Pramod Kumar Singh / New Delhi
HOUSE IN WEST BENGAL VILLAGE AND IS CPM ACTIVIST------- A Bangladeshi accused of engineering the 400 serial explosions that rocked Dhaka and other towns across Bangladesh on August 17 has an Indian voter ID card, <b>a house in West Bengal where his name is included in the electoral roll and is an activist of the Communist Party of India (Marxist</b>). His family lives in Sonaberia town in Chittagong district of Bangladesh, a hotbed of jihadi activity.
Gayasuddin, one of the blast accused who was arrested by the police from Kadamtala in Satkhira region of Bangladesh on August 29, used to frequently cross the border into West Bengal where he has a house in Nityanand Khunti village of North 24 Parganas district.
According to intelligence operatives, he was last seen in Nityanand Khunti on August 26 but slipped out after villagers informed security agencies that he had come to seek refuge. The sources said that whenever Gayasuddin visited the village, he used to spend his nights at the village mosque.
<b>After dropping out of Sonaberia High School, Gayasuddin studied theology in a madarsa in the same town where he later became a qari. His wife and children continue to live in Sonaberia.</b>
<b>Believed to be an active supporter of the CPI(M), he used his West Bengal contacts to get a ration card despite his Bangladeshi nationality. His brothers Alauddin, Naseeruddin and Abu Hussain, who live in Nityanand Khnuti village, are also believed to be activists of the CPI(M).</b>
Gayasuddin was deeply involved with facilitating illegal immigration by Bangladeshis into West Bengal through Malda, Siliguri, Murshidabad and Dinajpur. West Bengal shares a 2,216 km-long porous border with Bangladesh.
Intelligence sources said that whenever Border Security Force (BSF) personnel enter a village along the border to identify illegal immigrants, aliens like Gayasuddin use loudspeakers installed in local mosques to raise an alarm by shouting "daakaat, daakaat" (dacoits, dacoits). With hordes of armed villagers streaming out of their homes, the BSF men are forced to beat a hasty retreat.
The unending influx of Bangladeshis into West Bengal has led to an alarming increase in criminal and subversive activities. Statistics show that there has been a 20 per cent increase in crimes ranging from rape to dacoity.
Illegal immigration from Bangladesh resulting in lakhs of aliens settling down in West Bengal, getting hold of ration cards and including their names in the electoral roll has had a political fallout. Analysis done by intelligence agencies shows that Bangladeshi immigrants can swing results in 52 Assembly constituencies and have a sizeable influence in 100 others in West Bengal.
