Two suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) militants were killed and another one critically injured on October 2 when an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) they were allegedly making exploded in the house of a Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader in Khagragarh area in Burdwan District of West Bengal, reports The Times of India. The killed militants were identified as Shakeel Ahmed from Nadia District and Shobhan Mondal from East Midnapore District. The third militant, identified as Hasan Saheb of Murshidabad District is in critical condition. Police sources said 55 IEDs were seized along with RDX, several wrist watch dials, maps and SIM cards. Sources also said that among the half burnt papers found later were leaflets of al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and IM. Security agencies believe that since the militants were already assembling IEDs, they planned to hit an Indian city in a few days.

Police arrested Shakeel's widow Rumi Biwi and Hasan's wife Amina Biwi along with landlord and TMC leader Nurul Hasan Choudhury and they were on October 5 remanded to nine days in Police custody. Assistant Superintendent of Police (Burdwan) Tarun Halder said that "Following their interrogation, we have found sufficient evidence to suggest they are a part of the conspiracy." The Special Task Force (STF), the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) and the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) are looking into the possible involvement of groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami.

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."

Bangladesh has asked India to share any details of the Burdwan blast investigation that point to the hand of Islamist terror groups on its soil, reports The Hindu on October 8. The prime suspect in the blast, Shakeel Ahmed, who died on the spot, had allegedly crossed over from Bangladesh in 2009. He had earlier rented a house in Beldanga in Murshidabad District and only a few months ago rented the one in Khagragarh in Burdwan, where the explosion occurred. Expressing concern over the incident, Bangladesh’s junior Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said the Government of Bangladesh has “not allowed” its territory to be used for anti-Indian activities.

On October 7 reports that the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is on the lookout for two suspects Kausar and Abdul Kalam Sheikh in connection with the Burdwan blast case in which two suspected militants were killed and another person was injured on October 2 in Khagragarh area in Burdwan District of West Bengal. Kausar is suspected to be a regular at the house in Khagragarh were the blast took place. The CID is also searching for one Abul Kalam, a resident of Mangalkote area of Burdwan District. The investigators are on his trail after they found seven calls made to him from a mobile phone immediately after the blast. The mobile phone from which the calls were made was seized by the Police from the house after the explosion. The CID officers said that the mastermind behind the blast visited the house a couple of days before the blast to prepare a blue print of subversive activities. Police have arrested three people including two women in connection with the case. Those arrested include Hafez Mollah alias Hasan who was picked up by the CID from his house at Khar Duttapa in Purbostholi of Burdwan District. On the basis of information gathered from Hafez Mollah, the Police released a sketch of the prime suspect who is based in Bangladesh. The officers said that the sketch has been sent to all the Police stations of Burdwan and nearby Districts and railway stations to catch him.

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 Central Government on October 9 transferred the Burdwan blast case (in which two suspected militants were killed and another person was injured on October 2 in Khagragarh area in Burdwan District of West Bengal) to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), a day after the West Bengal Police invoked the provisions of the Unlawful Activities [Prevention] Act (UAPA) against the four arrested accused, reports The Hindu. A week after the incident, the Centre invoked Section 6 (5) of the NIA Act, 2008 to transfer the case to the agency.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has started probing the Burdwan blast case in order to track the money trail that helped the suspected militants buy raw material for the explosives, reports The Times of India on October 10. The ED is probing the case since there are reports that money was sent to the suspected terrorists through the hawala channel. After the blast, the Police seized INR 48,000 stacked in bundles of INR 500 denomination notes. The ED also suspects that huge money was sent from Bangladesh.

The State investigating agency said that it suspects the Burdwan blast terror network spread over at least three Districts of West Bengal, reports The Times of India on October 10. According to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) as many as 16 calls were made to Sheikh Kader at his Kirnahar home days before the Burdwan blast on October 2. A total 24 calls reached Borhan Sheikh at Simulia village in Mangalkote in Burdwan District and Yusuf Mollah staying at Mokamnagar in Lalgola in Murshidabad District as a build up to the operation. The call details record (CDR) points to a triangular chain touching Burdwan, Birbhum and Murshidabad Districts from where members of the Bangladesh-based Islamic outfit Hifazat-e-Islami were coordinating with one another. Raids in these areas have brought to fore specific job distribution of the coordinators from the three places.

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.

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.”

Top officials with access to intelligence inputs have warned that al Qaeda has apparently joined hands with Indian terror outfits like the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) to plan a series of bombings in the country during the festival season, reports Deccan Herald on October 14. The two groups were found to have joined forces when investigators discovered their roles in the recent Burdwan (West Bengal) and Bijnor (Uttar Pradesh) blasts. A top official said "To impart a big blow in India, al Qaeda and SIMI had chosen the month of October and their motive was to conduct a series of bombings on Dussehra and Eid-ul-Adha." However, the accidental blast in Burdwan in West Bengal put paid to the terrorists' bombings plan and they could not carry out any bombings on these occasions, the official added. "But Diwali (October 23) might be on their radar and any Indian city could be targeted by these outfits on this festival," the official said.

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.

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.

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.
