COMMUNAL CLASH IN KOLKATA


HINDU GIRL MOLESTED IN BELGACHHIA: MEDIA BLACKS OUT NEWS FOR KEEPING ‘PEACE’.

.

Islamic expansionism has gripped almost the whole of Kolkata. Barring a very few areas, every place has become sensitive due to Hindu-Muslim tension.
.

On 21st April evening, Belgachhia area of North Kolkata felt the communal heat. Hindu houses and a market was attacked, a Shiva temple was severely damaged, another temple attacked and some Hindus were beaten up mercilessly.
.

Kundu Lane of Belgachhia area is a mixed population area. The Hindu inhabited Kundu Lane Slum and Muslim inhabited Belgachhia Slum are adjacent. Hindu women and girls always have to face eve teasing, indecent gestures from the Muslim youths. There is a small tea-shop in Kundu Lane where both Hindus and Muslims drink tea. On last 21st April evening, the shop owner went out of his shop for some work. His 17 year old daughter was running the shop. Six Muslim youths came to the shop, ordered for tea, and started to disturb the girl with indecent gestures. At first the girl tried to ignore those. But ultimately the boys started molesting her by touching her body. This the girl could not tolerate and raised an alarm. Some Hindu youths rushed there, protested, but the Muslim boys ignored them and told them that it is no business of them. Then the Hindu youths beat the Muslim boys and locked up three of them to hand over to police. The other three fled and reported to Muslim locality. Hearing this, Muslims came back in large numbers. Hindus too became ready. Stone throwing started. By this time the police showed up. Somehow controlled the situation and took charge of the three Muslim boys. The police posting is continuing in the area.
.

Here it should be mentioned that this Kundu Lane comes under Ultadanga P.S. where officer in charge is Abdur Rejjak.
.

At 11 pm. night, it was dark due to usual power cut in Kolkata. Taking advantage of the darkness, Muslims of neighbouring area on the other side of a railway line joined the Muslims of the Belgachhia slum and they attacked Hindu area in Kundu Lane. First they attacked the local market of Kundu Lane, stoned and demolished some shops. Then they attacked 5/6 Hindu houses. They broke window panes and furniture and beat the members of the houses mercilessly. Then the Muslims attacked a small Shiva-Temple and destroyed it partially. Then they started attacking the famous Yasho-Madhav Temple of the area. By this time, some Hindus gathered courage and unitedly started to resist them. The Hindus threatened the Muslims that if they do not stop attacking the Yasho-Madhav Temple, then they will demolish the nearby Mosque. The threatening worked and the Muslims retreated in the dead of night.
.

Among the Hindu houses attacked, one prominent was of Ms. Namita Das. She is an elected Councilor/Corporator of that area, i.e., Ward No. 3. She is from CPI(M). Her father shouted in next morning, “ We fled from East Bengal to avoid persecution by Muslims. Here too the same situation. Where is your Subhas Chakraborty (A Minister and MLA of that area)? He is such a big leader, why he has not come to save us?”
.

In the morning of 22nd April, Hindus gathered in large number at Kundu Lane. They were tremendously aggrieved. Sri Bablu Das, a CPI(M) cadre and brother of Namita Das led the mob to Belgachhia Metro Rail station. They blocked the Metro Rail service for 2 hours in morning. A huge Police contingent with RAF (Rapid Action Force) reached there to control the Hindus. Kolkata Police Commissioner Gautam Mohan Chakraborty himself came, tried to pacify the Hindus. After 2 hours, blocked of Metro Rail was lifted, but the main road block continued till 1 pm. Their main demand was to arrest all the six Muslim culprits. Police already let off the three molesters whom they booked previous evening.
.

On the 22nd afternoon, a Hindu Samhati Team visited the area. The whole area is cordoned off by a large number of police. Hindus are afraid that anytime Muslims from the other side of Railway line will enter their area and attack them. There is a large Railway residential housing complex, named Dakhindari Rail Quarter by the side of the rail line. Hindu residents of Kundu Lane and Dakhindari Rail Quarters are now demanding to build a high wall in between the Rail line and the Rail quarter. What a pity! We saw that a large number of police manning that boundary area very cautiously. We also came to know that Kolkata Police Commissioner assured the Hindus that the high wall will be built.
.

On 23rd April morning Md. Salim came to the area to meet the people there. Hindu women abused him, and he had to flee the scene. Md. Salim is the CPI(M) candidate in the ensuing Parliamentary Election from this Kolkata North Constituency.
.

Everyday evening, the women Metro Rail commuters of this area have to face the misbehavior and indecent gestures by the Muslim youths. It has become a practice for them. So, Hindus of the area are already perturbed and aggrieved. The whole area has become extremely tense.
.

On 23rd April morning, in the advice of their leaders, Muslims too blocked the main road to use pressure-tactic so that Police do not arrest the Muslim culprits.
.

The eve-teasing and molestation of women is not confined to Belgachhia alone in Kolkata. It is a common practice by the Muslim youths in many areas of Kolkata.
.

Police and State Govt tried to prevent the media persons to enter the area. But here, media houses are more than willing to suppress the news. Their stated theory is: the news of any communal clash will spread the clash in more areas. So, it is better to suppress this type of news for maintaining communal peace. Hence, Ananda Bazar group of papers absolutely blacked out this news. Bartaman and some other papers published it very insignificantly, as a mere eve-teasing news. n HinduSamhati.org

.

It is reported that BJP candidate from Kolkata North Parliamerntary Constituency and Ex-President of BJP State Committee Sri Tathagata Roy visited the disturbed area disguisedly and held a meeting near Tala Park and protested the increasing muslim hooliganism in and around Kolkata. The local police prevented Mr Roy to hold any meeting at the nearest to the spot of humiliation and molestation of a Hindu girl.

SFI activist beaten up for Anti-Indian activities.

.............................................................................

What do they mean for Indian Nationalism?.............................
Bharat Mata and Bande Mataram are still communal and objectionable for SFI members ??

Mashat, Hoogly, West Bengal, India 22nd April, 2009: During a campaign programme in the Vidyasagsar Mahavidyalaya (College) at Suchia, Mashat some altercation took place between the student-supporters of SFI(Students Federation of India) and ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad), April,16th,2009. Mirazul Rahaman, a activist of SFI fueled in that altercation by damaging a portrait of Bharat Mata (Mother India) printed in the posters made by ABVP State Committee. It is reported that a violent Mirazul smashed the posters by his feet and uttered some ugly slogans against Indian Nationalism and Hindus in general. The posters alerted the viewers about the menace of increasing Bangladeshi Infiltrators in India , as well as West Bengal and the matter of public insecurity caused by the different attacks of Islamist outfits in the name of Jehad. The Hindu students and the ABVP supporters challenged Mirazul, but the culprit fled away successfully with the help of his fellow comrades.The aggrieved Hindus demanded an apology by Mirazul for his anti-national activities.

It was the 11 am of 22nd April, when some students challenged Mirazul and demanded his apology for his early misdeeds on the locality of Suchia. For an unchanged Mirazul, the public compelled to beat him pungently till a Mirazul can understand the severity of doing some anti-national propaganda and the meaning and honor of Bharat Mata to the Indians. Mirazul later admitted into a local nursing home for his treatment. As per latest, a tension prevails around the locality and the organized Hindu students vowed to face any situation to save the dignity of Indian Nationalism at any cost. They will not tolerate any humiliation of India and anti-national propaganda any way as an agitated student remarked very confidently.

Strong Protest against Bengali Film "CHALLENGE...nibi na sala"

Sammilita Gaudiya Vaishnava Samaj, Hindu Samhati and United Hindu Forum challenged the Bengali Film "Challenge".

Diamond Harbour, South 24 Pgs, WB, India, April 12, 2009: A strong protest and high agitation interrupted the smooth show of Bengali Film "Challenge nibi na sala" at New Bijoli Cinema Hall at the southern town of Diamond Harbour, 45 km away from Kolkata. The protesters pulled down the banners and posters outside the Hall and set fire with slogans that the Hindus will not tolerate anyway the humiliation of Hindu God and Goddesses and Great men in the name of entertainment. This film runs a song "Bhaja Gouranga, Laha Gouranga , Kaho Gouranga...... Krishna korle lila, amra korle bila" which depicts some obscene and vulgarity in a dance scene in a pub.

Some 2oo protesters lead by Sri Madan Prabhu, Head Monk of Local Gaudiya Math and Upananda Brahmachari, Prominent Activist of Hindu Samhati, blocked the entrance of the Hall and delivered their lectures for re-censor the impugned song and eliminate the song at once to respect the sentiments of Hindus hurt by the unnecessary input of the song in question. Sri Barun Shankar Thakur, a whole timer of RSS was also present all along to encourage the participators in the agitation.

The Protester shouted slogans as, Hindus will not tolerate any humiliation upon dharma, The Producer and Censor Board have to put off the derogatory song about Sri Krishna and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Stop all types of humiliation of Hindu Dharma and Hindu great men in Literature, Paintings, Songs, Drama and advertisements. Jai Sree Ram, Sri Krishna Chandra Ki Jai, Chaitanya Maha Prabhu Ki Jai, Bharat Mata Ki Jai slogans rented the air when the agitation was in a high pitch. Sri Madan Prabhu emphatically delivered in his lecture we will adopt the same way as shown by Sri Chaitanya Maha Prabhu in the case of Chand Quazi Dalan, if the Hindus do not get positive result. This is not a protest for one time, now the Hindus are ready to protest several times until the justice and prestige of Dharma is upheld.

Sri Upananda Brhmachari met the press and declared that honoring the interim order of Sri Tapas Mitra, Honb'le Judge of Nabadwip Court, we have performed the whole agitation keeping law and order properly. That does not mean that the Hindus are passive. As the Producer and Director are directed to appear to Court on 17th April, we will wait for that time. We have full faith on Judiciary. But, if the same is reluctant to save the sentiments of Hindus, the Hindus will see the last of it. Brahmachari added that a formal representation will be given to the SDO Diamond Harbour with mass signature. Sri Amaresh Mukherjee, educationist and critic joined the protest rally and resented with the vulgarity in modern films and literature by some so called secular elements in Bengal. Sri Tapan Biswas, renowned Advocate, Diamond Harbour Criminal Court also present in the protest rally.

The Hindu leaders of the protest rally gave a written protest letter to Sri Chandi Jana, the owner of New Bijoli Cinema Hall to ban the song in question. Sri Jana assured that he will take the matter of sentiment of Hindus very quickly to the Producer of the Film.

The organisers of the Protest rally expect from the International Hindu Community to creat a Pressure Group for banning the derogatory song in the Bengali Film " Challenge.. nibi na sala" .What a Sub-Title of the Film !! This is the language they want to introduce with. Really this a challenge to Indian tradition, Bengali culture and Legacy of Tagore , Nazrul, Sukanta and Jeevananda of Bengal.

Unprecedented Protests of Bengali Hindus against the Bangla Movie -"Challenge......nibi na shala".

..................................................................................................................................................................
Kolkata & Bagnan, Howrha, April 9th, 2009.

This time the Bengali Hindus throughout West Bengal are coming to road to register their protest against the Bengali Film "Challenge". In this action-drama-love-comedy cocktail 'Bangla Boi' an unnecessary disco extravaganza song runs for fun using filthy and derogatory words in the name of Lord Krishna. The 'Samkirtan Padas' are also used in this song in a very unusual manner of hitting the sentiments of all Gouriya Vaishnavite and Hindus in general. The song " Baja Gourang Kaho Gouranga Laha Gourangaer Nam Re" in a very seductive dance of the Hero of this film with ultra skirted Heroin, goes further "Krishna Korle Lila, Amra Korle Billa" and so on. This song has no relevance with the story and importance even portraying the situation.

The movie -Challenge- is an action movie based on a love story of Abir played by Dev and Pooja played by Subhashree. Subhashree portrays a girl with an extremely conservative and obsessive father. Abir is her classmate and She falls in love with him. Her father Mr. Agnidev Sen never tolerates anyone looking at her that way or even tries to be friend with his daughter. He terrifies, beats everybody to protect his daughter. Abir ‘challenges’ Mr. Agnidev Sen that he will marry Pooja with his permission and at his house and Abir’s father (Biswajit Chakraborty) encourages him to continue his fight on. Subhashree also loves her dad but at the same time dreams about someone capable enough to challenge her dad. Who can really fight her dad for her. Abir’s courage and determination eventually gets Abir and Pooja married. There is no connection of the Song hitting the sentiment of Hindus with the story or the situation of the Film.Starring by Dev, Subhashree Ganguly, Rajatava Datta, Labony Sarcar, Biswajit Chakraborty, Tulika Bose, Tamal Rai Chowdhury, Supriyo Datta and others and Directed by Raj Chakraborty and Produced by Shree Venkatesh Films hit the Bengali Film Market with a big budget. The shooting of the film was held at different locations at Dubai, Australia, New Zealand and Kolkata. The Music of the film is arranged by Jeet Ganguli. All the Hindu Film stars or connected people with this film did not even bother trying to demoralize an Ideal of Indian and Bengali Culture. Lord Shri Krishna and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu are mostly revered not only India or Bengal but throughout the World of Hindu Culture.

Though from Mayapur, Nabadwip the very 'Lilasthali of Mahaprabhu Sri Chaitanya', the protest against the vulgarity in the film depicting Lord Krishna and Sri Chaitanya was initiated in the last of March, now the protests and agitations are likely to be held in every corner and cinema hall showing this film.

In North Bengal, Matha Bhanga, Cooch Behar District, the Gouriya Vaishnav Samaj took out a silent march on 8th April, with protest banners and distributed leaflets. On behalf of Matha Bhanga Vaishnab Samaj, Sri Goutam Goswami retaliated to the press that this is a big jab to the Believers of Sanatana Dharma. We also sing the same Bhaja Gouranga in our Samkirtan , but the film maker did it a very objectionable way. The picturization of the song is very much nasty and obscene as an annoyed Goswami remarked promptly. The Organizers of Martha Bhang Vishnu Samar has chalked out protest rallies before the Cinema Halls showing this deliberated film against Hindu sentiments. They also gave a memorandum to the SDO (Sub Divisional Officer) to censor and cut off the scene of dance from the film for uninterrupted show. Otherwise the problem will be more serious.

In South Bengal, in front of a Cinema Hall at Bagnan, Howrah the Devotees of Mayapur Gouriya Ashram's Ramchandrapur Unit, obstructed the Matinee show showing the film - 'Challenge' and teared off the Posters and banners of the Film. The devotees shouted 'Jai-Dhwani' of Sanatana Dharma and did Samkirtan jubilantly. The passersby and the people in the ticket queue also joined the Samkirtan Group. On behalf of the Ramchandrapur Mayapur Gouriya Ashram, Sri Arindam Das Prabhu told the media that the agitation must not stop until the goal is reached. Further the Prabhu said that Sri Chaitnya was a Lion not a sheep. So the followers of Sri Chaitaya will surely defeat the culprits against Sanatana Hindu dharma.

As the trends of the agitation are going high pitch, the Administration and Police in West Bengal is contemplating it seriously. The Intelligence sources said that there will be more agitation in urban and town areas in West Bengal in coming weeks invariably.

The sentimentally injured Hindu people now expect a joint agitation and high protest by all the followers of Sri Krishna and Mahaprabhu Chaitanya including All Gaudiya Mathas, ISKCON, Ramakrishna Mission, Bharat Sevashram Sangha, Asam Bangiya Swarasat Math, All the Vaisnava Maths etc. against the impugned picturization of the song, " Bhaja Gouranga......."

Muslim cleric bans music in West Bengal village

Music fatwa at home or out

The Telegraph, Calcutta
ALAMGIR HOSSAIN

Jangipur : A maulana in Murshidabad has banned listening to music at home or in concerts and playing songs in public.

The “fatwa”, written in bold on walls on both sides of the approach road to Kanpur village in Raghunathgunj, bears the stamp of the local club and the Mazaar and Madarsa Committee.
“Music is prohibited in this village,’’ reads one.

From the tea stall owner to residents, everybody has been served with the notice, asking them not to play music or watch a dance performance on stage or on television.
Members of the Kanpur Nabajagaran Club are even visiting households to keep a check. The penalty for defying the order: Rs 1,000.

Lutful Sheikh, the secretary of the club, about 280 km from Calcutta, said Rajjak Sheikh, who deals in children’s toys at the local market, was fined for playing a CD in his shop.
A religious leader from Uttar Pradesh first imposed the ban. “Sayed Ahmed Kalimi from Katra Sharif in Shahjahanpur visits us every year being the peer sahib of our village and the head of the local madarsa. He imposed the ban in May,” the club secretary said.
Mohammad Safiullah, the head maulana of the village madarsa, said: “Shariyat does not permit Muslims to enjoy music.”

“I declared the fatwa after consulting the senior people of this village. In the past seven months no one has dared to challenge my directive but for one businessman,” Safiullah said.
Hyder Ali, a member of the Kanpur village panchayat, said: “The villagers have supported the fatwa as it has helped develop the moral character of the present generation. Present trends of music and other forms of entertainment affect the upbringing of a child.”
However, Sukhchand Sheikh, who owns a tea stall, said his business has suffered because of it. “I had a TV set in my stall and everybody enjoyed music and other programmes. Now that it is switched off, the number of customers has declined.”
The inspector in charge of the Raghunathgunj police station, Subhendu Banerjee, was, however, “not aware of any such fatwa”.

The matter came to light on December last, but the villegers are still in threat of the Bengal Talibans inroaded the core of Bengal life where the muslims are majority in West Bengal. The muslims also love music. They have rich legacy of Bengali folk songs. The Bhatiali, Jari, Fakiri tradititions are the inspeparable part of Bengali folk songs. Lalan Fakir,Quazi Nazrul and other Muslim folk singers are highly estimated for their Islami songs, as well their Shyama Sangeet and other sensetions. In rural and urban areas the muslim women sing in their own tradition. But all these are under the threat of this Talibani Music Fatwa.

Sourav Ganguly & Sachin Tendulkar in Hit List of Pak Terror

One Captain of Indian Cricket Team compared with Kasav now targated by the Kasavs.

.......................................................................................................................................................................

Though Ganguly was compared with Azmal Kasav, the notorious 26/11 terrorist earlier in a book, Mumbai : Dance of the Devil by Zaid Hamid, now Sourav is the most wanted target by the Pak terrorists. A very close Sourav to the State Minister Mr. Ashoke Bhattacharya and some times criticised as communist cricketer, the Ex-Captain of Indian cricket team is now in the hit list of Pak terrorists. And nobody can over rule the the seriousness of the situation when the pak agents or terrorist are caught time and again from Kolkata City and the surroundings.

Pak terrorists plan to kidnap Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar

Pak based Islamic militants plot to kidnap Indian cricketers Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar
By Dean Nelson in New DelhiTelegraph.co.uk, 19 Mar 2009

Fears over the threat to cricket posed by Islamic terrorism grew yesterday as it was revealed that two top Indian players were the targets of a kidnap plot hatched by Muslim militants.

A Pakistan-based Islamic group planned to kidnap the country’s former national cricket captain, Sourav Ganguly, together with legendary Test batsman Sachin Tendulkar.

A court in India has heard that a Pakistan-based Islamic group planned to kidnap the country’s former national cricket captain, Sourav Ganguly, together with legendary Test batsman Sachin Tendulkar.

The confession was made by Tariq Mohammed and Ashfaq Ahmed, who were members of the Harkat ul-Jehadi Islami (Islamic Holy War Movement), a Kashmiri separatist organisation which draws inspiration from Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.

US told it must hold talks with Taliban’s Mullah OmarThe pair told detectives that they had trained in Afghanistan and entered India from Bangladesh on a mission to kidnap the two cricket stars to force the release of two terrorist leaders being held in Indian jails.

Although the confessions were made in 2002, they have sent a chill through the Indian cricket establishment in the wake of the gun attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team in the Pakistani city of Lahore at the start of this month.

Details of the plot emerged as the Indian Premier League dropped Delhi and Jaipur as host venues for the forthcoming Twenty-20 cricket tourmament, amid fears that terrorists might attack key matches or abduct top cricket stars.

Indian home minister, P Chidambaram, had voiced doubts over whether the tournament would go ahead at all. Officials are concerned that it coincides with campaigning for the Indian general election, and fear the country’s security forces and police will be dangerously overstretched if they have to protect both events.

British and American officials have voiced fears that another terrorist attack in the run-up to the election could cause a new war between India and Pakistan.

The latest Premier League fixture list has now dropped Delhi and Jaipur from the list of venues, and shifted key matches to Dharamsala, the Himalayan hill town known as the home of the Dalai Lama.

It is a fact that not only Sachin or Sourav, they can finish every icon of Indian Society, if Terror Pakis get chance.

But What is the reaction of Sachin & Sourav ? Sachin is a typical Mumbaikar, but Sourav is a communist. Does Sourav know that he is compared with Kasav The 26/11 terroist ??

HuJI militant held in Baguiati, Kolkata.

Statesman News Service The Telegraph, Calcutta

( updated as on 13th April,2009)

KOLKATA, April 12: A suspected Bangladesh-based Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) activist aged 35-years and a Bangladeshi man, believed to be a key operative of conspiracy to assassinate Sheikh Hassina, was arrested in Baguiati early on Sunday.

Mufti Ibrahim ~ who had allegedly planned to carry out an explosion to kill Bangladesh Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina back in 1999 ~ was detained by Criminal Investigation Department (CID) today. An officer of CID’s Special Operation Group (SOG) said the suspected Huji militant, Mufti Ibrahim had been staying at a rented house in Baguiati since 2000 posing as an umbrella trader. In late 1999, Ibrahim had planted a container with RDX in it, at a place at Gopalgunj in Bangladesh where Sheikh Hasina was holding a rally. She had a narrow escape after a local tea stall owner spotted the wire attached to the container and informed police, who deactivated the explosive shortly before the arrival of Sheikh Hasina.

Ibrahim, nephew of HuJI founder Mufti Hannan, fled from his home country in 2000 after his involvement in the case was out in the open.
“Ibrahim was arrested in connection with the plot to assasinate Sheikh Hasina and convicted,” said the official. “He fled Bangladesh in early 2000 and sneaked into West Bengal. We have information that he had travelled to Bangladesh on fake passports four times since.”

Infiltrating into India through a porous border, Ibrahim started staying in Nadia initially. Later, he came to Baguiati where he had set up a shop. He had been staying in a rented house in Baguiati posing himself as Manik Mondal, an umbrella trader from Nadia, a CID officer said adding that they had received a tip off about Ibrahim's hideout.

A raid was conducted this morning, following which Ibrahim was detained. He was brought to CID's headquarter at Bhawani Bhawan for interrogation. “We will seek help from the Bangladeshi High Commission in Kolkata who will apprise about Ibrahim's criminal record. Ibhrahim told us that he was desperately trying to get a ration card and an Indian passport,” a CID officer said. Sleuths suspect that Ibrahim had been receiving fund from his home country through a hawala channel. “We are yet to know whether he was involved with any other criminal syndicates in West Bengal. However, it is clear that during his stay in Baguiati, Ibrahim was in close contact with HuJI associates in Bangladesh.

CID officials said Mufti Ibrahim, whose name figured on the list of 95 most wanted people Dhaka had handed over to Delhi last year, had masterminded a failed attempt to attack Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in 2000.
It may be recalled that SOG officers have arrested a few more Bangladeshi criminals from Kolkata, in the past couple of months.

Terror catch in ticket queue In Kolkata

Telegraph News, March, 19, 2009

An alleged Pakistani ex-jawan-turned-terrorist said to have sneaked into the city through Bangladesh for a secret mission in Jammu and Kashmir was arrested at Fairlie Place on Thursday afternoon.
Shahbaz Ismail, police said, is a member of Al Badar, a terror outfit based in Pakistan and backed by the al Qaida. The 27-year-old, police added, was a former jawan of a Pakistani paramilitary force. He had crossed the Bangladesh border near Murshidabad on Wednesday.

He was arrested while waiting in a queue for booking a ticket to Jammu at the Fairlie Place railway reservation office.

Police were acting on a tip-off from the Border Security Force. “They might have come to know when Ismail crossed the border. We found out that he would go to Fairlie Place to buy a rail ticket,” said an officer.

A team of officers was posted at the reservation office with Ismail’s photograph. The cops noticed him standing in queue in front of counter No. 20 and detained him. A cellphone with a Bangladeshi SIM card was found in the leather bag he was carrying.

“Ismail was sent to India by the terror outfit on a secret mission. We are yet to find out the details of the operation,” said Rajeev Kumar, the special inspector-general of the Special Task Force (STF).
Ismail told interrogators that he was born in Dera Ghazi and joined Pakistan Rangers (batch No. R39409), a paramilitary force, in 2004. “After a year of training, he was posted in Sialkot. He served the force till last year,” added Kumar.

Ismail said in his statement that he flew from Karachi to Dhaka on a Pakistani passport and waited there a few days for instructions from his team leader. He was then asked to enter India.
According to the Intelligence Bureau, over 80 per cent of the Al Badar recruits used to work for the Pakistan army and paramilitary forces. “The outfit wants to build up a troop with youths trained by the armed forces,” said an officer.

This is notable that Two other Terrorists were arrested at Sealdah (Kolkata) area just two weeks before.


Pak soldier-turned-ultra sent to foment terror held in Kolkata

Statesman News Service KOLKATA, March 19: Officers of Kolkata police's Special Task Force (STF) arrested a former Pakistani soldier in Fairlie Place this afternoon on charges of attempting to sponsor terrorist activities in India. Police said 27-year-old Sahabaz Ismail, had links with Al Badar, a Pakistan-based terrorist outfit. Sahabaz entered India from Bangladesh through the porous border in Murshidabad yesterday on a "specific assignment" that was handed to him by senior Al Badar members. He had planned to move to Jammu and Kashmir by train. He came to purchase a railway ticket at Fairlie Place today. Acting on a tip off from the Border Security Force (BSF) authorities, STF officers rounded him up near Fairlie Place around 3 p.m. today, said STF chief Mr Rajiv Kumar. Sahabaz, who used to work as a ranger with the Pakistani border force had left his job last year and joined a terrorist organisation. “During questioning, he confessed that he came to India for sponsoring terrorist activities in this country. He flew to Dhaka from Pakistan a few days ago and entered India through the porous border in Murshidabad yesterday,” Mr Kumar said. According to him, Sahabaz, a resident of Sumali village in Dera Ghazi Khan district in Punjab province of Pakistan, joined the Pakistani border force in December, 2004. His father's name is Mr Golam Farooq, a resident of Tehsa area in Pakistan. Sahabaz was posted at an outpost in Sialkot last year following completion of his training. He had graduated in Arts from a college in Pakistan in 2003, police said. After reaching Dhaka, he surrendered his Pakistani passport to Bangladesh police and then came to India without any valid travel documents. “A cellphone with a Bangladeshi SIM card and some papers were seized from Sahabaz. He will be produced in the Bankshall court tomorrow,” Mr Kumar said, refusing to comment on whether Sahabaz was involved in any blasts triggered in India. “He came to India yesterday for the first time. We are interrogating him to know if he has contacts in the city. He came to Kolkata from Murshidabad by a train this afternoon,” he added.

I fell unconscious thereafter,” said a local trader Mr Ranjit Kumar Sha, describing the moment after the explosion.The explosion caused widespread panic and all shops and establishments closed for the day in the Choupathi area.
