New Delhi: There was a conspiracy by the Burdwan module to convert West Bengal into a major terror hub over the next few months to carryout subversive activities in different parts of the country. This has been disclosed in a preliminary report submitted by the National Investigation Agency to the Centre.
The NIA along with central intelligence agencies is investigating the matter which is suspected to have international ramifications also.
The conspiracy was nipped in the bud after an accidental blast on October 2 in a rented house in Khagragarh area of Burdwan. One of the key suspects, Shakil, died in this explosion as he was apparently trying to assemble an Improvised Explosive Device.
Investigating agencies have already arrested there accused Badrul Alam Molla and two women, Razia and Amina, and questioning them regularly over the last few days which has provided some valuable leads.
The accused persons, sources added, have disclosed that they were getting regular assistance both in terms of finances and explosives from “certain elements in Bangladesh’’ with clear instructions to form a strong terror network in West Bengal.
