NIA sees terror link to Karimnagar bank robbery
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing the link between Burdwan blast and a bank robbery in Telangana\'s Karimnagar district, according to police sources.
A team of official is probing the link between SBI robbery in Choppadandi village in February this year and the recent blast in Burdwan district of West Bengal
Hyderabad: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is probing the link between Burdwan blast and a bank robbery in Telangana's Karimnagar district, according to police sources.
The NIA officials visited Choppadandi village of the Karimnagar district, where four armed men looted Rs 46 lakh from State Bank of India (SBI) in February this year. The investigating agency collected Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) footages and other details from the local police.
The NIA is trying to find out if the gang involved in the bank robbery has any links with October 2 bomb blast at Khagragarh area of the Burdwan district of West Bengal. Two suspected members of Bangladesh's Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen died in the blast that occurred in a house. The investigating agency probing the blast reportedly recovered currency notes carrying the tags of SBI Choppadandi branch from the house.
The police in Karimnagar district suspect that four members of banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), who escaped from Khandwa Jail in Madhya Pradesh, are involved in the bank robbery on February 1.
The four SIMI members were among seven under-trials who broke the jail in October last year after stabbing two security guards. They also snatched rifles and wireless sets before escaping. The CCTV footage at the bank in Choppadandi shows four men entering the bank and looting the cash at gun point. Police suspect they are members of Abu Faisal gang which escaped from Khandwa Jail. No arrests have been made in the case so far.
