ATS seizes 7kg uranium worth Rs 21 crore from a scrap dealer; here’s what happened

Why is uranium, a radioactive metal, used generally by nuclear power plants, being sold illegally?

The Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Thursday arrested two persons with 7 kg natural uranium estimated to be worth around Rs 21 crore. Prior to this, in 2016 the Thane police too had arrested two persons with depleted uranium. Why is uranium, a radioactive metal, used generally by nuclear power plants, being sold illegally?

What is the case involving the smuggling of uranium in which ATS made two arrests?

Two persons, Jigar Pandya (27) and Abu Tahir (31), were arrested by Maharashtra ATS on Thursday. Both were trying to illegally sell off 7 kg uranium for around Rs 25 crore online when the ATS team sent a dummy customer and got a sample. The sample was sent to Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) which, on Wednesday, in its report, said the material sent was natural uranium following which the duo were placed under arrest under the Atomic Energy Act of 1962 for possessing uranium without licence.

What exactly is uranium and what are its uses?

Uranium occurs naturally in low concentrations in soil, rock and water and is commercially extracted from uranium-bearing minerals. Uranium that has a silvery grey metallic appearance is mainly used in nuclear power plants due to its unique nuclear properties. Depleted uranium is also used as shield against radiation in medical processes using radiation therapy and also while transporting radioactive materials. Though itself radioactive, uranium’s high density makes it effective in halting radiation. Its high density also makes it useful as counterweights in aircraft and industrial machinery.


In this particular incident, where did the duo procure the uranium from?

Tahir’s father owns a scrap shop in Mankhurd. It is suspected that nearly two years ago, a truck with factory refuse had been sold to them. It also contained uranium that was heavy and looked different than the usual industrial waste. Tahir then stored it and spoke about it with Pandya during the ongoing lockdown. Pandya is believed to have used his contacts to confirm that the material was uranium and commanded a high value in the grey market. As they were trying to sell the 7kg uranium online for Rs 25 crores online, the ATS found out about it. While initially the ATS thought it was a case of fraud, it was after the BARC report it was confirmed the material was actually uranium.

Have there been cases in the past where arrests in such cases have been made?

The Thane police in 2016 had arrested two persons with 8 kg Depleted Uranium (DU) worth around Rs 24 crore. In that case too, one of the arrested accused was a scrap dealer. Former Atomic Energy Commission chairman Anil Kakodkar said factories using uranium as a counterweight in their machines are mandated to contact the Atomic Energy agencies and return the uranium to them. They, however, resort to shortcuts and sell the entire machines along with uranium in scrap.

Pakistan 'seriously concerned' over seizure of uranium in India: FO

The Foreign Office voiced "serious concern" over reports about the seizure of more than seven kilogrammes of natural uranium in India on Saturday.

"Security of nuclear materials should be the top priority for all countries," FO spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said in a statement.

He said there is a need for thorough investigation of how such a sizeable quantity of uranium could become available outside any state control and identify the gaps which made this possible.

Uranium is used in several areas, including nuclear explosives and medical techniques.

Last Wednesday, the Indian police seized more than seven kilograms of natural uranium worth around $2.9 million and arrested two men in the western Maharashtra State for “illegally possessing” the highly radioactive substance.

A case was registered under the Atomic Energy Act, 1962 against both the accused including 27-year-old Jigar Jayesh Pandya and 31-year-old Abu Tahir Afzal Hussain Choudhary after a report from the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai confirmed that the seized material was highly radioactive.

This is the second time in India that such a highly radioactive substance has been seized by police in recent years. In 2016, police seized almost 9kg (19.8 pounds) of depleted uranium in the Thane area of Maharashtra.

Very scary that this stuff is out there - are they no safeguards in India for such restricted material? Surely it can be traced back to origin?

India duped Canada into selling Uranium in the 50s, claimed it was for Nuclear energy, but instead built nuclear weapons.

No doubt the stolen uranium will be used to further develop the Hindutva bomb.

Wasnt it india that went on international platform and said that they’re afraid Pakistani nukes may end up with terrorist (as if they’re stored in a mall there).

Now this is absolutely concerning for world community that uranium is being illegally trafficked and sold in India. Something needs to be done about it. Just imagine it ending up with hindutva terrorists.

No it isn't.
I've worked with Uranium and you certainly won't die if you touch it.

What was seized was natural uranium which cannot be used to develop weapons. One needs enriched uranium for that. The enrichment process requires centrifuges and other sophisticated equipment. Even after it is enriched, on needs more technology to be able to make a bomb.

Saying that the seizure of natural uranium possess a threat is as crazy as saying that a person buying a few kilos of aluminium is going to build a jet fighter.

Pakistan on Friday expressed "deep concern" over the reports in Indian media regarding the attempted illicit Uranium sales in India.

FO Spokesperson Zahid Hafeez Chaudhri said that the foreign ministry had seen reports of "another incident of attempted illegal sale of 6 kg of Uranium in India".

"Similar incident involving 7 kg of Uranium in the Indian state of Maharashtra last month and other such reports in the past are a matter of deep concern as they point to lax controls, poor regulatory, and enforcement mechanisms, as well as the possible existence of a black market for nuclear materials inside India," said Chaudhri.

The FO reminded New Delhi that under the UN Security Council Resolution 1540 and IAEA Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM) it is binding on "states to ensure stringent measures to prevent nuclear material from falling into wrong hands".

"Pakistan reiterates its call for a thorough investigation of such incidents and measures for strengthening the security of nuclear materials to prevent their diversion," said the FO spokesperson.

Pakistan also emphasised that it is "equally important" to determine the "intent and ultimate user of the attempted Uranium sale" as it is important for "international peace and security as well as the sanctity of global non-proliferation regime".

Earlier today it was reported that the Indian police in the state of Jharkhand arrested seven people for having "mineral uranium" in their possession and for their plans to sell it in the black market.

The Indian Express reported that the law enforcement authorities of the Indian state seized 6.4kg of what they believe is uranium from two suspects and are on the hunt for the suspect from whom they had procured the material.

“All the accused were arrested from the Bokaro district of Jharkhand and were booked under IPC Sections 414 (Whoever voluntarily assists in concealing or disposing of or making away with property which he knows or has reason to believe to be stolen property), 120B (criminal conspiracy), 34 (common intention) and under various sections of Atomic Energy Act,” reported the publication.

“Seven people were arrested for possessing and planning to sell a mineral, which is suspected to be uranium after we received a tip. We are further investigating the case and the mineral is sent to the lab to check its veracity,” Superintendent of Police Chandan Jha was quoted by the Indian Express as saying.

But the publication reported that a press release issued by the arresting police force mentioned that the mineral that was seized was uranium.

Separately, the FIR submitted to the court showed that the police had taken action after receiving a "tip" on June 2 that five people — Deepak Mahato, Pankaj Kumar, Mahabir Mahato, M Sharma, Krishna Kant — were gathering to sell uranium in the black market.

It also said that the police took action as they were informed that if they arrest the five suspects, they will be able to uncover the operation.

“Seeing police, Deepak Mahato and others, who were discussing something, started dispersing. They were caught by force after the area was cordoned. They said that they all were in touch with one Baapi Chandra, who had uranium with him, and that they had gathered in order to find prospective buyers. All smartphones from these five have been seized,” stated the FIR.

Pakistan has reiterated its demand for a thorough investigation into reports of theft and illegal possession of radioactive material in India days after two people were arrested for possessing Californium.

Indian authorities last week arrested two suspects from the city of Kolkata for illegally possessing radioactive substances worth over $573 million, the senior Crime Investigation Department (CID) officer had said.

“We have noted with serious concern yet another report of theft and illicit sale of radioactive material in India. In the latest incident, as per media reports, two persons were arrested for illegal possession of Californium which is a highly radioactive and toxic substance,” Foreign Office Spokesperson Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said in a statement on Monday.

He said it is a matter of grave concern for the international community that an extremely rare sealed radioactive source (SRS) material like Californium could be stolen. “As in the previous cases, the arrested individuals apparently got hold of the radioactive material by purchasing it from inside India.”

This is the third such occurrence in India in the last four months.

Earlier, media reports had highlighted separate seizures in May and June 2021 of over 7kg and more than 6kg of Uranium from unauthorised persons in India, the statement said.

The communiqué said the repeated incidents raise serious concerns about the safety and security of nuclear and other radioactive materials in India, and the possible existence of a black market for such materials inside the country.

“It also indicates the lax arrangements inside India to secure imported SRS material. Pakistan reiterates its call for a thorough investigation and adequate measures to prevent their recurrence,” it added.

Indian security forces of in charge of this whole "uranium mess" should investigate the whole matter thoroughly. If terrorists get hold of it, it might get used against civilians.

Of course, I am assuming that Indian government isn't deliberately letting it get stolen...

Indian and support of terrorism leaves much to be desired...

I find it worrying that such hazardous materials are being possessed illegal. Silver lining is they are atleast being caught and authorities know there is a growing problem.
Better than some countries not even finding about these illegal activities

India beats Germany, UK and Turkey to bag IAEA external auditor job

India has been elected as the external auditor to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), a prestigious institution that promotes peaceful use of nuclear energy, for a period of six years from 2022 to 2027 after beating Germany and the United Kingdom among other counties.

India's comptroller and auditor general GC Murmu was selected as the external auditor of IAEA and the ministry of external affairs (MEA) said his candidature received majority support of the IAEA general conference. The MEA has said that the election is a "recognition" of India's standing in the international community and global acknowledgement of the CAG's credentials, professionalism and experience. "The CAG's bid received majority support of the IAEA General Conference for the position for which several competing bids were submitted from different countries," it said in a statement.

In the first round of voting for the post, Germany got 36 votes, India 30, the UK eight, Russia 11, Turkey 9, Egypt 20, Republic of Korea 2 and the Philippines 7 votes. The second round boiled down to the race between India and Germany with India managing to beat the European country. Russia and the United Kingdom along with China, France, and the United States are the five permanent members of the UNSC with India among the 10 non-permanent members elected for two-year terms by the General Assembly.

The total number of ballots cast was 125 as there were 2 abstentions, 123 were present and voting with the required majority being 62. India was the IAEA external auditor from 2012 to 2015.

Murmu took charge as the comptroller and auditor general of India on August 8 last year. Before that, he served as the first Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir. Murmu also served in various capacities in the government—as secretary of the department of expenditure, special and additional secretary in the department of financial services and department of revenue.

The 65th Annual Regular Session of the IAEA General Conference was held from September 20 to 24 in Vienna. Throughout the week, the organisation held 80-plus events on nuclear topics. IAEA is the world's centre for cooperation in the nuclear field, promoting the safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear technology.

Uranium used in industry as a counterweight will be naturally occurring uranium, that is mostly U238. To make a bomb, U235 has to be extracted by means of centrifuges which are only possessed by a few countries. So there is no threat of this uranium being converted into a atomic bomb.

India has numerous safeguards around the use of the radioactive material and the armaments thus created. Furthermore, with no reliable means of deploying the material, and its massive use as a propaganda item, there is little to no possibility of it ever being used.

on the other hand, with the abysmally weak democratic institutions of pakistan with little to any form of checks and balances and an army that has deposed democratically elected leaders on two occasions (or is it three), and with numerous self serving scientists who ran the occasional black market for radiological material, i would say that the threat is from within.

Two Indians were among eight people arrested in Nepal's Kathmandu for possessing uranium-like substances, which were brought from India to be sold illegally in Nepal, police said.

According to the Indian newspaper Deccan Herald, the police on a tip-off, arrested eight people after they recovered these substances from a car parked in the parking lot of a five-star hotel in Boudha, on the outskirts of the Nepalese capital.

The two Indians were identified as Upendra Kumar Mishra and Raju Thakur, both natives of Bihar, while the six others were all Nepal nationals, police said. The arrests were made as they were preparing to sell the valuable item for Rs350 million per KG, the newspaper quoting the Press Trust of India said.

It said that the police arrested Bhupendra and Nawaraj from the parked car, where the substance was hidden and six others were arrested on the basis of information furnished by them.

Eight people have been arrested on charges of illegally trading in Uranium, according to Nepal Police headquarters sources. Authorities have also seized nine mobile phones from them.

“We have recovered some substances, which look like uranium. It will be sent to the laboratory to ascertain whether they are uranium,” Dinesh Mainali, Superintendent of Police from the Metropolitan Police Range said. The police have initiated a further investigation into the matter after taking the eight people under detention, the paper said.

In March 2021, four Nepalese nationals were arrested for possessing 2.5 kilogrammes of unprocessed uranium. One of the arrested claimed that her father-in-law brought it from India where he worked in a uranium mine some 20 years ago, police said.

The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 and the IAEA Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM) make it binding on states to ensure stringent measures to prevent nuclear material from falling into wrong hands.

Pakistan has been consistently voicing its serious concern over the theft and illicit sale of radioactive material in India and by its nationals abroad. The foreign office in a statement last year quoted media reports which spoke of the arrest of two persons for illegal possession of Californium – a highly radioactive and toxic substance.

“It is a matter of grave concern for the international community that an extremely rare Sealed Radioactive Source (SRS) material like Californium could be stolen. As in the previous cases, the arrested individuals apparently got hold of the radioactive material by purchasing it from inside India,” the Foreign Office statement had said.

Earlier, media reports had highlighted separate seizures in May and June 2021 of over seven KG and more than six KG of Uranium from unauthorised persons in India.

“These repeated incidents raise serious concerns about the safety and security of nuclear and other radioactive materials in India, and the possible existence of a black market for such materials inside the country. It also indicates the lax arrangements inside India to secure imported SRS material,” the Foreign Office had said it its statement and urged a thorough investigation and adequate measures to prevent their recurrence.

However, months have passed since the last incident was reported and India was yet to take any action to prevent the movement of such material.

An earlier APP report said the theft of over 200 kilogrammes of nuclear material over the last two decades in India poses a serious threat of nuclear terrorism, necessitating action by the global powers to address poor safety standards in the country.

According to StrafAsia, a London–based platform for analysis on issues related to Asia, safe and secure operations of nuclear installations and facilities have always been an important aspect of a country’s nuclear safety and security mechanism.

However, the increasing cases of nuclear-related incidents have indeed jeopardized India’s aspirations to become a de-jure member of Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), a 48-nations body that controls global nuclear trade.

With such incidents, India’s position has been put in an awkward position with international pressure mounting over India’s poor safety standards. A leading US non-proliferation watchdog, Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) nuclear security index gave India the lowest ranking for its poor safety and security of nuclear material in its latest report.

Pakistan ‘gravely concerned’ at recurring theft, illicit sale of radioactive materials in India: FO

The Foreign Office (FO) said on Tuesday that Pakistan was “gravely concerned” at “recurring incidents of theft and illicit sale” of nuclear and other radioactive materials in India, criticising the country for its ongoing safety and security lapses.

The statement comes days after police arrested three individuals in India’s Bihar state for illegally possessing 50 grams of radioactive californium worth Indian rupees 8.5 billion, according to Times of India (TOI).

Pakistan has also expressed its concern over similar incidents in the past, including in 2021 when three instances of seizure of stolen radioactive material were reported in four months.

“Pakistan is gravely concerned at the reports of recurring incidents of theft and illicit sale of nuclear and other radioactive materials in India,” FO spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch was quoted as saying in a press release responding to a query about the recent arrests.

“In the latest incident, a gang of individuals were found in illegal possession of a highly radioactive and toxic substance californium, worth US$100 million in quantity,” the press release noted.

It highlighted that three incidents of californium theft were also reported in 2021, while five individuals with a radioactive device reportedly stolen from Bhabha Atomic Research Center (BARC) were arrested last month from Dehradun in India’s Uttarakhand state.

“These recurring incidents call into question the measures taken by New Delhi for the safety and security of nuclear and other radioactive material,” Baloch asserted, adding that they also “suggest the existence of a black market for sensitive, dual use materials inside India”.

“The international community seeks an earnest disclosure from the Indian authorities as to how a sealed Radioactive Source (SRS) material, like californium, was in the possession of the apprehended individuals,” the press release said.

Terming it “dangerous” that such sensitive material in India was “routinely found in the wrong hands”, Baloch said Pakistan reiterated its call for a thorough investigation of these incidents and for adequate measures to prevent their recurrence.

According to TOI, californium is a restricted radioactive substance used in nuclear power plants, portable metal detectors, and the treatment of cancer. Its sale and purchase are prohibited in India.

In May 2021, Indian police arrested two men in the western Maharashtra state for illegally possessing over seven kilogrammes of natural uranium. Within a month, Jharkhand police arrested seven people and seized 6.4kg of uranium from their possession.

The third incident that year involved four mineral-like rocks weighing 250.5gm, which were believed to be californium.

In November 2021, the FO had rejected Indian claims about the seizure of a potentially radioactive consignment on board a vessel that originated from Karachi. It clarified that the shipment contained empty containers that had previously been used for shipping fuel for K-2 and K-3 nuclear power plants.
