Bengaluru: Is Ali Baqr Siddique, the fugitive terror suspect of banned Tamil Nadu-based militant organization – Al Umma, associated with the October 2 Burdwan blast in West Bengal, which claimed the lives of two alleged terrorists and suspected members of Jamaat ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB)?
The National Investigation Agency (NIA), investigating the case, on Tuesday summoned three people from Chennai for interrogation in the case, said sources in the NIA.
The terror blast case, which has cross-border ramifications, is reportedly spread from West Bengal to Assam and South India. “The accused, including two women – Razia Bibi and Alima Bibi, with Badrul Alam Molla, are being interrogated by a team of NIA officials. We have some leads and are following them. Some more arrests are likely in the next few days,” the officer added.
Karnataka has sought information from the WB police and NIA about the case and the support network of JMB. “We are at a security risk because we have a sizeable population of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants in Bengaluru and other districts,” said an official source.
