Kolkata: Under-trial ISIS operative Mohammed Mosiuddin, alias Abu Musa, had tried to slit the throat of a warden inside the Alipore Central Jail, officials said today.
The incident took place on Saturday at around 7 am when Musa, 27, tried to slash the throat of the warden in "ISIS-style" using the sharp end of a fork, a senior official of the state Correctional Home said.
Musa was arrested last year along with two others for trying to execute a plan of killing people in Birbhum district.
He added that Musa had hidden the fork from the cutlery that accompanied his food.
"A profusely bleeding Dey was taken to the SSKM hospital before being shifted to a private hospital," he said.
"We need answers like from where he got the stone and why nobody noticed that he had hidden the fork inside his cell," the officer said.
The state CID had taken up the case and during investigation Musa had reportedly confessed that he was in contact with some IS handlers and had recruited a few members in India. The NIA took over the case from the state CID and had submitted its charge sheet.
