Kolkata Police busted a module of the Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) - a group banned in Bangladesh for killing secular bloggers – and arrested three of its members who were in the city to buy arms and chemicals from Kolkata railway station in Kolkata District on November 21, reports The Times of India. Two of the arrested are Bangladeshi nationals, identified as Samsad Mian alias Tanvir (26) and Rizaul Islam alias Riyaz alias Suman (25) and the third is an Indian, identified as Manotosh De alias Monda (42). All the three accused were arrested after three days of tracking following tip-offs from the Intelligence Bureau (IB) during two of this year's biggest festivals in Kolkata: the first came on Nabami, September 29, and the second a couple of days before the start of the Fifa U-17 World Cup in October.According to officials, the three men have been working in close coordination with the Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), a wing of the global al Qaeda having active presence in Bangladesh and believed to be behind much of the available jihadi literature in Bengali. Special Task Force (STF) officials claimed they had found papers mentioning some of the more important places in the city, including Esplanade bus terminus and Eden Gardens, where the India-Sri Lanka cricket match ended on November 20.The Indian national, Manotosh De alias Monda (42), a resident of Kholapota in Basirhat, was into arms smuggling, officials said. But the biggest catch for officials is Samsad Mian alias Tanvir (26), a resident of Bangladesh's Sylhet: this civil engineer was found with a fake Aadhaar Card. "A separate probe on the fake card has been launched. He did not have a genuine passport or visa," STF Deputy Commissioner Murlidhar Sharma said. Samsad is believed to be the "amir" (head) of the ABT's explosives wing and is responsible for the group's revival after a major crackdown in Bangladesh. "We are ascertaining with Bangladesh cops whether he is named in any FIR there," a top Lalbazar official said. Rizaul Islam alias Riyaz alias Suman (25), a madrasa-educated youth of Khulna (Bangladesh) is believed to have come to India on successful reconnaissance missions in the past. "Both Samsad and Rizaul have been staying in India for the past one-and-a-half years after crossing the International Border (IB). They have visited at least three other Indian cities, including Patna, Ranchi and Hyderabad. We have not yet been able to establish any particular assignment they may have had in Kolkata but the Bangladeshis and the Indian were in touch. The Bangladeshis approached Manotosh De for arms and an initial demonstration might have been completed. They were coming to Kolkata as part of a deal. Further questioning will reveal more details," Sharma said.

According to sources, interrogation of four Bangladeshi nationals arrested recently at Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport at Kolkata revealed that over 70 touts in North 24 Parganas, Nadia, Murshidabad and Malda districts of West Bengal are involved in making passports for Bangladeshis with the help of fake Aadhaar and voter ID cards.Police sources revealed that most of the Bangladeshi applicants for Indian passports have criminal records at Bangladesh Police Stations and want to seek refuge in India to flee prosecution in their nation. The investigation has found that while many of these criminals have terror links, several others are on the radar of Islamic terror organisations who want to recruit them like Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) recruited petty criminal Ajmal Kasab for the 26/11 (November 26, 2008) Mumbai attack. “The four Bangladeshis revealed that the touts lend their addresses in the fake documents and charged Rs 30,000 for making the passports. We have identified the 70 touts involved in this racket and have found their links with Bangladesh-based terror organisations such as JMB (Jamatul Mujahideen Bangladesh) and HuJI (Harkat-ul-Jihad-Islami).We have launched raids at several locations in the four districts.
