Indian Agencies Warn HuJI, JMB Expanding Through Proxies Ahead of West Bengal Elections

Officials cite a proxy strategy intended to give Dhaka deniability for attacks in India.

Overview

  • Assam and Tripura police dismantled the Imam Mahamude Kafila module in a joint operation, and investigators identified it as a JMB proxy.
  • Intelligence officials say HuJI and JMB are activating fronts staffed by Indian members and Bangladeshi migrants, with a concerted recruitment push.
  • Modules are operating under shifting aliases to frustrate attribution, mirroring the proxy approach used by LeT and JeM.
  • Assessments allege increased emphasis from Pakistan’s ISI and Jamaat-e-Islami, with more operational space after cadres were released following Sheikh Hasina’s ouster.
  • Security forces remain on alert in border states as agencies report HuJI proxies being readied before the West Bengal polls, with capabilities reaching both north and south India.
