India’s National Investigation Agency 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 Monday.
The four member team will remain in Bangladesh on Nov 17 and 18, said a spokesperson for the Indian High Commission in a press note Sunday.
"It 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 told reporters at the Secretariat that the NIA team will work together with an intelligence team from Bangladesh.
The NIA, after it began its investigation into the Oct 2 blast, said members of Bangladesh’s banned militant outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) were involved, according to a news agency.
