The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday arrested one more person from West Bengal in connection with the October 02, 2014, Burdwan blast.
The fresh arrest came days after four Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) militants, who were running terror camps in West Bengal, were arrested in connection with the blast.
The NIA has so far arrested more than 16 people, mostly Bangladeshis, for the blast that took place at a house in Khagragarh in Burdwan killing two JMB militants and injuring another.
The agency said the investigation so far has revealed that the militant outfit had established its network in many districts — particularly in Murshidabad, Nadia, Malda, Birbhum and Burdwan in Bengal, Barpeta in Assam, and Sahibganj and Pakur in Jharkhand.
