Two of the 14 teenagers who had gone missing after the 2002 communal riots in Ahmedabad (Gujarat) have been traced to Pakistan, The Times of India reports on March 6. This has been revealed by Gujarat Police which with the help of central agencies located the teenagers. Sources from the Gujarat Police said the duo that has been traced to Bawahalpur, the place where Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) headquarters is located in Pakistan, is from eastern Ahmedabad which witnessed major riots in 2002."We have also got leads about the third youth and are verifying his identity," said a top Gujarat Police official. Highly placed police sources said they had the photographs of the 14 youngsters who had gone missing after the riots...We interrogated a few persons recently and showed them the photographs. They have identified two of them. More shocking is the fact that both the Ahmedabad youths are into terror training imparted to other youths in Pakistan".The sources confirmed that they have reports that the two youths are in direct contact with Pakistan-based Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Amir Raza Khan and Iqbal Bhatkal and are planning major terror strikes in India including Gujarat during early next year. "We are worried as the coming year will be the election year for Gujarat and there will be heavy VVIP movement then. We are in contact with central agencies and are working to avert such possible strikes" the official added.

It is suspected that the terror operatives are planning to target Delhi, especially because the Parliament is in session.The Delhi Police are ensuring that CCTV cameras at all places with high footfall, like popular markets in the city and Metro stations, are functional. Patrolling across the city has been intensified. The terror alert followed discovery of an abandoned boat off the coast of Gujarat.High alert has also been sounded in Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir, apart from Delhi. Security around major religious sites in Gujarat like Somnath Temple and Akshardham and in metro cities -- Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata and Bengaluru – has also been increased.Vital installations across the metros like railway stations and airports are also being secured.

A team of the National Investigating Agency (NIA) is in Karnataka to get further details regarding a case relating to a blast at Bijnor, Uttar Pradesh, oneindia.com reports on March 8. A gang of five operatives of the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) had broken out of the Khandwa jail in Madhya Pradesh in 2013. While two were killed in an encounter at Telangana recently, three others were nabbed in Odisha last month. The NIA has been questioning the trio since the past week and had found that they had stayed in Karnataka for a considerable amount of time. It was found that they had taken up accommodation in towns such as Yadgir, Dharwad and Hospet. Further it was also found that these persons were staying in Karnataka when they planned the robbery at Karimnagar in Telangana.The NIA team in Karnataka will look for more clues relating to the case. Further the NIA is also trying to find out if there is a link between these persons and the Chennai train blasts. The Chennai blasts is unsolved and the NIA feels that it may be connected to these persons. The allegations against these persons is that they had carried out the Chennai, Bijnor blasts apart from robberies at Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Karimnagar. It may be recalled that the loot from Madhya Pradesh was paid off to a Jharkhand module which is behind the Patna and Bodhgaya attacks in Bihar.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on March 17, arrested a student of mechanical engineering in Durgapur in connection with its case against the Islamic State (IS), reports Indian Express. A resident of Hooghly, Ashiq Ahmed was arrested by the agency after several days of questioning. He is alleged to be part of the Junud-al-Khilafa-e-Hind (JKH), a self-appointed IS “franchise” run on the directions of former Indian Mujahideen (IM) operative Shafi Armar.Sources said Ahmed came in contact with Mohammed Nafees Khan, ‘finance chief’ of JKH, while surfing jihadi videos over the internet. Khan, who is currently under arrest, reportedly met Ahmed in Kolkata and got him appointed as ‘chief’ of JKH’s Bengal unit. “Ahmed took Khan around Kolkata to identify vital installations that could be targeted by JKH. Ahmed also expressed his intention to target a TMC MLA for the murder of a Muslim political rival. However, all these plans were still at a nascent stage,” said an NIA officer.“On instructions from Khan, Ahmed also got in touch with five youths in West Bengal and was motivating them to join jihadi activity,” said an NIA officer. Meanwhile, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) handed over the cases of suspected IS operatives in custody of Delhi Police and Maharashtra ATS to the NIA. Since all the accused were part of the same group, a decision was taken to hand over the cases to NIA, which has registered an “open FIR” against the IS. “The agency will soon take custody of the accused with the two police forces,” said an UMHA official.

On March 19,Police seized a cache of explosives, including detonators from a bag stashed in a hostel room in Ujjain, ringing alarm bells about a possible terror strike at the mahakumbh, reports The Times of India. The seizure comes exactly a month after the arrests of runaway Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) operatives who had enacted the daring Khandwa jailbreak. Owner of the bag, Sajid Khan, had checked into Room No. 212, Atishay Sheel Jain Hostel on March 18 after showing his Aadhar card at the counter. He left the room soon after dumping his luggage and told the manager he was going out for lunch.Police, however, refused to divulge the nature of explosives. "We found suspicious material, which we can't disclose due to security reasons," said Additional Superintendent of Police Amrendra Singh. Ujjain and nearby towns like Nagda and Mahidpur have been safe havens of terror suspects. In last three months, officials picked up former SIMI operators and Indian Mujahideen (IM) sympathisers from Mahidpur after months of surveillance on their movements.

The Police, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and several others are still looking for Tahir alias Janab, an accused in the 2002-03 serial blasts, Mumbai Mirror reports on March 30. Janab had been radicalised by the Dr Jalees Ansari module but when it was neutralized, he joined hands with Saquib Nachan. Janab was the trainer, who initiated 18 to 20 select recruits into the science and technique of bomb design detonation. The training ground was Nachan's village, Borivali-Padgha in Thane District of Maharashtra.Janab's expertise was not restricted to bombs - he was also highly skilled at generating propaganda material. Many of Nachan's speeches and literature disseminated by the module, was written by Janab.When the Indian Mujahideen (IM) were being investigated, his name cropped up again. Those tracking him surmise that he shuffles between India and Pakistan. A Police source said that Janab was almost arrested during a chase in Agripada in Mumbai, but he slipped away and has been elusive ever since.
