The militant specialises in making IEDs and arranging weapons for terror activities. The arrest was made by the STF within just three days of the arrest of two militants belonging to the terror outfit Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT), linked to the Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB), from Hariharpara in Murshidabad during a joint raid with the Assam Police. The militant identified as Javed Munshi was handed over to the Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Police who would take him to Kashmir.

Trinamool Congress leader Firhad Hakim said: "We have a zero tolerance policy. National security is the responsibility of the Centre. I will request the Union Home minister to strengthen the Border Security Force (BSF)."
