KOLKATA: Investigation into the multi-crore Saradha scam has taken a new dimension with National Investigation Agency (NIA) starting an inquiry into allegations that funds could have been channelized to Bangladeshi Islamic terror outfit Jamaat-e-Islami and that a Trinamool Congress MP might have had some role in it.
The inquiry comes within days of Bangladeshi foreign minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali conveying his concerns to National Security Adviser Ajit Doval on September 19, only a day before the Bangladesh-India foreign minister level talks in New Delhi.
Within three days of Ali meeting Doval, a three-member NIA team had reached Kolkata to probe the matter.
According to sources, the NIA officers had initial discussions with their CBI and Enforcement Directorate counterparts. "They came to Kolkata to gather initial information about Saradha money trail that might have crossed to Bangladesh," a CBI officer investigating the Saradha scam said.
The NIA officers, it is learnt, had collected several editions of a publication the MP edits. NIA also spoke to several prominent Muslim organizations. "They are trying to gauge the fallout. We are providing them all the material related to the investigation," an ED officer said. The NIA team, sources said, will come to Kolkata again in November.
With the NIA stepping in, it's all the more clear that the Centre is keen to get to the root of Saradha cash trail. NIA — unlike CBI and ED — can investigate and prosecute offences affecting the sovereignty, security and integrity of India and relations with foreign states.
The MP has admitted that these aspects were part of the ED questionnaire to him on September 9. He was questioned for over seven hours. Speaking to TOI, the MP said, "They (ED officials) suddenly asked me whether I sent money to Jamaat. This is absurd. It is a political propaganda to malign me and my party. I have filed a defamation suit of Rs 50 crore against a journalist for publishing such unsubstantiated articles on me."

Damn! Looks like IM is reading BRFHome-grown terror group Indian Mujahideen (IM) and the Pakistani Intelligence Agency ISI aren't on the best of terms anymore, according to the latest news reports. The reports indicated that for IM terrorists, ISI has gone from being the affectionately code-named “Mamu” to "Kutte."
According to a New Indian Express report, the "ISI has unleashed various methods of torture against IM terrorists," in retaliation for the group trying to ally with al-Qaeda and Taliban in Pakistan.
Another report in DNA which is based on the National Investigating Agency (NIA)'s chargsheet filed in the Patiala Court House, says that when the NIA looked at the "correspondence between senior IM operatives", it was evident that they were unhappy with "the ISI control" and "have code named ISI as kutte (dogs) for treating them as slaves living on its crumbs."
According to the DNA report, another IM operative, "Riyaz Bhatkal was badly treated by ISI for trying to establish contact with al Qaeda and was sternly warned to desist from any attempt to contact Al-Qaeda fighting in the Af-Pak region."
According to the New Indian Express report, IM founder Riyaz Bhatkal "recently travelled to Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa tribal belts along Afghan-Pakistan border to establish contact with al-Qaeda and Taliban, was warned by ISI asking him to desist from any attempt to contact al-Qaeda, Taliban or even Tehreek-e-Taliban- Pakistan (TTP)."
ISI is now worried that the Indian Mujahideen could "become a headache for Pakistan by joining al Qaeda that is trying to take over control of Pakistan with the help of TTP."
Pakistan intelligence agency ISI was “closely connected” with top operatives of banned Indian Mujahideen (IM) and provided shelter to its members wanted in India, the National Investigation Agency has told a special court in New Delhi.
The NIA said this in its supplementary charge sheet filed against 20 suspected IM operatives, including its absconding co-founders Riyaz Bhatkal and Iqbal Bhatkal, in connection with a case relating to larger conspiracy of the banned group to carry out terror activities across the country.
“Investigation has established that in pursuance of the conspiracy, accused A-10 (Riyaz Bhatkal) has remained closely connected with the ISI of Pakistan. The ISI organised training of IM operatives and also provided shelter to several accused persons, including A-10, after they were wanted by Indian courts for their involvement in terrorist activities,” the agency said.
The NIA also said that its probe in the case established that Iqbal Bhatkal, who is based in Pakistan, had been associated with ISI to obtain funds and support.
“Investigation has established that accused Iqbal Bhatkal had associated himself with the Pakistani agency called as ISI for obtaining regular funding and infrastructural support for the IM operatives,” it said.
“Accused A-11 (Iqbal Bhatkal) was also summoned by the ISI officials on certain occasions and given directions. Due to the closeness of ISI with A-11, there were occasional intra-organisational rifts, as established during the investigation,” the NIA further said.
Out of the 20 accused named by NIA in its charge sheet, 17 have not been arrested yet while three others, Tehsin Akhtar, Haidar Ali and Zia-ur-Rehman, are in judicial custody in connection with the case.
The NIA had earlier filed two charge sheets in the case against nine suspected IM operatives, including its co-founder Yasin Bhatkal and his close aide Asadullah Akhtar alias Haddi, who were arrested by the agency on August 28, 2013 in the case.
All these accused have been named in the charge sheet for the offences under various sections of the IPC, including 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 121 (waging war against the country), 121-A (conspiracy to wage war) and Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
In its supplementary charge sheet filed against the 20 accused, the NIA said that IM operatives wanted to create a situation in India similar to the one prevailing in Iraq and Syria.
It also said that some of the suspected IM men had wanted to be sent to Syria with other jihadis.
NIA is probing the alleged roles of 33 suspected IM men in the case out of which 29 have been list in the charge sheet by it.
The Goebellian ISI has planted countless stories before and therefore, I would wait and watch. I have no reason to believe, at this stage, that the IM and the ISI have fallen out.vivek.rao wrote:Have the Indian Mujahideen and Pakistan's ISI fallen out?
Defused grenade found on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s standby Air India aircraft
Indian security establishment has gone in a tizzy with the discovery of a defused grenade inside an Air India aircraft kept standby in Delhi for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent trip to the US.
The Boeing-746 was kept on standby at IGI Airport, which means it was fully ready to fly out for the PM in case the Jumbo Jet being used by him developed a snag. According to sources, the aircraft was released for commercial operation when Modi landed here on Thursday night.
"The B-747 was sent on a Delhi-Mumbai-Hyderabad-Jeddah flight. On reaching Jeddah in the early hours of Saturday (India time), security agencies there found a defused grenade inside the business class of the aircraft. This sensational discovery of a defused bomb on an aircraft kept standby for the PM has sent everyone in a tizzy," said highly placed sources.
The aircraft is now grounded in Jeddah and held back from operating, as per schedule, to Calicut.
"Jeddah airport security has sanitized the aircraft and given it the clearance to fly out. But now Indian security agencies have taken over this case and are investigating how a defused grenade could make it inside the aircraft. All night long, AI and security agencies have been trying to resolve this mystery, which would be a serious security lapse unless it happens to be an exercise by the security/intelligence agencies to check the alertness of our aviation security wing," said sources.
Not only TMC providing safe havens for terrorists but also covering-up the whole incident.IM men killed making IEDs in Trinamool leader's house
BURDWAN: Two suspected Indian Mujahideen militants were killed and a third injured critically in West Bengal's Burdwan town when an IED they were allegedly making exploded in the house of a Trinamool Congress leader which also doubles as the local party office.
The blast took place on Thursday afternoon.
Locals say that when police arrived, two women held them off at gunpoint threatening to blow up the house and delaying them long enough to burn several documents and evidence. Among the half burnt papers found later were leaflets of al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and Indian Mujahideen. Only a month ago, Zawahiri had warned of 'jihad' in India.
Police sources said 55 IEDs were seized along with RDX, several wrist watch dials, maps and SIM cards. Some half-burnt books were in Arabic, say police sources. Security agencies believe that since the militants were already assembling IEDs, they planned to hit an Indian city in a few days.
NIA, IB and other central agencies are already in Burdwan but say they are getting no cooperation from the state police. Local cops are accused of trying to hush up the blast. They destroyed the seized IEDs, bombs and explosives on Friday before central investigators could arrive. SP SMH Meerza claimed those dead did not have any criminal antecedents and that the bombs were crude socket-bombs. But CID inspector Amar Kumar Mondal, who led the bomb squad, said he defused 55 IEDs and RDX.
Oh-oh! Are we back to understanding the `root causes' of the pauvres petits terroristes?NEW DELHI: An NDA regime may be naturally seen as "tough on terror", but the Narendra Modi government seems to be toying with the idea of taking a humanitarian approach towards Indian youths who are suspected to be fighting alongside the Islamic State (also known as ISIS) in Iraq.
Faced with a proposal by NIA to lodge an FIR against ISIS, the home ministry is exploring if these youths can be deradicalised when they come back from Iraq rather than pushing them behind bars. The argument in favour of this idea is that an FIR will not only scare the youths from coming back but also prevent parents from reporting to police.

They would have studied the modi operandi of the IED manufacture, identified the source of the RDX, kept a small sample and destroyed the rest. This is all that is required to be done. The evidence has deliberately been destroyed to prevent this. The method of making the IED would have revealed, from the data base, if some known entity was involved in the training of the dead goons. If that entity was already in custody, then he would sing once again, no??ramana wrote:Dont mind lekin , NIA is hardly Sherlock Holmes. More like Inspecor Clouseau.
So far they have no solved one terrorism case.

While Shakeel Ahmed from Nadia was killed on the spot, East Midnapore's Shobhan Mondal died in hospital. Hasan Saheb of Murshidabad is in critical condition. Shakeel's widow Rumi Biwi and Hasan's wife Amina Biwi have been detained along with landlord and Trinamool leader Nurul Hasan Choudhury. The Opposition BJP and CPM demand a probe into the "Trinamool-terror nexus".
The blast took place around noon on Thursday. Fire brigade and police believed they were responding to a domestic fire and were shocked to see two women brandishing revolvers and threatening to blow up the house if they dared enter.
In an instant, a 'cylinder blast' had transformed into a national security issue. Locals say they saw the two women burn several documents before they let police enter after an hour. Police took away the IEDs in sand-laden trucks. It took seven hours for a CID team from Kolkata to destroy them in controlled detonation the next morning.
When central agencies arrived on Friday afternoon, they were stunned to learn that the IEDs and RDX had been destroyed.
A four-member IB team was the first to arrive from New Delhi. An IB inspector alleged that Burdwan sadar police were not cooperating with them. "Neither the Burdwan SP nor the thana is helping us. They have destroyed all the bombs and explosives instead of retaining them for examination. The case will now become useless because of lack of evidence. The seized explosives would have been crucial in the case," he said.
An NIA team arrived on Saturday, followed by a Central Forensic Science Laboratory team from Hyderabad. CFSL's P D Ganesh said that the sand samples collected from the detonation site on the riverbank point to Indian Mujahideen. He said that police should have kept the explosives, and waited for them instead of destroying them. NIA and CFSL experts entered the house for the first time around 12pm on Saturday, two days after the blast.
The ruling Trinamool Congress is in a tight spot because the house served as its local party office. Trinamool leader Nurul Hasan has told police that he had given the first floor on rent to Shakeel Ahmed for Rs 18,000 three months ago and claims he does not know the others.
BJP district secretary Sandeep Nandy has demanded a CBI probe. "NIA and CBI should interrogate the three detainees and the injured person. The house is the local party office of Trinamool and you can see its flags even today. Burdwan SP SMH Meerza is trying to hush up the incident, claiming police have seized 15 crude bombs. He is trying to save the Trinamool leader. The Trinamool-terrorism link should be probed. This is a very serious matter," Nandy said.
CPM leader Amal Haldar said burnt papers posters of Indian Mujahideen have been found. "The Trinamool-terror link has now been proved. We demand an NIA probe," said Haldar.
Shakeel was in Mumbai for a long time before coming to Burdwan, sources say. IGP-CID R Shiva Kumar and IGP-western zone Siddhinath Gupta are interrogating the three detainees. "We have told the women to call their guardians. All 55 crude socket bombs have been destroyed by CID yesterday. The victims have no criminal background. The condition of the third victim is serious," Meerza said.
Terrorists don't get 'de-radicalised' because they are not arrested. The excuse that the police can't find them unless their parents report them, is incredibly inane: Modi should kick out the MantriBabus responsible for this. The buggers will simply wait until the ISI can find a new task for them, and many innocents will die or be maimed. What kind of idiocy is this?the home ministry is exploring if these youths can be deradicalised when they come back from Iraq rather than pushing them behind bars. The argument in favour of this idea is that an FIR will not only scare the youths from coming back but also prevent parents from reporting to police.

Those bombs in Burdwan were meant for Bangladesh; and JMB is behind this.
One JMB cell were assembling those and already three consignments were sent across
the border. India has already warned BD about this development. Bombs were meant
to create havoc during this festival season there and put Hasina Govt on spot.
Important thing: - can't the Burdwan SP Sayed Mirza, who destroyed the IEDs, be legally
charged for protecting the terrorists by destroying the evidence? We need to set some
examples for the rest of the country by taking strong measures in a few cases.
Thursday
● Explosion around 10.45am in a first-floor flat, rented by a five-member group three months ago, at Khagragarh on the outskirts of Burdwan town
● Local youths rush to the first floor and see two women locking the collapsible gate. One of the women says a gas cylinder exploded
● Fire brigade personnel reach first floor, accompanied by the youths. The two women threaten to shoot them with a pistol if they did not go away. (Later, no arms are found on them. The women are identified as Gulshan/ Razia Bibi and Alima/ Amina Bibi. The police cite the multiple names from two sets of voter identity cards found on them. The police also say Gulshan/ Razia is called “Rumi” by the other woman)
● Local police arrive and force one of the women to open the gate. The police find the other woman burning some pamphlets. Three men lay in a pool of blood. (Two, Subhan Mondal and Shakil Ahmed/Shakil Ghazi/ Shamim, are later pronounced dead and the third man, Abdul Hakim/ Hasan, is in hospital.) Also in the flat are two toddlers aged one-and-a-half years and one year — the daughters of the two women. The children are with their mothers who are in police remand now
● The police find gelatine sticks, 59 improvised explosive devices (hand-made bombs) and 55 improvised hand grenades. The two women are detained
A half-burnt pamphlet that mentions Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaida’s chief
● The police also find partially burnt papers that have Bangla script. Some papers mention words and phrases like “mujahid” and “salaam to our brothers in Chechnya”. Police say the pamphlets also mention “Zawahiri”, the al Qaida leader
● The police take the bombs to the banks of the Damodar, 3km away, bury them in mud and detonate them before forensic analysts or officials from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrive. The detonations are spread over Thursday and Friday morning
FRIDAY
● NIA team arrives but denied entry into the flat by local police
● The NIA team leaves after an altercation with the policemen guarding the house. After senior NIA officials intervene, the team returns and is allowed entry this time
SATURDAY
● Central forensic officials visit the flat
SUNDAY
● The police arrest the two women who had been detained earlier
