The Special Task Force (STF) of Kolkata Police on Tuesday arrested four operatives of an ISIS-affiliated terror outfit at two railway junctions here. Those arrested include three Bangladeshi nationals and one Indian.
The accused, who are members of the Neo-Jamat ul Mujahideen, were produced before a city court, which remanded them to 14 days of police custody. The Bangladeshis arrested had taken shelter in India to escape arrests in their country, Kolkata police said.
“The three arrested Bangladeshi persons had taken shelter in India to escape arrests in Bangladesh and were involved in recruitment and collection of funds in India too,” a statement from the Kolkata Police said.
The first arrests were carried at Sealdah station where Md. Jiarur Rahman and Mamonur Rashid — both Bangladeshi nationals — were held on the basis of intelligence inputs. Using information received from the duo, two others — a Bangladeshi named Md. Sahin Alam and Robiul Islam, a resident of Birbhum, were arrested at Howrah Station. According to police, Robiul Islam was helping the three others in recruitment and collection of funds in India.
“They were active on social media propagating their agenda. A lot of digital documents, videos and audio files, along with jihadi booklets were recovered from their possession,” the police said.
The name of JMB had surfaced during the Khagragarh bomb blast in Bardhaman in October 2014. A number of JMB operatives were arrested in connection with the accidental explosion that had occurred during the assembling of bombs in Bardhaman district. The charge sheet filed by investigating agencies had said that the JMB was planning overthrow the government in Bangladesh.
