It has also prompted blame-game between the Trinamool Congress and BJP over law and order in the state and the Centre's role in checking infiltration from Bangladesh

The arrest of two suspected Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT) operatives, Minarul Sheikh (48), a pump mechanic, and Md Abbas Ali (29), who were in the process of establishing a small educational center for children, in Murshidabad by the West Bengal Police occurred just days before the latest development.

The West Bengal STF, in coordination with Jammu and Kashmir Police, arrested suspected TuM terrorist Javed Munshi near Canning while he attempted to cross into Bangladesh.

A Pakistan-trained Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen terrorist, Jawed Munshi, wanted for the 2011 murder of a cleric in J&K, was arrested in West Bengal. Posing as a shawl seller, he planned to flee to Bangladesh.

The capture of Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen operative Javed Munshi in Bengal has ignited political accusations, with Trinamool Congress (TMC) blaming the Centre for lax border security and BJP countering with allegations of state inaction on land for BSF outposts.

The man, identified as Javed Munshi, is believed to be a senior member of the banned terrorist organisation Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen (TuM). According to sources cited by India Today TV, Munshi had undergone training in Pakistan.
