The home ministry will form a six-member committee to collaborate with Indian investigators probing the Burdwan blast of Oct 2.
A four-member team of India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) arrived in Dhaka on Monday to probe into the blast that killed two suspected Islamist militants in West Bengal.
The government will provide all sorts of legal support what it can to the Indian investigation, said Home Secretary Dr Md Mozammel Haque Khan on Monday after a meeting between the sides.
He said: “We decided to form a six-member committee led by an additional secretary of the home ministry, Kamal Uddin Ahmed.”
This committee will help ascertain identities of suspects that the Indian team suggests.
Inspector General of Police Hassan Mahmood Khandker, Director General of BGB Major General Aziz Ahmed, Director General of RAB Mokhlesur Rahman were also present at the meeting.
The NIA team arrived in Dhaka earlier in the morning headed by their director general, Sarod Kumar.
An improvised explosive device went off at a house in Burdwan district. The explosion gave rise to fears that the Indian state across Bangladesh's border might have turned into a hub for militants.
A huge stash of bomb-making materials was recovered from the spot.
India subsequently warned Dhaka that the bombs being assembled there were meant for use in subversive activities in Bangladesh.
Later, the NIA claimed that it had uncovered a JMB plot to assassinate Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as a reaction to her firm stance against militancy.
West Bengal police have already arrested Sajid, a Bangladeshi national and a commander of the banned Islamist militant outfit, Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangaldesh (JMB).
Sajid said during interrogation that he and his wife, Fatima, had been training people at the Shimulia Madrassa, teaching them jihadi doctrine and getting them ready to take part in terror attacks.
Sajid allegedly paid Rs8.75 lakh to another accused Kausar, also a Bangladeshi national, for purchasing land for a madrassa in Burdwan.
