Barasat/IBNS: The Kolkata Police arrested a student for alleged links with Pakistan-based militant group Laskar-e-Taiba from Baduria in Bashirhat district of West Bengal, media reports said.

According to a Times of India report, Tania Parveen, a student of Arabic in a well-known college of Kolkata, had made and received several calls to and from Pakistan over several months.

A special task force of Kolkata Police arrested the 21-year-old student from her Baduria home after following her activities which indicated her links to Lashkar, the report said.

The police recovered two mobile phones and a diary. She was produced in Barasat Court on Thursday and remanded to police custody for 14 days.
