Kolkata (WB): Kolkata Police's Special Task Force (STF) on Sunday arrested three suspected Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) terrorists. The trio has been identified as Najiur Rahman, Rabiul Islam and Sabir. As per the report, The STF sleuths are interrogating them and trying to ascertain their other International terror links.

The arrested terrorists who had used forged documents to get a room on rent were straying in the middle-class locality under Thakurpukur police station limits for the past few months. “Preliminary investigations revealed that the three had informed their house owner that they had come there on some medical ground. We are trying to find out who else are involved with them. The motive behind their presence is also being probed," said an officer.

He further said that several documents, including jihadi materials, lists of JMB top leaders and their associates in other terror groups were seized from their possession. The police have also issued red alerts at railway stations in the state.

It is to be noted that a number of JMB operatives including Indians were arrested from West Bengal in the past few years.
