India," said an officer from the security establishment. However, the worry for Indian agencies is that unlike Nepal, Bangladesh, Dubai and Malaysia, where Indian intelligence agencies have considerable influence, it would be difficult to move China on the issue. "We have conducted operations in the traditional routes and dismantled quite a few cartels in those countries. But it would not be possible in China," said an intelligence officer.

Security agencies fighting against the circulation of Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) have to take on a deadly mix of the underworld, various terrorist networks and Inter Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan’s intelligence agency, who are using new routes to pump fake currency into India, The Times of India reports on July 15. Sources in the Mumbai Police said the involvement of the underworld has been established on a number of occasions, and distribution of fake currency is controlled by Dawood Ibrahim's aide, Aftab Batki alias Sultan. Sources also said FICN get printed at a press set up by ISI at Sukkur (Sukkur District in Sindh) a border town in Pakistan. ISI has been using Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and other splinter groups to smuggle fake currency. Moreover, the growing number of FICN seized in Mumbai (Maharashtra) during the last four years indicates a growing menace, Hindustan Times reports on July 15. From INR 62,00,000 in 2009, FICN worth INR 88,00,000 was seized in 2012. And till June 2013, INR 40,00,000 has been seized. In a bid to make the laws more stringent, officials of the Mumbai Police said the union government has made amendments in the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) 1967, and now production or smuggling or circulation of fake currency has been declared a ‘terrorist act’.

Javed Mozawala, a visa agent from Mazgaon (Mumbai District) in Maharashtra who was arrested on December 8, 2010, on charges of spying for Pakistan, was convicted under the Official Secrets Act by a sessions court on July 15, and sentenced to seven years' rigorous imprisonment, reports Mumbai Mirror. The court upheld the prosecution's contention that Mozawala, provided information regarding key defence establishments and public infrastructure to his handlers posted at the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi, and convicted him for spying, establishing contacts with foreign agents, and abetting violation of secrecy under sections 3(1)(c), 4(2), and 9 of the Act. The court, however, didn't find him guilty of criminal conspiracy under the Indian Penal Code (IPC). At the time of arrest he was found in possession of incriminating documents that included maps and photographs of Western Naval Command in Mumbai (Maharashtra), another defence establishment in Lonavala, the Bandra Worli Sea Link, and the Koyna Dam in Satara. The investigators also found pen drives and CDs that contained coded telephone numbers of 87 defence establishments across the country, besides a handbook which listed tips on how to not raise suspicion, evade arrest, and communicate with other aides through cryptic emails. The Crime Branch said Mozawala was being 'handled' by one Abdul Latif alias Bhatti in the Pakistan High Commission, who went missing a few months before he was arrested.

Two absconding operatives of the Indian Mujahideen (IM), who represent two of the home-grown terror outfit's deadliest known modules, were 'certainly' behind the Bodh Gaya blasts, claimed Delhi Police special cell, on July 15, reports Hindustan Times. Waqas alias Ahmed from the Maharashtra module and Asadullah Akhtar Haddi alias Tabrez from the Uttar Pradesh module have been evading arrest well before they allegedly planted bombs during the Mumbai serial blasts in July 2010. The men then executed a similar, though unsuccessful bid at Pune in August 2012 and another bid in Delhi last year before they allegedly struck in Bodh Gaya instead, according to highly-placed sources. "These men, who have received training at Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) camps in Pakistan, according to Syed Maqbool, one of the men arrested for the Pune serial blasts, are the only remaining IM bombers," said a senior officer. While Haddi, who was allegedly involved in the Batla House encounter of 2008 has been on the run, Waqas was part of the infamous Aurangabad Arms Haul of 2006. “We have reached this conclusion after analysing undetonated Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) recovered from Mumbai, Pune and Bodh Gaya. All had similar markings near their circuits”, senior officer added.

The arrest of a man, Anwar Mullick in Kolkata (West Bengal) on July 7, 2013, the day of the Bodh Gaya (Bihar) blasts, has reportedly revealed an explosives supply unit of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) responsible for supply of explosives for IM-linked blasts since 2010, including the German Bakery blast in Pune, Chinnaswamy Stadium Blast in Bangalore and the 2011 Mumbai serial blasts, Indian Express reports on July 17.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has almost settled on the Indian Mujahideen (IM) as the terror outfit responsible for the serial explosions at Bodh Gaya (Bihar, July 7, 2013), The Times of India reports on July 17. "Going by the modus operandi, nature of explosives and eyewitness statements, the involvement of Naxalites, Hindu terror outfits or even disgruntled elements within the temple management can be safely ruled out. It is now almost certain that the IM or a local outfit owing allegiance to it carried out the multiple blasts," said an officer associated with the probe. In addition, NIA has found some important clues in the blasts, Union Minister of Home Affairs Sushilkumar Shinde said on July 17. "I can say that investigation is being done seriously, and probing agency (NIA) has found some important clues in the right and positive direction," Shinde commented. Meanwhile, reports indicate that poor quality of gas cylinders used in the bombs planted at Bodh Gaya, perhaps, saved the site from too much damage. Investigations by NIA revealed that one of the reasons why the 10 bombs that exploded in Bodh Gaya could not cause much damage was because the cylinders in which explosives were stuffed were procured from local factories in Bihar and were of very poor quality. "In some bombs the entire base of the cylinder has come out intact dampening the impact of the blasts," said an NIA officer. Another reason being cited for the bombs going off with a whimper is poor insertion of detonators in the shrapnel-explosive mix. "Holes were drilled into the cylinders and then explosives and shrapnel put into it. A detonator was then inserted to complete the circuit with batteries and clocks. It seems the detonators were surrounded more by shrapnel than explosives leading to reduced charge and poor explosion," said the officer.

It also showed him carrying a backpack. NIA believes the suspect planted some of the four bombs in the Mahabodhi temple complex. The sketches were prepared with the help of CCTV footage and eyewitnesses who saw the man leaving the temple premises in the morning. Among the three eyewitnesses, two are said to be foreigners from Sri Lanka and Thailand while the third is from Gaya.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), probing conspiracy of Indian Mujahideen (IM), in its first chargesheet filed on July 17, traces the origins of the banned outfit and details its agenda but fails to find any exhaustive evidence, according to Indian Express. The 42-page chargesheet was filed in a case against 12 IM operatives, including Yasin Bhatkal, Riyaz Bhatkal and Iqbal Bhatkal registered in September 2012. In what reads like a compilation of previous chargesheets filed by various state police and the special cell of Delhi Police, it states that "IM was formed in or around 2003 end in the wake of communal mobilisation due to factors like Babri Masjid demolition and Gujarat riots". According to the NIA, IM was formed after a group of certain ultra radicalised Muslim youths segregated themselves from Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). Without substantiating, NIA claims, "Source information revealed that IM is receiving regular funding from abroad..." It goes on to say that IM is undertaking "large-scale recruitment" for acts of terror with "active support from their Pakistan-based associates and sleeper cells within the country". NIA further says, "IM does not believe in the Constitution and believes in waging war against India." However, the NIA has no idea on the means of communication used by the outfit to contact its cadre. The chargesheet says the group recruits cadre by "engaging them in discussions".

A good number of people in Kochi District have made it to the list of the world’s most wanted criminals, New Indian Express reports on July 20. The names of 10 persons from the district figure among 31 Keralites in the revised red corner notice list of the Interpol released this year by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the agency which is operating as Interpol in the country. Six persons from the District are wanted by the security agencies in the country for terror-related activities. That 16 of them belong to the northern Districts such as Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kannur and Kasargod is a cause for concern. Azeez Kizhakkanayil Odackali, Nasar Marangattu, Najeeb Kariberypadi, Abdul Sathar alias Manzoor, Savad Mudasherri and Sajil Thottathukudi are wanted for terror-related activities. Koyikkal Ramrao Sudarshan and Baby Srambickal are wanted for economic frauds and counterfeit cases. Some terror-accused persons like K P Sabir of Kannur who is one of the first persons from Kerala to be trained in terror camps in Jammu and Kashmir were mainly operating in Ernakulam District. “Central Bureau of Investigation is the agency which works as Interpol in the country. Red corner notice is issued against people who after committing notorious crimes are suspected to have fled from the country. The majority of the Keralites in the red corner list are linked to murder, human trafficking, arms and drugs smuggling, terror-related and counterfeit cases. The number has risen from 17 last year to 31 this year,” CBI officials said.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is busy opening another front along Bangladesh-Myanmar border, The Times of India reported on July 21. Inputs with Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW), India's external intelligence agency, confirm that LeT and its front Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD), are working to extend their footprint along the Bangladesh-Myanmar border by riding piggyback on the sectarian violence targeted against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar's Rakhine state. While JuD ‘chief’ Hafiz Muhammad Saeed is leading the anti-Myanmar campaign, espousing the cause of Rohingyas from various public platforms in Pakistan, his terror subordinates have been planning and undertaking visits to the Bangladesh-Myanmar border region. Apart from creating a new forum, Difa-e-Musalman Arakan (Defence of Muslims in Myanmar), in mid-2012 to mobilize support for an anti-Myanmar government campaign, LeT/JuD had deputed a two-member team — comprising JuD ‘spokesperson’ Nadeem Awan and JuD ‘Publications Wing’ member Shahid Mahmood Rehmatullah — in August 2012 to forge covert links with like-minded Islamic organizations in Bangladesh and Myanmar.
