The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman blast case, on January 2 secured the transit remand of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) operative Sahanur Alam, reports New Indian Express. And it will enable NIA to take him to Kolkata (West Bengal) from Guwahati (Assam), where he will be produced in a special court there on January 3 (today) along with Rafikul Islam and Sariful Islam, who had earlier been arrested for their alleged jihadi links.The NIA had named Sahanur as one of the suspects and announced a cash reward of `five lakh for information leading to his arrest. Subsequently, the agency will seek their custody for interrogation.A key motivator of jihadi propaganda in Assam, Sahanur was arrested from Larkuchi in Assam’s Nalbari District on December 4. Assam Director General of Police (DGP) Khagen Sarma said Sahanur’s job mainly involved motivating jihadi recruits in Assam. “He was closely connected with the JMB. He maintained a very good rapport with the JMB leaders both in West Bengal and Bangladesh,” Sarma added.

To gather evidence against alleged Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) member Rejaul Karim, who was arrested in connection with Burdwan blast (October 2, 2014) case, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is now approaching forensic imagery experts to positively identify him as one of the JMB members seen in a video clip of a training session at the Simulia madrasa in Burdwan in West Bengal, reports The Indian Express on January 15. Rejaul has allegedly confessed that he attended the session, and that he can be seen on the edges of the frame in the clip shown to him by interrogators. However, only one side of his body is visible, while his face is not seen. NIA sources said they were sending the clip for digital enhancement and forensic analysis to positively identify Rejaul from any distinguishing features on his limbs.

On January 27, National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrested four persons in connection with the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman blast case after carrying out raids across three districts of Birbhum, Nadia and Murshidabad. Among the arrested is one of the main recruiters for Bangladeshi terror group Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), Dalim Sheikh alias Faijul Hoque Sheik, reports The Times of India. The other arrested are Motiur Rehman alias Noor Alam, Habibur Rehman Sheikh and Ghiyasuddin Munshi. While Dalim hails from Birbhum and Motiur from Nadia, the other two are from Murshidabad. NIA's investigation revealed that senior cadres of JMB had established terrorist training centres and bomb making units in Beldanga and Mukimnagar in Murshidabad, Birbhum's Nanur and Burdwan's Khagragarh and Simulia. According to NIA, Dalim was involved in various terror activities including setting up bases and hideouts, raising and collecting funds, radicalising Indian citizens for JMB and providing tactical and material support to senior Bangladeshi members of the agency in spreading the network in India. Motiur worked closely with Shakil Gazi (who was killed in the Khagragarh blast on October 2) at Beldanga in Mushidabad. Motiur maintained hideouts, training centres and bomb making centres at Beldanga. Habibur was a close associate of Sajid alias Sheikh Rahmatulla (a senior Bangladeshi JMB cadre). Habibur maintained and ran the terrorist training camp at Mukimnagar madrasa (Islamic Seminary) in Murshidabad. Ghiyasuddin is a JMB member along with his wife. A close associate of Talah Sheikh, one of JMB's top spiritual heads, he singlehandedly trained recruits at the Mukimnagar madrassa. All the accused were produced in court on January 28 and sent to NIA remand till February 3. The Bardhaman blast accused were not just using madrasas (Islamic Seminary) as training centre for terrorists but even assembling bombs in the garb of running burqa (veil) stitching units. The accused revealed to NIA that they had set up a burqa stitching unit as a front for assembling bombs in Beldanga, West Bengal. This unit was also being used to recruit people for terror activities and training them. "JMB had set up a tailoring unit in which its members used to stitch burqas. This, however, was a front for using the site to assemble bombs. The unit was run by Motiur Rehman, a close associate of Shakil Ghazi who was killed in the October 2 blast. Rehman was also responsible for maintenance of hideouts and recruitment," said an NIA officer. "Dalim was heading the Nanur Madarsa in Bolpur (Birbhum District). He used to spot potential recruits and then give them daawat (invitation) to JMB," said the officer. The investigations have also revealed that senior members of JMB had established terrorist training centres and bomb making units in Beldanga and Mukimnagar of Murshidabad, Nanur of Birbhum and Khagraghar and Simulia of Bardhaman District.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on February 3 arrested one more person, identified as Mufazzil Haque from Mokimnagar area of the Murshidabad District in West Bengal bordering Bangladesh in connection with the October 2, 2014, Burdwan blast case, reports The Hindu. NIA alleged that Haque was running a madrassa in Murshidabad where youths were recruited for Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and he was a close associate of Sheikh Rehmatullah alias Sajjid, who was arrested by the NIA in November, 2014. The new arrest came days after four JMB militants, who were running terror camps in West Bengal, were arrested in connection with the blast. The NIA has so far arrested more than 16 people, mostly Bangladeshis in connection with the blast. NIA said the investigation so far has revealed that JMB had established its network in many Districts, particularly in Murshidabad, Nadia, Malda, Birbhum and Burdwan in West Bengal, Barpeta in Assam, and Sahibganj and Pakur in Jharkhand.India NIA Mufazzil Haque Mokimnagar Murshidabad West Bengal Bangladesh Burdwan JMB Sheikh Rehmatullah Sajjid Nadia Malda Birbhum Barpeta Assam Sahibganj Pakur Jharkhand

According to reports there appears to be contradictory views about the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) setting up the Burdwan (West Bengal) module, as the National Investigating Agency (NIA) in its chargesheet is likely to suggest that the operation was aimed at carrying out terror strikes in India, while Bangladesh continues to maintain that the intention of the JMB was to hit at the Sheikh Hasina regime, reports One India on February 24. The NIA says that on interrogation of the all the accused persons it has learnt that they had been setting up modules to carry out strikes in West Bengal, Assam among other states in India. Bangladesh on the other hand says that the JMB has only one intention and that is to shake up Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina and her government. They found it hard to set up modules in Bangladesh and hence chose West Bengal where they were readying a module to strike at the Awami League (AL) led by Sheikh Hasina. The NIA says that in its chargesheet to be filed next month it would state that these people part of the Burdwan module were planning on setting up several terror cells in India. The intention was to provide aid to other terror groups and also carry out a series of attacks in India, including a major one in Kolkata. The NIA says that the JMB is in a running battle against the Sheikh Hasina government, but that does not mean they would set up modules in India for that purpose. We have investigated that angle too and have found that the intention was only to destablise India. Further the NIA points out that part of the chargesheet would also deal with how the JMB with the help of local modules raised the Burdwan module and also gathered funds locally. The NIA also states that the investigation is an ongoing one and they could file additional chargesheets in the future. We have modules in Assam and Jharkhand also to be investigated and these things take time, the NIA official also maintained. However Bangladesh is firm and says that the operatives that they have questioned in connection with the same case say that the intention was to carry out strikes in Bangladesh. Bangladesh investigators point out that the JMB was using India to build up their module. They even procured funds within India to fund the module. They wanted to prepare bombs in India and transport it to Bangladesh, investigations over there have also found. Meanwhile, Bangladesh would request India to extradite all the accused India has arrested in connection with the Burdwan blasts case, adds One India. Bangladesh contends that the entire module was being set up to commit an offence in Bangladesh and hence all of them be extradited.

In a joint operation by National Investigation Agency (NIA), Assam Police and Indian Army, a most wanted militant leader of the IK Songbijit faction of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB-IKS) Roshish Basumatary, alias Jama was arrested from New Alipurduar in Alipurdar District in West Bengal on March 16, reports The Times of India. He was involved in the massacre of Adivasis on December 23, 2014. A source stated that "The operation was conducted with the help of West Bengal Police.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman blast has come across a piece of land in Shantipally near Santiniketan in Birbhum District of West Bengal which it suspects would have been used by the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) to set up a colony for its operators, The Telegraph reports on March 29. Senior officers of the NIA linked the possible plan to set up the colony in Shantipally to "operating a sleeper cell". They said a JMB leader in charge of the module in Birbhum had been instructed by his bosses in the neighbouring country to set up the colony. "It was a dangerous proposition. They had planned to set up a colony in the heart of Birbhum to provide training and shelter to new recruits. Talha Sheikh, a Bangladeshi leader who was the organisational in-charge of the group in Birbhum, had procured an Indian PAN card and used it to buy the plot in Shantipally," an NIA officer said. Talha is untraceable. Talha, known to be close to Sajid, the JMB's alleged pointman in Bengal, used to travel between Nadia District's Debagram and Birbhum District's Kirnahar, sources said. With an experience in training JMB recruits, especially in handling weapons and Improvised Explosive Devices (IED's), Talha was assigned the task of indoctrinating new recruits at the colony that was supposed to have come up at Shantipally. "Talha Sheikh had earlier trained youths in Bardhaman and Birbhum. He was assigned to do the same thing here," an officer said. "The piece of land is concrete proof that the JMB operators had found the location suitable to establish a base there," said an officer associated with the investigation. Birbhum came under the NIA's scanner after investigators found that a number of JMB operatives had stayed in villages in the District and used them as base to travel to and from Bardhaman.

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) on March 30 filed the chargesheet in the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman blast case, before the NIA Special Judge at Bankshall Court (Kolkata, West Bengal) outlining a conspiracy by terror outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) to use Indian territory as a recruiting and training ground to overthrow the Bangladesh government and impose Sharia-based Islamic rule, reports The Times of India. NIA says JMB's mission was to create a 'Greater Bangladesh' with portions wrested from West Bengal. Over 164 pages, NIA details how JMB operators targeted West Bengal, Assam and Jharkhand to set up training camps. "Its activities in India primarily included recruitment, radicalisation and training of vulnerable youths in a systematic and organised manner. The banned Bangladeshi outfit spread its network in four Bengal Districts — Nadia, Burdwan, Murshidabad and Birbhum," says the chargesheet, adding that a similar network was found in Sahebganj district of Jharkhand. "These bases were used for organizing radicalisation programmes, meetings, fund collection drives and as hideouts for cadres and their families," an NIA officer said. The chargesheet says how terrorist training camps were conducted at some madrasas (Islamic seminary) and other hideouts where recruits, including women, were trained in firearms and explosives. "The recruitment, radicalisation and training of vulnerable Indian youths was undertaken by members of JMB to prepare a large group of Indians, based on their common religious and linguistic identity, to join JMB and help overthrow the democratic government in Bangladesh," the NIA says. It names 21 people, including four Bangladeshi nationals. Eight of the accused are absconding. They include Indian operative Mohammad Yousuf alias Bakkar (the main man behind the Simulia madrassa training centre), recruiter Kader Gazi Rehman and hardcore Bangladeshi JMB leaders like its chief, Nasirullah, bomb-maker Burhan Sheikh, Kausar and Talha Sheikh. NIA took statements from over 400 people, 250 of whom will be cited as prime witnesses in the case. During course of the investigation, 32 people were arraigned as accused of whom 16 have been arrested. They include Gulsona Bibi alias Rajiya Bibi alias Rumi, widow of Sakil Gazi who was killed in the blast, Alima Bibi alias Amina Bibi, wife of Abdul Hakim, who was injured, and Hakim himself. All three were arrested from the blast site. The others include Ziaul Haque, Amjad Ali Seikh, Mohammad Sahanur Alam alias Sahanur Alam, Shaikul Islam Khan, Mohammad Rezaul Karim alias Anwar, Habibur Rehman, Faizul Haque alias Dalim Sheikh, Giasuddin Munshi alias Gias Master and Mofajjul Ali alias Laden. Moreover, two suspects, Badre Alam Mollah and Khalid Mohammad have been released. Khalid, a Rohingya Muslim from Myanmar, had created a flutter in the defence establishment when he was arrested. However, NIA says he has little link with the blast. The accused have been individually charged under the t Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for being members of a terrorist gang, committing terrorist acts, conspiracy and for recruitment, funding and training of terrorists. They have also been charged under Indian Penal Code (IPC) for fraud, forgery and cheating and the Arms Act for possession and use of firearms and explosives.

The National Investigation Agency's (NIA's) probe into the October 2, 2014, Bardhaman blasts could soon uncover the role of Pakistan's spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and al Qaeda in helping Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) run its operations, top sources said, The Times of India reports on April 13. The agency is set to receive crucial documents from Bangladesh on the funding, membership and association of JMB with other groups which it believes would shed light on the outfit's links with ISI and al-Qaida. JMB has already established a substantial base in West Bengal, Assam and Jharkhand. An official said the 39 bombs recovered from the hideouts of JMB members in Bardhaman were possibly funded by ISI and al Qaeda.

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) arrested Nurul Hoque alias Naeem, 'chief trainer' of the Indian module of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), from Howrah station in Kolkata (West Bengal) on June 18, reports The Times of India. Naeem also collected funds for the terror outfit and had undergone arms training under NSCN-K (National Socialist Council of Nagaland - Khaplang) in Myanmar. A resident of Bakshipur near Domkal in Murshidabad, the 26-year-old is a very close associate of blast mastermind and Bangladeshi national Sajid, say sources. "Naeem had been identified as a key co-conspirator and was absconding since the Bardhaman blast of October 2, 2014. A cash reward had been declared for his arrest. Several witnesses as well as interrogation of arrested JMB cadres had revealed the name of Naeem as a very active member of JMB, who was operational in Birbhum District in close association with Dalim Sheikh (in custody) and Talha Sheikh (Bangladeshi national, absconding)," an NIA statement said. Of late, Naeem had come close to bomb-maker Haath Kata Nasirullah, which led him to become the linkman between the JMB leadership in Sylhet, Bangladesh, and the Indian module. He used to collect funds for terror activities from Bardhaman, Birbhum and Murshidabad districts. Sources said Naeem's rise in JMB was hastened by Nasirarullah, who made him the number 3 in the Indian module. According to NIA, Naeem had undergone arms training at Mukimnagar Madrasa in Murshidabad District and Simulia Madrasa in Bardhaman District between 2009 and 2011 before allegedly getting advanced training at the hands of NSCN-K in Myanmar. JMB leaders made him a trainer and he coached recruits in firearms and explosives in terrorist training camps at Shantipally in Birbhum and the Simulia and Mukimnagar madrasas, say sources. He was also a motivator in radicalization camps, showing recruits jihadi video clips on a laptop.

Political parties, local gangs and terrorist organisations are among the suspects the National Investigation Agency (NIA) is tracking in its probe into the May 12, 2015 explosion in a suburban train in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas District, indiatvnews.com reports on July 13.

But we cannot avoid the West Bengal Police theory of local gangs' involvement. Political parties are also on our radar," an NIA official, stated.The NIA took over the investigation July 3, 2015 as per an Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) order dated June 26 and registering a case under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) including voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons, attempt to murder, wrongful restraint as well as of the Explosive Substances Act and the Railway Act.

According to a recent National Investigation Agency (NIA) report, 80 per cent Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) are sneaked into the country through the 172-km porous border along Malda District, and 55-60 per cent of the consignments from Bangladesh are circulated from the villages in 12 sq-km triangle with 18 villages, The Times of India reports on September 14. The fake currency rackets has taken the magnitude of a cottage industry at Mohabbatpur, Chorianantapur, Sasani, Gopalnagar, Khoribona, Chaknanipur, Misutola and Dangipara, which are easily accessible to Bangladesh's Chapai Nababgunj Distreict, notorious for being a fake currency hub, as well as Nepal, said Malda Superintendent of Police (SP) Prasiun Banerjee. "Also, people here work as labourers in Rajasthan, Punjab, Delhi and Assam and they carry the notes with them there," he added. Most of the residents in the villages, including women and children, are part of the illegal trade, which according to a recent Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) report, is crippling the economy of India. In Mohabbatpur, there is not a single home that has not been raided. In fact, hardly any youngster can be found there as most of them have been arrested and the others have gone underground, trying to evade jail. According to the NIA, Malda has become the locus of criminal activities, with links to the Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI)-backed network of terrorism. According to the Malda District Police report, FICN with a face value of INR 1.43 crore were seized in 2013, the next year, it increased to INR 1.5 crore, while till July, 2015 it is INR 1.97 crore. "The steady rise shows the Police and the security agencies have been more alert and active. Origin source of most currencies is Pakistan," and the quality is so good that it can hardly be distinguished from original notes," Malda SP Banerjee said. NIA officials said this was only the tip of the iceberg. "The seized notes comprise merely just 5-7 per cent of the entire amount pumped into India" and so it is easily understandable how much fake currencies percolate into the main economy of the country," an NIA officer said. "The high-quality Pakistan notes' exchange rate is INR 60,000 for INR 1,00,000. For low-quality notes, it is INR 45,000-50,000 for INR 1,00,000," a District Police officer said. A Border Security Force (BSF) personnel pointed out modus operandi adopted by the smugglers: "People from Bangladesh supply notes to those living in Indian villages outside the border. They stash the notes in sacks and lob them over the fence into India, where the sacks usually land into their counterpart's house." There are other innovative methods too. "Smugglers use defunct irrigation pipes under agriculture fields. Two persons, one on the Indian side and the other on the Bangladesh side, sit at the two ends of the pipe and pass the notes tied to a long tape passing through the pipe," the Police said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) investigating the October 2, 214 Bardhaman blast case has found that besides the Simulia and Lalgola madrasas (Islamic seminaries) used by the Jamaatul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) to train recruits in West Bengal, a third JMB recruitment and training base was on the verge of becoming operational in Murshidabad District, Indian Express reports on December 16. The NIA has also learned that JMB operatives had paid money to buy a plot of land to set up a madrasa for similar purposes in Kenduwa village in Jharkhand’s Deoghar District in July, 2014. “Interrogation of JMB accused has revealed that the Simulia madrasa in Burdwan was set up in 2008 and was meant exclusively for girls. This was followed by the Lalgola madrasa set up in Murshidabad in 2011. In addition to these two major JMB bases in West Bengal, the JMB was also in the process of setting up a third a base at the Ghoramara boys madrasa in Domkol, Murshidabad. It was about to become fully operational before the crackdown on JMB across states,” a source said. NIA sources said that besides West Bengal, Assam, Bihar and Jharkhand, its probe into the JMB’s network had also led them to Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Hyderabad, where local networks of masons hailing from Malda and other districts of West Bengal were under the scanner. “Some of the JMB cadres who fled from West Bengal and Assam took refuge in cities like Bangalore, Mysore, Thiruvananthapuram, Hyderabad and Chennai. Many masons hailing from West Bengal are employed in in these cities. Absconding JMB operatives have been provided shelter by some of these masons, who aided them unwittingly or were sympathisers. Even local police agencies are keeping tabs on the antecedents of such masons in these cities,” said a source.
