Takes only Rs 4,000 to breach border security: Madhya Pradesh cops after grilling JMB terrorists

BHOPAL: It took just Rs 4,000 in cash for Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) terrorists to breach India's border security and sneak in on a mission to set up sleeper cells in Bhopal, police said on Monday after interrogating the four JMB men arrested a day earlier.

The four of them had paid Rs 16,000 to touts, who helped them infiltrate through porous points along the 4,096km stretch India-Bangladesh border, said police. They most likely crossed over at Benapole, which shares a border with West Bengal's North 24-Parganas district and is barely 90km from Kolkata.
