KOLKATA: A member of the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) was held from the Nalbari district of Assam for his alleged link in moving funds to the Burdhwan blasts. 

Sahanur Alom, who was nabbed by India’s the National Investigating Agency (NIA) Friday night, is being taken to Kolkata court, sources concerned said.

Alom's name had come up several times during the NIA's investigation of the Burdhwan case and they had even netted his wife Sujna last month for her alleged involvement in the case. 

Sahanur alam who goes by the alias Doctor was allegedly responsible for setting up modules for the JMB in Assam.

However the bigger allegation against him was that he had moved money between Assam and Burdhwan to fund the operations of the JMB. 

NIA sources said that he also operated several bank accounts into which money was transferred from Bangladesh. 

The money of the NIA suspects was to finance the Burdhwan modules. After getting credible intelligence, the NIA and the Assam police tracked him down despite Sahanur Alom moving around in disguise. 

On October 2, the blast in a house at Khagragarh in Burdwan town had taken place in which one person Shakil Ahmed died on the spot and another person Sovan Mandal died in hospital.
