After days of toil, Biswas and his team found out the location of the radio
communications to be Basirhat area in North 24 Parganas and Sunderbans in
South 24 Parganas. "Such communications take place at night and the source
is the bordering Indo-Bangla areas," he said. The Ham or amateur radio
operators are under the Union Ministry of Communications and are licenced
card holders to conduct such communication under specific radio
frequencies. When asked how he found the communications suspicious, Biswas
said during 2002-03 too he had overhead such communication and later on
police after tracking the signals had arrested six extremists from
Gangasagar in South 24 Parganas. "At that point of time too I had overheard
such suspicious conversation in coded language. I had approached the then
Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, who instructed police officials to
get in touch with me. After tracking those signals, police arrested six
extremists from Gangasagar," he said.
