Burdwan blast case: NIA gets Zia-ul-Haq's custody

Kolkata, Nov 8 (IBNS): A sessions court in Kolkata on Saturday sent the key conspirator in the Burdwan blast case Zia-ul-Haq to seven- day National Investigation Agency (NIA) custody.

The NIA had arrested Zia-ul-Haq from Malda district in West Bengal on Friday.

On Saturday, NIA raided his home at Khagragarh in Burdwan district in West Bengal which is just 200 meters away from the blast area.

Haque is closely associated with top Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) commanders including the absconding Bangladeshi JMB commander Sajid and Sakib alias Suman, an NIA investigation revealed.

The West Bengal Police on Saturday also arrested the alleged mastermind of the Burdwan terror module Sajid near the Kolkata airport.

According to reports, he is suspected to be a Bangladeshi national.

On Oct 2, a terror module got busted in Khagragarh in West Bengal's Burdwan district after an inadvertent explosion took place when suspected Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) terrorists were making Improvised Explosive Device (IED), thus killing 2 of them.
