NIA Conducts Searches in Jammu and Kashmir

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has reportedly launched a massive crackdown against suspected sympathizers of global terror group Islamic State and is currently conducting searches in around 60 locations across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala.

As per reports, the search operations are being conducted to hunt the perpetrators of last year’s blasts in Karnataka’s Mangaluru and Tamil Nadu’s Coimbatore. They said that the anti-terror agency is conducting searches at 45 locations in Karnataka.

In October last year, Jameza Mubin was killed when one of two open gas cylinders, he was carrying in his car exploded in Coimbatore. Mubin, who had earlier been questioned by the NIA over alleged Islamic State links, reportedly, had “low-intensive explosive material” stored at his house which was recovered during a search after his death, with Tamil Nadu police chief C Sylendra Babu at the time saying that the explosives seemed to be meant for use in Mubin’s “future plans.”

On November 19, last year, two people, including the main suspect, were injured in a bomb blast in an auto-rickshaw in Mangaluru.

The NIA took over the probe in December and revealed the prime suspect, Mohammad Shareeq, was carrying a low-intensity Improvised Explosive device (IED) which exploded causing injuries to himself and the auto-rickshaw driver.

The NIA said that and IED fitted in a pressure cooker, was also found inside the auto, while the police Karnataka had said that blast was an “act of terror” intended to “cause serious damage” even as an obscure group calling itself the ‘Islamic Resistance Council’ had claimed the responsibility of the auto-rickshaw blast.

In a letter in English with Shareeq’s picture pasted, the group had claimed that the suspect “attempted to attack the Hindutva Temple in Kadri, a bastion of the Saffron terrorists in Mangalore.”

Reports quoting sources in intelligence agencies claim that Shareeq had visited forest areas in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Kerala in November with the intention to establish the Islamic State terror module in South India.

PM Modi

In the aftermath of the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam that claimed 26 lives last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead a series of crucial meetings tomorrow to review India’s security preparedness.

The Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS), the nation’s apex body for national security decisions, is scheduled to convene around 11 am. This will be the second high-level review since the tragic incident in Jammu and Kashmir.

Following the CCS meeting, the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA), chaired by the Prime Minister, will also gather to discuss political and strategic issues. Senior leaders, including Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, Home Minister Amit Shah, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, Health Minister JP Nadda, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, will participate in the deliberations.

Later, the Cabinet’s Economic Affairs Committee will meet, culminating in a full cabinet session.

During the previous CCS meeting, held two days after the attack, the government placed security forces across the country on heightened alert and vowed strict action against those responsible. Measures taken included suspending the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, halting SAARC visas, closing the Wagah-Attari border, and downgrading diplomatic ties with Islamabad.

Additionally, Pakistani nationals residing in India were asked to return to their country, with a slight extension given to those holding medical visas until Tuesday. In retaliation, Pakistan announced the suspension of all bilateral agreements with India, including the historic Simla Agreement.

As tensions between the two countries escalate, tomorrow’s meetings are expected to chart the next course of action amid rising security concerns.
