A special court on July 1 rejected the bail plea of a retired Delhi Police official, who was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for allegedly providing a weapon to an accused linked to a group attempting to revive Sikh militancy for a separate Khalistan, reports The Indian Express. The court on July 1 rejected 62-year-old Sundarlal Parashar’s bail application. He was arrested on April 24, following which a charge sheet was filed against him on May 23. In his bail plea, Parashar said there was no evidence presented by the NIA that could show his involvement in the alleged conspiracy. The NIA had invoked sections under the Arms Act against him, stating that Parashar had provided a pistol and live rounds, which was recovered from another accused in the case named Moinuddin Siddiqui. According to the NIA, Siddiqui gave the weapon to another accused, Harpal Singh. The NIA alleged that Singh was active on social media, seeking the creation of a separate Khalistan and had links with a radical group called Babbar Khalsa International (BKI).

Union Home Minister (UHM) Amit Shah, on July 1, charged the separatists with sending their own children to foreign countries for studies and jobs and misleading common youth of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), reports Daily Excelsior. Taking separatists to task, he said kin of one of the Hurriyat leaders was earning INR 3 million in a foreign country while children of another separatist Aasiya Andrabi were studying in the foreign countries. About 100 kin of the separatists were taking education in foreign schools but in J&K, they call for closure of educational institutions and mislead the people and youth of the Valley, he asserted and said 43 persons including 24 separatists have been arrested by the National Investigating Agency (NIA). Yet, UHM Shah said the Government will win hearts of the people in J&K and they will embrace us. The UHM was speaking in the Rajya Sabha (Upper House of the Indian Parliament) on statutory resolution seeking extension of President’s Rule in J&K by another six months beyond July 3 and a bill granting three percent reservations in Government jobs and educational institutions to the people living along the International Border (IB). The resolution as well as the bill were approved by the Rajya Sabha. The Lok Sabha (Lower House of the Indian Parliament) had approved them on June 28. President Ram Nath Kovind will now issue a proclamation extending President’s rule in J&K by another six months.

Karnataka appears to be emerging as a hotbed of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) circulation, with counterfeit notes with a face value of INR 24,728 (on an average) being seized every day over the past three and a half years, reports The Times of India. Various state and central agencies seized FICN with a face value of INR 3.1 crore in Karnataka during the period, whereas the nationwide haul was around INR 75.5 crore. The figures came to light through a reply by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to a query in Parliament. A National Investigation Agency (NIA) officer, on condition of anonymity, said that currency racketeers from Bangladesh have managed to cultivate a network in the State. “They have changed their bases after getting exposed. We have found their presence in Belagavi, where fake currency was circulated among daily-wage labourers and workers in sugar factories. Locals working on commission basis to pump fake notes into circulation have also been arrested in the past. They use the Maharashtra border to enter Karnataka. In all these cases, we found that racketeers chose poor locals and lured them with attractive commissions,” he explained. “In other instances, we have found fake currency being circulated among coffee plantation labourers. They either use Bengaluru’s outskirts as a transit point or distribute it from small towns. Their network is sophisticated and most of the operators don’t know each other. They work for a quick buck and transport fake notes via train, bus or other means of transport,” the officer explained. Banks deposited INR 1 crore FICNs in RBI, Karnataka.

The Security Forces (SFs) have killed 800 terrorists since 2014, of which 249 were in 2018, the Union Government informed the Lok Sabha (lower House of Indian Parliament) on July 3, reports Daily Excelsior.

The minister said sustained operations conducted by the security forces “have resulted in (the) elimination of (a) large number of terrorists”. Replying to a separate question, Naik said firm and decisive response was given by the Army to the ceasefire violations on the India-Pakistan border.

Reported Pakistani actions against terrorists and terror groups have exposed the country’s complicity in using terrorism as a tool of statecraft, said the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on July 4, reports The Hindu. MEA’s official spokesperson, Raveesh Kumar said that Islamabad should take irreversible steps against the groups that are responsible for incidents like the 26/11 Mumbai attack. “Pakistan claims that they have taken steps against terrorists and terrorist outfits, but when it comes to taking action against the people that we have demanded, they go into a denial mode, they even deny that they exist in their country. On the other hand, they try to show the international community that they are taking some action against terrorist groups operating from their soil. They stand completely exposed as far as their claim of taking steps against terrorist groups in Pakistan is concerned,” said Raveesh Kumar. He also said that Pakistan’s announced financial crackdown on banned militant groups is not sufficient. The MEA spokesperson said that “cosmetic” steps were not going to “fool” India. The steps against the terror outfits were undertaken just days after Pakistan faced the heat at the FATF (Financial Action Task Force) and barely escaped from being blacklisted. Pakistan faced the threat of getting blacklisted after FATF pointed out that it had neither investigated nor taken action against UN proscribed terrorists like Hafiz Saeed. The spokesperson pointed out that Pakistan had failed to act against underworld don and terror mastermind Dawood Ibrahim who is accused of funding the 1993 Mumbai blasts that killed hundreds of Indians and foreigners.

Chief of Army Staff General Bipin Rawat at an event to commemorate 20 years of Operation Vijay, India's limited war against Pakistan in Kargil at the Manekshaw Centre in Delhi Cantonment on July 5 said Pakistan will not dare to attempt to infiltrate India like it did Kargil in 1999 because it has seen the consequences, reports Times of India. He asserted "There is no such area that we have left unguarded. Our surveillance team is keeping a tight watch and regularly patrolling the areas. We don't think Pakistan will attempt something like that (as during Kargil) because they have seen the consequences... I can clearly say, in coming days and years, Pakistan will not dare to attempt any infiltration."

The Supreme Court (SC) put an end to the controversy surrounding the killing of former Gujarat Home Minister Haren Pandya in 2003 by declaring that he was killed as part of an international terror plot by 12 persons following the 2002 Gujarat riots, reports DNA on July 6. By doing so, the SC dismissed the demand for a fresh probe made in a PIL filed by NGO Centre for PIL with a cost of INR 50,000 to be deposited with the lawyers' welfare fund of the SC. Though the trial court did not doubt the claim of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that Pandya was killed as part of a terror plot hatched in Gujarat and Hyderabad with help from non-state actors in Pakistan, the case had an interesting twist in August 2011 when the Gujarat High Court disbelieved the prosecution story and acquitted nine out of the 12 convicted persons for the murder of Pandya.

There has been increasing unease over a counterfeiting threat to an earlier series of INR 100 notes in the post-demonetization period, reports First Post on July 7. However, freshly minted INR 2,000 and INR 500 Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) detected in the banking channel last year (2018) are of low quality, reveals an intelligence analysis. While suggesting more sophisticated security features for INR 100 notes, the Central Economic Intelligence Bureau asked the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to adopt more effective anti-counterfeiting measures with the highest security features and texture in printing currency. It has also called for strengthening counterfeit detection systems at banks. Over 1.13 lakh notes in denominations of INR 100 were detected in the banking channel during the first six months of 2018, while 12,000 notes of the new INR 2,000 denomination and 8,000 notes of the INR 500 denomination were unearthed by banks. Between January and June 2018, a total of 32,000 notes of the INR 2,000 denomination were seized. Intelligence sources claimed that counterfeiters, despite using high-quality printers, are finding it difficult to copy security features of the new INR 500 and INR 2,000 notes. Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), which produces FICNs to disrupt India's financial system, has made Bangladesh as its main base to supply counterfeit notes. An analysis of seized FICNs reveals that the ink and paper used by the ISI is of a high quality. Some recent seizures indicated that fake Indian currency was also printed on cigarette paper. The intelligence collected so far has identified at least six Districts bordering Bangladesh that have become important transit points for circulating FICNs to various cities in the country using cash couriers. Around 88 FIRs (First Information Reports) in West Bengal and 60 FIRs in Assam have been filed in this regard. Malda, Uttar Dinajpur and Murshidabad in West Bengal; and Dhubri and Barpeta in Assam have turned into hubs for smugglers of FICN. Among these, Dhurbri and Malda have seen the highest number of such crimes. Since people on both sides of the border are very poor, law enforcement agencies are facing a tough time in convincing them to co-operate in disrupting the smugglers' network.

According to a foreign intelligence agency source, a nexus of Pakistani spy agency Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI), a Britain based newly formed jihadist front named Astha (Faith), Islamic State (IS) and most wanted underworld leader Dawood Ibrahim's notorious terror gang are plotting series of terrorist attacks inside India during Independence Day (August 15), reports Asian Tribune on July 8. Recently, Astha, which already had links with Hizb-ul-Mujahideen (HM) has established links with fugitive terrorist Paresh Barua of United Liberation Front of Assam (ULFA). Founder of Astha, Mohammad Shahid Uddin Khan sponsored a secret meeting between Salauddin, the current leader of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Paresh Barua and Ghulam Rahman of HM along Nepal-China border. During this meeting, they reportedly discussed terrorist attacks inside India while Paresh Barua has been assigned to arrange required explosives and detonators. Accordingly, an amount equivalent to USD 400,000 was transferred to a person named Gao in Xinjiang province in China, from Shahid Uddin Khan's representative in Dubai (UAE). It is learned that consignments of explosives and detonators will be shipped inside India through Indo-China border during the second week of July. Khan also has reportedly contacted a Kolkata (West Bengal) based transport company for handling the shipment of explosives and detonators. One of the owners of this transport company is linked to Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader. For the past few years, Dawood has been expanding his network within Malaysia, Thailand and the UAE through Aziz Mohammad Bhai, who belongs to Ismailiya community. It may also be further mentioned that Aziz Bhai is one of the top three figures in Dawood's trans-national money laundering activities.

A bill which seeks to allow an individual suspected to have terror links to be designated as a 'terrorist' was introduced in Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) on July 8, reports India Today. Minister of State for Home G Kishan Reddy, who introduced the bill on behalf of Union Home Minister (UHM) Amit Shah, said when the United Nations (UN) can name Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) ‘chief’ Hafiz Saeed as a terrorist, why can't India do the same with such people. Asserting that the Government believes in "zero tolerance" towards terrorism, the Minister said a provision is needed to designate "individual terrorist" in the law. Rejecting claims that there was no pre-legislative consultation, the Minister said the draft bill was uploaded (perhaps on the Home Ministry website) in December 2016. However, opposing the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Bill, 2019, opposition parties claimed that in the name of tackling terror, fundamental rights of an individual cannot be foregone.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) investigators suspect that the arrested Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) militant, Habibur Rehman SK and three of his aides were planning another terrorist attack in India, reports The New Indian Express on July 9. Earlier, the NIA recovered explosives at a house in Chikkabanavara near Soladevanahalli in Bengaluru District of Karnataka following the arrest of Habibur Rehman. Based on Rehman’s statement, NIA officials searched a house in Chikkabanavara on July 7 and recovered five half-prepared ‘tiffin box grenades’ and other substances such as capacitors and resistors used in making IEDs (Improved Explosive Devices). A senior Police official said that the NIA was most likely to take over the investigation soon. “Investigations have revealed that Rehman stayed in the house for just two days with his aides, who are presently absconding. It is also suspected that Rehman, an accused in Burdwan blast case, and his aides were getting ready to carry out another terror strike, going by the preparations,” the official said. Meanwhile, the Internal Security Division (ISD) officials are on the lookout for the three terror suspects, based on Rehman’s statements.

India’s Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), Syed Akbaruddin, on July 9, at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) meet, highlighted the link between terrorism and organised crime and explained how the co-existence and mutation of the two can pose a major threat to international peace and security, reports Zee News. Syed Akbaruddin said, “In our region, we have seen the mutation of Dawood Ibrahim’s criminal syndicate into a terrorist network known as the D-Company. D-Company’s illegitimate economic activities may be little known outside, but for us, such activities as gold smuggling, counterfeit currency, arms and drug trafficking from a safe haven that declines to acknowledge even his existence, are a real and present danger.” “Success of collective action to denude ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) is a pointer that Council’s focused attention can and does yield results. A similar degree of interest in addressing threats posed by proscribed individuals, such as Dawood Ibrahim and his D-Company as well as proscribed entities, including the Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Toiba, listed as affiliates of Al-Qaeda, under the 1267 sanctions regime, will serve all of us well,” said the senior diplomat. Akbaruddin was speaking at an open debate on 'Threats to International Peace and Security: Linkages between International Terrorism and Organised Crime'.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) Court in Kochi (Ernakulam District of Kerala) on July 9 resumed trial against Subahani Haja Moideen, who allegedly fought for Islamic State (IS) in Iraq in 2015, reports The New Indian Express. The NIA Court examined a witness in the case registered against Subahani Haja Moideen. Though the trial in the case was started at NIA Court last year (2018), it was postponed as witness examination in Kanakamala IS case was progressing. There are 55 witnesses in the case. It was during the investigation into the Kanakamala IS case that the NIA traced out Subahani who allegedly joined and fought for IS at Mosul in 2015. However, after witnessing the death of a co-fighter on the war front, he returned to India. In December 2018, a French investigation team visited Viyyur Central Jail (Thrissur District) to quiz Subahani as part of probe into the 2015 Paris attack. NIA had shared information with French authorities that Subahani fought for Omer-Kathi-Kaliph.

There is a declining trend in the circulation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICNs) in the country, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman informed Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) on July 15, reports Business Standard. "The data as reported by RBI and seizure of Fake Indian Counterfeit Notes (FICN) by state police and other agencies as reported by National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) reveal that there is a declining trend in the circulation of FICN in the country," she said in a written reply. Sitharaman, however, said West Bengal Police reported that the flow of FICNs continues from the Indo-Bangladesh border, particularly in the Malda area (Malda District of West Bengal). "However, all such FICNs were of low quality i.e. computer generated or manipulated," the Minister noted. She also said after the withdrawal of the legal tender status of INR 1,000 and INR 500 currency notes on November 8, 2016, there have been no reported cases of seizure of High Quality FICNs of INR 2,000 and INR 500 denomination till early 2019. "As such, there does not appear to be any appreciable loss now," she said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probe into the Islamic State (IS) terror module in Tamil Nadu revealed the terror sleeper cell’s links with the banned outfit Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports Times Now on July 17. Earlier NIA conducted raids in several locations after 14 persons were deported from the UAE on July 15 for allegedly raising funds to establish an IS unit in India. The NIA also questioned the prime accused in the case, identified as Syed Bukhari, who is believed to be a former cadre of SIMI and is the president of an outfit called Wahadat-e-Islam, which is supposedly an offshoot of the banned outfit SIMI. Bukhari was currently in Kochi (Ernakulam District of Kerala) for further questioning. According to sources, Wahadat-e-Islam was registered as a ‘social organisation’ from Saharanpur in Saharanpur District of Uttar Pradesh in 2006. The president of the organisation, Syed Bhukari is a businessman. The organisation has held several meetings across Tamil Nadu. Ever since it was established in Tamil Nadu, the group had been under the radar of intelligence agencies. However, the outfit has denied having any connection with SIMI, with its leaders claiming that it was only a religious and social organisation.

The NIA who had recovered electronic gadgets, including mobile phones and laptops, after raiding the residences and offices of some members of the ‘Shahadat (martyrdom) is our goal’ WhatsApp group, have sent them to the Knowledge Resource Centre (KRC), a division of the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), for retrieval of data, reports The Hindu on July 18.

The accused were active in an exclusive WhatsApp group and had conspired to raise funds to procure arms to eliminate those who spoke against Islam. The NIA initially believed that the accused were ‘novices’ who made a vain bid to procure a pistol, but detailed investigation revealed that they had established a strong network with Coimbatore-based Kaja Mohideen, leader of a radical outfit, who believed in setting up a unit of the IS in India, sources said.

The 16 arrested members of Tamil Nadu-based radical Islamist outfit ‘Ansarulla’ busted by National Investigation Agency (NIA) last week, were inspired by global jihadi groups like Islamic State (IS), al Qaeda and homegrown terrorist outfit Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports The Times of India.

Terror camps across the border in Pakistan are being used to train pro-Khalistani members, Indian intelligence agencies inform the Central Government and Security Forces (SFs), reports DNA on July 20. “There are around 20 to 25 pro-Khalistani members in the camps getting arms and bomb-making training. There are also 30 new recruits of Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba undergoing training. Both the groups are kept together,” the intelligence agencies have said in a message to security establishments. They have also shared the locations of the camps on the other side of the Line of Control (LoC). A senior officer called it a disturbing development. He said never have such a large number of pro-Khalistani members been given arms training. The officer said that India’s ban on the US-based secessionist group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), which supports the idea of Khalistan, has also an impact in Pakistan, with “more youths talking about Khalistan and of joining the terror groups”.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is working closely with Islamic State (IS) in Afghanistan and has drawn up plans with the Pakistan Army to target Indian and United States (US) assets and interests in the war-torn country, sources said on July 22, reports Hindustan Times. During a recent meeting between LeT operatives and a team of Pakistan Army and the country’s spy agency Inter- Services Intelligence (ISI) in Jaba area of Dangam District in Kunar Province of Afghanistan, the terror group was directed to attack Indian and US assets, the people, including intelligence officials and diplomats in New Delhi and Washington, said on condition of anonymity. LeT commanders were tasked to carry out different types of attacks, including with suicide bombers sent from Pakistan, they added. The move comes at a time when Pakistan is under intense pressure from the US and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to crack down on LeT and other groups such as Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM). LeT founder Hafiz Saeed was recently arrested on terror financing charges in Pakistan. This also coincides with reports by the Pentagon and a United Nations (UN) panel about the presence of hundreds of LeT cadres in Afghanistan. The Pentagon report put the number of LeT operatives at 300, while the UN report said 500 fighters are active in Kunar and Nangarhar Provinces alone. “LeT’s presence in Afghanistan has been observed to be steadily on the rise. According to recent inputs, Hafiz Saeed’s son Talha Saeed is taking more interest in operational affairs in Afghanistan,” said an official who didn’t want to be named. The information on LeT activities has been shared with the US and Afghanistan.

According to a charge sheet filed by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in a Mumbai court, members of an "Islamic State (IS)-inspired" terror group arrested from Maharashtra in January 2019 for allegedly planning mass killing at a temple were inspired by speeches of controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, reports India Today on July 24.

But al Qaeda ‘remains resilient”, although there are questions about its leader Ayman al-Zawahiri’s health and the group’s succession plan, report said.
