‘Religious radicalization’, extremism to dominate top cops meet

Kasaragod, Aug 27: Cybersecurity, alleged religious radicalization, and Left extremism are likely to be important areas of focus when police chiefs of five southern States convene here for a crucial meeting on August 30.

Kerala Police Chief Loknath Behera will host the meeting which is viewed as a precursor to a nationwide conclave of State Police Chiefs to be chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November.

The SPCs of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana are scheduled to attend the closed door conference. They are expected to cobble together broad policing strategies to be presented to the Prime Minister.

Senior officials privy to the preparations said Kerala had its own basket of troubling law and order concerns.

NIA sources claimed that Kerala’s highly educated workforce had of late become a magnet for Islamic State (IS) recruiters seeking to enlist professionals to what they call global jihadist cause.

NIA also claim that IS’ online mobilisers had persuaded at least 21 families from north Kerala to the IS in Afghanistan in 2016. There were disturbing reports that some of them were killed in military action. The police feel that the “deceptive work” of such organisations would only widen schism between faiths.

Cybersecurity is also on the top of the conclave’s agenda, especially in the wake of the “ransomware threat” that locked out individual users and crucial services across the globe. The State law enforcement’s cybercrime research unit, Kerala Police Cyberdome, is likely to be heard out by the police chiefs.

Another top priority for the State police is to deny an operational base for armed Left extremists in forested areas in north Kerala. (The police had shot dead two armed Maoists in Nilambur forest.)

 The State police are already involved in joint operations with their counterparts to prevent armed Maoist irregulars from dominating the forested area known as the northern tri-junction of Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

Bhopal, Mar 7: Independent MLA Surendra Singh Shera on Saturday said that he was not in any kind of captivity in Bengaluru and he will meet Chief Minister Kamal Nath soon.

"I was in Bengaluru for my daughter's medical treatment. I was not in any kind of captivity. I will meet CM Kamal Nath soon," Shera told reporters here upon returning to Bhopal from Bengaluru.

Earlier, Rajya Sabha MP and senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh alleged that the BJP had escorted four Madhya Pradesh MLAs, including three from his party, to Bengaluru.

"Last night, two charter planes were booked by BJP to take MLAs to Bengaluru. One was a 9-seater plane while the other was 12-seater. In the 12-seater plane, four MLAs were taken to Bengaluru. Out of them, three Congress MLAs Bisahulal Singh, Raghuraj Kansana and Hardeep Dang and one Independent MLA Surendra Singh Shera," Singh had said.

He has accused BJP of resorting to horse-trading in order to bring down the Kamal Nath government.
