India Today adds that Kannur Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) P P Sadanandan said that all six men were active as PFI activists in the state. Police said that these men managed to move out of India, possibly to Syria, with fake passports.Times of India adds that Police said the families of four of them are in Syria, and efforts are on to get their complete details. Khayyoom went to Syria on April 18, 2017, while Abdul Manaf travelled using a fake passport, said Police. Moreover, he was a close associate of Shahjahan Velluva, another IS operative who was arrested in Delhi a few months ago. When Shahjahan and his group reached Istanbul (Turkey) in an effort to sneak in to Syria, Manaf had met them, but the group could not coordinate and their bid to enter Syria failed, and they were deported. Suhail reached Syria from Dubai in 2016, said Police.

Spokesman’ for the banned Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA), a breakaway faction of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Asad Mansoor, announced on November 8 that Mukaram alias Omar Khorasani and his followers had been “banished from the Jamaat”, reports Daily Times. He said a detailed ‘policy statement’ would be issued later, asking supporters not to take any sort of step, which could hurt their activities. JuA therefore faces a rift as Mukarram and his fighters are set to announce their own group. Mukarram was one of the close confidants of the JuA ‘chief’ Omar Khalid Khorasani. Mukarram, belongs to Pandeyali tehsil (revenue unit) in Mohmand Agency in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), was the main character behind the JuA’s activities with his position as head of the group’s intelligence unit. He was member of the group’s central ‘shura’(or council). Some militant sources say that several ‘commanders’ are likely to join Mukaram. They include Jehad Yar Mehsud, ‘commander’ Muslim Yar Momand, ‘commander’ Rashid Mama, Saad alias Wuraf Khan, ‘commander’ Imran and Salman.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has confirmed that the youths from Kasaragod District of Kerala, who had fled the country last year (2016), have joined the Islamic State (IS) in Nangarhar Province in Afghanistan, reports The Times of India on November 12. In the charge-sheet filed against Yasmin Muhammad, who was arrested at the Delhi airport while she was allegedly trying to leave for Kabul on August 1, 2016, NIA states that some of the youths, who are in Afghanistan, "are still spreading the messages in favour of the IS and are inviting others join the terror organization."

A Malayalam audio clip, claiming to be from the Islamic State (IS), has surfaced on the internet calling for war against India and conducting lone-wolf terror attacks on crowds thronging Indian festival events like Kumbh Mela (major Hindu religious festival in North India) and Thirssur Pooram (major Hindu Temple festival in Kerala), reports Outlook on November 14. The male voice in the 10-minute clip liberally quotes from the Quran with an authentic Arabic pronunciation. It claims that it is the 50th audio clip from Daulatul Islam (house of believers). “You use your intellect. Poison them in food. Use trucks. Drive over them at Thirssur pooram or at Maha Kumbh Mela. IS Mujahideen are doing it in several parts of the world. In Las Vegas, one of our supporters killed many people at a music concert. At least you should try to derail a train. Or use a knife,” the clip said..Police sources said the audio clip has been transmitted over Telegram Messenger from Afghanistan and its voice belongs to Rashid Abdullah, the leader of the Kasaragod IS module who left to join Islamic State in Afghanistan. He has been chargesheeted by National Investigation Agency (NIA) under IPC (Indian Penal Code) sections 120B r/w 125 and Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) Sections 38, 39 and 40. There has also been an Interpol red notice issued against him. The case against him came to light after his father filed a Police complaint last year saying Rashid Abdullah, his wife and son were missing from Kasaragod. The clip in question says that Muslims should go for hijrah (migrate) from Darul Kufr (house of non-believers) to Darul Islam (house of believers). “If you are not able to do that despite your prayers and efforts, then you should financially support Daulatul Islam and Islamic State,” it says. According to sources, Rashid Abdulla's previous audio clips had only urged people to perform hijrah. However, in his 50th clip, he has changed his tone and has made an open call for attacks in India, which he has described as a country where ‘Hindus rule.’ “Many are trying to finish IS and khilafat. We have been reduced to nothing in many parts. But, Daultaul Islam is still active and we will fight until the last man,” the clip adds. Responding to the audio clip, former special Director of Cabinet Secretariat, V Balachandran said, "This is very serious. They are going to take the battle to India from Europe and Middle East."

Meanwhile, the national executive member of the Popular Front of India (PFI), P Koya on November 15 said that getting killed in an unknown country that, too, for a mysterious organization which has ulterior motive is not the martyrdom envisaged in Islam, reports The Times of India. Inaugurating a public meeting held here against the Islamic State (IS), he said martyrdom in Islam is sacrificing life in the fight against injustice. "IS is a dubious outfit, the origin of which is shrouded in mystery," he said. Koya said that only less than 150 Muslims have reportedly joined IS from India which has 18 crore Muslims. "That means IS has not succeeded in influencing the Muslim population in the country'" he said.

Kerala Police are on the lookout for a former Popular Front of India (PFI) worker from Kannur District who is suspected to have raised funds for the Islamic State (IS) cadres from the State to travel to Syria, reports The Times of India on November 17. Thasleem, from Pappinassery in Kannur District, is presently in the Gulf and is an accused in eight cases related to the clashes between the PFI and the CPM, Police said. "Thasleem had handed over $400 to two of the IS cadres who were leaving the country at the Kannur railway station premises. He had also arranged money for another group in the Gulf," said a Police officer. PFI Kannur district president V K Noufal said that Thasleem had dissociated from the organisation ever since he left for the Gulf around seven years ago. "He used to come to Pappinassery while on leave but never contacted our organisation. We learnt that Thasleem was in Kannur around six months ago," he said. Police have also found out that V K Shajahan, the PFI worker from Koodali in Kannur District who was arrested from Turkey for trying to sneak into Syria four months ago, had received money sent from Kannur while he was in the Gulf. The money was sent through 'reverse hawala' channels operating in Kerala and the Gulf. A businessman from Kannur, who was in the WhatsApp group of IS leader Abdul Rashid Abdualla, is also in the radar of the Police for lending financial help to the IS module

Kerala Police have come across a money trail behind the migration of youths from Kannur (Kannur District) to fight for the Islamic State (IS) in Syria, reports The Indian Express on November 17 (today). Police sources said the money was handed over to the recruited persons by K O P Thasleem, a native of Pappinissery in Kannur District. “All those who either migrated to Syria or tried to sneak into that country from Kannur have got financial assistance to the tune of $400 each. They were paid through Popular Front of India [PFI] activist Thasleem, who channelled the funds from the Gulf through a hawala route. Thasleem has been in Sharjah for the last six months and we now suspect he has moved to Syria,’’ a Police source said. Sources said documents seized from the houses of the arrested persons substantiated the money transactions. “We are yet to look into the sources who have channelled the money from the Gulf through Thasleem. The amount handed over to the recruited persons was meant only to meet their travel and other expenses. We have not come across any evidence to suggest that money was paid to lure youths to join the IS,’’ the source said. Two weeks back, Police in Kannur had arrested six persons who had earlier tried to go to Syria but were deported by security agencies. Based on the input received from the arrested persons, Police said five others from Kannur were still fighting in Syria, while five others had been killed since 2015.

Considering the gravity of the growing Islamic State (IS) related activities, the Kerala Police machinery has been forced to change its operational procedures and the State is now in high alert mode, reports The Indian Express on November 19. Ever since the first migration of Malayalees to join IS in Syria and Afghanistan was reported in June 2016, Kerala Police have been on the trail of suspected IS operatives in the State. With the latest audio clip of Rashid Abdullah, the leader of the Kasaragod group which left for Syria to join IS, exhorting IS modules to unleash lone wolf attacks in Kerala, the Police have become even more determined to go for an all out offensive drive. State Police chief Loknath Behera said the situation has become very alarming and the Police have taken necessary operational measures to counter IS activities. “We are fully geared up. The entire force has been put on high alert,” he said. Though the State Police have been tracking the activities of dedicated IS cells camouflaged in the form of other organisations, the real, functioning modules in the State were identified after a dedicated Kerala Police started to coordinate with Central agencies in analyzing various communication channels of the suspects. “We have been interacting with Central agencies on various levels to ensure we don’t miss any leads in the investigation into IS activities in the state,” said a senior intelligence officer. A few senior police officers in north Kerala have been specifically tasked with keeping track of the activities of a few suspects flagged for their association with certain organisations clandestinely supporting IS modules in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. “In the past two years, a few suspects have flown to West Asia to raise funds using the cover of some organisations, said the intelligence officer. “The fund is used to strengthen IS activities in Kerala.

The Railway Police on the basis of an intelligence tip-off have warned of a likely security threat to the lives of commuters, especially Ayyappa devotees, in Thrissur (Thrissur District of Kerala) from the so-called Islamic State (IS) terror outfit, reports The New Indian Express. According to the advisory received by the Station Master at the Thrissur Railway station, the IS operatives might well poison the potable water provided at the station as part of the terror design. Hence, the Station Master has been advised to undertake a safety audit of the food and potable water made available to commuters and Sabarimala pilgrims. Thrissur Station Master K R Jayakumar said he had indeed received a tip-off in this regard from the Railway Police. He revealed the missive specifically referred to a possible bid by the IS operatives to lace the potable water with poison. “We are not taking any chances and viewing the issue in all seriousness. The water tanks and food items will be properly inspected and regular checking will be carried out,” Jayakumar said.

As per the latest Intelligence inputs, around 100 Indians have joined Islamic State (IS)-controlled regions in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan since 2014, reports The Times of India on November 28. While 50 Indians left India, the remaining 50 are part of Indian Diaspora who left from their respective countries, mostly from the Gulf countries. These low numbers depicts that IS propaganda to lure Indian Muslims has failed to an extent, as the numbers are very low in proportion to the large Indian population and also in comparison to the percentage of large Indian Muslim community, said an official of the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA). According to an Intelligence official, the IS related content on social media is highly accessed in southern states such as Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka, including Maharashtra, although the J&K youth is also drawn to the ISIS ideology at various phases of the radicalisation. As the indigenous outfit - Popular Front of India (PFI) is ‘systematically’ radicalising the some youths, the government is working on a proposal to declare PFI an ‘unlawful association’, said sources.
