According to DCB, Ansari arranged fake passports for at least 20 youths from various parts of the country to train in Bangladesh by slipping through Tripura and Manipur. To extend his stay at Kantharia madrasa as a student, Ansari had opted for a longer course, they claimed. Police suspect that the passports also acted as identification documents.
DCB Deputy Commissioner of Police Manoj Sashidhar said: “The module has a link to Harkat-ul-Jehadi Ismali (HUJI) too. The youths sent by the module used to get training in terrorist camps in Bangladesh. There is a lot of information coming in from the interrogation of those arrested and we are looking at all aspects.”
