A consignment of weapons used during the Dhaka cafe attack (July 1, 2016) was modified in India before it was transported to Bangladesh in mango baskets, India Today reports on October 4. "We have come to know that the modification of these arms was done in Munger city in Bihar state of India and then they came to Chapainwabganj border," Counter-Terrorism and Transnational Crime Chief Monirul Islam said. "A seal from a factory in Bihar was found on the three AK22 rifles recovered after the Gulshan terror attack," Islam stated. A month before the terror attack in Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka, the consignment of AK 22 rifles and some small arms reached the militants in the Bangladesh capital. Missing new JMB (Jama’at-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh) leader Nurul Islam Marjan, who was the field-level coordinator of the attack, received the consignment in Dhaka and delivered it to the militant den in Bashundhara Residential Area.

Bangladesh Minister of State for Water Resources Muhammad Nazrul Islam on October 7 said his country has a “zero tolerance” policy for dealing with militants and does not allow its territory to be used for insurgent camps, reports The Assam Tribune. The Minister, who was in Aizawl in Mizoram to attend a two-day international seminar, said that the Sheikh Hasina Government is taking serious steps against insurgents and terrorist groups that tried to use Bangladeshi territory as a “safe haven”. “Our forces have removed a number of insurgent camps from Bangladesh and leaders of the terrorist groups, including Assam’s ULFA (United Liberation Front of Asom), were arrested and handed over to India,” he said. India and Bangladesh have agreed on issues like dealing with insurgents by signing an agreement for not allowing their territories for militant camps, he said. “Information sharing is extremely important for dealing with the insurgent outfits operating in the border areas,” he said. Islam said Bangladesh has trade links to Tripura, Assam and Meghalaya, but Dhaka wants “better connectivity” which will facilitate business ties with other Northeastern States, including Mizoram.
