A Thai court of appeal has overturned a lower court verdict of 2018 and denied senior D-Company operative, Munna Jhingada’s extradition to India, reports The Times of India on October 2. Jhingada served 16 years in prison in Thailand for an assassination attempt on underworld don Chotta Rajan. New Delhi was hopeful that his extradition would help it establish his boss Dawood Ibrahim’s presence in Pakistan. According to intelligence sources, it was Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) that prepared Jhingada’s Pakistani passport in the fake name of Mohammed Saleem to facilitate his visit to Thailand for executing the assassination of Chhota Rajan. Even after he reached Thailand for the assigned task, his protection was taken care of by the Embassy of Pakistan. After his conviction, ISI officials tried to get Jhingada’s sentence reduced through the Pakistani Embassy. India too made a formal request for Jhingada’s extradition, first in March 2012 and then on December 27, 2016. Jhingada was released on December 27, 2016 but immediately rearrested and imprisoned under Extradition Act.

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar on October 4 said Pakistan's request to the United Nations Security Council's (UNSC) anti-terror committee to allow Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed to get basic expenses exposes Islamabad's duplicity, reports The Times of India. The UNSC's sanctions committee last month had allowed Saeed to withdraw money from his bank account for basic expenses. "One country gives an application on behalf of a global terrorist to UN Security Council's Sanctions Committee that he should be given a pocket money. This is a weird situation," Kumar added.

India lost the case in the Thailand Court to extradite Munna Jhingada, an aide of Dawood Ibrahim Kasker, because Jhingada refused to give samples of his DNA and the court accepted Pakistan’s plea that he was a citizen of the country, leaving Jhingada free to return to D-company in Pakistan, reports Hindustan times on October 8. Legal system in Thailand does not allow drawing of samples without the subject’s consent, which meant the biological connection between Jhingada and his family in Mumbai could not be established.

Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI) is now printing Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) at their security printing press in Malir Halt, Karachi, reports weeklyblitz.net on October 9. One of the prominent distributors of ISI is Dawood Ibrahim Kasker’s D-company, which also operates from Karachi. For the first time, the FICN seized by Delhi Special Cell proves that ‘Optical Variable Ink’ used by India in printing INR 2000 notes has also been used by the Pakistan operatives. Another prominent security feature copied is the raised bleed lines printed on the extreme left and right side of the note. On August 24, 2019, a Special Cell team of Delhi Police arrested a D-company agent Aslam Ansari from Nehru place in Delhi and recovered FICN worth over INR 550,000. In the first glimpse, Police could not verify the authenticity of the INR 2000 notes as they carried almost all the security marks. Later the currency experts confirmed that notes seized by the Special Cell were high-quality FICN. Pakistan has been using this high-quality FICN to finance illicit activities and militant groups, including the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) reports devdiscourse.com on October 9. Pakistan has been misusing diplomatic channels in Nepal, Bangladesh and other countries to bring and distribute consignments of Fake Indian Currency Notes. In May 2019, a recently released D-company associate, Younus Ansari, was arrested with three Pakistani nationals at Kathmandu Airport in Nepal with a huge consignment of Indian currency totaling INR 76.7 million. On September 25, 2019, Dhaka Police seized FICN worth INR 4.95 million. A Dubai-based individual 'Salman Shera' had sent the parcel to Sylhet in Bangladesh, which was sent to Dhaka via a courier service 'SA Poribahan.' The original consignor Salman Shera is the son of Aslam Shera, ISI dealer in FICN, active since the late 1990s, said senior officials.

Legal adviser in India's Permanent Mission to the United Nations (UN) Yedla Umasankar on October 9 has condemned any direct or indirect financial assistance to terror groups by nations, including in defending criminal cases against them, reports News 18. The flow of resources meant to produce terror are required to be stopped by States for which collective inter-State efforts are required at regional and sub-regional levels. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has a significant role in setting global standards for preventing and combating terrorist financing and the UN needs to increase cooperation with such bodies, Umasankar said. He reiterated India's firm belief that the Comprehensive Convention against International Terrorism (CCIT) will provide a strong legal basis for the fight against terrorism and will be in the interest of all Member States to have a multilateral and collective dimension of counter-terrorism effort.

Amid heightened threats at the borders with Pakistan and China, the Indian Armed Forces has planned to procure load ferrying drones, slow moving Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) doubled up as missiles, and artificial intelligence based solutions to carry out surveillance at high altitude border areas, reports Economic Times on October 16. Some of the UAVs showcased can hit human targets. "It was a most preferred defence product during the meet and Indian Army has decided to procure as per need and requirement," said unnamed sources in the armed force. Indian Army also stated that the load ferrying drones would be very helpful in providing logistics during winters at high altitude when the roads are closed down due heavy snow making difficult to transport. Recently the Intelligence Bureau (IB) has submitted a detailed report to the Ministry of Defence and Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) citing the threat of Pakistan state actors sending drones to smuggle ammunitions into India.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is preparing a list of the 100 top drug lords in India and initiate action against them in the coming fortnight under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PITNDPS) Act, reports Hindustan Times on October 17. The decision to crack down comes after a marked increase in heroin trafficking through the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir. Since August 2018, there have been seizures of nearly 180 kilograms of heroin through the LoC. While Afghanistan and Pakistan remain the main suppliers to India, the Myanmar-Northeast axis is another major source of heroin and chemical drugs like Yaba, methamphetamines and ketamines. The trade is essentially controlled in India by the Israeli, Russian, Italian and Nigerian mafia. Just as heroin from Afghanistan is used to fund terror groups against India, a section of the Sikh community based in Canada supplies Colombian cocaine into India and onward to Australia. The route used by cocaine smugglers is South America to Canada and thereon to India through the Sikh diaspora. It is this group promoting secessionist activity against India, with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) encouraging the drug smuggling to fund terror. There has been an increase in maritime trafficking of heroin in the Arabian Sea for supplies to India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. This year alone, nearly 500 kilograms of heroin has been intercepted off the coast of Gujarat from a Pakistani boat meant for Sri Lanka. “The drug menace is huge in India with the country also being the number 2 supplier of drug precursors in the world. The time has come to take direct action against drug lords in India rather than chasing fixers and abusers,” said an unnamed senior NCB official.

Describing Pakistan as the "contemporary epicenter" of terrorism, the Vice President of India M Venkaiah Naidu said on October 25 that Islamabad must decisively abjure terrorism for its own good, for that of its neighbours and for the good of the world, reports The Times of India. Naidu noted that terrorism's capacity to inflict damage has multiplied with the diffusion of information technology, giving terrorist organisations offensive cyber capabilities. "The only way to fight this menace is to strengthen and implement, without exception, all existing international laws and mechanisms to combat terrorists and their enablers," he said, adding that there cannot be any justification for violent extremist ideologies and terrorist actions. "I call upon all our NAM partners to come together to forge a common front against terror in all its forms. We must do this by stepping up inter-agency coordination, exchanging information, and strengthening the existing legal framework by endorsing the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT) proposed by India in 1996. All this is really possible when we have a clear commitment to zero tolerance towards terrorism," Naidu further said.

Nagaland Postreports that 17 National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) leaders including former ‘kilo kilonser’ Hukavi Yeputhomi joined Naga National Political Group (NNPG) on October 25 in New Delhi. In a declaration Hukavi Yeputhomi stated that he along with his co-workers have decided to join the WC,NNPG on their own volition and with deep conviction at the “decisive hour for the Naga people” when an agreement was to have been inked with the government of India “without compromising on our history and identity’. Hukavi said though he was at the negotiating table till October 24, 2019, he realised that NSCN-IM) chief negotiator would “remain insensitive to our people’s plea for honourable and acceptable solution.” Hukavi said his decision was based on “our people’s desire for a peaceful co-existence between Nagaland and India.” Hukavi was received into NNPG by Neokpao Konyak and Kitovi Zhimomi. An NSCN-IM senior leader stated that Hukavi has defected to “one of the groups”. However, the leader also claimed that Hukavi was not a permanent member of NSCN-IM negotiation team. However, other sources stated that Hukavi was part of the 15-member NSCN (I-M) delegation, that held the crucial October 24 meeting in New Delhi. With just couple of days before the expiry of the three-month deadline, speculation is rife on whether the Government of India and NSCN (I-M) would be able to settle the Naga flag and constitution demand in the next meeting, tentatively, scheduled to be held on October 28 or October 29.

Islamic State (IS), had also tried to get a foothold in India first through Uttar Pradesh in 2016-17, reported Economic Times on. In May 2016 a purported IS video showed jihadists supposedly from India threatening to "return" to "avenge killing of Muslims in India". Two Indian Mujahideen (IM) operatives, Abu Rashid Ahmad and Mohammad 'Bada' Sajid from Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh District were identified amongst those featured in this video. The release of this video led the then Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) to intervene in the matter, announcing that the Centre was taking all steps to tackle the issue. The cause of concern for the Uttar Pradesh Police stemmed from arrest of two UP youths, Shakir and Rizwan, who were in touch with the IS through its social media network. Shakir was arrested by the Delhi Police on May 4, 2016 from Deoband in Saharanapur District for his alleged links with Jaish-e-Mohammed (JEM) while Rizwan was held by the Mumbai Police from Kushinagar District in Uttar Pradesh on January 23, 2016. In March, 2017, investigators unearthed a suspected IS terror module operating in India. Ghaus Mohammed Khan, an ex-Indian Air Force officer, was the leader of the group planning attacks in the country. The Uttar Pradesh ATS on March 7, 2017 managed to kill a terrorist hiding inside a house in Thakurganj area of Lucknow. Uttar Pradesh ATS Inspector General Aseem Arun revealed that the neutralised terrorist was a member of the IS of Khorasan module. Terror suspects Atif and Danish were arrested in Lucknow by the NIA in connection with the Lucknow terror operation. The NIA then registered a First Information Report (FIR) in the IS- inspired cases in the Madhya Pradesh and Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) terror operations.

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) warns that death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Islamic State (IS) chief signals danger and there could be revenge strikes, reports oneindia.com on October 28. While the IS did not elaborate on the group's geographical remit, Indian IB officials say that they will continue to target states in the South and also Jammu and Kashmir. In Kerala, Tamil Nadu, they have already got much of the traction and in the Valley, they would look to fill in a vacuum after the already existing groups have suffered such heavy losses. The 21 persons who left Kerala for Afghanistan are the ones to keep a close watch on. There are unconfirmed reports that one or two may have died in the bombings, while the others continue to remain there.

East Mojo reports that during the meeting in New Delhi with National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) on October 28, Government of India (GoI) informed the participants that deadline of October 31, 2019 to conclude the negotiations with all Naga groups has been withdrawn. Unidentified sources in Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) stated that “The Centre is unlikely to insist on October 31, 2019 as the deadline to sign the Naga peace talks.” Sources also added that “On October 31, 2019, two Union Territories (UTs) — Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh — are coming up. Amid increasing intervention from Pakistan, the Centre doesn’t want to take risk in law-and-order problem in other parts of the country, especially in the Northeast by unnecessarily sticking to a deadline. Since the GoI has already spent 22 long years, there is no harm in waiting for some more months to sign the Naga peace talks,” the sources said, adding: “Centre doesn’t want an unnecessary delay in inking the Naga peace process, but it doesn’t want to face any problem in the country, at least in the next 72 or 96 hours.”

"The government of India in tandem with the state government of Jammu and Kashmir adopted a multipronged approach to contain cross border infiltration, promote economic activity, provide relief to victims and strengthen the state government security apparatus. It also followed a multipronged strategy to deal with insurgent and militant activities in the northeast region", it notes.
