On October 2 in 2014, a powerful bomb (IED) blast took place at the first floor of a rented house in the busy Khagragarh locality of Burdwan District of West Bengal at about 12:15pm.

The IED had accidentally gone off at the time of its making by the members of banned terrorist outfit Jama'atul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB).

The rented house was occupied by the members of JMB, ostensibly for Burkha Stitching though in reality it was being used for nefarious activity of bomb making, the NIA statement said.

Two accused persons in the case had succumbed to their injuries caused due to bomb blast and one accused survived with grievous injuries.

The case was initially registered by West Bengal Police, which was subsequently taken over by NIA for investigation.

The investigation by NIA revealed a conspiracy by JMB to radicalise, recruit and provide training in arms and explosives to its members in India as well as to commit terrorist acts and wage war against the democratically established Governments of India and Bangladesh, according to the NIA statement.

A large number of IEDs, explosives, hand grenades, training videos were recovered during the investigation of the case.
