Meanwhile, Suleiman is on the run and the Indian and Bangladeshi governments are looking for him.
Musa came under the scanner of CID and NIA after his e-mails and calls were traced to Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Syria. Officials in the investigating agency said that he had been in touch with several IS operatives in Syria through social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Initial investigations revealed that he had also been in touch with several JMB operatives in Bangladesh.
A three-member team of Bangladesh's security intelligence department came to Kolkata on Monday to interrogate Musa.
