Four days after the blast at Khagragarh area in Burdwan District of West Bengal that killed two suspected terrorists, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in its primary report to the State Government has blamed Bangladesh-based terror outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JMB), reports The Times of India on October 7. CID report said that the blast was an accident and that the explosive devices were meant for Bangladesh. According to the report, one of the persons killed in the blast, Shakil Ahmed, was a resident of Bangladesh and a member of JMB, an organisation founded by Shaikh Abdur Rahman in 2005. The report also said that the victims were trying to develop improvised hand grenades and the devices were perhaps designed for Bangladesh. A CID officer, who is investigating the case, said "From Khagragarh, the Bangladesh border via Nadia and Murshidabad is only 80 to 100 kilometres away. This route is often used by the smugglers."

The central investigating agencies probing the blast are not ruling out the involvement of Indian terror outfits like the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports The Times of India. According to sources, SIMI's Safdar Nagori, who is now in jail, was present in this area between 2005 and 2009. An Intelligence Bureau (IB) officer said “We need to know who gave them financial and logistic support." The National Investigation Agency (NIA) report says that this matter is not solely restricted to activities of JMB. According to NIA, Shakil used to frequent the port area of Kolkata from where a top SIMI leader was arrested in 2012.

The CID officers on October 8 claimed that the terror links of Burdwan blast seem to have spread across the country to Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), Mumbai and Tamil Nadu, reports Hindustan Times. After tracing the phone calls made from two SIM cards seized from Rajira Bibi alias Rumi, the wife of Shakil Ahmed, who was killed in the explosion, CID officers suspect the terror link across the country. DIG of CID Dilip Adak said “It seems Shakil and his associates in Burdwan made and received several calls to and from Tamil Nadu, Mumbai and J&K barely 48 hours before the blast on the morning of October 2.” Another investigating officer said “We are now certain that Bangladeshi outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JMB) is involved in the crime. Shakil and his wife are members of the outfit. Analysing these phone calls, we are trying to find out whether other outfits like Indian Mujahideen (IM) also involved.”

CID has recovered a dairy, which was maintained by both Shakil Ahmed, who died in the blast, and the absconding Kausar, the suspected linkmen to the entire Jamaat-Ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) module has entries made in coded languages. Sources said the diary speaks extensively of an all-women educational institution that was set up in 2008 in Simulia in Burdwan District. It was in 2007 that Shakil had come to India and the module became operational. The educational institute, investigators found, was made of mud but housed the latest computer technology within its walls. Both Amina Bibi and Rumi (arrested in the blast case) had studied here and the language of instruction was essentially Arabic. It was also here that Amina met Hassan (who is now in hospital) and married him. Sources claim that the working of this institute was exactly how the Bangladesh-based Hifazat-E-Islam, allegedly a Jamaat wing, runs its own educational institutes in the Chittagong area.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on October 10 began its probe into the Burdwan blast (in which two suspected militants were killed and another person was injured on October 2 in Khagragarh area in Burdwan District of West Bengal) after registering a First Information Report (FIR) in connection with the case in Delhi, reports The Times of India. Sources said the case would be investigated by NIA's Kolkata branch. The NIA FIR has invoked five sections of Unlawful Activities [Prevention] Act (UAPA) apart from various sections of Arms Act and Indian Penal Code (IPC). The Hindu adds that the NIA will take into custody all the suspects for questioning. An NIA official said that “There is evidence to suggest that those involved had links in Bangladesh. If necessary, we will also contact the Bangladeshi authorities seeking cooperation in the probe. The material evidence would also be sent for forensic examination and analysis. The case papers are being handed over to us.” An Intelligence Bureau (IB) report based on the statement of the suspected JMB hit squad member, Razia Begum alias Rumi said that Shakil Ahmed Gazi, who died in the Burdwan blast, was the operations head of Bangladesh-based terror outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JMB) and the No. 2 of JMB's India unit, reports The Times of India. The Central investigating agencies said that the JMB module operating in Bengal, led by Shakil, specialized in improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and had 12 core members with dozens of locals who provided the logistics. An IB report says that the module prepared IEDs only on specific demand made from across the border and after money was paid through hawala channels. Sometimes, orders would come for deliveries in Assam. Security agencies are ascertaining if Assam insurgent outfits received these IEDs or they were smuggled to JMB bases in Chittagong and adjoining areas. According to security agencies, Police are investigating how many IEDs have crossed the border. Sources said that Kausar, who acted as the group's carrier and now tops Bengal's most-wanted list may have delivered at least seven "consignments" from Khagragarh. Since each consignment contained about 100 IEDs, over 700 such IEDs might have crossed the border, said security agencies.

The Police arrested six persons in Barpeta District of Assam for alleged links with the Bangladesh-based terror outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JMB), which is suspected to be behind the October 2 blast at Burdwan in West Bengal, reports The Hindu on October 11. The arrested persons, identified as Golam Osmani, Johurddin, Siraj Ali Khan, Rafiqul Islam, Sarbes Ali and Saiful Islam were remanded in 14-day Police custody by a Kamrup Court. Terror activities of the JMB attracted global attention when it created a reign of terror in Bangladesh by triggering blasts in 300 locations in 63 Districts, including Dhaka, on August 17, 2005.

The National Investigation Agency’s (NIA) probe into the Burdwan blast (in which two suspected militants were killed and another person was injured on October 2 in Khagragarh area in Burdwan District of West Bengal) is pointing to a bigger plot extending not just to neighbouring Assam, but also to Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) and the southern states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, reports The Times of India on October 12. The NIA has, based on leads gathered from the women arrested from the Burdwan blast site, picked up a suspect from J&K, a construction worker belonging to West Bengal. The J&K suspect, to whom calls were made from the SIM cards seized from Rajira Bibi, wife of militant Shakil Ahmed killed in the blast, was found to be in touch with two other suspects in Birbhum District of West Bengal. The NIA is now on the lookout for the duo. An official said that “Phone records reveal that they had contacts in almost all the major megacities, also in South India. We will have to verify the antecedents of each and every contact. Six of the Assam-based suspects who were in touch with the two men killed in the blast have already been arrested.” Meanwhile, the Assam Police claimed the arrested were linked to a module operating under the patronage of Bangladesh-based terror outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JMB). Importantly, terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has also cropped up in the course of questioning of the suspects. The agencies have found a picture of the ISIS flag downloaded a suspect's phones. Though the suspect claimed that the phone was being used by another person, who may have downloaded the flag, the NIA will be probing the angle further. The discovery of grenades and bomb-making equipment from Burdwan, as well as linkages across several states like J&K and even southern states, indicate elaborate planning and high level of preparations by JMB to carry out attacks in Bangladesh, adds The Times of India. Intelligence agencies believe that strikes were planned as retaliation against the Prime Minister (PM) of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina regime's crackdown on JMB elements. NIA officials fear the suspects arrested so far and aides contacted across states by the militants are possibly foot soldiers. The probe will now focus on identifying the leaders of the module. Separately, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers said that, the prime accused in the Burdwan blast, Sheik Kausar travelled nearly 100 kilometres before he sneaked into Bangladesh via Hakimpur bordering Nadia and North 24-Parganas District of West Bengal. The investigators have also reconstructed the escape route. According to CID, Kausar left the spot immediately after the blast, but he didn't leave the place till the next day. However, the CID officers are not sure about the exact day he crossed the border. But, they believe that he had at least five facilitators who arranged the logistics for a safe transit.

Even though Assam Police are yet to establish specific links between the six Jammat-ul Mujahideen Bangaldesh (JMB) members, who were allegedly involved in the Burdwan blast, and the al Qaeda, the state, however, is on the radar of global Islamic terrorist groups, said security sources, reports The Times of India on October 14. Such militant groups used the Kokrajhar riots (2012) to attract youngsters, investigation has revealed. "The state started featuring in discourses of pan-Islamic jihadi forces after the 2012 communal riots in Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD) in which Bengali-speaking Muslims found themselves being pushed to a corner. Some non-governmental organizations (NGO), religious and political leaders, who were involved in providing relief, also helped indoctrinate youngsters," added security sources. Ongoing conflicts between Rohingya Muslims and ethnic Rakhine in Myanmar have also led to widespread resentment among Muslims in the state. Investigation has also revealed that the six JMB members arrested in Barpeta were part of the outfit's plan to launch subversive activities in Bangladesh.

The New Indian Express adds that the NIA probing the Burdwan blast case is examining the links of suspected al Qaeda and Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) terrorists with the Simulia Madrassa that is believed to be a centre for training terrorists, around 38km from the blast site. Investigators said all the terrorists of the Burdwan module, who infiltrated the non-descript village in West Bengal to set up terror arms factory, were radicalised in jihadi ideology in the same Simulia Madrassa. Sources said “At least four teams of the NIA have launched a simultaneous probe at Burdwan, Kolkata, Nadia and Barpeta in Assam. Six suspects were picked by the Assam Police last week in connection with the Burdwan blast. They will be interrogated soon.”

The six accused, including two women, who were arrested in the Burdwan blast case have reportedly given some important leads in the transnational terror conspiracy, in which Jamaat ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB)’s key militant Kausar, who is now on the run, reportedly has connections with some Kerala-based terror modules, which are an alleged offshoot of the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), reports Deccan Chronicle on October 14. Karnataka Police and State Intelligence have also sought information from the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on possible terror links here after unconfirmed reports indicated that Abdul Qader Sultan Armar from Bhatkal, who is reportedly absconding and is recruiting vulnerable Indian Muslim youth for the global jihadi organization, al Qaeda may also have a hand in the terror conspiracy and the revival of JMB. An unnamed officer said that “The terror network seems to cut across states and international boundaries. There are reported links with some terrorist modules in Kerala, which are being verified.”

On October 14, a Dhaka court sentenced Rezaul Karim Reza, a Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) militant, to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment in a case filed over bomb blast before the then Hotel Sheraton (now Ruposhi Bangla Hotel) in the capital on August 17, 2005, reports The Daily Star. Reza was also fined BDT 5,000, in default to suffer three months more in jail. Three other accused Abdullah Al Fattah alias Shakil, Hafez Enayetullah alias Apu and Tareq Iqbal were acquitted as charges against him were not proved.

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) has placed a company of Border Security Force (BSF), comprising around 100 personnel, at the disposal of NIA to help it with raids and searches conducted as part of the Burdwan blasts probe, reports The Times of India on October 17. The Times of India adds that the NIA has found fresh evidence which shows that the terror module stored IEDs at several hideouts in four Districts of West Bengal. According to central intelligence sources the nature of the planning and the information from the interrogation of Abdul Hakim at SSKM Hospital in Kolkata point towards links with Harkat-ul-Jihadi Islami (HuJI), Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). The network's main targets in Bangladesh were Dhaka and Rajshahi but Indian cities may also have been on the radar. Intelligence Bureau (IB) sources said that the terror module seems much more organized than it appeared. According to sources, Hakim has admitted to making bombs for three years. He also claims that dead 'terrorist' Subhan Mondal is actually Suvan Sheikh, a relative of Shakil Ahmed Gazi, the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) No. 2 who was killed in the blast. From his statement, it appears that many locals had worked as foot soldiers, helping the module get land, money and daily logistics. Hakim has told investigators that the module has extensive presence across Burdwan, Birbhum, Murshidabad and Nadia and was scouting for new hideouts in West Midnapore and Malda. They recruited heavily from several educational institutes and had roped in over 150 operatives in the past three years, he said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is investigating the Burdwan blast case, in a preliminary report submitted to the Central Government said that there was a conspiracy by the Burdwan terror module to convert West Bengal into a major terror hub over the next few months to carryout subversive activities in different parts of the country, reports The Asian Age on October 18. The NIA along with Central intelligence agencies is investigating the matter which is suspected to have international ramifications also. Police have already arrested three accused in the Burdwan blast, Badrul Alam Molla and two women, Razia and Amina and questioning them regularly over the last few days which has provided some valuable leads regarding the conspiracy. Sources said that the accused have disclosed that they were getting regular assistance both in terms of finance and explosives from “certain elements in Bangladesh” with clear instructions to form a strong terror network in West Bengal. A senior intelligence official said that “Considering the close proximity of the state to the porous Indo-Bangladesh border West Bengal was an ideal choice for making it a major terror hub in the country. The investigations have thrown up important leads and we are working on them. We have already recovered a huge quantity of explosives based on the disclosures of the accused persons and have also identified some members of the terror module who are still on the run.” Sources also said that during the course of investigations it has also come to light that the terror operatives have already made Malda into a major centre for smuggling fake Indian currency notes (FICN). The Times of India on October 18 adds that with mounting evidence that the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) network has spread its tentacles across the central and bordering Districts of West Bengal, NIA has begun visiting each of the suspects' homes and questioning their aides. According to intelligence inputs, JMB cadres are known to recruit from their close and extended families, creating strong blood networks. Sources said that "once you begin questioning these aides of the absconding men, there are chances you can gain valuable leads."

Director General of Police (DGP), Assam, Khagen Sarma on October 21 said that Assamese youths who were arrested in connection with the Burdwan blast (West Bengal) have undergone a training under the Islamic terror network Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) to carry out terror attacks, reports The Morung Express. He said that "We have received information against some youths who have been visiting Bangladesh for getting the training under the Islamic terror networks such as the JMB to carry out terror attacks.” He added that "Some of those arrested recently from Assam's Barpeta District have been under surveillance for a long time. However, we did not have any evidence against them. Now police have arrested them as they have the evidence against them." "The JMB has been able to establish some base in West Bengal due to its geographical proximity with Bangladesh. It might also try to expand its network in Assam," he said. There has been an alert and police are keeping a close eye on some Districts in lower and central Assam and Barak Valley.

Specific intelligence reports reaching the Centre suggest that the National Investigation Agency (NIA)’s team probing the Burdwan blast case is facing a serious threat from subversive elements, reports Deccan Chronicle on October 22. According to the sources, even though the NIA team has been provided adequate security cover by para-military and local Police, the high threat perception shows that the Burdwan terror module had probably managed to establish a good network within the state (West Bengal) and subversive elements may want to prevent security agencies from busting the entire module. The NIA team has already recovered a large amount of explosive materials from some madrassas in the area and suspect the presence of Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) modules in the state. The case has serious security ramifications for both India and Bangladesh due to which intelligence agencies of the two countries are said to be working in close co-ordination.

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) expressed its concern that Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) continue to be pumped across the border from Bangladesh to fund the activities of outfits like the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and Indian Mujahideen (IM), reports The Times of India on October 27. The high quality FICNs are printed in Pakistan and routed to India through Bangladesh. NIA sources said that “We now suspect that sending in FICN is a form of the much talked about 'Money Jihad'. A clear pattern has emerged regarding the route of the FICN once it reaches Indian soil. A large part of it is sent to places like Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh that have links to terror outfits. The remaining has been tracked to southern states, particularly to locations from where terror modules are known to operate.” Sources also said that “Despite the developments over the last few weeks that has led to tightening of security, attempts are continuing to push in FICN from across the International Border into West Bengal. Even when IM co-founder Yasin Bhatkal was first arrested, FICN was found in his possession."

A National Investigation Agency (NIA) report on the Burdwan blast case revealed a new trend of women taking to Jihadi indoctrination and terror activities in Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh’s (JMB) all-female jihadi training centres in Burdwan and Murshidabad areas of West Bengal, reports The New Indian Express on October 29. According to top officials, these centres started operating in 2011 and recruited women who were trained in bomb-making and violent extremist ideologies. Sources said that the two madrassas, one is at Shimulia in Burdwan District and another is at Laal Gola in Murshidabad District were reportedly training only females in bomb making and other terror activities like transporting arms and ammunition safely from one area to the other. NIA officers concluded that Rejara Biwi and Amina Biwi, arrested after the October 2 Burdwan blast, were also trained in one of these madrassas and a few more madrassas in the bordering areas are under the NIA scanner. “So far, we have been able to link 40 terror modules to the Burdwan blast,” said an officer. The NIA report also said that Interrogation of the suspects have also revealed that at least 40 ready improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were shipped to Bangladesh in four consignments. However, Investigators were yet to ascertain whether the explosive shipments were moved within the country. According to the sources, the bomb-manufacturing unit was operational for almost three years in the house rented by alleged JMB terrorists in Burdwan District. Sources said that the Burdwan blast mastermind, Sheikh Kausar, who escaped after the blast is believed to have been in Birbhum District for three days after the blasts. He went off the radar on October 5. Unconfirmed reports said that Kausar may have escaped to Nepal and the Security agencies are learnt to have received information on his whereabouts. Further, the NIA said that the terrorist module operating in West Bengal had a specific design where not only local agents but also local politicians may have played an active role, reports The Times of India. In their report to NIA Director General (DG) Sharad Kumar, investigators hinted at the involvement of at least 40 politicians helped these terrorists gain a foothold in West Bengal. In addition, a status report on the probe into the Burdwan blast states at least 165 to 190 Bangladeshis managed to sneak into India in the past few months to join JMB terror modules. Investigators have identified as many as 27 routes used by terrorists to move within the country and sneak out. NIA has broadly divided the routes in three categories, inter-Districts, inter-State and borders with Bangladesh and Nepal. Report said that nearly 58 terror modules had bases in nine Districts of Bengal, including Burdwan, Birbhum, Nadia, Murshidabad, Jalpaiguri, Cooch Behar, Howrah, and South and North 24-Parganas. It is also believed that these routes were chosen to give them easy access to Uttar Pradesh (UP), Bihar, Jharkhand and Sikkim and Bangladesh and Nepal.
