On October 3, inaugurating a two-day conference of directors-general and inspectors-general of police in New Delhi, the Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said that the intelligence agencies of States were not strong and adequate enough to meet the challenges of terrorism, reports Times of India. Patil said special branches in States should be strengthened where men and officers are retained for sufficient periods with enough incentives to keep them motivated. Expressing his concerns about the low police-population ratio in the country, he said, “Police-to-population-ratio in India is very low. Therefore, conscious efforts are needed to improve the situation by augmenting the state police force and filling up vacancies at different levels.” He further said that the presence of terrorist sleeper cells in mega cities was one of the major concerns of the government. These sleeper cells, which were often funded with fake currency, had the capacity to become active at their will, Patil said. These cells had developed an effective mechanism to go under the radar of intelligence agencies, he added.

On October 4, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, speaking at the annual conference of Directors and Inspectors-General of Police in New Delhi, said that the internal security situation in the country continued to “remain a cause of concern”. Referring to the terrorist attacks in Hyderabad and the Naxalite (left-wing extremist) violence, Dr. Singh said these pointed to the formidable challenges faced by the country. “Violent incidents continue in some states of the North-East, particularly in Assam, Manipur and Nagaland. The ethnic overtones of violent acts in Assam are particularly disturbing. While the situation in Jammu & Kashmir has shown some overall improvement, violent incidents keep recurring,” he said. He called on top police officials to pay equal attention to the concerns of ordinary citizens, in addition to combating the high-profile challenges of terrorism, naxalism and separatist violence. He said, “While some of it could be a result of personal frustration, some of it also arises out of dissatisfaction over the functioning of the law enforcement and justice systems.” The Prime Minister underlined the need for an all-round improvement in training, skills, equipment, resources and attitude among the police personnel.

The intelligence and police in the West Bengal have unearthed definitive evidence of collaboration of resources between the two ideologically divergent extremist organisations, the CPI-Maoist and the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), reports Daily News & Analysis. Recently, the Nadia district police conducted raids in Bansberia, Hijuli, Sitanathpur, Govindapur and Purkugachi in search of Maoists and during the course several documents were seized indicating close links between the HuJI militants and Maoists. According to the Intelligence Bureau (IB) officials, the seized documents also hint at similar tie-ups in other districts like South 24-Parganas and North 24-Parganas. Explaining the rationale behind collaboration between the Maoists and religious fundamentalists, senior IB officials said, “The Maoists, desperate to extend their network, are trying to use the local network of HuJI in to extend their reach.” Districts like Nadia, North 24-Parganas and South 24-Parganas, shares the borders with Bangladesh, have been found to be the hotbed of the two extremist outfits.

Sadeeq claimed that the top PLA and LeT leadership was in frequent contact with each other through latest channel of communications including internet and mobile telephones. Commanders of the two outfits, if required, also meet in some selected areas of Uttar Pradesh, he revealed. According to him, no LeT militant either from Kashmir or from Pakistan has been deputed in North East so far mainly for the fear of their identification and language problem. Though similar was the problem for North East militants in Jammu and Kashmir too but some of them were deputed by the PLA to Kashmir with the assurance that they would operate in the upper reaches only. He stated that the PLA and LeT had come close to each other only in 2006 after receiving instructions from the ISI.

On October 8, the Special Court awarded sentences to 35 accused in the February 14, 1998 Coimbatore serial bomb blasts case, reports The Hindu. The accused were convicted for offences such as unlawful assembly for rioting, harbouring a wanted criminal, attempt to murder under the Indian Penal Code, possession and manufacture of explosives under the Explosives Substances Act of 1908 and for possession of unauthorised weapons without licence under section 25 (1) (b) of the Indian Arms Act. Sentences for the accused, including four from Kerala and two from Andhra Pradesh, ranged from one year and nine months to 17 years of rigorous imprisonment for all offences put together. The court ordered that the sentences run concurrently, adding that the nine and a half years of trial period undergone in prison was being set off against the conviction. Hence, all of them were released. Awarding of sentences for seven other accused was deferred to October 15 for want of remand particulars from the Prison department. Judge Uthirapathy said the sentences for them would be pronounced along with five others not found guilty of major charges but were in judicial custody because of pending cases.

On October 16, the National Security Advisor (NSA) M. K. Narayanan stated that attempts have been made in Pakistan to revive Sikh extremism in Punjab. On board Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s aircraft, Narayanan told Indian Express, "There has been a manifest attempt in Pakistan to build up a radical Sikh environment. Sporadic blasts were creating sensation, but the desired effect of sustained tension was not working. We had intelligence about four to six months back that a lot of effort was going into attempts to foment militancy." He further said, "We have tracked intelligence information, we have studied the way such attacks take place and we can read a pattern. We have also seen signs of resuscitation of militant groups in Canada, US and Germany. We had been bracing for such a move by such elements." The NSA, however, ruled out that there is any links between the recent series of explosions. "There is no connection between the blasts in Ludhiana, Ajmer and Mecca Masjid (Hyderabad), other than the fact that the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence)’s involvement is suspected, that is the common link", Narayanan said.
