 Four of the six people detained by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in Bihar’s lakhisarai district in connection with the Oct 27 Patna serial blasts, were sent to jail Saturday.

The NIA has detained six people and seized hundreds of bank passbooks, ATM cards and other documents in lakhisarai, about 150 km from here during raids at several places Friday night following intelligence agencies’ information, a police official said. “After interrogation, four of the six were sent to jail on charge of providing financial help to terror suspects after they were produced in court,” the official said.

During raids, the NIA recovered 300 passbooks, 30 ATM cards and other documents related to suspicious money transaction, the official informed. The NIA suspects that those detained have links with terrorists in and outside the country.
