The court had on Wednesday found the 19 accused, including four Bangladeshis, guilty of the charges. The court had taken 31 people into custody, of which 19 pleaded guilty before the court.

Among the Indian convicts, two female convicts were jailed for six years, and others for eight years each, the Indian Express said.

On October 2, 2014, two people were killed in the busy Khagragarh locality of Burdwan when an improvised explosive device that they were making went off. The house was taken on rent by banned militant outfit Jamat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) and reportedly used as a factory of firearms and explosives.
