Saifullah had been overseeing the group's operations in Nepal, and was a key plotter in multiple terrorist attacks in India in the early 2000s, including one on RSS headquarters in Nagpur in 2006, the 2008 strike on a CRPF camp in UP's Rampur and the attack on IISc in Bengaluru in 2005.

Saifullah had nine aliases, including that of Vinod Kumar, and was in-charge of LeT's Nepal module for a long time. 'He was responsible for recruitment of cadres providing financial and logistics support and facilitating movement of LeT operatives across the Indo-Nepal border. He used the alias of Vinod while operating in Nepal,' a dossier on him says. He returned to Pakistan after carrying out jihadi activities in India and started working with LeT's chief accountant Yaqub and started fundraising for Jamaat-ud-Dawah and Lashkar. Gradually, he started overseeing recruitment at the launchpads as well, sources said. He had settled in Balochistan with his wife.

The attack on Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru took place on Dec 28, 2005. Two-three terrorists in Army fatigues opened fire randomly, killing Manish Chander Puri, a retired professor, and injuring four others.
