India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) Director General Sharad Kumar will lead a team of the agency, probing the explosion in West Bengal’s Burdwan town, on a visit to Bangladesh on Monday. The 4-member team will remain in Bangladesh on November 17 and 18, said a spokesperson for the Indian High Commission in a press note on Sunday evening. ‘The NIA team will be holding meetings with relevant authorities of Bangladesh as part of ongoing bilateral security cooperation between India and Bangladesh,’ it said. Earlier, state minister for home Azaduzzaman Khan Kamal said that the NIA team will work together with an intelligence team from Bangladesh. The NIA, after it began its investigation into the Oct 2 Burdwan blast, said members of Bangladesh’s banned militant outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) were involved, according to a news agency.
