According to the chargesheet filed by the Mumbai Police on February 25, maps of target locations of the November 26, 2008 Mumbai attacks were handed over to the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) commanders in Nepal, reports The Hindu on March 3. Nepal was chosen for exchanging the maps because it was a rendezvous point for the LeT, said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria, adding, with no visa restrictions on the entry of Indians into Nepal, it was a convenient transit venue for the outfit’s activities. The role of two Indian nationals, Fahim Ansari and Mohammad Sabahuddin, is the only instance of local involvement in the case as per the chargesheet. Nine maps were prepared by Ansari, which were handed over to Sabahuddin in Kathmandu in Nepal some time in January 2008. The latter in turn passed them on to LeT operatives, identified as Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Abu Kaahfa. The chargesheet states: “Both the arrested accused, viz. Fahim Mohammed Yusuf Ansari and Sabahuddin, were in constant touch with each other through e-mail messenger. Sabahuddin is termed as a very important functionary of the LeT in India.”

According to the Rediff Website, a team of the Research and Analysis Wing (R and AW) tracked down an absconding accused in the Bangalore serial blasts case in Muscat, and sneaked him out of Oman, since India doesn't have an extradition treaty with that country. Sarfaraz Nawaz, 32, who allegedly played a major role in financing the Bangalore blasts, had reportedly sought refuge in Muscat. Investigating officials told Rediff that an R and AW team managed to track down Nawaz in Muscat. They added that Nawaz was 'smuggled into' Bangalore on a chartered aircraft and the Bangalore Police are currently questioning him. Abdul Sattar, the prime accused in the case, had revealed Nawaz's role in the serial blasts during his interrogation. Nawaz was reportedly close to Riyaz Bhatkal, a key Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative, who later took over the charge of the Indian Mujahideen.

On March 6, the Kolkata Police arrested a suspected Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) explosives expert, identified as Abu Taher alias Mohammad Zakaria, at Sealdah railway station when he was stepping out of Lalgola Passenger train, reports Telegraph. Taher confessed that he had fled to Rajshahi in Bangladesh in 1997 after carrying out low-intensity blasts in Delhi, Ludhiana in Punjab and Rohtak in Haryana. Taher is reportedly close to the LeT’s Bangladesh chief, Abdul Karim Tunda, who had sent him to LeT headquarter in Muridke near Lahore in Pakistan to be trained in handling explosives. Officers said the suspect had entered Murshidabad in West Bengal from Bangladesh in earlier this week. He was apparently booked on a north India-bound train, raising suspicion of a secret mission.

Hindustan Times reports that an important Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) leader, Sarfaraz Navaz, who reportedly funded the Bangalore serial bomb blasts on July 25, 2008, confessed during his interrogation that the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) was behind the July 25, 2008 Bangalore bomb blasts. Sarfaraz, who hails from Ernakulam in Kerala, was earlier arrested by the Research and Analysis Wing (R and AW) from Muscat in Oman on March 3. He was sent to Police custody till March 14. According to Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari, Sarfaraz collected about INR 320000 from like-minded people ahead of the bomb blasts. He also took part in reconnaissance of various spots and attempted to send a suspected terrorist involved in the blast across the border to train with the LeT in Pakistan. “Sarfaraz has links with LeT and has been in touch with Wali a.k.a. Rehan, a key member of LeT. We are sure that some more men will be picked up based on information provided by him,” the Commissioner said. Sarfaraz reportedly completed a three-year course (1995-98) at Nadwat-ul-Ulema (Institute of Islamic Scholarship) in Lucknow and joined as office secretary at the SIMI head office in New Delhi in 2000. Subsequently, he kept in touch with SIMI leaders from Kerala as he traveled to Muscat and Oman for work.

The Union Government on March 18 sent out a fresh advisory to all State Governments to increase security at political rallies and meetings, especially those where leaders were going to be present. In a message sent to the Directors General of Police, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said all necessary steps like securing neighbouring high-rise buildings, manual frisking, putting door-framed metal detectors and total sanitisation of the location must be carried out in letter and spirit at all rallies where top leaders would attend. The ministry also asked States to ensure installation of CCTV cameras at rallies and political meetings, all over the venue and not merely at the dais. Besides, political parties have also been asked to pass all information pertaining to travel plan and rallies of prominent leaders to the State Police concerned. Sources in the MHA said the state Police would, in turn, pass on the information to the Centre for coordination with intelligence and security agencies. The Multi-Agency Centre will also coordinate with subsidiaries in the States, which receive information from their intelligence agencies.

Two civilians, identified as trader Sanatan Das (27) and Akhil Adhikary (58), were killed and at least 17 others were injured when a powerful bomb strapped to a bicycle exploded at a busy marketplace in the Alipurduar town of Jalpaiguri District on March 18, reports Indian Express. Police suspected the involvement of Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) - its “10th batch trained in Bangladesh - and the United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) in the blast to destabilize North Bengal before the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Parliament) election, adds Times of India. “The blast was feared because KLO has been regrouping for the past few months,” said an intelligence officer. The District Superintendent of Police also admitted that the KLO could be behind the attack. “The outfit has recruited more than 200 cadres in the last few months and trained them in Bangladesh in 10 batches,” said a Crime Investigation Department official.

According to Express Buzz, the Union Government has alerted the Kerala State Police of the possible infiltration of about 15 cadres of the Bangladesh-based Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) outfit into India through the southern sea shores by the end of March 2009. ‘‘The message came from the Ministry of Home Affairs and we had immediately alerted all the agencies concerned, including the Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Enforcement,’’ said a top Police officer. According to intelligence inputs received by the State intelligence wing, about 30 suspected JMB militants, aged less than 28, have landed in Negombo area of Sri Lanka recently. About 10 to 15 of these cadres were reportedly located in Udappuwa, about 40 kilometres north of Negombo. The leader of the group is said to be Moosa Jaleel alias Ravi, a narcotic smuggler, who was providing logistic support to the group in Sri Lanka. Jaleel is also known to be operating from Kerala and Tamil Nadu coasts.’ ‘‘These 10 to 15 cadres were likely to land on Indian shores shortly, commencing their voyage from Negombo. The initial boarding as well as landing along the Indian coast is likely to be using fishing boats. Another group, allegedly associated with the group, was located in Hyderabad and Mumbai,’’ stated an earlier security alert on March 20.
