3 Bangladeshis among 4 suspects held

Agartala, October 3: Four persons — three of them Bangladeshi nationals — have been arrested in connection with Wednesday’s serial blasts that rocked Agartala. The state police have admitted that the terrorists might have sneaked in through porous the Indo-Bangladesh border.

The four accused — Nurul Amin (43), Mohammad Joynal (28), Abdul Malek (22) and Roshan Jamal (20) — were produced before a court on Friday and remanded to police custody for seven days. According to police sources, of the four, only Nurul is a resident of Assam.

“Md Joynal claimed he is from Chittagong in Bangladesh, while Abdul Malek and Roshan Jamal said they are from Rangpur and Sylhet district (of Bangladesh),” said Nepal Chandra Das, DIG and spokesman of Tripura Police. All the three were picked up by the police on Thursday night from the Lankamura locality in Agartala, close to the Bangladesh border. Agartala, the state capital, is located on the Indo-Bangladesh border.

Nurul Amin, meanwhile, was picked up on Wednesday night with five other persons after local people reported about their suspicious movements, following the serial blasts. The police has already registered five separate cases in connection with the serial blasts, of which three are in the East Agartala Police Station and two in the West Agartala Police Station.

The police are still trying to establish a link between the Agartala blasts on Wednesday with the recent serial blasts in other cities of the country. Though the police haven’t found any direct evidence of the involvement of the three Bangladeshi nationals in the blasts, the police spokesman said interrogations that are yet to begin, might throw some light on their involvement.
