Suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorist Danish Ansari, arrested earlier on January 21, 2013, by the National Investigation Agency from Darbhanga District in Bihar, has allegedly told his interrogators that IM ‘India Chief’ Yasin Bhatkal alias Shahrukh, was in the process of creating a "library module" which would have acted as the media wing of IM later, according to Indian Express. According to an officer, "The examination of Danish revealed that Yasin was trying to penetrate the class of Muslims youths who were educated and promised them a platform for jehadi activities”. The group stopped such visits to the library after November 2011. Danish allegedly told his interrogators that after the Darbhanga module was exposed with the arrest of Mohammed Qateel Siddiqui (later killed in Pune jail), Yasin asked him to provide shelter. "So far, we have not found Danish directly involved in any IM operation but he seems to be aware of Yasin's plans and worked as a messenger in recruiting and creating base in Bihar with the help of handlers from Pakistan," said an NIA official. According to Danish, the terror outfit is currently cash strapped and Yasin is trying to revive the group by generating donations in India. This was corroborated by other arrested IM terrorists who claimed there were orders to commit crime to finance jehadi activities.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) searched four Districts of Bihar for Tahseen Akhtar, allegedly a member of the Indian Mujahideen (IM) involved in terrorist strikes in the country, Police said on April 21, according to The Times of India. An officer at the Bihar Police headquarters at Patna commented, "NIA teams have conducted raids in Samastipur, Darbhanga, Munger and Madhubani Districts in the last 24 hours in search of Tahseen Akhtar alias Monu, accused of several terrorist attacks.” Tahseen Akhtar, considered to be close to Yasin Bhatkal, ‘India chief’ of IM hails from a village in Samastipur District. The NIA has also announced a reward of INR 10, 00, 000 for information that could lead to Tahseen’s arrest.

All six persons detained for alleged involvement in July 7, 2013, Bodh Gaya (Bihar) blast were released on July 10, reports The Times of India. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) released two local men, identified as Binod Mistri and Dashrath Yadav. In addition, Patna Police also released four persons who had booked two rooms in a hotel near the temple for merely two hours on the day of blast. Further, NIA has come across certain factories in Bihar that manufacture small cylinders that were used to make the 13 bombs planted in and around the Mahabodhi temple complex. The agency is now trying to trace from which factory the cylinders may have originated and which dealer may have sold it to the terrorists."There are some factories we have come across that make such cylinders. But further investigation is needed to reach the actual source," said an NIA officer adding that a similar search for the clocks used in the blast was also on. Interestingly, NIA investigators have learnt that Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) has used cylinder bombs identical to those used in Bodh Gaya blasts in parts of Jharkhand. "Maoists often use such bombs, state Police has told us. However, this does not mean that it's a Naxal job. Anyone can copy anyone's bomb. Just as Bodh Gaya bombs having similarity of circuit with 2008 Ahmedabad blasts does not mean that Indian Mujahideen executed the attack," a senior NIA officer said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has issued 12 sketches and photographs of persons suspected to have been involved in the July 7 Bodh Gaya serial bomb blasts, The Times of India reports on July 11. Two of them belong to Gaya and Samastipur Districts of Bihar. NIA website features the photographs of Amir Reza Khan alias Parvez alias Rizwan alias Muttaki of Gaya District and Mohammed Tehseen Akhtar alias Monu of Samastipur District as most wanted. Moreover, investigations into the blasts are now focused on the three live bombs that remained unexploded and were recovered by agencies. "This is the only lead we have as of now as nothing has come off interrogations of several people who were seen in CCTV footage or had stayed in hotels nearby," an NIA officer said. Further, NIA has announced a reward of INR one million for definite clues about the perpetrators of blasts. In another related move, the NIA on July 10 lodged a complaint case at the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) in Patna and the three FIRs lodged at Bodh Gaya in this connection have been transferred to NIA. Meanwhile, two tweets purportedly from Indian Mujahideen (IM) that claimed the terror outfit carried out the serial blasts at Bodh Gaya and warned about a plot to attack Mumbai (Maharashtra) by July 13, 2013 have been traced to Pakistan. The Twitter handle @IndianMujahidin sent out the warning to Mumbai on July 6. It followed that up by claiming responsibility for the explosions at the Buddhist site in Bihar in a tweet on July 7, almost 12 hours after the explosive devices placed inside the temple complex had gone off. "Our probe has established that the tweets originated in Pakistan. We cannot pinpoint the exact city or location at this point of time since we have not got a detailed report from the microblogging firm," a senior source in Maharashtra ATS said.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has almost settled on the Indian Mujahideen (IM) as the terror outfit responsible for the serial explosions at Bodh Gaya (Bihar, July 7, 2013), The Times of India reports on July 17. "Going by the modus operandi, nature of explosives and eyewitness statements, the involvement of Naxalites, Hindu terror outfits or even disgruntled elements within the temple management can be safely ruled out. It is now almost certain that the IM or a local outfit owing allegiance to it carried out the multiple blasts," said an officer associated with the probe. In addition, NIA has found some important clues in the blasts, Union Minister of Home Affairs Sushilkumar Shinde said on July 17. "I can say that investigation is being done seriously, and probing agency (NIA) has found some important clues in the right and positive direction," Shinde commented. Meanwhile, reports indicate that poor quality of gas cylinders used in the bombs planted at Bodh Gaya, perhaps, saved the site from too much damage. Investigations by NIA revealed that one of the reasons why the 10 bombs that exploded in Bodh Gaya could not cause much damage was because the cylinders in which explosives were stuffed were procured from local factories in Bihar and were of very poor quality. "In some bombs the entire base of the cylinder has come out intact dampening the impact of the blasts," said an NIA officer. Another reason being cited for the bombs going off with a whimper is poor insertion of detonators in the shrapnel-explosive mix. "Holes were drilled into the cylinders and then explosives and shrapnel put into it. A detonator was then inserted to complete the circuit with batteries and clocks. It seems the detonators were surrounded more by shrapnel than explosives leading to reduced charge and poor explosion," said the officer.

It also showed him carrying a backpack. NIA believes the suspect planted some of the four bombs in the Mahabodhi temple complex. The sketches were prepared with the help of CCTV footage and eyewitnesses who saw the man leaving the temple premises in the morning. Among the three eyewitnesses, two are said to be foreigners from Sri Lanka and Thailand while the third is from Gaya.

A purported blog of the Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) has claimed that a Rohingya mujahideen trained by the LeT was behind the July 7, 2013, Bodh Gaya (Bihar) serial blasts, Hindustan Times reports on August 15. It is suspected that the blog was created in Pakistan. The National Intelligence Agency (NIA) is probing the blog with the help of intelligence agencies to check the internet address used to create it and for uploading materials. The blog (URL- Islamfigters.blogspot.com), with a subtitle ‘Mujahideen Lashkar-e-Taiba’ is littered with jehadi propaganda with videos and text discussing global hotspots of terror and even an interview of Hafiz Mohammad Saeed given to a Pakistani news channel. There are videos on the blog which speak in glowing poetry about LeT operatives with footage of 26/11 attacks running alongside. Another video claims that the Pakistan army and the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) helps ‘distressed’ Muslim brothers all around the world.

Police picked up two people as suspects of July 7, 2013, Bodh Gaya (Bihar) serial blasts from Brahmapura village in Madhubani District and handed them over to a National Investigation Agency (NIA) team for questioning, The Times of India reports on August 18. "Complying to a NIA notice, a Darbhanga Police team picked up Md Farooq and Shashi Ranjan Sahu two days ago and handed them over the same day to the agency probing the Bodh Gaya blasts for their interrogation," Superintendent of Police (Darbhanga) Upendra Kumar Sharma said. Sharma clarified that the two suspects had neither been detained nor arrested by the Darbhanga Police, but they were picked up on the NIA's directive. Further, on August 18, a team of NIA quizzed the two suspects along with the third suspect who is a local (Bodh Gaya) tourist guide, reports The Times of India. After an hour-long quizzing, the man from Bodh Gaya was let off. The suspects from Darbhanga are likely to be quizzed on August 19 too. Meanwhile, interrogation of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) operative Abdul Karim Tunda, who was arrested on Augusts 16, seems to be supporting an internal note exchanged between intelligence agencies and Delhi Police after the Bodh Gaya blasts that suggested that Rohingya operatives were behind the attacks, reports The Times of India on August 19. "It was Abdul Karim Tunda who was reportedly exploring the possibility of recruiting Rohingya youth for terror on behalf of the LeT," said a part of the note.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on November 8 arrested four persons, identified as Gopal Prasad Goyal, Ganesh Prasad, Vikas Kumar and Pawan Kumar Gupta and seized hundreds of bank passbooks, ATM cards and other documents in Bihar's Lakhisarai District in connection with October 27, Patna serial blasts, reports The Times of India. "In the raid, the NIA detained six people and recovered 300 passbooks, 30 ATM cards and other documents related to money transaction," the official said. NIA suspects that those detained have links with terrorists in and outside the country. Moreover, Police are ascertaining whether these four persons are part of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) sponsored funding in India or part of some hawala (illegal money transfer) transactions. Lakhisarai Superintendant of Police (SP) Rajiv Mishra said these persons frequently talked to one Ibrahim Khan based in Pakistan and transferred the received money to different persons in India after getting instructions from him. The arrested suspects have reportedly confessed their links with Khan and said that they used to receive money from him in the fake bank accounts they had opened with fake documents of other persons in several local banks and transferred the cash to other persons. For this, they used to get 20 per cent commission on transactions.
