The Kolkata STF has arrested a man-Anarul Sheikh
and recovered 11,000 Gelatin Sticks, over 50,000 detonators
and sacks of Ammonium Nitrate from Bahadurpur village in Birbhum
District of West Bengal. The explosives were smuggled from neighbouring
State-Jharkhand in two vehicles but the drivers are absconding,
revealed the preliminary investigation. It is believed that
the explosives shall be used for illegal stone quarries but
the terror angle is also not ruled-out in the case, said an
unnamed investigator. "Investigation during the Burdwan blast
case revealed that Birbhum District has a good presence of Jihadi
terrorists and several Islamic terrorists were nabbed from the
district in subsequent operations. It is also possible that
any terror module might have collected the raw materials for
a massive terror plot in West Bengal or any other State. We
are trying to locate the drivers of the vehicles", said an unnamed
top Police official.
