Encounter killings by police - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaWe are covered with the assassins part, we need not worry. Even keeping the defence forces aside we used to have "encounter" specialists. Their sole purpose is to Eliminate internal threats. 90's were horrible, these encounter specialists are one of the reason there is peace in the country now. These guys are typically part of anti terrorist force which is part of police. Encounters are somewhat rare now but they do happen. Encounters are extra judicial killings with political backing.
SIMI or IM guys got away using technology, I believe police are catching up on technology monitoring front and still some way to go.

In the mid-1980s, R&AW set up two covert groups, Counterintelligence Team-X(CIT-X) and Counterintelligence Team-J(CIT-J), the first directed at Pakistan[76] and the second at Khalistani groups.[77] Rabinder Singh, the RAW double agent who defected to the United States in 2004, helped run CIT-J in its early years. Both these covert groups used the services of cross-border traffickers to ferry weapons and funds across the border, much as their ISI counterparts were doing. According to former RAW official and noted security analyst B. Raman, the Indian counter-campaign yielded results. "The role of our cover action capability in putting an end to the ISI's interference in Punjab", he wrote in 2002, "by making such interference prohibitively costly is little known and understood." These covert operations were discontinued during the tenure of IK Gujral and were never restarted.[78]
