The Telegraph report cited a source saying Idris was moving between Hyderabad and Kolkata, trying to recruit and radicalise youth through the Rohingya crisis. As the persecution of Rohingyas is an emotional issue in Bangladesh, the JMB, intelligence sources said, is trying to use it to regroup after the government crackdown on extremist elements after the cafe attack. A fortnight ago, a Delhi police team came to Kolkata and conducted a joint operation with the officers of the central Intelligence Bureau to pick up Idris. After the failed attempt, the central agencies had shared the information about Idris with Kolkata police and sought their assistance. Kolkata police arrested him from Colootola and handed him over to the special cell of the Delhi police earlier this week.
