The police are trying to find out if the three men had plans to carry out a terror attack in Kolkata. The suspects were living in a rented apartment at Haridevpur in the outskirts of Kolkata, said V Solomon Nesakumar, joint commissioner of police, STF, reports Hindustan Times.
The arrested men posed as traders and used to sell fruits and mosquito nets, police said.
“Militant literature and documents seized from the suspects prove their links with JMB. Fake identity cards were also seized. There is a diary that contains the names of Islamic State (IS) leaders,” Nesakumar added.
