Shohel Mahfuz was also wanted by Indian National Investigation Agency over an explosion at a rented house of Khagragarh under Burdwan police station in West Bengal on October 2, 2014.
The Indian authorities branded him as a member of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen of Bangladesh and had announced a reward of Rs 10 lakh for any information leading to his arrest.

Asked whether Indian National Investigation Agency officials had interrogated Shohel Mahfuz, he said that as far his knowledge, Indian officials neither came to them nor interrogated Shohel Mahfuz.
‘If any other agency wants to interrogate him, they would need court order. We have no scope for allowing anyone to interrogate him without a court order,’ he said.
