Maharashtra Police had initially registered a case on March 16, 2018, on inputs that several Bangladeshi nationals were staying in Pune without valid documents. They were involved in abetting and aiding members of the ABT (a front organization of Al Qaida).

NIA took over the investigations of the case on May 18, 2018.

As per officials, NIA investigations revealed that, arrested Bangladeshi nationals had illegally infiltrated into India.

Furthermore, they harboured Samad Mia and other ABT members at a construction site in Pune. They also gave money to Tushar Biswas, a member of ABT and other members. NIA had filed charge sheets against all the arrested accused on September 7, 2018.”
