On March 2, acting on a tip off, the Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata Police arrested one person, identified as Chandrasekhar Jaiswal and uncovered a Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) racket, reports dnaindia.com.

The discovery of a Fake Indian Currency Note (FICN) production unit in Kolkata (West Bengal) has sent alarm bells ringing in the security establishment, The Times of India reports on March 4. Housed in a three-storeyed residential building, at Kankurgachi area of the city the racket is suspected to have been in operation for nearly five years. Police have sought help from all central agencies, including National Investigation Agency (NIA). The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (UMHA) and Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have also been alerted. "If they are manufacturing foreign currencies, it is obvious they have ready buyers. Besides, they would need raw material and dices to replicate foreign currencies. It is obvious the gang was operating in close coordination with an international racket. We cannot move forward with the probe unless we get proper assistance from central agencies," a Police officer said.

A court on March 22, sent Abdul Wahab Momin, a key accused in October 2, 2015 Bardhaman blast, to custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) till March 31, 2015, reports The Hindu. Momin, was earlier arrested on March 21 by NIA from Sealdah area of Kolkata. Contending that Momin was involved in facilitating shelter for Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) cadres in West Bengal, the NIA counsel said his custody was essential to extract information about other absconding accused. NIA claimed that its investigation has so far showed that the JMB had established its network in many Districts — particularly in Murshidabad, Nadia, Malda, Birbhum and Bardhaman in West Bengal, Barpeta in Assam, and Sahibganj and Pakur in Jharkhand. As many as 15 people suspected to be involved in the case are absconding.

A joint operation by the Border Security Force (BSF) and West Bengal Police led to the arrest of two persons, identified as Abdul Rauf Mandal and Rahima Mandal, and seizure of 10 country-made pistols, ammunition and a suspicious looking chemical from their possession at the Bongaon bus stand of North 24-Parganas District on March 24, reports The Times of India. The suspects have been arrested and a search is on for the man who was to collect the consignment from them. The white chemical found with the guns and ammunition has been sent for analysis. Officers suspect that it is some variety of low-grade explosive that was to be used to make crude bombs. Later during interrogation, Rahima told interrogators that she had received the consignment from a person in Jamalpur area of Munger District in the State of Bihar and was returning to Patkilpota to hand it over to one Taleb Mondal. A search has been launched for Taleb as he could tell authorities to who he planned to hand over the weapons and suspected explosive.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) probing the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman blast has come across a piece of land in Shantipally near Santiniketan in Birbhum District of West Bengal which it suspects would have been used by the Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) to set up a colony for its operators, The Telegraph reports on March 29. Senior officers of the NIA linked the possible plan to set up the colony in Shantipally to "operating a sleeper cell". They said a JMB leader in charge of the module in Birbhum had been instructed by his bosses in the neighbouring country to set up the colony. "It was a dangerous proposition. They had planned to set up a colony in the heart of Birbhum to provide training and shelter to new recruits. Talha Sheikh, a Bangladeshi leader who was the organisational in-charge of the group in Birbhum, had procured an Indian PAN card and used it to buy the plot in Shantipally," an NIA officer said. Talha is untraceable. Talha, known to be close to Sajid, the JMB's alleged pointman in Bengal, used to travel between Nadia District's Debagram and Birbhum District's Kirnahar, sources said. With an experience in training JMB recruits, especially in handling weapons and Improvised Explosive Devices (IED's), Talha was assigned the task of indoctrinating new recruits at the colony that was supposed to have come up at Shantipally. "Talha Sheikh had earlier trained youths in Bardhaman and Birbhum. He was assigned to do the same thing here," an officer said. "The piece of land is concrete proof that the JMB operators had found the location suitable to establish a base there," said an officer associated with the investigation. Birbhum came under the NIA's scanner after investigators found that a number of JMB operatives had stayed in villages in the District and used them as base to travel to and from Bardhaman.

The National Investigating Agency (NIA) on March 30 filed the chargesheet in the October 2, 2014 Bardhaman blast case, before the NIA Special Judge at Bankshall Court (Kolkata, West Bengal) outlining a conspiracy by terror outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) to use Indian territory as a recruiting and training ground to overthrow the Bangladesh government and impose Sharia-based Islamic rule, reports The Times of India. NIA says JMB's mission was to create a 'Greater Bangladesh' with portions wrested from West Bengal. Over 164 pages, NIA details how JMB operators targeted West Bengal, Assam and Jharkhand to set up training camps. "Its activities in India primarily included recruitment, radicalisation and training of vulnerable youths in a systematic and organised manner. The banned Bangladeshi outfit spread its network in four Bengal Districts — Nadia, Burdwan, Murshidabad and Birbhum," says the chargesheet, adding that a similar network was found in Sahebganj district of Jharkhand. "These bases were used for organizing radicalisation programmes, meetings, fund collection drives and as hideouts for cadres and their families," an NIA officer said. The chargesheet says how terrorist training camps were conducted at some madrasas (Islamic seminary) and other hideouts where recruits, including women, were trained in firearms and explosives. "The recruitment, radicalisation and training of vulnerable Indian youths was undertaken by members of JMB to prepare a large group of Indians, based on their common religious and linguistic identity, to join JMB and help overthrow the democratic government in Bangladesh," the NIA says. It names 21 people, including four Bangladeshi nationals. Eight of the accused are absconding. They include Indian operative Mohammad Yousuf alias Bakkar (the main man behind the Simulia madrassa training centre), recruiter Kader Gazi Rehman and hardcore Bangladeshi JMB leaders like its chief, Nasirullah, bomb-maker Burhan Sheikh, Kausar and Talha Sheikh. NIA took statements from over 400 people, 250 of whom will be cited as prime witnesses in the case. During course of the investigation, 32 people were arraigned as accused of whom 16 have been arrested. They include Gulsona Bibi alias Rajiya Bibi alias Rumi, widow of Sakil Gazi who was killed in the blast, Alima Bibi alias Amina Bibi, wife of Abdul Hakim, who was injured, and Hakim himself. All three were arrested from the blast site. The others include Ziaul Haque, Amjad Ali Seikh, Mohammad Sahanur Alam alias Sahanur Alam, Shaikul Islam Khan, Mohammad Rezaul Karim alias Anwar, Habibur Rehman, Faizul Haque alias Dalim Sheikh, Giasuddin Munshi alias Gias Master and Mofajjul Ali alias Laden. Moreover, two suspects, Badre Alam Mollah and Khalid Mohammad have been released. Khalid, a Rohingya Muslim from Myanmar, had created a flutter in the defence establishment when he was arrested. However, NIA says he has little link with the blast. The accused have been individually charged under the t Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for being members of a terrorist gang, committing terrorist acts, conspiracy and for recruitment, funding and training of terrorists. They have also been charged under Indian Penal Code (IPC) for fraud, forgery and cheating and the Arms Act for possession and use of firearms and explosives.

Indian Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh, on a two-day visit to West Bengal, surveyed the India-Bangladesh border and visited border enclaves in Cooch Behar District on March 31, reports Gulf News. Besides holding talks with officers of the Border Security Force (BSF) and the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), the UHM said a letter to the West Bengal government has been sent for acquiring land for fencing parts of the border that remain unfenced. “It was a cordial meet with BSF and BGB officers. Besides visiting the border, the visit was also to inquire about the problems that our BSF personnel may have. I was here also to look into how the border area development works is progressing,” Singh commented. Singh met BGB officers at Panbari border outpost before heading towards the Tin Bigha corridor, a strip of land leased to Bangladesh to allow access to its Dahagrama-Angarpota enclaves. “The visit was also aimed to gather information about the enclave dwellers,” Rajnath Singh said after visiting a Bangladeshi enclave in Balapukhri in Cooch Behar and taking stock of the ground reality in the area ahead of the implementation of the Land Boundary Agreement (LBA) with Bangladesh.
