Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) cadres on January 1 killed two villagers near Moraina Pahari under Banke Bazar Police Station area of Gaya District, reports The Times of India. They organized a Jan Adalat (Kangaroo court) to hold the instant trial. The villagers identified as Laxman Bhokta and Pervesh Prasad were initially summoned by the Maoists on twin charges of being police informers and supporters of local Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) and Bihar assembly Speaker Udai Narain Chaudhary. The ‘jury’ ‘awarded’ death penalty to them and the punishment was instantly executed. Meanwhile, the bodies of the two victims have been dumped somewhere deep inside the forest area possibly as a bait for police to walk into the ‘enemy territory’. The exact mode of 'execution' (killing) is not known.

Indian intelligence agencies have alerted anti-terror agencies across the country, including Maharashtra, of a possible escalation of terror activities in 2014, dnaindia.com reported on January 2. They have warned that there will be change in strategy of terror outfits. One or two highly-trained militants will carry out terror attacks instead of a module of five terrorists or more as was the case earlier, officials said. “After a thorough interrogation of several arrested terror suspects across the country, it has been established that the ISI [Inter Services Intelligence] is unhappy with the IM [Indian Mujahideen] for failing to make a serious impact in 2013,” said a central intelligence official. “It [IM] has realised that even a small module of 5-8 people is vulnerable and prone to being busted. Therefore, it now plans to form even smaller groups of 2-3 people and at times, even one person may be given the responsibility of carrying out attacks,” the officer said.

Narcotic smuggling have increased across the India-Pakistan frontier with the Border Security Force (BSF) recorded its highest seizure of drugs in recent years, netting over 322 kilograms of heroin in 2013 that would be worth over INR 16.10 billion in the international market, The Times of India reported on January 2. This is the highest seizure of heroin made by the BSF on the Punjab frontier with Pakistan. The previous high was over 288 kilograms of heroin seized in 2012. Compared to the seizure of just 68 kilograms of heroin in 2011, BSF officers now acknowledge that smugglers from Pakistan and India have become more active in the last two years. In 2008, the BSF seized over 100 kilograms of heroin, in 2009 about 120 kilograms and in 2010 about 115 kilograms. Besides heroin, the BSF also recovered over 246 kilograms of poppy husk in Punjab's border belt. This seizure was phenomenally high when compared to just 5.5 kilograms recovered in 2012. BSF troopers killed five Pakistani and three Indian smugglers in exchange of fire near the International Border (IB) in 2013. The BSF also recovered Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) worth INR 5.2 million along the border. The drugs trade is thriving in Punjab and various agencies of the Punjab and central government have made seizures of drugs worth over INR 50 billion in the recent past. The Punjab Police alone busted an international gang of synthetic drugs smugglers. The seizures of synthetic drugs, made across Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and other states are nearly INR 25 billion.

Substantial sums of money are flowing into terrorists’ coffers from Karachi (Pakistan) and Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) to revive the Indian Mujahideen’s (IM) parent organisation, the Students’ Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), the Intelligence Bureau (IB) has warned the states’ law enforcement agencies, New Indian Express reported on January 2. The IB note, forwarded to states last week, mentioned SIMI cadres’ interrogation in which operatives admitted to receiving money through hawala (illegal money transfer) and money transfer schemes to revive the banned outfit. The intelligence agency said SIMI was running its terror activities through at least four front organisations Tahreek-e-Ehyaa-e-Ummat, Wahdat-e-Islami, Tehreek-Talaba-e-Arabia and Tahrik Tahaffuz-e-Shaaire Islam. “The arrested operatives told the interrogators that the money from the Al Bashir camp was received through Western Union money transfer and several sleeper cells in Jharkhand, UP, Bihar and Maharashtra were activated to recruit more hands to carry out terror activities. The operatives intensified the activities in October and November last year,” sources said. An official said they have asked security agencies to verify the links between arrested SIMI members from Chhattisgarh and Kerala. Since November 14, Chhattisgarh Police had busted several SIMI modules in the state. Later, during interrogation, a suspected SIMI operative had claimed they travelled to Kerala to receive training and Jihadi materials. Manzar Imam, a SIMI arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), had also confirmed of participating in SIMI training camps.

The Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) has found numerous border pillars missing or badly damaged along the India-Nepal border in Uttarakhand, The Times of India reported on January 2. "Of the 204 border pillars under our jurisdiction, only 121 were found to be ok (sic). The rest were either missing or damaged," SSB Inspector General B.S. Mehra said. A total of 36 border pillars were found missing and another 47 were in a dilapidated condition. Under such circumstances, a senior SSB officer said the missing and damaged border pillars pose a serious security threat. Intelligence inputs suggest that Pakistan was increasingly using the porous frontier to push terrorists into India. SSB sources said Nepalese Maoists have increased their anti-India activities and are active near the international border as well.

One camp is still maintained by the ATTF that too by two women.” Admitting that insurgents were using Tripura-Mizoram- Bangladesh tri-junction as corridor, he said security agencies including Assam Riffles have been trying hard to stop infiltration of militants from across the border. Asked about security arrangement along the border keeping in mind the recent unrest in Bangladesh, the DGP said the BSF and District Police authorities were asked to maintain strict vigil along the border so that militants could not enter into the Indian soil.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) is more lethal and resilient because of the support it receives from Pakistan, according to a new report titled 'Jihadist Violence: The Indian Threat' by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, The Times of India reported on January 3. The report underlines that the Indian jihadist movement constitutes an "internal security issue with an external dimension." "The Indian jihadist movement formed organically and as a result of endogenous factors, specifically communal grievances and a desire for revenge, but is more lethal and more resilient than it otherwise would have been, thanks to external support from the Pakistani state and Pakistan and Bangladesh-based militant groups," said the 100-page report. "External support was a force multiplier for Indian militancy rather than a key driver of it. Although the IM receives support from LeT, it should not be viewed as an affiliate within the same command-and-control hierarchy. This distinguishes the IM from some of the other LeT cells or operatives active in India," it said. It argues that IM the primary indigenous jihadist threat is part of a larger universe of Islamist militant entities operating in India, many but not all of which are connected to external entities such as the Pakistani militant group LeT and the Bangladeshi Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI-B). It also asserts that the IM should not be viewed as a formal organization, but instead is best understood as a label for a relatively amorphous network populated by jihadist elements from the fringes of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and the criminal underworld.

The Pro-Talks faction of NDFB (NDFB-PTF) on January 3 demanded updating of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Assam, reports The Shillong Times. Gobinda Basumatary, ‘General Secretary’ of NDFB-PTF which is holding negotiations with the government for many years now said that this should be done keeping 1951 as the base year instead of 1971 fixed by the government.“As per our calculations, 70-80 lakh foreigners came illegally into Assam between 1951 to 1971. So updating the NRC as per the 1971 census will be completely wrong,” Basumatary claimed. Asked about the progress in talks with the government, he said it was being held for many years now, but no solution has emerged so far.Criticising violence by the anti-talk I K Songbijit group, he said “we do not support their acts at all. If reports are to be believed, they are indulging in rampant extortion, kidnapping and killing of innocent people.” Stating that acts by the rival faction could not be termed a revolution, he said “Revolution should be carried out on ideology. But their actions are completely unwanted.

Accusing United Nations (UN) of succumbing to the pressure of super powers, Chairman of Hurriyat Conference (M) Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on January 5 said the world body has miserably failed in Kashmir and now the Hurriyat will move ahead with “various alternatives” to find a solution to Kashmir issue, reports Greater Kashmir. He, however, said that for any solution- freedom, out of box idea or merger with Pakistan- people of all five regions of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) have to be taken on board by India and Pakistan in both back-channel and open talks. “We have been keenly observing UN role in Kashmir ever since it was formed after World War II. The body succeeded in ensuring truce between India and Pakistan. As far its resolutions regarding holding plebiscite in Kashmir are concerned, it has failed due to its dual policies and the diktats it receives from super powers like US,” Mirwaiz added.

Malkangiri Police have sought additional central forces following the recent spurt in Maoist activities in the District, reports The Times of India. Presently, four battalions of Border Security Force (BSF) are deployed there. Police said owing to absence of any permanent camp of paramilitary forces along Odisha-Chhattisgarh border, Maoists have now started regrouping in Padia and Mathili blocks that share the boundary with the neighbouring State. "We are conducting operations in Padia and Mathili only on specific intelligence inputs regarding movement of Maoists. This is not sufficient to contain them," said Superintendent of Police (Malkangiri) Akhileswar Singh. "We need permanent camps of central forces in border areas. This has been intimated to our higher-ups," said the SP. "At least two more battalions of central forces are required for the district," he added. According to the SP, Tulsi Dongar situated on the border of Mathili and Chhattisgarh and Dornapal forests along Padia and Chhattisgarh is slowly turning into a hub of Maoists. All recent offensives were reported from these areas. In less than a month, Maoists have abducted at least 10 villagers, murdered three persons on charges of being Police informers, burnt two passenger buses, blew up a mobile tower in Padia block.

The terror attack in and around Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya on July 7, 2013, was targeted at international Buddhist tourists to avenge the killings of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, according to arrested Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Indian Mujahideen (IM) suspect Mohammed Umair Siddiqui, Dialy Mail reported on January 6. The interrogation report states that another absconding suspect and Siddiqui's close aide, Haider Ali, approached Siddiqui in May 2013 about two months before the blasts in Bodh Gaya and told him about the atrocities against Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. "I suggested attacking Bodh Gaya because it was an international centre," the interrogation report quotes Siddiqui. "I told Haider that targeting two or three persons will not send a message. We never wanted to target the common public. Haider suggested why not target foreigners visiting Bodh Gaya," the report said. Further, the same module was planning a strike on a Gaya-Delhi train as well. The group had gathered information on the train and was even conducting a recce on it, but the idea could not be brought to fruition.

India is looking for Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) leaders in Nepal and Myanmar where the outfit has spread its wings in nexus with other militant outfits, reports The Telegraph on January 7.Security agencies have seen the threat perception rise substantially in the past months in north Bengal and northwest Assam, sources said. The Bengal and Assam Governments, central agencies and Military Intelligence are coordinating to neutralise the upsurge in the KLO’s activities. The KLO, which wants a separate state of Kamtapur, comprising six Districts of north Bengal and four of Assam, has split its ‘financial’ and ‘military wings’, sources said. Its ‘general secretary’ Kailash Koch aka KK commands the ‘military unit’ in north Myanmar’s Sagaing division and ‘secretary (organisation)’, Rajiv alias Cobra, operates from southeastern Nepal to give the outfit its financial muscle, they added.KLO ‘supremo’ Jeevan Singh, who was in Bangladesh a few years ago, is said to have shifted base to Myanmar. In his speech on the KLO’s 20th foundation day (December 2013), Koch greeted Imphal valley-based outfits and the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland- Khaplang faction (NSCN-K), which is a major force in Sagaing. The region is a hotbed of Indian militant outfits that operate in Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Assam and Bengal. Their weapons are mostly sourced from arms bazars in Ruili, China. In lower Nepal, which borders Indian states, the KLO is active in Mechi zone.

The Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) is planning to enforce "poll boycott" in the forthcoming Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) polls by disrupting the election process in Maoist affected states, reports outlookindia.com. According to a Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) internal note, the Maoists have assessed that the deployment of Security Forces (SFs) in Maoist areas would be comparatively quite less during Lok Sabha elections and that would place the extremists in a better position to enforce the "poll boycott" call at that time. Inputs also indicate holding of a review by senior Maoist leadership in south Bastar region in Chhattisgarh with a view to chalking out a strategy for the upcoming Parliamentary elections. The Maoist top leadership is currently engaged in conducting a review in south Bastar region to identify villagers and poll activists who took an active part in the election process and punish them as a measure of deterrence in view of the upcoming Parliamentary elections.

In a bid to crackdown on the circulation of the Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) the Centre has asked the Research & Analysis Wing (RAW) to carry out a security audit of the foreign firms supplying ink and paper for printing currency, New Indian Express reported on January 10. During a recent meeting of the intelligence agencies, it had come to light that the problem was on the rise since the percentage of FICN in circulation had increased to 15.58 per cent total pieces from 13.56 per cent total pieces in 2012. Sources said the RAW will play a major role in the FICN Coordination Group, which has been set up under the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, to collect and share intelligence among the various agencies to prevent the circulation of the fake notes. “The currency paper and ink are procured through foreign firms and the RAW has been asked to check the background of the companies involved in the supply chain. There is a strong suspicion that groups based in Pakistan have managed to source similar papers and security ink from some foreign countries,” they said. According to intelligence inputs, the FICN printed in Pakistan is brought to India through couriers in Malaysia, Thailand and the UAE. The RAW has been asked to generate intelligence on these operators and coordinate with the foreign intelligence agencies to crackdown on the cartel involved in the smuggling of the counterfeit currency. An IB dispatch, which was shared with all the agencies, had categorically mentioned that the FICN smugglers were using a circuitous route to smuggle in the currency bundles printed in Pakistan. The couriers are mostly using Bangkok (Thailand), Kathmandu (Nepal) and Dhaka (Bangladesh) airports to ferry the illegal consignment to the Indian cities.

Senior Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader GVK Prasad alias Gudsa Usendi surrendered before Andhra Pradesh Police after taking due permission from CPI-Maoist chief Ganapathy and was allowed to go unharmed in view of his seniority and loyalty to the party, reports The Times of India on January 11. However, several others who attempted to surrender were allegedly killed. A Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) source said "He has surrendered because of failing health and being unable to continue the struggle. He has done so after taking due permission from the leadership. Though he must have been discouraged, he was allowed to go unharmed because of his seniority and the three-decade long service that he gave the party. Many others in the lower rung have met fatal ends to such decisions".

The middle-aged leader from Warangal District of Andhra Pradesh, GVK Prasad surrendered with a woman comrade before Andhra Pradesh Police on January 8. In nearly 20 minute long statement Ramanna strongly denounced the erstwhile Spokesperson’s decision to surrender, calling him a “morally flawed” individual. “He was once suspended by the party in 1993 for moral misdemeanour but was re-inducted after repeated requests. But Sukhdev proved to be a weak person and a traitor,” the statement said. During his tenure in the party, Prasad was questioned for moral turpitude and even now he ran away with ‘another’ woman comrade, the statement said. “His wife Raje is still in the party, while Sukhdev has surrendered with Santoshi Madkam and the action (of running away with another woman) exposes him to the comrades,” Ramanna said.

In the backdrop of the Union Home Ministry recently pulling up Bihar for its “failure” in controlling Naxal [Left Wing Extremism (LWE)] violence, the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has now deployed close to 200 commandos of its special Commando Battalion for Resoloute Action (CoBRA) battalion to bring lethality in its offensives in the State, reports The Hindu. The anti-Naxal warfare trained commandos will now not only assist about 5,000 troops of the CRPF already deployed and tasked for these operations in the State, but also carry out specific intelligence inputs based strikes. The units of the 207th battalion of the CoBRA has been based in Jamui, sources said, after taking them out from West Bengal where the Naxal situation is under control. The CoBRA will also provide the much needed intelligence inputs to the regular CRPF units who rue that they are not getting much of this vital information from the State police. Trouble has been brewing between the CRPF and the Bihar police since the latter arrested an Assistant Commandant-rank officer of the paramilitary for allegedly leaking information to Naxalites. The force, sources have said, has now decided to step up operations in the State in view of the recent assessment of the Home Ministry with regard to the Naxal problem. “We have noticed a complete breakdown in coordination between the State police and the Central forces as well as with the neighbouring States like Jharkhand,” Mr. Shinde had written in his letter to Kumar.

The Commissioner and Secretary in-charge Home (Police) Jopthiaw Lyngdoh on January 13 said that the breakaway faction of A’chik National Volunteer Council (ANVC-B) ‘chairman’ Rimpu R Marak had signed the agreed text of settlement [signed on January 5,2013] as a member of the ANVC, reports The Shillong Times.“In the same meeting before the agreement was signed, he (Marak) had told infront of the officials of the Union Ministry [of Home Affairs] that he did not see the need to have another organisation. It was for this reason that the Ministry allowed the ANVC-B to be part of the agreed text of settlement,” Lyngdoh said. When asked as to why the ANVC-B was allowed to be part of the agreed text of settlement when the group was not part of the tripartite ceasefire agreement which was signed in 2004, Lyngdoh said that its cadres were made part of the agreement after receiving the necessary directive from both the Centre and State Government.To a question whether they will adopt the same yardstick in case the Garo National Liberation Army (GNLA) wants to be part of the text of settlement especially when the outfit ‘commander in chief’ Sohan D Shira was a signatory to the tripartite agreement, Lyngdoh said the inclusion of GNLA in the agreement which had already been signed, is now out of question.

DNA reported on January 19 that most of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) in circulation is printed in government-controlled printing presses in Pakistan and the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has a major role in it. "On the behest of ISI, the FICN are printed in government-controlled printing presses at Karachi, Multan, Quetta, Lahore and Peshawar. The water mark, Ashoka Pillar, Mahatma Gandhi's image, the denomination, RBI mark and other security features are very prominent, clear and look real in FICN printed in these presses," an unnamed senior Police Officer said. He added, "Earlier, we used to get fake currency notes of higher denominations. But for the past a three years the scene has changed. It is in the past three years that smugglers of FICN have started circulating notes of low denomination of Rs. 5, Rs. 10 and Rs. 20 along with those of large denomination." "The FICN are sent to India through several countries, including Bangladesh, Nepal, Middle East, Thailand, Denmark, Holland, Singapore" and Sri Lanka," said a Crime Branch Officer in Delhi Police. "After the government of Thailand recently imposed restrictions, the ISI started using Vietnam and Malaysia for smuggling FICN to India through Nepal," he added.

Surrendered Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) leader Gumudavelli Venkatakrishna Prasad alias Gudsa Usendi feels the time has come for the CPI-Maoist to reshape its strategies and course of action failing which the party will continue to suffer reverses, reports The Hindu. The Maoists are fast losing people’s trust as the strategies adopted by them are not in line with the changing scenario. This has a direct bearing on the recruitment into the party where no educated youth are coming forward to join the movement. “There is a lot of debate within the party on the need for change in policies and strategies. But nothing has been put into practice,” he said. Prasad spoke to the reporters on January 20 to rebut the charges levelled against him by the Dandakaranya Special Zonal Committee (DKSZC) secretary Ramanna describing him a renegade spokesman.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) Special Court on January 22 dismissed the anticipatory bail petition of an accused in the Kasargod Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) case, reports New Indian Express. K M Balachandran, NIA Special Court judge, ordered that accused Mammunhi alias Muhamad Kunji cannot be granted anticipatory bail as there were serious offenses charged against him. “A very serious investigation has to be conducted with respect of the offences alleged. The investigation definitely would be hampered in case he is let free,” the court observed. Mammunhi is currently working in the UAE and is alleged to have involved in hawala (illegal money transfer) transactions. He is an accused in four cases registered for obtaining FICNs from various parts of Kasargod. In his petition, Mammunhi stated that an Investigation Officer had visited his house and intimidated his wife and family members. The NIA objected to the petition and submitted that he is operating from Dubai as a hawala agent and he was part of the conspiracy in distribution of FICNs. The case against him is charged under 489B, 489C, 420, 201, 120 B, 109 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Worried over the proliferation of Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) and near perfect technology employed by counterfeiters especially for INR 500 and INR 1,000 notes, the government is planning the introduction of an anti-photocopying technology called Omron, Hindustan Times reported on January 26. Incorporation of Omron technology on a bank note typically involves a pattern of small yellow, green or orange circles, which are repeated across areas of the banknote at different orientations. INR 500 and INR 1,000 notes are the most forged notes in India. At present, INR 50 and INR 100 notes already use this technology. The development is to be seen in the context on the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announcement to withdraw all currency notes issued prior to 2005 by March 31, 2014 in a move aimed at curbing black money and FICN.

There is a strong possibility that subversive elements may try and join political parties in the run-up to Lok Sabha (Lower House of Indian Parliament) elections of 2014 posing as political workers, and then make efforts to foment communal trouble, Asian Age reported on January 27. Intelligence sources said all major political parties will be sensitised in the next few days on this, and warned to be extremely careful about new members joining them. Intelligence sources said political outfits will be asked to do thorough screenings and background checks before enrolling new members. “Usually, before parliamentary elections, there are fresh drives by leading parties to take new members. The subversive groups may try and take advantage of this, and join political parties to trigger communal unrest in the garb of political workers,” an intelligence official said. Further, intelligence sources also said that investigations had confirmed that virtually the entire Uttar Pradesh cadre of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) had been absorbed into the Indian Mujahideen (IM).

In the wake of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) posters appearing every now and then on heavy vehicles that ferry Uranium ore from Bagjata mines to Jadugora processing unit, in Seraikela-Kharsawan District, the Uranium Corporation of India Ltd (UCIL) has expressed apprehensions over excavation work, reports The Times of India on January 28. The company has said if posters with warnings continue to appear on the trucks for long the uranium excavation work shall be hampered. For the last several weeks, posters instructing transporters to stop ferrying uranium ore from the Bagjata mines have been appearing on the trucks at regular intervals. "We are experiencing a modest slowdown in transportation work owing to Maoist threats and probably the enrichment work will suffer in the long run if they (rebels) continue doing the same in the future," said Chairman and Managing Director of UCIL, Diwakar Acharya. The Maoists had been demanding permanent jobs for the locals in the company as compensation against land acquisition in Bagjata is already mired in controversy.

Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Hyder Ali Shaqoor is said to have been assigned the task of assassinating Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Oneindia News reported on January 28. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) further said that Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) is also part of the ploy and the duo have detailed plans to carry out the task. To be more specific, Shaqoor would be overseeing the work of three sharp shooters assigned for the work by the terror outfits. Shaqoor has been part of the IM for the past five years, but there are no available details about him. Shaqoor is also said to have connections with Abu Faisal, a Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) operative who had escaped jail in Khandwa in Madhya Pradesh on Oct 1, 2013, but was rearrested on December 24. It is said that he is connected with the outfits to assist the assassination. A team has been sent to Nepal as the IB suspects that the sharp shooters, belonging to Pakistan may enter India from there. However, some inputs suggest that the Lashkar may also order International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF). It is believed that they may be ready to do the job as Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had given them shelter.

Ten persons were killed and eight others received bullet injuries when encroachers from Arunachal Pradesh opened fire with hand-made weapons in the Behali Reserve Forest area of Sonitpur District on January 29, reports The Assam Tribune. Around 100 assailants, armed with guns and other lethal weapons, attacked the villagers, who have been camping there to protect those areas from further encroachment, and started indiscriminate firing at them killing those villagers on the spot. The Behali Reserve Forest was witnessing trouble for some time as frequent clashes took place in the area between encroachers from Arunachal Pradesh and Assam and though major eviction drives were launched by the administration in November and December 2013, the encroachers managed to settle there again. The report further said that encroachment of the reserved forests in different parts of Assam is giving an added advantage to the militant groups as there is very little presence of any Government machinery in such areas. The militants belonging to the IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Boroland (NDFB-IKS) have taken advantage of it particularly in Sonitpur and Chirang Districts.

"The case presented by India exposes how through over-valuation diamonds were shipped at a value that was tens of millions of dollars higher than the real value. This kind of over-valuation cannot be done in goods with a fixed or even relatively fixed price," the FATF report on "Money laundering and terrorist financing through trade in diamonds" said. The report states that in a number of suspect cases of diamond trafficking, a majority of funds were transferred internationally to Belgium from accounts of Hong Kong, China, Israel, UAE, the US and India. In cases of suspicious money laundering instances of diamond trade, the funds transfer occured from India, Israel and Switzerland to the UAE. The report also summaries, "Diamond trade, as an international phenomenon, needed a complete and global analysis to understand and determine money laundering and terrorist financing threats and vulnerabilities related to this unique trade."
