The Simulia cluster of five villages from which the madrasa derives its name,
located around 35 km from Burdwan, is surprised at the charges. The villagers,
mostly Muslim, say they saw no sign of such activities.
Findings of the probe so far, in fact, point to Simulia madrasa being a radical
Islamic centre than a training ground for jehadis, with not one gun or any
explosive being found. What is also clear is that it drew its girl students from
outside the Simulia area. Barring one family, nobody from the villages here sent
their girls there to study. Since the Burdwan blast though, Borhan Sheikh and
Yousuf Sheikh, who helped set up the madrasa, are absconding.
The two had also bought land to set up another madrasa in Simulia, about half a
kilometre away. Work on it has been halted.
According to the NIA, the Simulia madrasa was the centre for arms training for
women cadres linked to the Jamaat-ul-Mujaheedin Bangladesh, with at least 25 of
them receiving training there.
Rosula Biwis land borders the madrasa spread over 6,300 sq ft of land. The
family survives on a nursery that her two daughters have grown on the plot.
Looking for explosives, the NIA had drained the pond on Rosulas land but found
nothing.
Says Rosula, Even if a cycle tyre bursts here, people get to know. Being next-
door neighbours, wont we get to know if there was shooting practice at the
madrasa?
About 20 yards away, lives Sakina Biwi. As her grandson and grand-daughters
Salma, Naseema and Habiba crowd around her, she explains why the family didnt
send the girls to the madrasa. It is a purdah madrasa (where women have to wear
a veil). We did not want to put our kids there to learn religious scripts.
levelled at the madrasa. There was a veil of secrecy about it but dont you think
we would be the first to know if a single gunshot was fired inside? says Sakina.
Roquea Biwi and her daughter Shamima moved into their new two-storey pucca
house on the other side of the Simulia madrasa just two months ago. They said
they never noticed any suspicious activity, let alone a shooting range.
The imam of the Simulia Uttarpara Mosque, Sanaullah aka Bokul, sent his 13-
year-old daughter to the madrasa, the only one who appears to have done so here,
but only for a couple of weeks.
He says he sent his daughter to learn religious teachings but regretted it almost
immediately. No proper lesson was imparted there. Also, they wanted to charge
Rs 1,000 per month, which I had no means to pay, he says.
A resident of Simulia, Borhan Sheikh, had donated the land for the madrasa
around 2009 and helped run it along with Yousuf. His wife Fatehma taught at the
madrasa. All three are now absconding.
Borhans 70-year-old mother Asura Biwi breaks down recalling how afraid the
family was when police came searching for him following the blast. In
nervousness, she says, she couldnt speak when asked for her sons names. They
slapped me saying I was acting.
Borhan used to run a carpentry unit in Mangalkot market. Asura Biwi says he gave
land for the Simulia madrasa as it is perhaps one of the most pious things a
Muslim can do.
Others in the village vouch that Borhan was a devout Muslim who said namaz five
times a day and led a simple lifestyle. Dalim Sheikh, the local panchayat member
and Trinamool Congress worker, recalls seeing Borhan and Yousuf occasionally at
the local market in Mangalkot about 2 km away. But the women at the madrasa
always wore a burqa and hardly came out, says Dalim.
These women were mostly from poor families in Murshidabad, Nadia and some
parts of Burdwan whose parents couldnt afford a better education. The madrasa
with residential facilities gave them religious education as well as took care of
their basic needs.
Even the 10-odd policemen at the camp set up inside the Simulia madrasa since
the NIA took over investigations have doubts about it being a terror centre. Take
the charge of students receiving shooting practice, they say. The small area and
the neighbouring settlements would have been major impediments, says one of
the policemen.
Narrating the sequence of events, top police sources say that a day after the blast at
Burdwans Khagragarh, the Simulia madrasa put up a notice saying it was closing
for Eid. Soon after, the Sheikhs went missing. On October 9, the name of the
madrasa came up during interrogation of Razia and Alima, the wives of the
Burdwan blast accused. But even before police could reach the place, some
mediapersons entered the madrasa. They found nothing.
According to a senior police official, this is what the NIA has seized so far: a long
white fibre wire (probably used for
drying clothes); SIM cards; mobile phones; phone books (but with no Bangladeshi
number, despite alleged Bangladeshi links); a voter ID card; literature from the
Internet; notebooks with writings such as Muslims are downtrodden, one must
qurban (sacrifice) ones life for Islam, and that Muslims must fight oppression
(all of it termed jehadi); a Nano car; IED-making procedures from the Net;
about 12 airgun pellets; knee caps; one roller shoe; and Bengali books of
Bangladeshi publications.
It might be the airgun pellets that led to the suspicion of there being shooting
practice at Simulia madrasa, says a senior police official involved in the probe.
Razia and Alima reportedly told police that students were taught how to uncock a
gun. But no supportive evidence has been found, particularly any gun. Not even
a grain of explosive was seized from the madrasa, the official adds.
