NIA had taken over the probe on March 2 this year.The official said that during probe it was revealed that Islam and Samad had hatched a criminal conspiracy to kill Hossain, the then West Bengal Minister of Labour and his supporters in order to strike terror in the minds of the people and to derail the impending Assembly Election (March-April, 2021).The official said that Islam had procured materials for making IED from the local shops and had held various meetings with Samad for final selection of site for executing the conspiracy."Both the accused persons had also unsuccessfully tried to destroy the phones used by them for misleading the investigation agency," he said.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
