Monday, 17 November 2014


India's National Investigation Agency (NIA), probing the Burdwan blast, has handed a list of suspects to Bangladesh.
"The NIA team has provided certain names in connection with the Burdwan incident,"
Police's Detective Branch Joint Commissioner Manirul Islam told reporters on Monday.
Asked how many names the list contained, he said: "There are a few names."
The DB official could not, however, say whether those on the list were part of any militant outfit. "These people have several names. We are looking into it. After that, we will know who they are."
A Bangladesh official, on condition of anonymity, told bdnews24.com that the NIA team has given 10 to 15 mobile telephone numbers and a few names.
The Indian investigators wanted to know whether the Bangladeshi agencies knew about them, he said, adding the NIA team gave details of some of the relatives of the suspected militants.
A four-member NIA team led by its Director General Sharad Kumar arrived in Dhaka Monday morning.
