Expressing "disappointment" over the release of Saeed, the External Affairs Ministry spokesman Vishnu Prakash said: "It is regrettable that notwithstanding this background and the international obligations it entails on Pakistan, he has been released." He said Saeed’s release "raises serious doubts over Pakistan’s sincerity in acting with determination against terrorist groups and individuals operating from its territory". Prakash noted that Saeed is the head of JuD and LeT, which are listed by the UN under UNSC Resolution 1267 as being affiliates of Al Qaeda and the Taliban. "Hafiz Saeed is specifically listed as linked to these terrorist groups," he said, adding "the Lashkar-e-Toiba and the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa have a long and well established background of planning and launching terrorist acts against India. His professed ideology and public statements leave no doubt as to his terrorist inclinations".

India on June 2 strongly objected to Pakistan’s attempt to link the Kashmir issue to terrorism in the region and maintained that bilateral dialogue would resume only when Islamabad creates conditions for it, Daily Excelsior reported. "It (terrorism) has nothing to do with Kashmir. Terror whether it is in Kashmir, in Mumbai or elsewhere, it is abominable," External Affairs Minister S. M. Krishna told reporters in New Delhi. He was responding to Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani’s remarks that Kashmir issue "holds the key to durable peace in the region" and said that it must be resolved through "sincere dialogue". Krishna pointed out that Kashmir is a part of the composite dialogue that India had initiated with Pakistan. "Now it is in Pakistan’s court to create conditions for the dialogue to be resumed," he stated. The composite dialogue, which began in January 2004, was suspended by India after the 26/11 attacks carried out by the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists based in Pakistan.

Responding to the release of Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD, the LeT front) chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, Krishna said it demonstrates Pakistan’s lack of seriousness to fight terror and raises serious doubts about its commitment to probe the Mumbai attack. "It is regrettable that Pakistan has released Hafiz Saeed who has been part of terror outfits in Pakistan. The organisation (JuD) with which he has connections has been declared terrorist organisation by the United Nations Security Council," he said while reacting to the development in Lahore. "This only shows that Pakistan’s seriousness to fight against terror is still under a cloud," he said.

Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said: "It is a commentary on the commitment of Pakistan to investigate the perpetrators of the Mumbai attack." Commenting on Saeed’s release, he said "We are unhappy that Pakistan does not show the degree of seriousness and commitment that it should to bring to justice perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attack." He, however, underlined that the development will not cause any setback to India’s investigations into 26/11. Saeed was put under house arrest on December 11, 2008 after the UN Security Council banned the JuD, declaring it a front for the Lashkar-e-Toiba, which is blamed by India for the November 26 Mumbai attacks.

Police sounded a high alert in Hyderabad, capital of Andhra Pradesh, following a tip-off from the Intelligence Bureau (IB) that three Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorists had infiltrated into the country to carry out a major terrorist attack in a South Indian city, reports The Hindu. The specific advisory from the IB mentioned that three Pakistani nationals had crossed the border in Jammu and Kashmir on June 1 and had started their journey from Srinagar in a Tata Sumo vehicle. The weapons to be used by them would be delivered to them in Hyderabad, the city Police were told. The three terrorists were identified as Sharif Ahmed Bhatti alias Abu Masab (23), Nazeer Ahmed alias Abu Jahangir (31) and Mohammed Ahmed alias Abu Jharkavi (21). They were likely to arrive in the city by the Deccan Express train.

Madini reportedly disclosed that he infiltrated into India recently on a ‘talent hunt’. Madini had allegedly been directed by his LeT leaders to create a large network of operatives in major cities through whom deadly attacks could be carried out in the future. His job was to spot talent, cultivate them, initiate them to join the outfit and fight for its cause.

The Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) cadre arrested on June 4, Mohammad Omar Madani, reportedly ran a logistical hub that funnelled dozens of militants through Nepal to targets across in India, Delhi Police sources told The Hindu. Working with fugitives like LeT commander Mohammad Saifullah, the Bihar-born Nepal national Madani provided LeT operatives with passports, cash and communications facilities that allowed them to travel from Pakistan to India through Kathmandu and then secure their escape. Fahim Arshad Ansari, who is now being tried on charges of having generated the videotape that facilitated the training of the perpetrators of November 26, 2008 attacks in Mumbai, is among those alleged to have benefited from the logistical infrastructure Madani helped set up. Sabahuddin Ahmed, Ansari’s immediate superior and the first Indian national to have commanded a LeT’s field unit, also used the Lashkar’s transit hub.

The Orissa Police have asked the Coast Guard to patrol the State's 480-long coastline during the annual Rath Yatra (Car Festival) of Lord Jagannath at Puri on June 24, reports Times of India. The move, part of enhanced security preparedness for the famous festival, has been influenced by the Centre's advice to States to step up Policing along the coast. Orissa's coast is reportedly unmanned with only a thin security presence. But, with a view to prevent entry of subversive elements to the pilgrim town during the Rath Yatra attended by millions of devotees, the top Police brass has requested the Coast Guard to remain extra vigilant, said the Inspector General of Police Arun Sarangi on June 5. "We are taking all possible steps to ensure peaceful celebration of Rath Yatra,'' he added.

In order to tighten maritime security, the Centre is planning to substantially increase the number of coastal Police Stations along the country’s 7,516 kilometre coastline besides increasing the areas under "No-Fishing Zone" around vital installations, including nuclear establishments, coastal dams and minor and major ports, reports Times of India. The matter was discussed at a meeting chaired by the Union Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta on June 10 when coastal security was reviewed. The meeting also reviewed steps taken for better coordination among different organisations — Navy, Coast Guard, Marine Police of States — besides the intelligence agencies to increase security vigil. Sources in the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said that Navy and Coast Guard were asked to provide assistance to States in recruiting and training executive and technical staff for coastal Police stations. Besides, the States and Union Territories (UTs) were asked to ensure availability of the required infrastructure and trained manpower for handling and upkeep of interceptor boats. The meeting focused on firming up additional requirements of coastal States and UTs based on vulnerability or gap analysis in consultation with the Coast Guard, for the purpose of formulating the proposed Phase II of the Coastal Security Scheme. In addition, officers also reviewed the status of implementation of other linked initiatives such as registration for fishing and other vessels, installation of communication equipment on these boats and uniform system of issuance of identity cards to fishermen. Sources said that the Gujarat Government has been asked to notify two of the dams located in the State as important installations as soon as possible. The issue of possible attempts by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres to enter southern States also figured in the meeting, they added.

The Delhi Police filed three supplementary charge sheets in a court on June 12 against three suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) cadres, Mansoor Asghar Peerbhoy, Mobin Kader Sheikh and Asif Bashir Sheikh, for reportedly sending terror e-mails to media houses prior to the serial bomb blasts on September 13, 2008, reports Indian Express. The charge sheets were filed in the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, after the Police completed their investigation into the roles of Peerbhoy and his associates. Peerbhoy, a computer engineer who had worked for Yahoo Inc, along with Asif and Mobin, had entered into criminal conspiracy with other IM cadres for carrying out the blasts, the Police said. Peerbhoy, reportedly the head of the IM’s media cell, used to hack Wi-Fi networks while Mobin, a graduate in Computer Science, drafted the mails, which were then translated from Urdu into English by Asif before being sent to media houses, the Police confirmed. The accused are facing prosecution under various provisions of the Indian Penal Code, Explosive Substances Act, Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and the Information and Technology Act.

The Special Sessions Court trying the Mumbai terror attacks case on June 23 issued a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against 22 of the 35 wanted accused, including the Jama’at-ud-Da’awa (JuD, the Lashkar-e-Toiba [LeT] front) chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, who was released in Pakistan recently, The Hindu reported. Judge M. L. Tahaliyani granted the prosecution plea on the ground that most of the accused found mention in the confessional statement of lone captured LeT terrorist Mohammad Ajmal Amir alias Kasab. Other pieces of evidence include phone records of CallPhonex. Besides, the accused were charged with conspiring to wage a war against the Government of India. “Almost all are citizens of Pakistan or are at least residing in that country,” the court noted on the basis of the addresses provided by the prosecution. Special Public Prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam referred to Kasab’s statement to cite the involvement of the 22 accused in the conspiracy. Most of them were shown to have played the role of trainers. Saeed was a professor, who led the JuD and visited a training camp before 26/11, Nikam told the court. Zaki-Ur-Rehaman Lakhvi was the ‘operations commander’, Abu Hamza, the training in-charge, Abu Al Kama and Muzammil, the ‘area commanders’, Zarar Shah, in-charge of the publicity wing, and Abu Mufti Saeed, the president of the Muridke training camp. The money trail led to Mohammad Ishfak, who paid $250 in the name of Kharak Singh. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) records showed the name of a Col. R. Saadat Ullah. Abu Kaahfa, Abdul Rehaman Chota, Abu Abdur Rehman, Abu Fahad Ullah, Abu Anas, Abu Bashir, Abu Imran, Abu Umar Saeed, Sajid Iftikhar, Khurram Shahdad, Abu Mavia, and Abu Hanjila Pathan were the remaining accused against whom warrants were issued. The addresses of the conspirators spanned the provinces of Punjab and the North West Frontier Province. The locations included Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir, Gujranwala, Sheikhupura, Lahore, Muridke, Mansehra, Multan, Peshawar and Rawalpindi. Saeed hailed from Lahore’s Johar town. The 22 warrants will be addressed to the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai, and the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation for execution. The CBI’s Interpol wing will then coordinate with Interpol, Pakistan, and seek its help to arrest and produce the accused before the court.
