According to police, the four were arrested on Sunday after they were found loitering in front of a shop in a suspicious manner.

“Police received credible information that four persons were loitering in front of a shop in Anandapur. They looked suspicious and it was suspected they might be involved or committed any crime. Soon after receiving the information, a police team reached the spot and detained the four. They had a four-wheeler with them. Subsequently, they were interrogated and they disclosed their identity as Mijan Sheikh (38) of Rajbari, Bangladesh; Rubel Sheikh (27), Sobuj Kundu of Nadia, West Bengal, and Rahul Sheikh (27) from Bangladesh,” said a police officer.
