Kolkata, Nov 8 (IBNS): The Bidhannagar City Police on Saturday arrested suspected Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) commander Sajid, who is the mastermind of Burdwan blast case, from Dumdum airport area here.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has declared that Sajid alias Rahamatullah was the chief the Burdwan module and they also announced a reward of 10 lakhs for any information leading to his arrest.

The commissioner of Bidhannagar Police Commissionerate, Rajeev Kumar told IBNS that the Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) team of the Bidhannagar Police, in association with the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of West Bengal and the Kolkata Police, have arrested Sajid from the city.

The Police have seized 1 lakh rupees, a false PAN card and a voter card from him.
