Kolkata, Aug 15 (IBNS): A three-member-team of Bangladesh's security intelligence department is likely to visit Kolkata on Monday or Tuesday to interrogate ISIS suspect, who was booked in West Bengal and in National Investigation Agency (NIA) custody, sources said.

"The IS suspect, Mussa, had links with Bangladeshi terror group- Jamaat Ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) as well," one West Bengal Criminal Investigation Department (CID) source told IBNS.

"To question him in connection with their ongoing probe into the deadly terror attack in Dhaka’s Holey Artisan Bakery, which took place on July 1 night, few officials of Bangladesh intelligence and anti-terror agency- Rapid Action Battalion (RAB)- will be visiting Kolkata" the source further revealed.

Earlier on July 4, the suspect- Md. Masiruddin alias Mussa- was detained from Howrah to Rampurhat bound Viswabharati Fast Passenger train at Burdwan railway station and later he was taken to Kolkata.

After being grilled by WB CID, Intelligence Bureau (IB) and NIA officials at CID headquarters Bhabani Bhavan, Mussa was arrested on the next day.
