Agartala: Tripura Police on Tuesday detained a man for his alleged links with the Jamat-ul Mujahidden Bangladesh (JuMB), state DGP A K Shukla said.
The DGP told reporters that the man identified as Nazir Sheikh took training in making Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and was an expert. He is also involved with many people in India and has terror links, Shukla said.
Sheikh is a resident of Murshidabad district of West Bengal and was detained from West Tripura.
The DGP said during the visit of the Dalai Lama at Bodh Gaya on January 19, 2018, three IEDs were recovered from there and the explosives were linked to the Jamat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh. Details on how the terrorist was detained was not disclosed by the state police chief.
“I can only say that he was detained on the basis of intelligence inputs from a place in West Tripura district. Interrogation has started,” the DGP said. (PTI)
