The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) on March 3 said that the menace of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) has grown so much in border areas of India and Nepal that it has become a part of the local economy and even labourers are being paid in FICN, reports The Times of India. An unknown senior SSB officer said, "Around 20% of fake currency coming to India via Nepal is spent in Nepal itself. Part of this money is paid to labourers by contractors. It happens on the Indian side as well. These labourers cannot identify fake currency and end up losing it in due course. It's really hard on them."

Indian Mujahideen (IM) made attempts to spread communal hatred across India, according to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) chargesheet filed against IM 'India operations cheif' Yasin Bhatkal, The Times of India reports on March 7. The charge-sheet said that "investigation has established that in pursuance of the conspiracy, the operatives of IM have been making attempts to foment communal tension in different parts of India". Investigation by NIA found that during the June 2012 conflict in Assam, IM contributed to the flare-up by spreading text messages and online posts falsely claiming atrocities against Muslims. The outfit also spread text messages of hatred against the northeast community in Bangalore (Karnataka) which resulted in several students from the region being attacked. This operation was led by a new head of the outfit suspected to be in Pakistan. The charge-sheet details a chat between Bhatkal and his associate Afeef Mota (in Pakistan) on July 12, 2013 which talks about a certain member of the outfit having participated in spreading fake news about atrocities against Muslims at the hands of northeastern people. The charge-sheet said, "Yasin asked whether their new head had participated in any jihadi operation in India. It was revealed that he had sent SMSs to create panic in northeast region, people staying in Bangalore and other southern states and planned to create violence between groups in India by fake SMSs to avenge the assassination of some Rohingya Muslims."

A chargesheet filed by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has claimed that Indian Mujahideen (IM) had attempted putting in place a local module on the border of Jodhpur-Nagaur Districts in 2013, reported Hindustan Times on March 10. IM’s cadre Mohammad Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu had visited Jaipur and Jodhpur in June 2013 and had procured SIM cards on fake documents. The NIA chargesheet hinted that IM was planning to expand its base in Rajasthan. “There are vital clues that efforts were made to set up a module in Jodhpur and its surroundings areas. Akhtar alias Monu was assigned this job along with Waqas a native of Pakistan,” an unnamed Anti-Terrorism squad (ATS) official said. “Akhtar visited Jodhpur and Jaipur but there is no confirmation about formation of such module. It may be because efforts could not materialise after Bhatkal’s arrest”, said a senior official of Rajasthan ATS seeking anonymity. According to ATS sources, Akhtar and Waqas were close confidants of Bhatkal and were trained in Pakistan to carry out terror activities. After Bhatkal’s arrest the NIA alerted the ATS following which posters of Akhtar, Waqas, and Haidar Ali alias Abdullah were pasted at all public places across the State.

The fact, sources added, that terror outfits had zeroed down on UP and Bihar was not without reason. In fact, the reasons are both “tactical as well as political”, sources added.

Arrested Indian Mujahideen (IM) top operative Yasin Bhatkal during interrogation said that Pakistani spy agency, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), wanted IM chief Riyaz Bhatkal to convince his family in Karnataka to cross borders and join him in that country. Riyaz who felt the ISI proposed this in order to gain control over the terror outfit rebuffed the suggestion because his family had strong local roots. Riyaz was planning independent setting for his terror outfit with the help of Al Qaida so that they could not depend on ISI. Riyaz narrated an incident to Yasin that after bomb blast in Mumbai on July 13, 2011, the ISI had taken Bhatkal brothers into custody along with their associates and seized their phones. He said that ISI was upset because they were unaware about the blast plan and they didn't want the blast occurred at that point of time because India was mobilizing international political pressure to expose Pakistan's involvement in terror activities. The ISI freed them afterwards. Riyaz told Yasin that couple of time ISI persons had visited him and cautioned the IM. Riyaz told Yasin that the ISI pays them crore of rupees to run the terror outfit.

The central enforcement and intelligence agencies have commenced surveillance activities to curb high inflow Hawala (illegal money transaction) money in Kerala, New Indian Express reports on March 14.

In their estimation, hawala money is likely to flow from the Gulf countries to Malappuram, Kozhikode, Kollam, Kannur and Kasargod Districts. There are also possibilities of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) flowing to the state during this period through the Gulf countries, Nepal and Bangladesh borders.

Noted Muslim cleric Maulana Abdul Qavi, wanted by Police for the last ten years, was arrested by Ahmedabad’s Detection of Crime Branch (DCB) on March 23 night from New Delhi airport for alleged anti-national activities and having links with terror groups Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), according to Zee News. Qavi has been 'wanted' by DCB for the last ten years in a case under the Prevention of Terrorist Activities (POTA) Act. In their remand application submitted to Additional Prinicipal Judge Geeta Gopi, DCB cited several reasons for Qavi's remand. According to DCB, Qavi allegedly took part in the proxy war against India with direct or indirect support of Pakistan's Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) and other terror outfits to avenge post-Godhra riots. The DCB also alleged Qavi sent several youngsters to Pakistan-based training camps run by LeT and JeM to spread terror in India. These youngsters include Asghar Ali, an accused in Haren Pandya murder case, and Hyderabad-based most wanted terrorist Rasool Party who is absconding and believed to be in Pakistan. DCB further claimed 56 accused have been arrested since 2004 in the case for waging terror against the nation and 41 are still absconding. After hearing arguments presented by DCB, the court remanded Qavi to a 14-day Police custody which ends on April 7, 2014. Crime Branch Chief, Joint Commissioner of Police A.K. Sharma commented, “Qavi was wanted in the jihadi conspiracy from 2003 that has resulted in the murder of Haren Pandya, blasts in AMTS buses of Ahmedabad, tiffin box blasts and firing at Jagdish Tiwari. Of the two modules (Hyderabad and Gujarat) that worked behind the recruitment of Muslim boys for terrorism and execution of the conspiracy in Gujarat, Qavi was one of the chief accused who recruited boys on instructions of terrorist Sharif Khan who is now believed to be hiding in Pakistan”, reports Indian Express.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) issued a specific alert of a possible “human bomb” targeting a rally of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Prime Ministerial nominee Narendra Modi Financial Express reports on March 24. According to sources, the IB alert says the attack may be on the lines of assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi by the Liberation Tiger of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 1991. The “highly specific” input states that while Modi won’t be shot at, a suicide bomber may target him disguised as a supporter. The alert does not specify the gender of the likely bomber. “The agencies are also working on messages picked up from social networking sites coinciding with poll announcements,” said a senior official. The agencies suspect any assassination attempt would be most likely in Modi’s own constituencies of Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh) and Vadodara (Gujarat). The IB has issued inputs regarding the security protocol to several states, particularly Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Maharashtra. “We are keeping a live channel open with these states,” confirmed a senior intelligence official.

As reported earlier, Police on March 25 arrested one Barqat Ali who allegedly arranged explosives for Indian Mujahideen (IM) in Jodhpur, reports The Times of India. According to recent updates he was arrested along with other two. According to Police Commissioner Sachin Mittal, Ali was arrested from his home.

Jawed is a mason and Iqbal is a roadside vendor. "Both of them were lowest in the hierarchy of the group among those arrested so far and had the task of providing logistics to the module handlers," Mittal said. Police have found jehadi literature from their houses. Police faced a stiff resistance from neighbours of Barqat Ali during the raid at his home. Two Policemen were injured in stone pelting. All those arrested had well-defined tasks and they were clandestinely pursuing duties assigned by Saqib with dedication. "They had visited places like Lal Quila, Chandani Chowk, Palika Bazar, Taj Mahal and many other places following advice of their masters and had undergone the brainstorming sessions," Mittal said.

Barkat Ali, an alleged accomplice of suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorist Mohammad Sakib Ansari, was arrested in Jodhpur (Rajasthan) on March 25 (today), reports The Times of India. Ali had managed to give Police the slip on March 23 and several Police teams had swung into action to catch him. Barkat had managed to escape as he was tipped off by his accomplice Adil about the arrest of Ansari before Police could raid his house. Adil was later arrested and several incriminating materials were seized from his house. "We received information about his arrival at home this morning following which the police cordoned off his house and arrested him," a Police official said. Ali had allegedly supplied explosives and electronic detonating devices to Sakib, who was trained in making bombs and carrying out explosions by IM terrorist Zia Ur Rehman alias Waqas, who was arrested on March 22. In addition, The Times of India reports that a well-coordinated network of IM sleeping cell was in existence in Rajasthan for the past few months. "It was a completely different module of IM cropping up in Rajasthan. The three engineering students in Jaipur and Sabir in Jodhpur were in touch with each other. Mahroof and Sabir used to coordinate with Riyaz Bhatkal who is believed to be hiding in Karachi at the moment," said a source. Meanwhile, Waqas has confessed to undergoing intense training in Pakistan before he came to India to join IM, according to sources in the Delhi Police, NDTV reports on March 24. In 2010, Waqas allegedly underwent religious and weapons training in Pakistan for a year and was always motivated to carry out jihadi attacks. Waqas' first trainer was a man named Taj Mohammed, who agreed to train Waqas at Naushera of Khushab District in Punjab province of Pakistan, along with a group of boys aged between 15-20 years. The overall head trainer at Naushera was Abu Manzoor. Waqas was trained on how to use a G2 gun, AK-47 and INSAS rifles. After the first round of training or Daura-e-aam at Pakistan, he was then sent to Waziristan, where he was trained along with 20 other boys. After a month of gun training, he was sent for a special training on making explosives. Waqas has allegedly said that his trainers taught him to make Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) with locally available ingredients like ammonium nitrate, hydrogen peroxide and potassium chloride. In another 10 days he learnt how to make six different types of battery circuits.Finally, by September 2010, he came to India where he was received by Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu, who took him to meet Yasin Bhatkal, arrested IM 'India operations cheif'. Waqas has also confessed to taking part in Varanasi, Zaveri Bazaar, Dilsukhnagar blasts and Jama Masjid shoot out, say sources. The explosives were received Mangalore (Karnataka) and INR 1,00,000 in hawala (illegal money transaction) to buy the material and scooters on which the bombs were planted. In fact, Waqas had planted the bombs at Zaveri Bazaar himself. His image was captured on the CCTV, and Yasin Bhatkal had identified him in the footage to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) investigators. Indian Express reports on March 25, that Waqas told investigators that he had burnt two fingers while planting a bomb at Varanasi’s Sheetla Ghat in 2010 as its detonator exploded but he pretended to be a victim and escaped. Waqas, Police sources claimed, had told investigators that Yasin and he had taken an apartment on rent in Mumbai’s Byculla area before the attack and that he stayed in Mumbai for two months then. An Abdur Rehman alias Hashim Syed alias Hashim Pasha identified by Waqas as his Pakistani trainer, is suspected to be a former Pakistani military official Abdur Rehman Pasha first named by 26/11 accused David Headley during his interrogation by the NIA in 2010. Abdur Rehman Pasha has also been named by the US FBI as a key accused alongside Headley and Rana in a 2009 plot to attack the Danish newspaper Jyllands Posten in Copenhagen. He figures at number three in the list of 50 most wanted terrorists in India and has an Interpol red corner notice issued for his arrest on the request of Indian authorities. “Pasha has long been associated with operations in India. Headley believes that local Indian boys are involved in the Karachi setup,” the NIA said in its report. “Abdur Rehman is directly in touch with the top of brass of the Al Qaeda… has met Osama a number of times,” the NIA stated. The Times of India adds that sources said that IM's current leader in India, Tehsin Akhtar created this module. Waqas was entrusted with the task of teaching these students to put together IED. "The three engineering students were a perfect fit for the IM's Rajasthan module as it was very easy for them to learn how to put together bombs. It is a very technical task involving electricity circuits to time the explosions. The technical background of these three students helped them learn it fast," said an officer. He added that engineers have been found to be part of IM in the past too. In addition, an advanced team of highly trained Pakistani terrorists was going to enter India next month to assist IM disrupt the Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) polls, an intelligence officer claimed on the basis of the interrogation of Waqas. Among top leaders, Amir Reza Khan, Iqbal and Riyaz Bhatkal, Mirza Shadab Baig, Dr Shahnawaz, Bada Sajid and Afeef Mota, are still in Pakistan. However, there are many fresh recruits who could rise up the ladder in time. Further, Waqas had stayed for three days at a lodge in Bandra (West) before leaving for Rajasthan. Sources in the Delhi Police's Special Cell said that before coming to Mumbai, Waqas had been hiding in a safe house in Kerala for some time. "He took a train from Kerala to Mumbai, planning to go to Ajmer. We are interrogating him," said special cell commissioner SM Srivastava. Separately, all special division CID units in Tamil Nadu have been urged to keep tabs on activities of suspected fundamentalists following the arrest of Waqas and his accomplices, The Times of India reports on March 24. An un-named Police officer said, "IM men had earlier committed serial blasts in Bangalore and Hyderabad which are geographically close to Chennai."

Official of the Pune District administration attached the house of terror suspect Mohsin Chaudhary at Manisha Complex in Mitha Nagar area of Kondhwa on March 27, reports Indian Express. Mohsin, an alleged Indian Mujahideen operative, is wanted in many terror cases, including the German Bakery blasts of February 2010. He has been missing since 2008. His brother Akbar Choudhary, also alleged to be an IM operative, was earlier arrested in 2008. The Times of India adds on March 28 that investigations have found out that IM has already prepared the next leadership for the outfit, inspite of the arrest of Waqas and Tehseen Akhtar. At least two operatives who are fully trained, ready and close to the top bosses are out in the field to take reins of the outfit. While one of them, from Bihar, has been trained by Yasin Bhatkal and is said to be as sharp as Tehseen, another has been sent by Pakistan-based IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal. To make matters worse, Bodhgaya and Patna blast key accused Haidar Ali, who was indoctrinated by Tehsin, is yet to be caught. Further, Tehseen Akhtar during the interrogation told Police that he was entrusted with the job to smuggle Zahida Khanum, wife of IM 'India operations chief' Yasin Bhatkal, from Delhi to Nepal in the last week of August 2013. However, their plan could not materialize since Bhatkal himself was arrested on August 29 at the Indo-Nepal border and brought to Delhi.

A National Investigation Agency (NIA) team came to know that leader of a gang involved in inter-country movement of extremists might have a direct hand in the October 27, 2013, Patna (Bihar) bomb blasts, The Times of India reports on April 1. Two teams of the NIA and Intelligence Bureau (IB) are presently scanning the leads at Nadia and North 24-Parganas Districts to arrest the leader from West Bengal. Code words such as "ticket" or "chaloo" were used for pistol and "kalungi" for explosives, while the popular AK-47 assault rifle was addressed as "reservation" and "elaichi" for a detonator were frequently used. "The word 'kalungi' kept featuring in their conversations prior to the blasts in Patna," a source said. This revelation came after the arrest of Tehsin Akhtar alias Monu and Waqas. Sources also said that the main suspect had played a crucial role in delivering hawala (illegal money transaction) money that has funded numerous blasts in India. "We believe that this man, who prefers operating from North 24 Parganas, was close to Abdul Karim Tunda, the LeT operative who virtually sheltered terrorists of different organizations in Bangladesh," the source added.

Bhatkal wanted to train IM cadres in the use of such catapults in terror attacks. Bhatkal, said a Police officer, even got 1,000 such catapults made but the plan never materialised. Bhatkal told his interrogators that he returned to India in 2006 after completing his terror training in Pakistan. He stayed at a friend's place in Udipi, Karnataka, and worked at a cycle repairing shop. After the July 11, 2006, serial train blasts in Mumbai, Riyaz Bhatkal, IM founder, met Yasin in Udipi. Yasin brought some catapults from Dubai and wanted to replicate them in the country and distribute them among Muslims in Udipi. "He planned to distribute some 1,000 gulels," the officer said. Yasin tried to get the catapults made from a place called Arab Tabela in South Mumbai. He brokered a deal with a small-time blacksmith, Raju Bhai, who agreed to make a die-cast and 1,000 catapults for INR18,000. During this time, Yasin stayed at a guest house near Mumbai Central station for Rs100 a day. His partner, Abu Bhai, too stayed with him.
