The mastermind behind the deadly terror attack in city’s Gulshan Café is now hiding in West Bengal, reports The Times of India.
The mastermind identified as Suleiman is now hiding in Malda, a bordering district of West Bengal province of the country.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s International Affairs Adviser Dr Gowher Rizvi indicated the government’s willingness to share a dossier of “missing youths” with India, underlining the country’s intent to jointly fight cross-border terror.
According to the report, a key plotter in the July 1 Gulshan carnage slipped into West Bengal seven months before the attack.
Investigators in West Bengal have been on the lookout for a key JMB operative,
Md Suleiman, whose name cropped up while questioning a militant Abu Al-Musa Al Bangali alias Musa arrested by the state CID from Burdwan 10 days ago.
Suleiman was Musa’s handler for the past two years, the report added.
Speaking at a conference on regional cooperation, Rizvi said Bangladesh was preparing a dossier on missing youths from the country and would share the information with India to help trace them.
In this month’s terror attack at Holey Artisan Bakery, three of the terrorists who hailed from affluent families in Dhaka had gone missing four to six months before the attack.
Further investigations revealed that over 100 youths, most in their 20s, are missing from Dhaka.
The mastermind West behind the Holey attack had slipped into India and was hiding somewhere in West Bengal.
“Investigators dealing with the dreadful Gulshan attack claimed to have identified the mastermind, saying he fled the country at least seven months ago after finalising the operation plan and is now hiding in West Bengal…” the report stated.
Around the time of the “disappearance”, sleuths here say Musa met Suleiman in Malda, a bordering district. The two had earlier met six times between 2014 and 2015.
