The Delhi Police has arrested Hanif Shaikh, a member of the proscribed organisation SIMI, after 22 years of searches.

The Centre on Monday gave powers to all states and Union Territories to declare the terrorist group Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) a banned organisation under the anti-terror law UAPA.

A special National Investigation Agency (NIA) court in Lucknow has convicted five members of the banned organisation SIMI to commit terrorist acts and sentenced them to rigorous imprisonment in the 2014 Bijnor blast case

A terrorist of the Students' Islamic Movement of India who had been on the run for the last 19 years has been arrested, the Delhi Police said in a statement. The 58-year-old accused, Abdullah Danish, was "one of the most elusive members" of the terrorist group SIMI and was wanted for sedition in the national capital, said senior police officer of t...

BJP members in the Lok Sabha today alleged that the erstwhile UPA government had allowed LeT and SIMI terrorists to go scot-free in the Samjhauta train blast case and "defamed" the Hindu religion, a reference to the arrest of Hindutva right wingers.

Our founding fathers fought a long and painful struggle to give us the rights and liberties enshrined in our constitution and we will fight till death to protect the right to question anyone who rides roughshod over them. So yes, Mr. Rijiju, doubting you is in my culture. And thank God for that.

Fake encounters such as those in Gujarat and now in Madhya Pradesh cannot take place without the sanction of the political leadership. The NIA investigation into the Bhopal killings, including that of Ramashankar Yadav, will not bring out the truth.

The manner in which eight members of banned group SIMI were gunned down in Madhya Pradesh is being questioned by the country's top human rights body and the opposition. Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has declared that offensive.

Amid controversy over the "encounter" killing of eight alleged SIMI terrorists by Madhya Pradesh Police, Union Minister Harsh Vardhan took a dig at opposition parties saying that for them "human rights are only for terrorists," while "the lives of soldiers don't matter."

The eight members of banned group SIMI that escaped from prison and were then gunned down on Sunday "were planning a huge terror attack," said Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Bhupinder Singh to NDTV, adding that a "big network" made their jail break possible.

After the police gunned down eight members of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India or SIMI, the top official at the prison that they escaped from in Bhopal has said the jailbreak was waiting to happen. "If you have so many SIMI prisoners (in one place), something like this is bound to happen," he told NDTV today.

Pummeled with serious questions about the killing of eight terror suspects of the Students' Islamic Movement of India or SIMI in Bhopal, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today accused opposition parties of "dirty politics" over the killing of men he described as "dreaded terrorists".

While a video showed prisoners who escaped from a Bhopal jail being shot at close range, raising serious questions about the police's action, the Minister of Jails for Madhya Pradesh told NDTV that "You should praise us for killing the accused even though they escaped" while admitting to "lapses".

"Zinda Hai, Maaro" - he is alive, shoot him - a policeman is heard saying in one of the mobile phone videos that have emerged after the killing of eight terror suspects from the banned Students' Islamic Movement of India or SIMI on Monday, hours after their dramatic prison-break.

Head Constable Ramashankar Yadav, killed by SIMI activists for escaping from jail in Bhopal, was a doting father who was excited over forthcoming marriage of his daughter but the tragedy has now pushed the family into profound grief.
