Kolkata: A court on Saturday sent three people nabbed from Assam to eight-day NIA custody in connection with the Burdwan blast.
Eight other accused presented before the court were remanded to judicial custody till January 16.
The acting chief judge of Bankshall court G Talukdar sent Rafikul Islam, Saiful Islam, and Sahanur Alam to National Investigation Agency custody till January 9.
