High Alert In West Bengal As Pakistan’s Mohsin Naqvi Set To Visit Bangladesh; Suspected LeT Infiltration

A security alert surfaced in West Bengal ahead of the May 9 swearing-in at Brigade Parade Ground. The alert followed online claims about a Pakistan delegation reaching Bangladesh on May 8. The claims appeared days after the BJP won 206 seats in the 2026 West Bengal Assembly elections. Agencies in India reportedly tightened checks near the eastern border.

Bangladeshi senior journalist Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury wrote on X that Pakistan’s Federal Interior Minister Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi was arriving in Dhaka. Choudhury said Naqvi was travelling with a nine-member team on Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight BG342. No official body in India, Bangladesh, or Pakistan confirmed the claim.

Choudhury listed nine names linked to the Mohsin Naqvi Dhaka Visit. Sources also suggested possible presence of ISI-linked members and explosive experts tied to Lashkar-e-Taiba. Those sources claimed the group would travel by road towards Benapole in Jessore. Benapole borders India and is seen as a sensitive crossing point.

The Mohsin Naqvi Dhaka Visit was discussed amid reports of warmer Bangladesh-Pakistan relations. The shift was linked to Tariq Rahman’s new government in Bangladesh. It also echoed outreach seen during Muhammad Yunus’s interim administration. This week, Bangladesh sent senior officials from Commerce, Home, and Public Administration ministries to Pakistan.

The visit to Pakistan was described as a mid-career training programme after Bangladesh’s independence. Pakistan reportedly covered the full cost. Observers viewed these moves as steps towards deeper administrative and strategic coordination. The claims also raised questions about regional geopolitics. The same period saw heightened debate on border management after the West Bengal election result.

Concerns also rose after Chandranath Rath was shot dead in Madhyamgram. Rath was a personal assistant to BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari. The killing happened about 48 hours after the BJP’s victory. Police have not linked the case to any wider plot. Still, the timing drew attention in political and security circles.

The India-Bangladesh border stretches about 2,200 km and remains vulnerable to smuggling and infiltration. Pakistani terror groups, including LeT, have been accused of using Bangladesh routes earlier. Sources said police and the BSF increased surveillance after the claims emerged. With no official statements yet, attention stayed on investigations and any formal responses.
