AGARTALA: A Bangladeshi national suspected to have links with terrorist organisation HuJI has been arrested here on charges of indulging in anti-India activities and arms trafficking, police said on Monday.
Acting on a tip off, a joint team of Tripura police and CID sleuths on Saturday raided a house at Ramnagar and arrested Mamun Mia alias Suman Majumder, who identified himself as a garment trader from West Bengal.
Police said Mamun Mia's whereabouts were traced with the help of a pen drive the West Bengal police had seized from two Bangladeshi nationals arrested on January 15 in the Shibpur police station area near Kolkata.
Apart from the pen drive, the police had also seized high explosives, gelatin sticks and maps of a few Army camps in north Bengal.
Mia was flown to Kolkata on Saturday for interrogation.
Mia had been staying in Agartala for about three months and managed to get a permanent residence certificate.
The police suspect that Mia may have active links with the Harkat ul Jihadi Islami (HuJI) and is investigating if a racket in arms smuggling from Bangladesh exists in Tripura.
