New Delhi, Oct 27 (Deccan Chronicle): National security adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval reached the Burdwan blast site on Monday and is scheduled to meet West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to talk tough on the terror investigation.

One of the masterminds in the blast, Mufazzal Hussain, is the man who had set up two madarsas in Murshidabad which were primarily acting as a front for terror camps and some of the Jamaat cadres were being trained here for making the IEDs.

Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JuM) is a banned terror outfit in Bangladesh and is suspected to have links with other bigger terror groups like HuJI and even Al Qaeda.

The NIA took over investigations into the case following directions from the MHA even as the TMC-led state government was reluctant for the Central anti-terror agency to conduct the investigations.

The NIA is now closely investigating another aspect into the case as a large amount of cash recovered from the house in Burdwan has apparently been traced to a bank robbery in Telangana a few months ago.

“We are trying to find out if there is a link between this terror module and the bank robbery as some of the cash from that incident has been recovered from the house,’’ an official said.
