At least four people were killed and six others were injured after a blast took place on Thursday in West Bengal's Jalpaiguri district.

The bomb was tied to a bicycle and it exploded on Thursday evening a little distance from St Pauls School near Jalpaiguri town.

According to reports, terror outfit Kamtapur Liberation Organisation (KLO) is being suspected to be behind the blast.

DSP (Crime) Prabhat Chakraborty confirmed the deaths and injuries in the bomb explosion at Bajrapara locality, but could not yet say if it was a terrorist-linked attack.

Chakraborty said that a police inquiry into the bomb blast has been started.

NIA set to drop case against Sadhvi Pragya, others arrested by MP Police

Nearly six years after the murder of RSS pracharak Sunil Joshi, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) has concluded that the Madhya Pradesh Police arrested the wrong people, including Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur. Joshi, an accused in the 2006 Malegaon blasts and the Samjhauta and Ajmer blasts in 2007, was found dead in Dewas on December 29, 2007.

According to the NIA probe, Joshi was killed by Lokesh Sharma and Rajender Pehalwan, both accused in the Samjhauta blasts case, for allegedly misbehaving with Thakur. The duo were reportedly helped by Dilip Jagtap and Jitender Sharma. All the four have been arrested. Sharma, a BJP youth wing leader, was arrested from Mhow recently, after which the NIA claimed the probe had been completed.

NIA sources said the group also feared that Joshi may expose their alleged involvement in bomb blast cases. Lokesh Sharma and Rajender Pehalwan are also reported to have had a financial dispute with Joshi.

The sources said the agency is seeking the home ministry's sanction to prosecute the four accused, after which a chargesheet will be filed. The agency is also examining the CFSL report on the murder weapon.

The agency then plans to approach the MP special court seeking to drop the charges against Pragya Singh Thakur, Harshad Solanki, Vasudev Parmar, Anand Raj Kataria and BJP councillor Ramcharan Patel, who were booked under IPC Sections 302 (murder), 120 (B) (criminal conspiracy) and 201 (destruction of evidence) by the MP Police.

While Thakur, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blasts case, is currently in jail, Parmar, Kataria and Patel have been released on bail. Solanki is also still in jail for his alleged role in other crimes. The MP Police, in its chargesheet filed in 2011, had claimed that Joshi was shot by Harshad Solanki. It had said that Joshi was killed because Solanki and the others had started regarding him as a threat.

Morality Police.....

Youth assaulted for talking to women
With cuts and bruises on his body, Jayaram Poojary (24) is unable to grasp the reason for the vicious assault that has landed him in hospital. Four days after the incident, his eyes are murky and his mother Leela Poojary is exhausted because of sleepless nights.

The victim told The Hindu that a group of persons targeted him allegedly because he talked to women. “They [the assaulters] kept asking me why I should talk to women from their community.”

On Saturday, around 6 p.m., Mr. Poojary, a resident of Salethur in Puttur taluk who works as a truck driver for a stone quarry company, had taken a bus to Gadiyara village, Bantwal taluk, to collect payment for brick supplies. As he walked from the bus stop towards the village, he met two women, whom he knew, and within a few minutes nearly 40 people attacked him.

The victim said it was clear in their shouts and insults that the assaulters were targeting him for talking to a woman. “I was hit on the head with a rod. They must have thought I was dead.” It was only a day later that he recovered consciousness in Government Wenlock Hospital in the city.

I can confirm from a recent visit to bhatkal and its surroundings that dress code for women in that region is fully saudi - head to toe burqa with face mask and usually a sulky male 'minder' also accompanying.
in bangalore mostly IM women do not cover the head even if they wear burqa and I have yet to see a facemask in common use.

gulf funding & people-to-people contact seems to have established a chain of radical preachers up and down our west coast and recruited bands of foot soldiers to enforce wahabbism.

Meanwhile, back at the Keystone Kop lodge:

"A gangster linked to dozens of murders escaped from police custody in Delhi after apparently serving food laced with sedatives to officers guarding him.

Vikram Paras, 27, carried out the daring escape as four armed officers were escorting him from the busy Old Delhi Railway Station in the capital early on Wednesday.

He drugged his escorts and then escaped with their guns. The cops have been suspended for negligent behaviour.

At 2 am, a phone call reported that a policeman was lying unconscious in the parking lot of the Old Delhi Railway Station.

When a police team reached the spot, two more policemen were found unconscious at the platform while a fourth one was found wandering around the railway station, dazed."

"Indian Mujahideen wanted to nuke Surat, Yasin Bhatkal tells cops.

Bhatkal told the interrogators that he had asked his Pakistan-based boss, Riyaz Bhatkal, over phone whether the latter could arrange a small "nuclear bomb". According to him, Riyaz responded, "Anything can be arranged in Pakistan".

I don't believe this, its either a fairytale to confuse the interrogators or ISI's motivation strategy to keep these guys interested in jihad against India.
Paki pigs did not trust bengali muslims when they were united, they will not trust these guys even if they have real plan to use dirty bombs on Indian cities. They will use paki pigs like they did in 26/11.

There are sleeper cells in and around Bangalore?

Sabotage Angle Seen in Andhra Train Blaze
A day after 26 people perished in the fire that broke out in an AC coach of the Bangalore-Nanded Express, forensic experts, who on Sunday inspected the compartment to probe the cause of the blaze, said they have reason to suspect sabotage behind the incident. According to official sources, a team of forensic experts inspected the burnt compartment, which has been towed to Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh to collect samples for chemical analysis.

The investigators noticed a four inch-wide hole near Seat No. 7, which could have been caused by some explosive or other combustible material. The fire seems to have erupted from the floor of the train as it was completely burnt in the area where the fire started, the investigators said.

Moreover, 22 of the 26 bodies in the bogie were found on the berths in which they were sleeping.

Therefore, the experts have reason to believe that the fire spread very quickly, giving little time for the unfortunate passengers to escape, which, they said, would not have been the case if the blaze had occurred due to a short circuit as presumed earlier.

“If the fire was caused due to a short circuit, the blaze should have erupted from the top of the coach as all the electrical wiring of the train are fixed to the roof, but that is not the case. It is very early to come to any conclusion. We are drawing inferences after examining the burnt bogie. We can clearly determine the cause of the fire only after the che­mical analysis report reaches us”, an official said.

The forensic experts took photographs of the different spots in the bogie and have collected around 50 samples of different materials.

The samples will be sent for chemical analysis to a laboratory in Hyderabad, which is expected to submit its report after seven days.

Meanwhile, as many as 19 of the 26 bodies have been identified so far.

unfortunately this is wiki but a similar incident happened near Nellore

Nellore train fire
The Nellore train fire occurred on 30 July 2012, when the Chennai-bound Tamil Nadu Express train caught fire at 4:22 am near Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India. At least 32 passengers died and 27 were injured. The fire gutted the S-11 sleeper coach in 20 minutes. A railway emergency crew prevented the fire from spreading to the other coaches.
The train passed through the Nellore station at 4:15 am and caught fire at 4:22 am. It was moving at a speed of around 70 kilometers per hour (43 mph). The driver stopped the train after a gateman at a railway crossing spotted smoke and fire from the S-11 coach and alerted authorities. Due to sweeping winds, the coach was quickly engulfed in flames.

I had the misfortune of reading ToI today (no other news papers available). There was a report which stated that the TTE of the coach is missing. This hole, they are talking about is right under the seat/berth of the TTE (Berth #7). He has not been identified among the dead, and is presumed to be alive. But he has not reported for the official IR enquiry, and his mobile phone is now switched off.

in eastern India (WB-Assam belt), vendors used to ride onboard the trains with a portable stove made by housing a kerosene stove inside a cut out tin dabba. rotis, tarkari and boiled egg. fire risk, but nobody seemed to prevent them hitching rides from stn to stn and doing sales both on platform and onboard. today probably those kerosene stoves are gone and the small gas cylinders with integrated burner used.

SIMI men with 500 detonators arrested
The Madhya Pradesh Anti Terrorist Squad made four crucial arrests of SIMI activists on whom pipe bombs and 500 detonators were found. Among the four who have been arrested one is said to be the nephew of Safdar Nagori who was the founder of the radical SIMI.

...
According to the tip off these four persons were planning to carry out strikes in Ujjain and other parts of Madhya Pradesh. The SIMI has been active in this part of the state and have been looking to strike at any given opportunity. Even the recent jail break by SIMI activists in Madhya Pradesh is an indication of how active this group is.

The SIMI has been looking to attack Madhya Pradesh since the past five years now. They feel that the arrest of Safdar Nagori by the Madhya Pradesh police had dampened them and their plans. As a retaliatory measure they were looking to strike at MP.

There is a considerable cadre strength of the radical SIMI in MP. However following the arrest of Nagori they have disintegrated and an attack according to the SIMI would raise their spirits and make the outfit a force to reckon with.

Police sources say that the seizure of 500 detonators only show the magnitude of the plan they had in mind. They had planned on using some of them in Ujjain and pass on the rest to the other modules in the state.

Remember reading it in The Hindu that the TTE has finally appeared before the enquiry commission. As per him, he was on the other side of the coach (not any where near Berth #7), and even helped passengers to move towards safety. I do feel that the TTE is not very forthcoming. First thing which should be asked was, whether he had given out his berth to a non-bonafide passenger. There is more, than what meets the eye.

On November 8, 2012 it is reported that Kerala Government still not complied Kerala High Court order to pay compensation Rs 10 lakhs.
Any idea if the church was used to punish Shri Nambi Narayanan and D Sasikumaran for daring to go against the powers that be and getting the initial help in building cryogenic engines?

This is a truely "secular" frame up. The first person who started out all this was Smart Vijayan, an Inspector of Police in Kerala. Later Siby Mathews etc. came in. And IB folks like B Sreekumar was already in. To be fair, Siby Mathews was shown as an impartial and upright officer.

Looks like Shinde forgot basic police training when he became a Minister:

No Link between ISI and Muzzafarnagar Riot victims-Shinde
...

The Centre on Tuesday said there was no link between Pakistan's ISI and Muslim youth, who were victims of Muzaffarnagar riots, but agreed with Delhi Police's statement that two suspected LeT operatives had met two persons in the area. :mrgreen:

"There is no evidence or intelligence inputs that suggested that the ISI had approached the riot victims," a senior Home Ministry official said. :eek: Minister of State for Home R P N Singh had also expressed similar view while replying a question in Parliament on December 11, 2013.

"According to information available by intelligence agency, there are no inputs suggesting any link between ISI, Pakistan and the Muslim youth belonging to the families of minority community affected in the recent communal riots in the district of Muzaffarnagar," he had informed Rajya Sabha.

The home ministry official, however, agreed with Delhi Police's statement that two suspected LeT operatives had met two people in Muzaffarnagar region but denied that the two residents of Muzaffarnagar were riot victims or had anything to do with the violence there.

"It is a fact that there are some ISI operatives in Western UP. But so far, we have no evidence or intelligence inputs that suggested that the ISI has approached the Muzaffarnagar riot victims," the official said.

There were media reports that suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists had approached Muzaffarnagar riot victims to recruit men to their module, creating a major controversy as it came three months after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had claimed that ISI had approached victims of the riots.
So does the unmaned shaemless senior Home Minstry official have evidence or reports that LeT and ISI are working together?
Could it be the LeT is approaching the riot victims as vanguard proxy for ISI?

Looks like senior Home Minsitry official has become a politican.

'NIA manipulated facts to implicate Sanatan Sanstha'
Panaji, Jan 7 (IANS) A trial court in Goa said the National Investigation Agency (NIA) tampered with facts to implicate the Hindu right-wing organisation "Sanatan Sanstha" in a 2009 Goa blast case.

A designated NIA court in Goa last week said in its order, released to public Monday, that right from the stage of filing of the first information report (FIR), the investigation agency was trying to nail the Goa-headquartered "Sanatan Sanstha" whose cadre was also accused of carrying out improvised explosive device (IED) blasts in neighbouring Maharashtra.

NIA judge P.A. Savoikar made these observations while releasing six "Sanatan Sanstha" members - Vinayak Talekar, Vinayak Patil, Vinayak Ashtekar, Dilip Mangainkar, Dhananjay Ashtekar and Prashant Juvekar - who were accused of conspiring to carry out a blast on Diwali eve in Goa.

Nevertheless, this sort of thing should not be encouraged



Pakistani Hindus burn effigies of Kejriwal, Sisodia
New Delhi, Jan 7

Several Pakistani Hindus Tuesday burned effigies of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Urban Development Minister Manish Sisodia for failing to rehabilitate them.
Supported by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), the protesters gathered at Jantar Mantar, where many of them have been camping and raised slogans against Kejriwal and Sisodia before burning their effigies.
"These people have been protesting for months and are forced to spend their nights in camps, braving the winter chill. Kejriwal and his government is just not bothered about them," Rajeev Gupta, a VHP representative, told IANS.
According to Gupta, there are over 800 refugee Hindus staying in temporary camps built by the VHP at five different locations of Delhi.

Truth be told, Over the years security for Ayyappa pilgrims has increased many-fold. I don't know how did this happen.

Ayyappa pilgrim injured in explosion, police begin probe
An Ayyappa pilgrim was injured in an explosion that took place at nearby Thrikkakara, when some devotees were having dinner near the Ayyappa Seva Sangh office, police said.

The pilgrim from Tamil Nadu suffered minor injuries in the explosion that occurred on Monday night, they said.

Police said they have begun a probe into the incident.

Meanwhile workers of BJP and some Hindu outfits observed a 12-hour hartal in Trikkakara and blocked vehicular traffic for some time this morning.

Ernakulam district collector Sheikh Pareeth and top police officials visited the spot early Wednesday morning.

From DNA India: (posting in full)
Sushilkumar Shinde knows where Dawood Ibrahim is; 'Lage Raho Munnabhai', scoffs Chhota Shakeel
Thursday, Jan 9, 2014, 7:09 IST | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA
S Balakrishnan

D-Company has challenged Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde to track down and extradite Dawood Ibrahim. Shinde on Wednesday disclosed in his hometown Solapur that he was in touch with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and has provided Dawood’s location to the agency. He said the government has sought the FBI’s help in extraditing India’s most-wanted criminal. Shinde, however, did not disclose Dawood’s location.

Chhota Shakeel, the chief lieutenant of Dawood, told dna: “Let him (Shinde) try his best. I will only tell him Lage Raho Munnabhai.” Shakeel himself is believed to be based in Pakistan, but away from his boss, who is suspected to be hiding in the Swat Valley which is under the Taliban’s control. The Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is believed to be taking extra precautions to keep Dawood’s location a top secret.

The ISI has learnt a bitter lesson from the CIA’s brilliant operation in Abbottabad on May 2, 2011, when US Navy Seals killed top terrorist leader of the al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden.

This time around, however, the ISI is not willing to take any chances and has thrown a foolproof security blanket around Dawood — a highly-prized intelligence asset for the Pakistani spy agency which is controlled by the army. The civilian government has hardly any effective control over the ISI. But, apart from the backing of the ISI, Dawood enjoys the patronage of a powerful leader of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League (PML) led by prime minister Nawaz Sharif. In fact, Dawood had even celebrated his 58th birthday on December 27 in the company of his close friends at a safe house.

Sources in the Indian security establishment wondered if the FBI would help India extradite Dawood given the current downturn in Indo-US relations. “The withdrawal of security from outside the US embassy in New Delhi has hugely angered the American state department. The embassy has now been rendered more vulnerable to a terror attack.

Given this scenario, there is no way Washington would extend any cooperation to New Delhi,’’ a senior intelligence official said.

Former senior official of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) V Balachandran expressed surprise that Shinde talked about taking the FBI’s assistance. “The FBI is not a world policeman. It would have to take the help of the Interpol, which in turn, will have to seek the assistance of the government of whichever country where Dawood is believed to be hiding.” he told dna.

Balachandran noted that the US has a doctrine according to which it can enter any country to protect the interests of its citizens or to defend its strategic interest. Even though the state department has declared Dawood a global terrorist and has ordered the freezing of his assets in the US, the don does not directly pose any threat to the US. In fact, there have been reports of the CIA having used Dawood in the past for certain sensitive operations in Pakistan. “In any case, the US is not going to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for India,” a senior police official said.

Indian intelligence agencies had on three occasions planned to target Dawood in Pakistan. But each time, the political dispensation had refused permission for the operation. In fact, the army had even prepared a plan to neutralise Lashkar chief Hafiz Saeed inside Pakistan. But the army was also refused permission.

Balachandran said: “The question is not whether we have the capability to carry out a surprise attack on Dawood. It is whether the government is prepared to face the consequences. Pakistan failed to retaliate against the US after the operation in Abbottabad because it dare not take on the Americans. But it will not keep quiet if India carried out any operation within its borders.”

.... In fact, there have been reports of the CIA having used Dawood in the past for certain sensitive operations in Pakistan. “In any case, the US is not going to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for India,” a senior police official said.

......
Raja, Anujan et al note the confirmation of US using DI in the past and based on his current location of Swat, probably still using him.

BTW whats up with ex Supreme court judges being targeted using false accusations. One was a state human rights commission judge who handed down the 2G judgements. Another gave the Ramlila maidan judgements and is the chairman of the green tribunal at present. BTW the objective in both cases seems to be get the judge to resign. A criminal complaint is never actually filed. In both the instances the hatchetman doing the job is Indira Jaisingh. Didn't somebody on BRF send out a jpeg saying that this lady is also in receipt of Ford Foundation funding.

Guys,

An important discovery here.

Justice A K Ganguly had to resign because of complain from Ms. Stella James (http://www.legallyindia.com/20131111409 ... -is-common) who works for NGO Natural Justice, Lawyers for community and environment.

And who funds NGO Natural Justice? Ford Foundation! Look for yourself. http://naturaljustice.org/about-us/governance/funding

I could connect the above after reading this:

It means , he could have been framed? media helped in running trial against him and sentence was passed even before case went to judiciary. Now next justice is in the cross hair. Who is the protagonist? That would be important dot to connect to. Are SC judges being sent messages that they are fair game if they don't toe the line.

bad form to voice such criticism
Former Home
Secretary G K Pillai has
ticked off his successor RK Singh for criticising Home Minister Sushil Kumar
Shinde, saying it was in bad form to voice such criticism after demitting
office.

"In my personal view, a bureaucrat should do something in
matters like these and take it up at the right level while he is in service and
then be prepared to take the consequences of the same. He should certainly not
do this after retirement ..or when he has joined politics. In my personal view, this incident should not
have happened like this

Singh, who joined BJP on December 13 last year, had alleged on Monday that then
Delhi Police
Commissioner Neeraj Kumar had told him that Shinde protected a businessmen
linked to Dawood
Ibrahim from being probed by the police in the IPL spot-fixing scam and also
influenced postings in Delhi Police.
