NEW DELHI, Nov 13 � A team of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) will be visiting Bangladesh on November 17 to brief the authorities in Dhaka and also seek cooperation of that country to unravel all plans of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) terror outfit, reports PTI.
After getting necessary sanction, a team of NIA, to be headed by an officer of the rank of inspector general, will be visiting Dhaka to discuss the activities of JMB cadres in Bangladesh and India, official sources said today.
The visit comes after NIA made a major headway in the case by arresting JMB�s chief commander for Burdwan module, Sajid, a Bangladeshi national, Amjad Sheikh and Zia-ul-Haque, who allegedly procured explosives and motivated youths for terror groups.
The NIA team may also seek details about JMB�s network in Bangladesh and also about the interrogation of Sajid�s brother as also two other cadres of the terror group � Asif Adnan and Fazle Elahi Tanjil, who were arrested from Segunbagicha area of Dhaka city in September this year.
India will also share with the Bangladesh government details of its probe for preventive steps and necessary action needed to be taken by Dhaka to counter the threat posed by JMB.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval had visited Burdwan for having a first-hand knowledge of the conspiracy being hatched by JMB to target the Bangaldesh government from Indian soil.
The Narendra Modi government has made it clear that it will have friendly relations with all neighbouring countries and following that policy, NIA has been asked to complete the investigation into the October 2 blast as soon as possible so that all contours of the international terror conspiracy are exposed, the sources said. � PTI
