Suspect detained in Kolkata not linked to Bodh Gaya blasts, say police

Suspect detained in Kolkata not linked to Bodh Gaya blasts, say police
Kolkata: The Kolkata police say no link has been established as yet between the terror suspect arrested on Saturday and Sunday's blasts in the Mahabodhi temple complex in Bodh Gaya, Bihar.

Anwar Hussain Mullick, 42, was arrested from a bus stop in the West Bengal capital on Saturday evening, with explosives and 1.9 lakh rupees in fake currency.

Kolkata's Special Task Force says as of now, Mullick seems to have no link with either the Bodh Gaya or Pune blasts of 2010. But the suspect's links with Indian Mujahideen founder Yasin Bhatkal are still being investigated.

The police claimed Mullick had confessed that he was associated with banned terror organisations and had supplied explosives to them.
